Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”?

Local Guides submit edits on Google Maps to ensure their communities are accurately represented. After you add an edit to Google Maps, it’s reviewed by either local operators, an automated system, or both to ensure the information is accurate and follows our guidelines.

 

If your edit is Pending, that means we’re still reviewing it. We may need additional information to verify that your edit is accurate. It may take some time for us to gather that information and for fellow Local Guides to use the Check the facts feature on Google Maps to confirm the information you shared is correct.

 

If your edit is Not Applied, that means we were unable to confidently verify the information you shared at this time.

 

We hope this doesn’t discourage you from being an active Local Guide. We appreciate all of your efforts to help make the world easier to navigate for millions of people around the world.

Is your client's business claimed through Google My Business?  If so, you would want to ask for support in those forums.  If not, you might consider adding it there.

 I understand that there needs to be a verification process, but I'm sceptical of how well it is being applied. Near my house there's a coffee shop that's been around for a few years. Before that it was a shop for a Pest control service. The coffee shop is on Google Maps, and has pictures frof myself and others showing its clearly on that corner. I'm sure Street view shows it too. However the pest control place is still appearing in Google Maps with the same address! I've suggested an edit twice to mark it as closed and it has been rejected both times as there's apparentlyn insufficient evidence. Any manual reviewer should spot that immediately, if it's getting rejected by an automated process, then perhaps it needs to consider things like new businesses being opened at the same address as supporting evidence, or at least make it worthy of manual review. 

What do you guys think?

Level 10

I  might be stubborn and risking credibility before Google's AI but I still try (and get denied) on several POI's. Some of them appear to be claimed, but I don't know how some totally wrong info appears in the description as if it is claimed by someone ill-intended.

I.e.

https://goo.gl/maps/rSWnTxVuEFw  - it is 13th century Catholic church ( wiki article link https://goo.gl/NB5fuW ) and the description says "Monumental, medieval-style, Serbian Orthodox church constructed from 1931-1940."

A Google (bot) is pulling that inaccurate description from the (inaccurate) description on the Almy photo site. This is not something a user can edit through Maps.  Instead, post a message on this Google My Business (GMB) forum. You will need to sign in with your Google address. To create a new message click on the pink + sign at the bottom right of the page.

 

Explain that you are not the GMB account holder, but the listing is pulling the description for St. Mark's Church from an inaccurate source (mention 13th century, etc, as you have in your message here) and ask if they could kindly correct it (with the source and URL that you mentioned).  Of course, be sure to include all the relevant URLs to the listing itself, and to both the inaccurate and accurate sources.  The friendly experts at GMB will respond and notify you when the correction has been made.

 

BTW, the link in your message (above) for St Mark's Church is malformed and doesn't work.  The link: https://goo.gl/maps/rSWnTxVuEFw is correct, but is somehow broken along the way. You can edit your message, delete the broken URL and replace it with a "fresh" one.

@AnjanShetty,

>> My edit is showing Approved and place creation but when I search that place on map I can't find that place 

Hi AnjanShetty,

 

1. How long ago did you make the edit? 

 

2. Does the place show up when you click on the link in the email Google sent you advising that the place had been added?

 

Google Search is a separate product than Maps, and it can take up to a week for an addition to be searchable across all Google products.

Level 6

Sorry, but it definitely discourages me to contribute to the Maps as I tried numerous times to correct information, supplied a link to the government's official map system for the name references, asked about 10 times to update the earthview as it's 3 years old and half of the streets in our newly develped area are non existent. 

 

Everything goes into a black hole. Zero feedback and I see after a while that my change is not applied.

 

And you hope this won't discourage me?

Thanks for your explanation, but frankly I still not understand how this system works...

To me it happens that I sometimes sent you just one photo for registering a missing place and you approved in two seconds, with no other proof.

Other times, I go out of my way to send you photos, screenshots of web pages, scanned cards from the shop itself to change a trivial issue like opening hours and it takes you ages to approve or you disapprove it the moment you receive it!

On one particular case, you notified me that my changes were approved, were published, only to be returned to the previous status, with no explanation!

After a while you know it grows very disappointing and frustrating!

@Nadia_L, Google has it's own sources to use for verification, please don't provide others.  When you list a site you cast doubt on your edit, as your edit needs to come from your own pesonal knowledge, not taken from another site.  Your edit might have to be rejected for possible copyright infringement when that happens.  Google has recent imagery if you check the historical imagery in Google Earth, it's just not good enough to be designated as the default imagery.  But road edits are done by hand in another tool, you will need to allow time for them to reach the top of the queue, be verified, and be inputted.

@Sarkie, your editing history does give you status.  But how many photos you posted does not give you editing trust status.  As you make more and more good edits you'll gain more trust in the same type of edit.  It's not going to be instantaneous; a spammer could then take advantage if it was simply to get trust.  Please read over my other comments in this thread to learn more.

@Redouane, there are no major changes, edits also went into pending and could be denied in Map Maker.

