Recently I added some places or edit some places. But those are not applied. I want to know what happened with those? How can I solve this problem. Added places are those where I live in or I have visited. Please help me.

Hello @Monabber
A very warm welcome to connect & thanks for reaching here for a solution 🙂
In my personal case, I have get approval of adding a new place or edits even after several months, that's a norm for edits to take that much longer time, I personally know local guides who gets approval even after a year long time. If you wish to know the mechanism behind, please read this post as mentioned by @iDepp too.
Also, you have to keep an eye in your contributions section, if it says 'pending' you have to just wait patiently & if it says 'not applied' about your edit, you may try adding it another time, by providing much detailed information about the place. Such as website address, phone number, opening hours.
I know it hurts when you see your edits go to pending or not applied status. But, believe me this is the reason, where your happiness of getting approved edits, will become double 😉
Hope I manage to answer your question, feel free to ask any further clarifications 🙂
Best Regards

Hello, @Monabber
This is a phenomenon that happens all the time to everybody. The reason is it's an integral part of the system that does a lot automatically and requires huge amount of A/B testing. As a result, even totally sane edits don't get applied from time to time.
Nobody knows the algoritm in detail and that's good, because then the system can't be hacked. There are however known factors that can help you with your future contributions. What helps is:
Best of luck and keep up the good work!

I have exactly the same problem and even though I add all the detail, including a link to the website which confirms the details, new place created is Not applied.
