Nomination Stuck In Queue For 3 Years

in Report a Bug
I submitted a stop years ago on a trip to Walt Disney Word through Ingress. These man made mountains are part of a ride. They are very unique. It is not mentioned in the description that they are manmade, but when I try to edit the description, it will not allow me to do so. As of right now, this is placed in an open cell so I would like for it to go through eventually. With the distance restrictions now with Ingress nominations, I am unable to resubmit it from afar. I am also unable to upgrade this nomination to push it forward in the reviewing process. Is there a way to move it along without resubmitting?

So this is very interesting, because for several months now, many many many Florida reviewers including myself have reviewed your nomination:
The nomination began showing up in people's review queues back in the beginning of April, seemingly as part of a wider issue involving old Redacted era submissions: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/15768/seeing-more-scanner-redacted-reviews-lately
The thing about nominations at Disney World is that the turnaround times are insanely fast (and historically always have been). Without an upgrade nominations there often get approved within a matter of days, with the longest maybe taking about 2 weeks. The fact that your submission is from Redacted and lacks a supporting photo/statement has made your Hallelujah Mountains submissions stick out like a sore thumb, as people local to the area have been seeing it for months and months now. In fact, when new local reviewers review for the first time, it is generally one of the first reviews people see. We have honestly thought it was some kind of Niantic "honeypot" based on its refusal to reach a decision and the factors involved.
After this phenomenon became apparent, I ended up taking my own trip to Disney World and submitted a whole bunch of things, including submitting the Hallelujah Mountains myself as an experiment (although my picture was not nearly as nice as yours thanks to some nasty sun glare), just to see what would happen. As you can see below, my nomination is also still "in queue", except no one has seen mine, reviewers only continue to see yours. All of my other Disney World submissions came back within a couple weeks, except for this one, and another thing I submitted that is right near it:
Not only is yours trapped in voting (even though it says in queue), it seems that it is also preventing anything in the immediate area from going into voting as well, which is likely why my submissions for Hallelujah Mountains and Flaska Reclinata have not gone into voting.
I know that I can at least edit mine and upgrade it if I want to, I have just been a little scared that mine will get marked as a "Natural Feature" by dumb reviewers so I have chosen not to.
Given the thread I shared earlier and the number of people that began seeing redacted nominations at the same time this one popped up, it would definitely appear there is something wrong there that needs to be looked into. Perhaps @NianticGiffard can get this escalated, there is clear evidence something is wrong.
That is one of the basic things why Wayfarer is broken.
There are too many nomz in this park, and they block out each other. They wont get thru, only if ppl start to upgrade them.
I also reviewed your submission in April so definitely something wonky going on that it doesn’t show “In Voting”. It was a wonderful submission, I’m sorry to see it’s falling victim to the void.
I reviewed this months ago.
What's interesting is that I'm not even in Florida and live on the West Coast and I know I reviewed a submission for the floating rocks too.
I also have some submissions from 2019 in the Queue. I always thought it was intentional. Incase this is actually a bug, here is another example from my side. (Other portals in the area have made it in the queue)
@NianticDanbocat is there a chance you could look into this Hallelujah Mountains nomination?
I believe this bug report got a little lost during @NianticTintino’s on boarding and the changes with the Wayfarer 4.0 release. There is evidence of myself and other Wayfinders reviewing this nomination and it is still showing In Queue on the submitter’s side. It is also blocking other nominations from going into voting even though numerous others in the area that we’re submitted later have already been resolved.
This case has piqued a few of our interests and we would love an update if possible! Thank you!
Hello All,
Thanks for bringing this issue to the forefront. I'll take a look as this will be an opportunity for me to learn about potential nominations "stuck in the queue" and see if there's anything I can find. I'll report back as soon as I have more.
Thank you for taking a look at this one! I look forward to hearing your findings!

Just had this for review again today... hmmm.
Notice how they haven’t even filed this one under ‘Investigating’. More than three years stuck in voting, and two months after this report was filed, and it looks like they haven’t written a post-it note, yet.
Huh. I saw this one in the past week, too. It's not local for me, either.
doesnt change a thing, the circling one has left my thread "Investigating". Doesnt change a-t-h-i-n-g
Maybe post at general discussion? They seems to be responsive there compared to here
I reviewed this one recently as well.
@NianticTintino Been more than a month since your comment and reviewers are still seeing this nomination, any updates?
@NianticTintino were still seeing this nomination while reviewing and it causes other nomination close to it not to get through as well.
I’m in New England, and have seen this in review twice since it was reported here in July. It looks like a solid nomination. I cannot imagine reviewers being constantly deadlocked and unable to accept on an ongoing basis.
Two possibilities remain: This is a pre-judged honeypot and those who vote against it face penalties, or a bug prevents the system from assigning or acting upon a final disposition.
@NianticTintino start of another week. Any updates?
Thanks for reporting, @TronReborn-ING! We're looking into the nominations that are stuck either in queue/ voting: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/24498/disappearing-stuck-upload-later-issues-old-nominations
Meanwhile, we're reviewing such nominations and yours will be reviewed in time.
Many in my area reviewed this nom recently. I assumed it was a Niantic “honeypot” since the description is directly lifted from a website and thus should be graded low on “title/description.”
