A large number of locations were maliciously modified name (大量的地點被惡意修改名稱)

Hello everyone, I am from Taiwan, Taipei.

In a modification of the location, I found that many location’s names in Taipei and New Taipei City were added with “世界和平”(World Peace).

This is more than just five, or six

But more than a hundred

I and other local guides have submitted changes to these locations multiple times, but none of them succeeded.

I hope I can get some help here.

And the attached location is one of the renamed locations

各位好,我是來自台灣 台北

在一次對於地點的修改中發現,在台北市以及新北市有許多的地點名稱被加上了「世界和平」

這不僅僅是只有五個,或者是六個

而是超過了上百個

我與其他在地嚮導多次提交了這些地點的修改,但是都無法成功

希望可以在此獲得一些幫助

以及在附上的地點是其中一個被改名的地點

@ErmesT Thank you very much for your reply.
I have read the article you said and also put into action

The first photo is an edit I tried to modify but not successful.

非常感謝您的回覆

我已閱讀過您所說的文章並以付諸行動。

第一章照片是我嘗試修改但並未成功

and this is another local guide tried.

而這張則是另外一位在地嚮導的嘗試

We tried to modify one by one, but the number is too large, and the changes submitted many times are not successful.

我們嘗試過一一修改,但是數量過於龐大、並且多次提交修改都無法成功

Thank you for reaching out to us @yuyanfeng , and thank you for your help @ErmesT . We will look into this issue.

Sad but true. This is also happening in Bangladesh. People are changing public place names to their own business name to gain thousands of reviews. And we can not get it back to it’s original name. :frowning:
