I have just started nominating and would like to have more wayspots in my community and country. Its a small island country, Republic of Nauru; currently there are 4 wayspots scattered around the island. I would be grateful if anyone could help grow my Community

Normally, it takes a little until your nominations get reviewed. If nothing happends, even with upgrades, I would ask to change the bonus location^^
Ok thanks, I dont mind waiting 🙂I would appreciate your help if you do
If nothing happends after a month (not in voting, still in quere), I can change my bonus location to help out a bit. For this, it would be interesting, in which language you are submitting. So maybe more reviewers can help, when they understand the language^^
I submit in english. I think it will be ok to most reviewers. So do i notify again on this same discussion post? How is voting done btw? I would like to help other nominations aswell where I can, and you can ask to change bonus location?
Yes, just write in this discussion again, if possible, with a Screenshot if your submission(s) from Wayfarer. But first try reviewing to an upgrade and wait a bit. You can see the status of your submissions on Wayfarer aswell.
I will keep an eye out an update. Thank you LukeAllStars
I just reviewed a submission from Naruto. It used a stolen image from a Spanish photographer's Twitter account from 2018 as a faked mural POI: https://twitter.com/apbm_vigo/status/1047461455820406786?s=19
I hope people aren't faking submissions to try to add more waystops on your Island. I would keep an eye out for this @NRURagow1-PGO and report those fakers because if Naruto is found to have lots of fake submissions, it could slow down your submissions from getting approved.
I also reviewed a submission 3days ago for a field (used as football and athletics) and saw that the additional photo attached was for a different area miles away from the field. I gave a 1star straight awayUnfortunately I did not check who the submission was from. I will keep an eye out from now for users faking submissions and will report. Thanks for pointing that out @donandlan-PGO
Hello @NRURagow1-PGO ,
If people from outside your culture are reviewing your submissions, you are going to have to provide better pictures, and clear descriptions and supplemental information. These images don't immediately read as football stadium to me and Google maps isn't helping.
That was the fake submission that I reviewed @donandlan-PGO. Yeah the first image is football field but the photo attached was for a settlement area, not a football stadium. Sure I have only submitted my first ever 6 nominations so far and I uploaded the best ones i can take, trying to leave out people on photos.
Cheers
@NRURagow1-PGO I recommend making google 360 photos so users can see your submissions more clearly,
Good luck with it all.
I also started sending nomination from 15/11/2020(sent 7 nomination in that day)
1st of all thanks to everyone to make the eligibility for send nomination is 38(not 40)....omg I know how much I played to become lvl 38.
I have a question..
I sent 6 nomination from a children's park (I think they are genuine so I choose them). One of our senior(playing more time than me..and ohhh he touch lvl 40 when I started playing this game)player told me "why u send 6 nomination from same area? Even if ur nomination accepted. U will not get any pokestop from these 6. Because they came from same cell".
Now I am really confused. Omg why I do these?
I made big mistake. But believe me I am really noob in doing the job.
Now 1 of my nomination among 6 is accepted (thanks again).
Is it true that even if they all accepted it will still not come to game because they are in same cell?
The cell rule is a problem, but it depends on the location of the POIs you submitted. If they are super close, its pretty common, that those nominations are in the same cell. But its also possible, that they are in different cells. For this, I recommend checking the cells before submitting. A halpful webpage is pogomap.info . Here you can set markers to mark where you want to submit. Please dont forget that this is a coomunity map, so the POIs are not all coorect and also not all on the map.
And oh yes I am from India. Personally I can't afford 5g phone.
A request from a poor player. Please keep some smile within the game for poor gamers too.
Thanks
Thanks @LukeAllStars-PGO for hearing my question and trying to help. I really appreciate it. And oh so quickly. Not thought like that.
So as 1 of my nomination accepted. When I can see this picture as pokestop?
It's my 1 st created pokestop 😱🙀🤯
And ohh! I just checked pogomap. Info.. I can't.. I can't buddy.
Can't got even my real location. Google map is much better (sorry if u feel bad).
May be I have to learn a lot.
It's bad advice to tell anyone to use pogomap because they will find later that their nominations are marked as duplicated of the Ingress portals.
I mean more for planning and not for actually submitting. In this case also for submitting, if all submissions are close to each other.
There is a better tool, but this is not the place to talk about it.
Just place the location where it is, or in the case of a field or building, where it is most reasonable to place it. Stop trying to game the system.
Thanks everyone... My 1 nomination accepted... Let's see when it come in game.
Hope they will come in my game
Can I get these as pokestop please
please do not spam thi question in every discussion.
Your submissions are comming ingame if they meet all criteria (<20 meters away from other POIs, empty s2 cell). If they are not appearing in Pokemon GO, check out Ingress, it might be availeble there (do not forget that it can take up to 34 hours until new nominations are getting synced in PoGo). If they are in Ingress but not in PoGo, the s2 cell is used by a different POI. If it isnt in Ingress, it is located too close to a different POI, in this case, you could resubmit it with a different location (of course only as long as the location is still correct; f.e. on a playground). We can not change those "rules".
I surely will do that on my next nomination
I changed my bonus location and home location to Nauru, hopefully that should help you :D
You shouldn't set your home location on it, you can only do it once and you will be stuck with it forever.
Changing bonus location was good idea, as you can change it once a year, it would be enough to help :)
Thanks for telling, but I already did that way back before there were wayspots in Nauru. A good friend of mine occasionally travels there and back (before Covid happened) so we thought why not :D
Also I think if it can help smaller markets/communities to get more enthusiasm to play the game, why not :D
Ok, if you know about it, then it's ok :) I just wanted to tell you this in case you didn't know :)
Haha yes it's okay. Thanks again for the heads up :D
