I am German maybe i dont understand everything 100% but they say this picture is not taken by me and this is abuse. That is not true since I took this picture myself.

Did you post this photo anywhere else? Like Google Maps?

Can staff confirm that the “third party source” is this request for help here? I don’t see the photo coming up anywhere else when I search on it.

6

No as far as i remember not a source would be helpful to justify the point

7

If this got rejected as third party because you posted it here to ask for help, then this appeal rejection should be overturned imo

8

Right but I appealed the decision as it was rejected …

Hi @PinkGigaRaichu
Wir können auf deutsch schreiben wenn du möchtest :hugs:
Du hast das Bild also nirgends anderes hochgeladen außer in deiner Nominierung und in diesem Post:

um um Hilfe zu bitten. Korrekt?

10

Yes correct at least i cant remember i only took this photo for wayspot submission. If you find a source ill be happy to investigate who used this photo elsewhere

11

War es eine ML Ablehnung und war da schon der Ablehnungsgrund “3. Party Foto”?
Ich frage, weil die Appeal Rückmeldung oben angehängt ist.

I got an email few minutes ago. It was accepted perhaps it was just a failure. Thank you all for commenting

[edit: i see it has been marked as the solution now =)]

Yeah, this happened to be in the past, and I posted about the 1st rejection it here in the forums, using the full main image, which can be found with an image search. Once my appeal was rejected for 3rd party photo, I posted again in the forum with proof that I took the photo from my phone, and it was reversed.

Glad that it was resolved for you!
