Place creations impossible, all denied

For some reason all my place edit (place creations) are being labeled as “Not accepted” and I don’t see why that is. All the 10 places I recently added (mostly outdoor / monuments or playgrounds) with photos and websites are being denied within 5 minutes. Photos have geo information, website info is accurate yet it seems they are all automagically rejected and there’s no way for me to see why this is? In case of a business; it can be looked up on Google, but I can’t add it to the map. Who can help?

Hello @labert0uche

If your edits aren’t accepted,it doesn’t necessarily mean that your edit is wrong. It just means that your claims can’t be verified.

Sometimes adding a new POI with too much information gives the AI more information to verify. When adding a new POI,the main busy information is ok. More details like the photos etc should be later.

Hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi @SholaIB,
Thanks for reaching out!
Google has multiple ways to verify my contributions. I understand that adding photos can be done at a later stage, but in my case I add them immediately because they not only have the meta data (geo) information, but sometimes also a sign for the specific place.

In short: a photo with proof (geo location) + name of a sign or business + website (including address) is not enough for Google to verify my contribution?

There’s a nice little trail 5 minutes from where I live. I pass that place at least 3 times a week. (Google knows that ;-)). A landmark was added recently, I take a photo and … And trust me, I tried at least 10 times.
