Help with nomination

Hi everyone, I’ve had a pokestop nomination rejected a couple of times now but I don’t know what I keep getting wrong. I’ve followed the criteria I’m not sure what the issue is. Can anyone help me with any suggestions please? There are a number of mail boxes over the city that have been pokestops so I’m not sure what I’m missing here.

Thanks everyone!

    This isn't a George VI postbox, it's a Scottish Crown postbox. The Crown is used instead of the ER II cypher. See this article for more details. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillar_Box_War

    There are disagreements about whether any kind of UK postboxes should be valid, but the general consensus from both sides of that argument is that any postboxes installed during the reign of Elizabeth are not eligible. This includes both the ones bearing her cypher and the ones (like this one) bearing the Scottish Crown.

    I agree with the above, but also if you are to submit other stuff in the future, don't put "this is not to be confused" statement in the description. You can put that in the supporting info, as that's where it should be.


    Think of the description as describing the object for when people see it in the game, while the supporting information is for assisting in getting it accepted by the wayfarer community.

    The title is also super-generic. Try making it something like "Twaddle Village Post Box" or "Twaddle Rd Post Box"

    Thank you all for your advice, I really appreciate it! I’ll keep the comments in mind for any future submissions I make! 👍🏻

    A red postbox - not eligible unless it is a Queen Victoria postbox. These days, an automatic 1* rejection from the great majority of reviewers. Yes - I know there are lots in the system already, but's thats because of a mix of things that made the community think they were ok / pressurised them into accepting these (stands back and looks at open can of worms). I always see a couple of postboxeds in my review queue each day, because people think "but that one is a already a Waypoint". All of them get a 1*.

    This one is not acceptable. You've called it q grvi postbox and say not to be confused with a gr post box, but you don't appear to have even looked at the post box as its not either. It's a Scottish version of the eiir ones which are not acceptable. The acceptbale ones are, victorian, Edward ones and King George ones
