Hello @karine26061983

I see others are helping in your other thread, but o was curious what you mean by ‘account action’?

The “Noticeboard” looks eligible but the image is a “Third Party Image”. You must take your own photos to be used with Wayfarer…

As we know from other threads, the use of third-party images doesn’t cause wayspots to be removed.

It appears that there is no actual POI at 46.3424299, 6.0539721

The second coordinate has no streetview.

There’s third party images of an object that exists, and then there’s taking the first thing that comes up in a Google search for “wooden information board” in French, which is what this image is, and nominating it where one doesn’t exist. This is the latter, not the former.

This is a submission at an incorrect location using a third-party image. We are in agreement on that.

The incorrect location/fake submission will be the problem - had this been located at the actual location of the POI using a third-party image, evidence from other removal appeals strongly indicates it would not have been removed.

My comment was not meant as a “This is why it was removed” more a “If you decide to continue nominating please note…” and an assumption that other nominations are likely to be the same.

Probably should have explained it better in the first place…
