Hi, Flash, thank you for fast response.
I've found the option and have sent new edit request. As I've stated earlier, I've used to send the same request from time to time in the past, but from mobile client instead.
Concerning the status of my edit: I can't see the request in "Your contributions > EDITS" section. You see, when I send request using "Send feedback -> Missing place", I see the request inside the forementioned section, but if I use "Send feedback -> Suggest an edit", the request isn't shown, so I can't find it's status.
Right now, I've tried "Missing place" one more time, the request is approved. However, the previous same requests were rejected. The difference between the previous and latest request is just the "Name" field, the most recent I've used is "Apartment building", the previous was "Mnogokvartirnyy Dom", and the one before that was "Многоквартирный дом" (they're all Apartment building in English). The category I've chosen for all requests was "Apartment building" from PC Browser, and "Многоквартирный дом" from mobile client (I use Russian locale).
The label "Mnogokvartirnyy Dom" for this place have always been there, maybe the reason of previous requests rejection was that I've used the same value in the "Name" field. But then, why does the comparing logic account for the Name, but not the Category? Comparing the last and new category and rejecting the request if they are equal seems to have more sense than comparing the Names. Also, the Categories are better to maintain in terms of different locales, because the variants are limited to a pre-defined list, and it's every element can have multiple localized display names, still being unique for the system.
