Really inaccurate models

[Est0nian]

Hi

Why do models that are totally inaccurate get accepted for Google
Earth, they don't add anything to the city if they are not accurate at
all? Here are some examples:

Niguliste church by =LiNK=
Model: http://i46.tinypic.com/2uz9fvd.png
Actual: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/et/b/b9/Niguliste_kirik_2009.jpg

I know he is trying to help model the city but these models are not
adding anything to it, if tried to talk to the guy but he only speaks
Russian. I think something should be done, the models are accpeted to
Earth too easily. Here are a few more:

Most of his models are just using a repeating texture on every side. I
know standars shouldn't be too high but this just too low, it's quite
sad.

Here are more models that were easily accepted:

Oh and I forgot, here's the worst of them all, a 3D model that should
represent the building of the prime minister of Estonia, look at this:

WHY do models like this get accepted? Why? This just embarassing for
me as a native of Tallinn.

Hi,

If you believe you have found a model that does not meet our
acceptance criteria (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwh/
acceptance_criteria.html), post its 3D Warehouse link here and we'll
take another look. That said, it's a little hard to tell from your
screenshots but it looks to me as though the models you've referenced
are probably okay; they're phototextured, and in an area where the
Google Earth imagery isn't great we accept tiled roof textures. You
can always create a better model of the building and submit it
instead.

But, really? A model like this:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=2d1c12675762b94960450702aaf3ed32&prevstart=0
gets accpeted for GE? That's as good as if I made a model like that of
the Capitol building and it would get accepted...

[SketchUp Guide Allison]

Yes. It is correctly geolocated, and uses phototextures. The
significance of the building isn't a factor in determining how good a
model has to be, in order to be accepted. Feel free to build a better
model and submit it instead.

Well I am currently making a model of the presidential palace in
Estonia, but a good model takes time unlike the ones made by this guy.
He makes tons of these poor models in no time.

Hi,
I have reported this model as duplicate and misplaced (original
correctly 200m away , only look at it in GE!)
many times in the last year, but nothing happenend, maybe n NOW!
