Wishing all of you are safe and secure in your place.Due to Covid19 Pandemic situation we are not able to go outside or if then we need to take some extra cares of ourselves but I love to travel a lot and also like to contribute on map.
When I can travel around the world in this situation via Google Maps I decided to try to clean the map by reporting spam photos and any that I’m sure about which is violating Google Maps policy. But I’m facing some problems to do suggest an edit. Specially when I do suggest for duplicate places it shows me Not Applied.But I can assure that there has 2/3 place created against one place.
The screenshots given such an example, But there has been rejected my apply near about 7-9 edits only for mark as duplicate place from March to now.Even I have some pending Edits on February too.I can provide information for every individual duplicate places on Map that I have input for Edits if needed.
Thanks to all my team member’s in the Connect forum and thanks for staying Home & Safe.
I like to add one sad story of my badge that I have been congratulated for met the requirement to trusted by Google Street View.Based on my expressed interest from the street View App Via mail on 9th April still I’m not ensured my badge on my connect Profile wish I will met one of my favorite badge soonest.
BTW, these are simply observation. The last note that I can add is that Mosques have been frequently subject of abuse.
For this reason I want to remind you to the Maps User Contributed Content Policy , where you can read “We reserve the right to disable user generated contributions for individual business profiles and business categories to prevent abuse”
This said, I am tagging @Flash that, for role and competency, is indeed more appropriate than me to say the final word close this conversation
Actually no one want’s to keep his Country/City Map as a Local Guide that I believe as usual me too & I have inspired by @JanVanHaver . Okay, I have seen the post by MortenCopenhagen it’s Useful but as a local of my city I’m sure that there the map is showing the wrong information inputted by other’s maybe accidentally and it was in map because of long time or for any issue I’m useless to help my city clean on map.
I’m trying to give you more information about the places one by one.
I have trying to share for different categories here due to the limits I’m not able to share the links but may it’s not necessary because I have provided the screenshots & off course I’m really happy to say that you are very helpful.
Wish you will take proper steps for keeping the majority one according to the rules.For any question please feel free to ask. And please help me to know about my another Issue that I have mentioned in my post about my 360 Badge. Because it also demotivating me for taking more 360 Views for google maps street view.
@SolaimanHossain for a merge to be approved, you typically need to make edits first to make sure the info on all POIs is exactly the same. Due to the Covid-19 measures, this is not possible at the moment (because the suggested edits go Pending an they need to be Approved before you can move on).
At this moment almost all of my suggested edits go Pending, only the ones concerning health-related POIs get approved after a couple of days and the only ones leading to a Not Applied were suggested merges.
