I've gone in and edited the route descriptions for a number of routes - numbering them properly, or (in one case) noting that rock fall has completely changed/obliterated the route. After doing the edit, there is a little message saying that it must wait for moderation/approval... and I'll get a message.
Well, are route edits actually being looked at/moderated? It has been weeks for some of these changes.
If moderation of edits is not being done, perhaps leaving the editing open would be a better choice than, effectively, preventing any edits by nothing getting approved?

Ah, thanks. Apparently the areas I edited didn't have an editor to approve the changes. Looked like a place to volunteer.

Hi there,
I have validated the changes made to the routes (all 500 of them  ). I will keep an eye on the modified routes for now, so they shouldn't stack up so much again.

That's a lot of changes stacked up!
I'm willing to take over the Ontario routes.

I still don't think this area is getting much attention. IME, edits typically *never* get approved until/unless you PM an editor.

My understanding (and the behaviour I've seen) is that I get mailed if there is an edit I need to approve. I haven't seen any recently -- but I'm only dealing with Ontario -- have you submitted edits to the Ontario section that haven't been approved? Or was that a more general comment, rather than specifically addressed to me?

Or do you mean when you get a PM from a user, you follow up on their edit and approve it? GO
I get an automatic email notification from the site when a user makes an edit, so I can go and approve (or not) the edit.

Gotcha. So there are just a lot of editors asleep at the switch.
