When reviewing a location edit, if no correct option exists but you find the precise location, what should reviewers do? First, naturally, check “Could not find the correct location” and submit the review. Afterwards, they can request the correct location be edited via the help chat. Let’s say it’s then placed correctly. But does the submitted location edit disappear? If it still reaches other reviewers afterwards, it would only appear to be an attempt to move it from the correct location to an incorrect one—an abuse. However, the person who submitted the location edit can only move it by 10 meters, so they were just sending a closer location in good faith. Such cases occasionally come in. It’s truly perplexing.
Hi @CrownFeather
If I review location edits I do it like this:
A) One point is clearly better than the other / exactly on the item → choose that point
B) Both points don’t match the POI → choose couldn’t find correct location
So in your first scenario I’d go with B and in your second with A.
The “good faith” submitter would get their edit rejected and hopefully find their way to the forum to learn about the helpchat option.

Thanks for your reply.
I’ll wait, hoping the sender will realize the correct method.
