Not for the 1st time I have received a “Select the photos that don’t meet the criteria” for a Mural that has been painted over with another Mural.
These don’t allow you to view Street View so unable to confirm which is the original and which is the replacement.
Is the process to accept both then leave to the locals to decide whether to have the original image removed?
If you could view streetview (which would be extremely helpful in a lot of these situations), you’d probably have to remember to flag as correct the one that doesn’t show up in the streetview history, which is counter-intuitive. I tend to skip these and let others make a guess.
When requesting photos to be removed, do these go straight to Niantic instead of reviewers? That’s if anyone bothers to request the removal..
“Selecting the photos that don’t meet criteria” doesn’t do anything - it doesn’t actually flag those images for removal in any way.
The only way to have a photo removed is through the help chat or direct staff messages.
What does that review do then?
It’s solely to decide whether the new photo(s) gets accepted, not to remove the existing ones.
I haven’t even had one photo request go into waiting or even community deciding. They all got accepted instantly on the spot when I submitted them (about 15 different photo’s of all different wayspots). How this work then?
I am assuming that whilst ML cannot accept wayspot nominations, it can still automatically approve certain things like photo submissions. Who knows how Emily works though.
If you’re not certain, it’s best to skip the review.
Emily does 
I don’t understand how to review the text presented based of of an outdated mural when there are two different photos - one that matches the text but presumably has been permanently removed, and one that is presumably currently at the location but doesn’t match the text.
I feel like both meet rejection criteria.
Emily,
The biggest mystery for us which we will never solve🤔.
Considering how often ML got it wrong, I doubt even the tool itself knew what it was doing.
my 
reaction on Aaron’s suggestion to skip if not sure was for the comment i can point to that it is okay to skip. some people think that it affects their rating.
i still don’t know how to advise people to judge which completely different photos for a mural should be accepted, so i will just advise them to skip.
These are an anomaly for us. The Company says murals are an example of an exception to an iron-clad rejection reason that it calls “re-purposing,” but you won’t tell us how to facilitate the process?
There appear to be several moving parts in play, here, as the mural could change size (which might alter the natural point of discovery), title and description (might include artists’ names, official title, word play, subject matter, etc.), or photograph.
What does certainty mean, in this context? Should everybody skip these edits unless they have daily contact with the mural in question? Wouldn’t this policy slow down the review pipeline and clog it with edits? Could this lead to mural edits being resolved by the most out-of-touch reviewers, who lack access to your advice?
Shouldn’t The Company simply explain what they want us to do, and to what end?
Depending on how long the new mural has been in place you may be able to confirm with historic street view which is the current one. You could then use the report option to state that 1 is now out of date?
On a similar, what if you know the mural, you actually saw the new one being finished but it’s not close enough to nip back to. Is using the Report button an option?
