Re: Nomonation rejection
I would do multiple details if they are something like the entrance with a historical date or something. I would not suggest nominating a waypoint with a panorama as the photo as most of it would be cut off. I wouldn’t nominate the whole street unless there is a sign that says it is a historical street. If that was the case you could nominate the sign. Also when I entered the street view I saw a painted utility box. This would make a good waypoint as long as it is still there and it is not already a waypoint. My wayfarer app isn’t loading so I can’t check if it is an existing waypoint for you. Hope this will help you!
Re: LDS and Niantic Games
Speaking as someone in Utah, the density of churches is high enough that distinctive names are very helpful to keep track of which church is which. There are even some cases where 2-3 church buildings are across the street or literally next to each other. When in doubt, eliminate potential ambiguity. You can imagine how bad this could be when sorting by name and getting 20 keys with the same name all next to each other.
Little free library, I don’t trust them…
I have seen a few little free libraries that looked suspicious. Week or two ago I had some time so I was doing some reviews, and I found this one little free library that was out in front of the side walk, but if you looked at the map it was just out in from of a home, you could see that the person took the pick with the house to their back. There were no parks or memorial site not even a fire department. I felt this was a little odd so I just skipped it. Now today I see a LFL along the side of a road and if you look at the map behind it what looks like a house surrounded by junkyard. I’m not sure if because I'm not able to be in that physical location im missing something or these are fakes. This last one, didnt look safe so I said no. What’s your thoughts?

Re: Wayspots for pokemon/Ingress in conflict?
No conflict at all. Simply different inclusion rules that the games have selected.
Re: Wayspots for pokemon/Ingress in conflict?
They do not conflict.
Pokestops are limited by S2 cells, while Portals are limited by proximity <20 meters from another Portal.
When considering a nomination from PoGo, while you are still on-site, look at the placement screen and make sure the blue toggle switch is turned on. This will enable you to see all the other spots in the near vicinity. You don't need to waste effort nominating stuff that is already in the Lightship database.
Re: Seasonal? Seriously?!
I have looked this place up and have potentially found the issue. Both Facebook and Google list the place as being closed (temporarily on Google, permanently on Facebook), and they haven't posted on their Facebook in over a year to suggest that they ever reopened. The information on these sites might be incorrect, but if reviewers are looking the place up and seeing that information, that may be causing them to reject the nomination (not to mention they might be looking at the wheels and thinking it could easily be moved away, but that's another matter). If this place is still open and you're local to it, you might want to let them know that Google and Facebook say that they're closed and that they're potentially losing out on customers due to this.

Re: The Best and The Worst of the Wayfarer forums
It's a shame we can't search for the most liked and the most disagreed comments as a somewhat subjective look at the best and worst... Though there is one fairly recent comment on the forum that would probably stand out with regards to lots of disagreements 🤔
I might try and dig through my contributions and see what I find, though I think you have a bit more patience than me when it comes to sifting through approximately 5000 forum contributions 😂
Re: Little free library, I don’t trust them…
basically don’t except little free library nominations in front of someone’s house or that look like there in front of someone’s house. Better to skip it or not except it what ever you choose to do.
