Location edits?

Yes. I had a few today while reviewing and if I click a few times it actually turns out they are stacked.

Google Maps is not the only source of imagery.

I’ve submitted nominations where the supporting message said something like “GMaps is out of date, use Bing maps” and included a link to the sat or street view.

So, when reviewing, and can’t figure something out, sometimes I’ll check other sources to see if maybe they are more up to date.

There will be 2 dots, but so close to one another that they look like one. Never sure why they have location edits, but oh well, at least those are easy :laughing:

How come? What is the benefit?

Because it wasn’t right.

Ah I see, but those aren’t even up to date. They work off Google maps right?

@Glawhantojar, in the event that consensus cannot be reached, will our Wayfinder Rating drop?

I assumed that it will affect the count of Nomination Accepted.

I am not 100% sure about that, but I suspect it would affect your agreement percentage given you voted on something that never reached the resolution that you voted on. If you picked “unable to verify location” and it came up as no consensus then maybe you get an agreement?

Either way, one review won’t make or break your rating so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

I get SO many of these

I recently tracked 50 reviews and half of them were edits, which confirmed my “feeling” of getting tonnes of edits

The reviewer is shown the current location (not the original location), and any submitted location edits.

Probably: a location was wrong - someone submitted an edit - then someone got help chat to fix it - by the time the edit gets to reviewers: current location = edit location.

I still have text edits outstanding from April 2023 - I assume some location edits are outstanding that long too. Plenty of time for someone else to notice and contact help, or the edit submitter to give up waiting and contact help themselves.

You’d think that when help personnel fix something, they’d remove all outstanding in queue. But no. They don’t.
