(Facebook has been deleting most of my comments that contain a Google Maps URL. It declares them a violation of Community Standards. But you can still use Google Maps if you copy&paste the GPS coordinates into the search field.)
I answered Mark Lambert's question as to why his commented got deleted by Facebook.
A comment on Joseph Tuch Santucci's post:At least a human being was willing to deal with your problem. Since I used to be careful in my comments to note the source of information I got off the web with a URL, a lot of my comments had URLs. Especially to Google Maps and the Library of Congress. Now when I include a URL it gets deleted as spam. So few people acknowledge their source of info that the Facebook robot thinks the only reason you would use a URL is self-promotion. Every time they delete a comment, I disagree. Then they explain that they are short staffed because of COVID-19 and a human won't review it but it should help improve their algorithm. It hasn't. Just today I posted a Sanborn Map without the LoC reference because I didn't want to risk the comment being deleted.
The following is in common with all of these deletions.

Yes. Another MWRD photo gives us another view of the plant that was on both sides of Western Avenue.Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 6:22 PM
So we are looking at PAL's North Yard.

There used to be six railroads through this junction. Today we have the NS/NKP going north/south and the IHB going east/west.
This image [which I no longer have because I posted it.] is from a 1939 aerial map.
To the west of today's NKP tracks were tracks shared ty the Erie and C&O. To the west of those tracks was the Monon. So we had four north/south railroads.
To the north of the IHB tracks were the Michigan Central tracks.
If Monon and MC were also double tracked, that would be 4 x 6 = 24 diamonds. At least none of the tracks were curved like they were in the 21st Street Crossing.
And it appears that Homan Ave. and Willow Ct. were at grade level while Sibley St. was elevated.

Do you have photos of what the river looks like down by the Falls of Ohio visitor center when the river is running this high? When I visited it, it was at a more normal level.

Notice that it doesn't give me the id of the post from which this was deleted. Fortunately, I remember that it was this one: https://www.facebook.com/AbandonedROWMap/posts/252837059961446
The above is the May 24 deletion. I could not even access the May 25 complaint.

I wasn't even able to access the second complaint! According to the image, it was a map comment. And that complaint never showed up in my notifications! I have to remember to grab a screenshot of the initial alert.

I was responding to someone who was asking for a location, but I can't remember which post this was on. They are still claiming that they can't contact my about my disagreements because of Covid-19.
