It may take anywhere from an hour to a few days to approve your edit, depending on the complexity of it. Q. Can anyone review? A. Yes. Anyone can review, but whether a change gets published depends on how trusted the mapper and reviewer(s) are and how sensitive the map data being changed is. Reviewing others changes will get your changes reviewed more quickly, too.
