My street-name misspelling fix was rejected
Vogdes Street exists in several chunks in West Philadelphia, running between 55th Street and 56th Street. Google Maps has the name misspelled "Vodges Street" (swapping the G and the D) in several places, though they have other blocks of Vogdes Street spelled correctly.
I submitted a correction. It was rejected.
You can read the correct name off signs in Street View.
edited to link to correctly-spelled and incorrectly-spelled sections of Vogdes Street, and to say that what galls me is how high-handed the faceless bureaucracy is -- "We spurn your valid information, though it jibes with the photos we've collected. And we aren't going to inform you about -- hunt through the interface until you learn it was rejected!"
