I would like to know why this Photograph was not accepted onto Google Earth.

http://www.panoramio.com/photo/105751136

It is a photo of a War Memorial...you know, the things that commemorate the sacrifice others made for you!!

If this photo was taken in Arlington or any other United States War Memorial, would it have been rejected ?

If it is because of the Gun, HeeeeeeeLLLLLOOOOOOOO, it is a War Memorial!! I don't think it is there to shoot that tree!

I would like to know why you act so agressive. Because it´s a war memorial?

How do you think that a reviewer, somewhere in this world, will know that this is a war memorial when he only sees a photo. He doesn´t know anything, no title, not where, not when, not what. just a photo from a canon, which is a machine which he cannot select because of the instructions he has. So +1 for the reviewer for doing his job properly.

For the rest you are in a user forum here, with all volunteers, who do their´best to help those who respectfully ask for help (see the forum rules).  

So do you want me to ask for a third review giving some more info to our contact with the reviewing team?

There was no aggression in my post, just how you read it. I don't like having to come in here and asking why photos that should be accepted were not and you should not have to ask for a third time. I take my photos so that they are accepted first time but I have had some Country Scenery photos rejected for no reason. War Memorial, yes! some have not forgotten. Thank you...

The first sentence of your post and the photo ID was not aggressive, I give you that, 

You accuse reviewers to be biased, You attack people you don´t even know because in your eyes they have no respect for the sacrifice others made,  You expect people to know every war memorial in the world. I´m in Europe, I would not recognize Arlington as much as I don´t recognise Dumbleyung as much as you probably wouldn´t recognise Mauthausen, not far from where I am at the moment, either do I blame you not knowing that members of my family were in the Dutch resistance and my wifes grandfather was emprisoned in a German KZ-Lager. remembering is something else as knowing. 
 
I tried to explain to you that reviewers see a gun (for about two seconds), that´s it. So what that info they reject, simple as that. Google didn´t find reviewers who know every inch of the world and I doubt that, if there would be someone in the world who had that knowledge, he would go review a few thoudand photos a day for Google.

No  agresssion?

If it is because of the Gun, HeeeeeeeLLLLLOOOOOOOO, it is a War Memorial!! I don't think it is there to shoot that tree!

A very aggressive tone, with an insinuation that reviewers are biased in favour of a country.

And your "HeeeeLLLLOOOOO", what is it?  A polite pleasantry?

And your unneccessary question marks?

All very condescending.

Your photot was rejected because the main subject is a machine.  The fact that the machine is part of a war memorial doesn't change the fact that it is a machine.  Sorry.

And why do you upload this photo a second time?
Do you hope that another reviewer does not do his work properly an accept it this time?
I think this is childish behaviour!

No, the user deleted & re-uploaded it until a reviewer made a mistake.
