 * When a contributor ads a location but misses details i.e county, and i want to
   edit this, is it possible without creating a new location, i.e original was **
   london hotel**, after i edit it becomes **london hotel-2** and i end up with 
   two london hotel loactions

 * first, I tried to edit an existing location and changes the location details 
   but upon saving the url or permalinks didn’t change e.g. remains as /london-hotel
 * could it be that a new location with the same name added which resulted to -2?

 * basically someone added an event but left out the county so the map did not show
   nor the google calendar . I then edited event to add location county but to do
   this you have to clear entered details and re enter all location details. after
   doing this it created the second location rather than update excisting location

 * if you’re creating a new location, then it’s inevitable, but you can edit the
   original location in the admin area.

 * i was editing in admin, it would not allow me to just add the missing county,
   i had to clear location and re enter all details, then it created new location
   2

 * It sounds like what you trying to do is not really edit the second location, 
   but delete and just use the original?
 * In that case, you might be better off assigning the original location to new 
   events, then delete the duplicate.

 * In admin i have event pending, i click edit to view event and see location is
   missing the COUNTY. It will not allow me to just add county i have to clear location
   then re enter, it then creates this new ( altered) location as location 2.
 * So is that normal not being able to edit location by just adding one field?

 * hmm, are you editing the location using Events > Locations > choose a location
   then edit OR you are editing the location directly when editing an event?

 * You need to edit the location itself.
