Doubt regarding fact finder badge

I have contributed 125 edits and all of them are approved.But still I haven’t got Expert fact finder badge and it showing only 6 edits.why this is so? :neutral_face: I have attached Screenshot of my contribution. @InaS @Deskata

@DixitaK

Could it be that you’ve made these edits rather recently? Because I know there is sometimes a delay in validating the edits and using them to assign badges. I would suggest giving it a couple of days and I guess the badge will come eventually.

In that time, you can of course add some more edits to Google Maps :blush:

Hello @DixitaK ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Please have in mind that it might take some time for your badges information to sync.

Also contributions that do not adhere to Maps User Contributed Content Policy might be removed and won’t count towards your badge progress.

When did you notice this change? Have you updated the latest version of the app? Thanks!

Hello, @DixitaK

Although you have 127# approved edits on your main badge, only 6# qualify for the fact-finder badge.

You may find some clues to that in these two threads:

Nevertheless, continue your edits and relish the activity of clean up of Maps. Badges are auxiliary and will unlock automatically.

Thanks for replay and updating me. :blush:

Actually I had received expert fact finder badge in 2019 and suddenly it disappear that’s why I asked this doubt.I have attached screenshot of 2019 highlight mail where you will get to see that badge.

Hi @DixitaK ,

I just looked at your profile and it still says only 6 edits under your fact finder badge. So waiting might not solve this.

I also looked at the same difference in my profile, and my difference is relatively a lot smaller.

Looking closely at your second screenshot tells me that you have added a high proportion of names to photos. While they for some strange reason count as edits on your main count they probably don’t count as edits under your fact finder badge. Here you need to add new places to the map and edit names, move map markers or suggest more specific categories, etc. To improve the quality of a place. Not just add text to photos.

The difference in my numbers could be explained by the number of texts I have added to pictures.

Please test and report back if this advice is correct and helps you.

Cheers

I think you are making “Photo tags” worth 3 points each and not real “Edits”.

Hello @DixitaK

Precisely, you were a master fact finder.

So many edits do not qualify now is going to remain a contradiction, unless the moderators explain the phenomenon of how and why “edits become private”.

@DixitaK

Congratulations

@MortenCopenhagen Thank you for your. :blush: But there are 15+ edits related to added places in my contribution.That’s why I asked doubt.

@C_T Thank you for reply.There are 50+ photos tags to food dishes.

Hi @DixitaK

With so edits could you please make an accurate count. The figure 50+ could actually explain you problem. If you keep the emails about your edits they might be easier to sort and count.

Cheers
