Why? Help

Hi,

I have a problem. When I change something in maps for ex. change a category or name of the place is immediately rejected. And I don't know why. My changes are correct. For ex. I changed a category of theatre from opera to theatre, but it says it is wrong and it wasn't only this one time. Can you tell my why? Screenshot_2017-11-29-19-46-50.png

Re: Why? Help

Google never gives specific reasons, and not even generic (general)  reasons, why they reject a particular edit request.

 

As a private corporation allowing free use of their product with carefully written Terms & Conditions, I suppose they have the right to behave this way so they can minimize the amount of spam, negligent  and fraudulent entries that are published to their Maps.

I share your concerns @ziemniak. I've experienced same and I'm concerned. Its quite discouraging.

 

If it even pends before rejection, that will be better.

They should do if someone have a lot of good corrects and high level he is being check by real live person. It is sad when someone try to help and his corrects are rejected.
