@NoelTan I had a similar situation at Spittlertorzwinger in Nürnberg. Somebody had created another pin with the title “Spittle Gate Zwinger” with only one review and two or three photos. The original pin had plenty of reviews and photos. It took me at least three refused attempts and several weeks to get it fixed. Finally, I believe this sequence did work:

  1. Move one of the pins, so the geographical position matches exactly with the other.
  2. Change the street, city address so, that both match exactly too.
  3. Report the wrong pin as duplicate by specifying the original one.

Perform each step separately and wait until approval, before doing the next.

Hope it heps.

Hello @WilfriedB ,

Thank you for your input on this.

@NoelTan after suggesting edits, hold the mails you’ll receive from automated system.

Keep me posted if it is pending or not applied within two weeks.

Thx @deepakjhic how do I check the status of the edit request?

It is mentioned in the email notification you receive: Pending (in review), Approved or Rejevted (Could not verify). It can also be found in your list of edits. Or you can just check if the edits have been implemented after a few days.

@deepakjhic asked you to hold the emails (keep screenshots) because he can then help you better if needed.

Cheers

Morten

You can check it on your Google Maps profile under the edits tab. Hold the emails you’ll receive.

@MortenCopenhagen and @NoelTan I don’t remember, having always received a mail “Could not verify”. In most cases, it was quietly refused and I found that only under My Contributions → Edits.

@WilfriedB

You are correct. The “Could not verify (rejected)” message is not communicated via email. This can only be found in your list of edit contributions.

I don’t know if this is due to a wish not to discourage the volunteers with negative messages, or you could conclude that no email notification = probably not approved.

Pending (In review) also results in an e-mail notification. And when approved you get one more notification via email.

Cheers

Morten
