Provide explanation why a place is a duplicate

I can't fix a map issue where someone has created a place for something that doesn't exist (it's actually another place that is already on the map) as my duplicate report gets denied.

If I could provide an explanation when reporting then this could be fixed. 

Seems a simple thing to allow.

Hi @Theatreperson

 

It is unlikely that Google will implement your suggestion because it would be too useful/helpful for spammers. Fighting spam is for Google probably more important than keeping the volunteers happy. 

 

You will need to master the difficult skill of merging places.

 

You could take a look at my notes on Merge Workflow.

Hi @Theatreperson,

 

We would like to thank you for your idea, but we did not manage to implement it in time. According to our Idea Exchange policies we are going to close it.

 

Local Guides can still vote and we can come back to this Idea at a later point.
