Hi first time trying to appeal so apologies for any errors. Nomination of ebgoeGO6x2H4n3Xbdvu1FlQ/lAhVvPxfRqty2tmhp7Y= This Mohonk Gazebo was rejected even though dozens of others have been accepted. There is no street view for hiking trail location in the Mohonk preserve. Thank you!

    Read the rejection email, you can't appeal rejected nominations.

    You can add a photosphere to Google maps for the next time, and surely remove any mention about pokestops from the nomination.

    The rejection email and the description of this post category clearly states that you cannot appeal for a rejected nomination; you can only resubmit.

    That said, if I may, I can offer some improvements to your submission:

    1. Add a photosphere on the location through the Street View app so that reviewers (especially those unfamiliar with the area) can confirm the nomination exists at that location
    2. Use the Supporting Information text to talk more about any historical or cultural significance of the gazebo to the area (maybe in relation to the trail/lake/castle). Also take out the "Pokéstop" reference, it's not relevant since the nomination may appear in other games.

    I wish you luck should you resubmit.

    I read the rejection email folks. I also see tons of appeals here including a submission section title for appeals. I assumed that this was a new process since I submitted (which it should be because the rejection is wrong and completely not in line with the many approved gazebos in this park).

    It seems that your only rejection might be because your nomination got low stars on cultural part (so it might be that reviewers didn't really wanted to reject it, but got it low score on one part that made it rejected - it's just a guess, we're not sure what trigger this rejection reason as it's not on rejection list, but it might be the case for it).

    Try nominating it again, I think it will get accepted on some next tries :)

    But also remove any mention of pokestop from text, for some reviewers it's a reason to find anything to reject nominations.

    Try wring in support text more about how people can find it in this location and how it might be historically or culturally important (like from it you can see something historical in this place etc. you will knew better :D)

    You must add something that will not give reviewers a reason to give it low score on historical/cultural part of review. I think that should be ok :) Photosphere might help if it's not easy visible on map, but looks like you didn't get rejection reason about problem with confirming it location, so it might not be necessary.

    Good luck, I hope it will be accepted next time :)

    The appeals is generally for removed wayspots not for rejected submissions. There is no ability to appeal rejections regardless of the reasons rejected currently

    honestly just submit again with maybe a little info on how the public would use he gazebo without any references to games in the supporting info and you should be fine
