Please can you tell me what I did wrong?

So I'm gonna try and tranlate. It was not accepted because of "doesn't meet the criteria", "is seasonal", "it's on private property".
I'm really thinking otherwise and would like to hear your advice so I can improve :)
"Two Totems"
"Two totem poles, decorated by children, guard the trail."
"Those poles are standing just alongside a nice trail, not on private property, and they look really interesting!"
Thanks in advance!

some reviwers think everything are seasonnal and reject everything .
it’s a goodsubmission, just have to waste a submissions to try again again.
They look temporary / borderline fake to just get a POI. Unless theres something like a local news article about them confirming their validity then I cant see them ever being approved.
private property is not correct, they didn't check the supportive picture.
Not matching criteria: as you mention, created by kids and planted there, don't look permanent (can't see them lice through 1 or 2 winters)
Seasonal - probably same intend as: can't see them live through winter and it will not be maintained
On the surface they can seem temporary, or even just posted for the photo. It would generate doubts to me, the truth
Submit it without upgrading it. Keep it local. If its on a common rail trail then local voters may be more familiar with it. I would doubt that there was a local news article about some randomly painted polls on a rail trail. (its also way more detail then should be required). Maybe mention when they were done. Or if you know by whom (local scout troop or class project).
I would never upgrade a submission like this though. Waste of 100 agreements. Keep the voting local. Higher chance it goes through.
Thanks to all of you! There are no local news about them, that's true. But I think it was a kindergarden project, maybe I can find out when exactly they did it and how they survive winter :)
And I'll try to improve my photo skills as well. Hopefully, this'll help next time I nominate sth.
@Sareja-PGO these should be able to get accepted. I know what scares people is that the totems look small compared to others. Maybe put in there that it was an elementary project. That explains why the totems aren’t as tall as a normal totem. Best of luck my friend
I typed in what i could see of the address and the pin for that landed right on top of a home. I would not approve a wayspot there, if that is what your reviewers were shown. You may want to use the Street View app to take a photosphere from the trail showing these totems in place on the other side of the fence.
its 90 not 60, but just as bad if not worse lol
@Roli112-PGO looks like you’re right. @Sareja-PGO it looks as if your location was way off. It makes it look like a fake submission tbh
Certainly would speak to the cultural relevancy and would help get them accepted.
I wouldn't worry to much about what address pops up in Wayfarer. When I select my home location on the map in wayfarer it assigns the address from an entire street over.
