I need help to improve my POI submission
Nessuno12-PGO
Posts: 3 ✭✭
Hello everybody, this is my first post , don't hit me too hard if I did something wrong
The submission is in italian so I try to describe it a bit in English: the object is the northern city gate along the medieval walls of the village "Finalborgo" (the title is how it has been called in italian "Porta della Mezzaluna" = gate of the crescent moon, due to its shape)
In the description, the gate was shaped like an arch of triumph when the cobblestone road was built. The road and the arch were built since Margeret Theresa of Spain (this woman who was a little bit of an important figure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Theresa_of_Spain) had to cross the marquisade.
And it was finished in the year 1666, as it is carved in the arch.
In my opinion, is it possible that it was rejected because of its building date?
Help me submitting this POI since i really see no reason for it to be rejected at all.
Name: Porta della Mezzaluna
Description: La porta della mezzalune **** eretta in occasione della costruzione della via Beretta (che collegò il marchesato di Finale con Milano per permettere il passaggio della regina Margherita di Spagna) nel maggio del 1666. Funge da ingresso nord nelle mura.

Street view doesnt cover it but it is still well visible:
Thank you for your support

I don’t think the building date would have rejected this if anything it would make it a better candidate. It may be possible it was rejected for pedestrian access as it seems to be just the road itself? Didyou get an email with rejection reasons?
The only possible reason I can see for rejection would be if the cobbled road in the picture is not a pedestrian path. But to me it looks very much like a pedestrian path. This nomination should fit under historical buildings in my opinion. Google even has it listed as a monument proper: https://www.google.com/search?q=porta+della+mezzaluna
Very nice description too. Maybe add a link to an article about the gate in the supporting info if you can find one. It helps, but shouldn't be necessary in this case.
So anyway, if the road is not a car road (maybe mention that it is a pedestrian path?) I'd say try submitting it again. It can take a few tries even with proper nominations if you're unlucky and get sloppy reviewers.
If the trail(?) is completely for pedestrians (and maybe some bicycles), I think it should be passed.
Maybe you should take a better picture for your nomination—the current photo is a little bit darker in my opinion.
Thank you everybody for your tips.
Yeah, the road is actually more like a trail and it is for pedestrian use only
No reason for the rejection was given in the email
I will try to submit it again!
Id make sure to mention that it is a pedestrian pathway in your supporting info and see if that helps as well
