I honestly don't know what to do to get one of my nominations accepted. If you enter the https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/ page from Scotland the first photo that appears as a valid wayspot is of a Bowling Green. I have nominated a similar case and yet it was rejected. Can you tell me if there is a problem?
"Description
The Bainfield Bowling and Social Club is situated in the West side of Edinburgh on Hutchison Crossway just off Gorgie Road. It is one of the largest bowling clubs in the UK with two outdoor greens. This is the second outdoor green."
Supplemental Information
"Please use Google MAPS (satellite) instead of Google Street View to check the existence of the bowling club. This type of sports club have already been accepted as a stop in other parts of the city. The stop is accessible from a pedestrian street next to the bowling club. It is NOT a NATURAL feature. It is NOT a DUPLICATE of the other stop. Thank you."

Isn't this a duplicate post?
Sorry, as I saw that my post did not appear, I asked again.
It's probably because it has images in it. Posts with images are checked first, before they appear.
i am guessing this was rejected because it just looks like a lawn to those of us not familiar with bowling greens. also, the dense vegetation in the camera angle makes it look like there is no pedestrian access where you have it pinned. you have to be able to touch the wayspot, not just get close enough to spin a pokestop. distance was not increased in ingress.
if there is a sign you can submit instead, i am sure that would go through.
if this is the best photo you can submit, give a link to something showing it is maintained for the sport in the supporting information. saying one was already accepted is not a good argument, because criteria change. also, i would word it "location can be confirmed on satellite view".
Thank you