 

And transit features had editing turned off completely in Map Maker.  It is only recently that you can suggest changes to them.  If the changes don't match what the transit authority for your area is stating, they will not normally be processed.  It's not possible to have transit maps and schedules if the stations and stops are not placed where the transit autority states they are located.  It is the transit authority that has control of those features; if they state that a station or stop has a certain name then Google must assume it has that name... they are the naming authority for those features.

@curreir, edits first are checked by an algorithm that can make a decision about most edits.  If it's unable to make a decision then the edit is flagged for human review.  That is the difference between a quick decision and one that takes time; simply whether or not the algorithm could decide on it's own.

 

From what you write it seems you are assuming photos are the sole thing Google uses to approve your edits.  The are just one of hundreds of things considered, and if it is the algorithms then it wouldn't consider your photos at all; algorithms are not sophisticated enough to interpret photos.  Photos would only be used if the decsion becomes a human decision, and even then it will just be one of many factors considered.  In both cases, though, your photos will be added to the feature if published.

 

You do not need to do things like screenshot the place's own website; Googler's will check that on their own if the review is sent for human review.  Reading things like cards and photos to change the hours is going to take time; that will have to go to a human.

 

Everyone just wait for some of their edits to be approved, this is normal, you can just let that process continue and move on to other features.

@Flash

Thanks for trying to explain this but it's still doesn't make sense to me.

1. If Google has it's own sources of information, why it asks people to participate and contribute? I've sent the correction for one street name around 10 times, provided a link to an open GIS system from our local council to verify this is a correct name and all the times this is being rejected. What other source you have which is more reliable than the geniune source I provided? And yes, I do make changes from my personal knowledge, I walk there every day! And I prodive the link after the original change is dismissed. If Google has certain rules why not to tell contributors about those rules? 

2. Why nearmap has decent photos and Google doesnt? It's not possible to draw any new streets as the earth photo is so old and you can't trace anything. And to add to this, people already live on the streets that are not shown on the map!

3. What copyright issues can be with the official street names approved by GNB (Geographic Name Board) in Australia? Are you kidding me?

 

To be honest, if you work for Google you'd rather raise this topic with the relevant team and help us to solve this.

I had this hope when I posted this. But it fades away now. 

 

Cheers.

Level 8

@Flash, thank you for your answer.

As I know nothing of algorithms I fail to understand how can an algorithm decide if a new shop is opened in my neighborhood in Barcelona or closed, based only on me saying so and providing a photo and nothing else.

Secondly, I spoke of rejecting an edit on the very moment it is submitted as opposed to not be approved after some person rejects it, which at least has some logic to it...

Algorithms seem to work in mysterious ways! 😊🙄

@Nadia_L hats off to you! I wouldn't go to the city council for a street name, even if it was for my own shop! You are a very patient person! 🌻👍

Connect Moderator

@Nadia_L, the map is made up of many sources if info, all of which do make significant contributions.  Google asks people to be one of those sources to enhance the map.  But the map you do see is not just from contributions, it's from many sources.

 

Additionally while there might be many sources that Google can use, many of those aren't pushing data to Google every time there is a change.  You are the one notifying Google that there is a change, which they can then confirm via one of their partners (so they "pull" the change based on your edit since the change isn't "pushed" to them).

 

If you walk the place every day then the link to a GIS is not necessary.  Adding it just calls your edit into question.

 

It might be that the county GIS is what Google uses to verify the edit.  There's a difference between you providing your personal knowledge and them using the county GIS to verify it, which doesn't have any copyright violations involved; as opposed to you using the county GIS system as your source, which does have copyright connotations.  With regards to it being an "open" system, I have very rarely seen a completely open system.  From my experience when I used to approve edits the sources quoted are acceptable sources perhaps once in several hundred times; Google is not going to spend the time pouring through the terms of service and copyright statements of each source to find the occasional one that's usable; instead the rule is to just make the edits from your own knowledge and let Google worry about the confimation.

 

Regarding nearmap and Google's photos, I'll repeat again that you can find an up to date photo in Google Earth.  The most recent photo is not necessarily the best photo; default imagery has to meet certain criteria.

 

Please read over the GNB copyright statement at http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/copyright.  To use their data you must do a minimum of seven different things.  You aren't doing any of them, so you are already in violation of copryright!  For Google to think of using the data it must do all seven, which just isn't feasible, as one of them is to link to the CC license, which would make it hard for Google to distinguish what is not covered by the CC license.

 

(In reality you didn't break copyright if you did gather the information yourself, but if that's the case then the quote of the GNB site is not needed; it just makes it very likely that you used that as your source instead of personal knowledge.  Perhaps you woud never do that, but tens of thousands of people do not understand copyright any more than you do and do contribute what they find on such sites.  That's a legal mess Google does not want to enter into, thus the rules of personal knowledge only.)

 

It's possible that Google has the rights to use the GNB data, but that would be under a separate license and they woudl use the data directly.  They can't take it from users, as you've just proven that users won't carefully read the copyright and make sure they've followed it.

