It’s come up before a few times (e.g. [here](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/place-i-made-is-found-in-universal-search-but-when-selected-shows-as-null/10152) and [here](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/india-inaturalist-world-tour/5010/6)).  
Since Middlesex is admin level 2, it can only be edited by staff.
