My proposal was rejected within seconds. Of course there is no justification. What I noticed is that there are no photos to be seen in the overview, and editing is also not possible. Is that common?

It may be that your nominations are being looked at by Niantic and automatically rejected.
What have you been submitting?
Its a
quite common here in Germany (sadly). In the last few weeks there were some new Pokestops.
Is it possible that this is not desired?
That usually means the photos got corrupted or were not a good resolution/format when you submitted them. You say you can't see the photos on Wayfarer which also suggests this is the case. Try retaking the pictures in a lower resolution.
The pictures are made with a "real" Camera, resolution 1920*1440. I'll try crooked and blurred smartphone pic next time 😏
That will be too high resolution for Wayfarer to cope with and possibly not in a supported format either.
Hi @Armanthagor-PGO
Was your nomination successfully uploaded to the server and then rejected via email, or was your nomination refused at the point of upload?
Niantic has banned the usage of some words within titles and descriptions, and I know from personal experience that using these words can result in an automatic rejection of your nomination before it even reaches traditional voting.
It's probably your camera. I've seen other posts where SLR photo submissions were also summarily rejected upon receipt. I think I've only done one non-camera phone submission and that went through without any trouble, so it does seem to vary.
My phone produces photos that are significantly high resolution than that and they upload just fine, so I think the problem might be something else. Also, in my experience, if it's not a supported format, the app won't allow the submission to begin with.
1920*1440 is high resolution?
The first nominations that I sent maybe ten years ago with my phone had higher resolution.
Maybe I’m wrong then. I know someone else used to take photos with their fancy DSLR and they got similarly rejected and didn’t have photos appear.
Maybe it is the format?
i wonder if "nazi" pulled it for scutiny. not sure if its in your description, but its in the lead of that wiki
1920 x 1440 is a perfectly reasonable resolution.
I've submitted things that were taken with a dSLR without issues.
