.....so if i upgrade something, are there just people reviewing it that are
a) from planet uranu-s
b) reviewing to reject only?
c) reviewing to reject only?
i would advise Niantic to discharge everyone that is sabotaging the reviewing process like this!

Why did you take a photo of the stairs, though?
You should post these nomination details in the nomination improvement forum, for experienced reviewers to give feedback on ways to refine your submission.
I review to see if something meets acceptance criteria, while not meeting rejection criteria.
I'm sorry I only speak English. And I can't put your screenshots into a translator.
But every staircase cannot be a point of INTEREST. It's not art, or a social gathering meeting place. Sure it takes exercise, but no more than the thousands of staircases nearby. Wayspots are not for common things.
Well, the nomination seems to be for a museum of art and design - a great candidate! And the photo is quite pretty, crisp and clear and striking. But that staircase is not easily recognizable as a representation of your candidate: it could be a staircase from anywhere. You'd likely have better luck submitting a sign for your museum, lettering on the building itself, or something similar that marks your photo as coming from this museum and clearly showing that what you're nominating is the museum itself and not just one of its stairways. If you do want to nominate the stairway as a work of unusual architecture, then you'd need the title to match and great detail showing the importance (and attribution) of this particular piece of design.
This exactly. You can also use otherwise ordinary things as a place to pin valid POI locations, like a park, if there's nothing better, but then people don't read and will assume you're nominating the object itself and fixate on that to the exclusion of everything else. It's easy to understand that a museum sign is obviously supporting the museum itself (and is not just about the sign), but depart from that and suddenly reading comprehension tanks.
So you really need to find the most obvious and visually understandable representative of your POI to "help" people out.
If there's a sign on the door or somewhere outside, use that.
Imho, the supporting picture showing the Museum would have been a better photo than the one you provided. If the POI is named Museum of X, then the photo should pair up with the name.
Albeit, it does seem like a bad rejection given that the museum is properly geotagged.
Geo-taks can be added by anybody to things like google maps - a pin on the map is not really good enough to confirm a location by itself.
tbh a Museum of contemporary art itself mostly is a POI itself
in this case the Museum isnt the guggenheim from outside, but inside this seems quite nice.
I would have 5* it, and really do not understand why someone would 1*
Yes, but a 2 second google search reveals the museum actually exists. I'm not sure if there's some plot in Germany where companies are registering fake businesses with fake photos, but this doesn't seem to be the case 😂
Don't expect reviewers to "Google search" a Wayspot. The burden is on the nominator to do their homework instead of demanding that reviewers do it for them.
Your first mistake was using a picture that dared to be interesting. First impressions seem to count with reviewers and using an interesting and different picture like you did didn't help.
Maybe the museum has a janky old noticeboard that never actually gets used outside it?
Maybe it has a peel off sticker with the museum name on it on an old pole?
Maybe look for a crappy metal or plastic sign that says
"HELLOOO ..I'M THE **** MUSEUM"
I hope this helps.
As people have written it's better to post a clear photo of the probably boring sign for the museum. Then show good pedestrian access.
It would be nice for nominations to allow for THREE photos (nominator choice). One to show a name to lock a wayspot like this, one to show pedestrian access, and one to use as the photo for the wayspot (if it's more interesting but wouldn't get approved because of guidelines).
Then we could choose which photo would be best for the wayspot when we review.
Too much data. It's already hard enough to upload a nomination.
So you're telling me, if someone creates a fake SV/photosphere and states that he did it, you would never, ever compare the photosphere to the actual place?
Boy, any abusers of the system would be PAYING to have you review their submissions.
Jokes aside, i can't even call it lazy work, because at the end of the day, you review how YOU want to review and since WF is based on subjectiveness, you not taking 2 seconds to check if a business exists or not can't even be called bad reviewing, because there is no good or bad in subjectiveness, as again, it's all subjective.
We have some CSI MI6 Secret Intelligence Information reviewers here in my country who will go to extreme lengths of even looking at picture metadata if they even so slightly suspect that the image has been tampered with (Graffitis where they don't exist, just Photoshopped in). And they're not right nor wrong in doing so, because not everyone wants to perform that same level of scrutiny, nor is anyone forced to do it.
If you can spare 2 seconds of your life to check a particular place and potentially not reject a valid POI, by all means do it. But if you can't, then don't.
Since it's not explained in the interface (to my knowledge), many people don't know that you can click/tap the title of the nomination to open a tab of a google search of that text, at least in Chrome. The downside is that it truncates the search term if there is a character like ' or &.
Clicking on the title and description takes you to a Google search in a second.
Why on earth was this rejected?
Dein Vorschlag wurde aus folgendem Grund abgelehnt: Der Vorschlag scheint nicht optisch einzigartig zu sein..
Generic memorial plaque, unless your support statement had lots of details about why this person was important to the community its a 1* submission.
