Can someone explain this to me. I know it has to have been answered at least a dozen times. But in scattered post. I can't seem to find it all put together somewhere that make some sense.
A. Total Nominations Reviewed
Agreements
B. Nominations Accepted
C. Nominations Rejected
D. Nominations Duplicated
If I am understanding this right. By totaling "B" through "D" it should = "A" (if they have completed the community review)
If that is correct where does the % come into play. ?
Then is there an incentive for a bonus area. If so where are we most needed at this time?
I must apologize in advance for being a little dense in all of this but I am wanting to do this right and enjoy it at the same time.

There will be times where your assessment of a wayspot does not fall in line with how the rest of the community voted. You may approve a spot, but everyone else said no. Those reviews of yours will not be counted underneath the Agreements section.
So really, there is a hidden number for your account “Non-Agreements.” The number for A would be the Agreements number plus the Non-Agreements number.
If you total up the upgrades you've earned, multiply by 100 and then add the progress you have towards your next upgrade you will have your total Agreements count. And it will be less than A because of "disagreements" plus nominations that are still in review.
Thanks guys this helps alot. 👍
There are actually two invisible numbers. As mentioned above, the first one is reviews where you disagreed with the community assessment. The second one is things that you have reviewed that haven't yet reached a consensus. The time that it takes for reviews to reach consensus can be highly variable, and it also seems to change over time as Niantic makes changes to Wayfarer. In the past the time has varied from hours to months. We don't have a way to know how many of the reviews in the (total - (accepted + rejected + duplicated)) bucket are disagreements and how many are unresolved.
There are ways of estimating it, though. In 2020, 2021, and 2022 I did an experiment where I reviewed a ton of stuff and then stopped reviewing. Every day I recorded my Wayfarer stats and tracked them in a spreadsheet. Here is the 2022 experiment, which also contains information about and links to the results in 2020 and 2021. I forgot to do this in 2023, although I may have the data I need to do so.
I believe that the 2024 resolution speed for p50 and p90 are much lower than the years I studied, as Niantic recently changed a bunch of stuff that seems to make everything move much more quickly, but the long tail is probably still pretty long.
Can someone explain what "agreed with community" and "disagreed with community" means when the vote includes "I do not know" and different thumbs ups and thumbs downs?
The old 5 star voting system had vote range (1*, 2*, 3*, 4*, 5*, duplicate), and clear outcome (rejected, accepted, duplicate). Logically, "agreement" would mean (vote: 1-2* and outcome: rejected) or (vote: 4-5* and outcome: accepted) or (vote: duplicate and outcome: duplicate).
The new system is similar, but adds extra voting option - not outright rejection (no thumbs down for the first 4 question) and 3 thumbs down for exercise/explore/exterminate. It is also not clear whether the outcome of that is counted as rejected, accepted, or as a separate outcome. What does "agreed with community" mean in this scenario?
I LOVE that exercise/explore/exterminate clause. Is that the AI? Or a sociopath's view of socializing?
Niantic hasn’t really shared that information with us. We really have no idea how the specific choices you make on a review are counted.
We can only really speak in generalities.
@holdthebeer-ING We obviously don't know.
The logical thing would be that Niantic applies some sort of your logic to all of your ratings on a review and come up with a yes or no (or duplicate, which is obvious). My understanding is that it worked that way in the previous system too, although I think it was heavily weighted toward the "Should this be a Wayspot?" question.
Had 4X stuck in my head (eXplore/eXpand/eXploit/eXterminate, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4X), somehow sneaked in). They usually have AI too.
When the Daleks review lol pretty much all rejections by them.
