Provide clarification for "AO Edited" checkmark#384

Hi team, I have noticed some Places have a header stating “AO Edited”, with a blue checkmark next to it. Could you please explain what this means and what’s the criteria for a Place to have it?

I assumed maybe it was just those of a higher quality, but out of recent Places of the Day (which I also assume are chosen because of good quality), this first set doesn’t have the mark, while the second set does:

WITH (most recent Gastro Obscura ones seem to have it)

I believe that just means that AO staff has edited the text of the article. Although, I’ve had a few articles that were edited with no badge. It usually shows up when the edits are significant, though.