 

Simply make your suggestion and then wait for Google to confirm it.  Don't keep submtting it, that just clogged up the review system for all; when you have complaints about the length of time reviews are taking please remember that by not making clean edits without unasked for extneral links and without duplicates is what is going to speed up the wait for reviews.

@curreir, the algorithms will use a lot of different data to help them make their decisions.  I'm sure you've heard that Artificial Intelligence is used by Google; this is one of the ways.

 

The algorithms will combine things like other mentions of the place ont he web, other requests to add the place by other people, your past edit history, the spam history of the sort of place you're adding, the editing history in the area you're mapping, and many other triggers to make a decision.

 

And yes, those algorithms will also make the decision to deny an edit based on the same information.  It could be a rule you broke without knowing it, it could be simply that lots of spam has been proposed at the location you're editing, it could be that there's bad information on the web that's being used when confirming your edit, or even no information at all.  And it can be just because no algorithm is perfect and there thus will be some mistakes, just has no human is perfect and thus some of the edits that make it to them will also have mistakes when reviewed.

Woah, well howdy do friends and esteemed mappers!

 

After a lengthy slumber, I've decided to venture back into Local Guides Connect and see how everything is, and I couldn't help but notice an excerpt from my infamous Forever Not Applied thread as the cover photo of this help article right in front of my eyes on the front page. At least Seven Hills gets some love from Local Guides. Oh golly, looks like this post has been opened up and this whole can of worms is back on the plate. Well one thing is, I do appreciate the language of the re-explained post above. It's a little less objective and a bit more pleasant. So kudos.

 

I've been hounding down on all the various 'Forever Not Applied' variants and it looks like we're at the same obliviousness as we go on a year after that whole thing happened. I respect and continue to be impressed at all the explanations, the mapping prowess of colleagues such as @MapWrangler@LucioV@JeroenM and many others that I probably won't tag everyone in; my, how you've all grown and developed all this time! Also also, @VlLo you can bet that when you reach Level 10, I'll be cheerin' for ya!

 

Hello @Nadia_L, it's great to have a local guide in the area, I'm just a little south from where you are, right on the train line. As someone who frequents the new Marsden Park areas, it's a little comedic that often I'd hang out with my friends at the new Greenway Shopping Centre (Pho and Kebabs are our two biggest favourite foods) then hang out at their place in Stonecutters Ridge, with both places not shown on satellite view makes me feel I'm sleeping on nothing at all!

You mentioned Nearmap, and that was the first time I've heard about it. Digging into it, I'm thoroughly impressed with its capabilities and resources! The quality, the crispness, the fact that they update the satellite imagery of urban centres up to six times a year, just woah. But dang, I definitely understand your frustration when your own home isn't on the map, yeah I've been there. At one point, even my home address was not properly recognised by Google Maps (apartment with hyphenated range address), especially when it came to autofilling forms and only being able to select pre-fills... that was a nightmare.

 

 

Unfortunately, even on Google Earth DigitalGlobe data doesn't even come close to what Nearmap currently has.

Caption: The most recent satellite image of Marsden Park licensed to Google Earth via DigitalGlobe. This was taken in December 2017.Caption: The most recent satellite image of Marsden Park licensed to Google Earth via DigitalGlobe. This was taken in December 2017.

To answer your question Nadia, roads are a touchy subject to be edited. Although you're providing the most current and accurate of edits, Maps could be citing datasets of these roads or street names from other sources, namely the GNB and periodically refreshing when updated datasets (such as satellite imagery and Street View coverage) are implemented within Google Maps' systems. Once there is a substantial amount of data that can be derived (Satellite, Street View, GNB, etc), Google Maps will update as much as it can and also consider user input to improve such data.

I read something in this Google Earth FAQ that I thought might interest you slightly though.

 

Can I recommend an area for an imagery refresh?

Yes. You can use our Feedback tool within the Earth menu to recommend an area for an imagery refresh. Please be sure your area of interest is in the center of your screenshot when submitting your feedback and use the text “I would like to recommend an imagery refresh” in the feedback window.


We compile these requests to help us develop our imagery plans, as user interest is very important in determining which areas we want to refresh and how often. Please keep in mind that the imagery collection and update processes can take several months to years and that these refreshes are done on a best effort basis.

I don't know when they're going to update satellite imagery for the area, but rest assured I've done my part in recommending the area for a satellite imagery refresh. As someone who's also mapped around the Harrington Park/Oran Park area, it's crazy when the Street View image is still a two-laned road when it's been widened to six.

It might not be much help, but it's the least I could do. Hope you get the help that you need soon enough!

Hello @MiniKapoor,

Thanks for reaching out.

 

It takes some time to review the sugested edits, that is why they might apear as Pending. On the other hand if the status apears as Not aplied that means we were unable to confidently verify the information you shared at this time.

 

In the Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”? article you can learn more about that. Please note tha I've moved your post there, because it is not actualy an idea.
