For example, https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/2381617, tracks in the bush often aren't visible from imagery, so it needs a ground survey to add them.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/2684418 a street library won't be visible on aerial imagery, you either need to confirm on the ground or use street level imagery. If it's unable to be verified remotely best to leave it open for someone on the ground to verify it. Though I realise it's not always easy and at some point it makes sense to close the note as unactionable. StreetComplete asks about open notes.
