Nomination improvement request for park sign board.
Hello everyone.
I've spent two upgrades on this wayspot, and have been very disappointed it hasn't gone through as it's been such a massive time investment.
The first rejection was due to not being able to confirm it was a real location.
So I made a geosphere for it.
The second rejection has been on that it's a low quality photo.
I strongly consider entrance park sign boards eligible.
I definitely recognise the description can be improved, however it seems this is mainly rejected on the photo.
The sign is right up against a fence and is very high up. I'm not sure how this would be improved as I can't think of a way to make it more photogenic.
Any suggestions on improving the photo would be welcome or any other tips to get this through.
Thank you for your time.

Apologies, I don't know why this was posted twice. I swear I only clicked submit once.
If it is really dear to your heart, I'd recommend cleaning the sign with a wet towelette.
I did think of that, but the sign is massive and too high up. :)
Please, for any future nomination use properly the description and supporting info fields. In this case it's almost screaming "Reject me!!!"
Please go into more detail.
I understand the description is lacking as was over confident that park entrance signs are just a given, however this wasn't rejected for that basis, it was due to the photo.
What else would I put apart from the surroundings picture and brief eligibility of it?
I agree the description was lacking, as I was over confident that park entrance signs are a given.
However would like to know in more detail what you suggest for info supporting fields other than what I provided on the second attempt.
Remove these words: Filthy, wayspot, other, accepted, dismiss, unfair, 100% acceptable.
Create a description telling us why that's a real good nomination, don't compare to anything else, don't beg.
Okay thanks, I have a clear picture of what shouldn’t of been added.
If you can go into detail of what a description telling you why it’s a good wayspot, that would be super appreciated!
Would it be more obvious stuff that it’s a park sign, and that parks are used for socialising and exercise?
So there is already one entrance accepted, correct me if im wrong but isnt there a rule about multiple park entrance signs? And i agree with the description. If i saw a terrible description like you wrote i would more than likely reject it on that
The park has a total of 5 entrance signs, 3 have been already made into wayspots, the forth is right next to one that has gone through, so it would be too near to submit.
The fifth is at the other end of the park, which is the one I've been trying to make into a wayspot.
From what I've searched after your comment, multiple park signs are allowed as long as they aren't close together.
One a small park like this, they are "close together", hence my vote of "duplicate" for this submission today.
Ah, thanks for letting me know @sogNinjaman-ING Any tips to make the photo or submission less similar to the others that have been accepted and persuade you otherwise?

Hey folks,
There are a couple of considerations to make here, but in general I stand by my previous guidance: Wayspots should not be "as many locations as possible but rather unique, interesting, artistic or notable local hotspots where people could gather or learn or discover something about their community.
In order for multiple entrances to the same park to be considered eligible, they would need to be either unique and differentiate-able from one another or far enough from one another to truly be independent from one another. The same sign at two different sides of a small park would not be far or unique enough to be considered separate Wayspots.
I honestly wish they gave a break down thought out answer to criteria like that all the time.
The sign looks old, beat up, and dirty. If they were to put up a fresh, new sign, maybe that could boost the likelihood of a nomination getting accepted.
