Maybe try again when you don't have upgrades? Upgrades are like a double edged sword - it'll make things get processed faster but it also means it may get processed by people who aren't familiar with your area. Generally transit stations with a large sign stating the station name will get through easy, maybe to some…

Since there's been a lot of discussion around survey markers, I thought I'd try my luck: By the wording of the guidelines it should have been eligible - it's visually unique (this type of survey marker is known as a section control mark, so not as common as your kerb side ones), it's on a mountain top (although not a…

Not sure what a reservation is in the US, but a marae is usually open to both Maori and Pakeha (non-Maori). I'd have no problems approving a marae as a POI or objects in/around it subject to other guidelines.

Are they submissions of the actual marae itself or wooden carvings like of the Maori warriors inside/outside the marae? I would like to think marae are eligible nominations in itself as they are a place of gathering, almost like a church, that is, unless they are on the grounds of K-12. For instance, a marae at a tourist…

Alright nevermind on my previous post, re-submit of the trail marker got it through. Apparently Google street view was really deceiving and put the marker square on someone's driveway by default, whereas satellite view actually did the correct thing, but because street view was default, maybe a lot of reviewers didn't…

The "art" is mediocre at best, and I'm not convinced it's permanent. If that is the main nomination photo, it's not the greatest photo either. A "Boys and Girls Club" should be similar to a scout hall, however the main nomination photo is not focused on a sign depicting it as such. Therefore if it was me, I'd evaluate it…

@TheFarix-PGO out of curiosity can you explain why you think the map I posted wasn't eligible? It's not just a map per se - it's an information marker put up by the local mass transit authority (whose logo is on the top right hand corner). Under places of interest, it lists 3 parks, an oval, and a restaurant precinct so…

I'm inclined to say maps for parks and other tourist attractions in general are good, especially if they look nice as mentioned above. I also agree that maps for university campuses are kind of 50/50 - most of them aren't visually unique by far, but a lot of them do get through. Although on the note of maps, what do you…

How reviewers interpret the PRP rule is pretty subjective it seems. I have an example too. So I got a trail marker rejected for PRP, the government obviously doesn't place trail markers on PRP but you can see it's a few metres away from someone's back fence (cream-coloured colourbond fence). Therefore I wonder if people…

In my opinion, the trail logo in lieu of the trail name should make the trail marker eligible. Some historical trail goes for hundreds of kilometres, it's far cheaper for the government/council/NGO to produce markers with the trail logo and a direction symbol rather than "the lot". If a trail marker had no name/logo, I'd…

Sadly I find trail markers are harder and harder to get through these days. About 6 months ago, it was 50/50, nowdays it's more like 90% reject depending on type. For instance where I am, there's a 145km clearly named trail that goes around the city, many of the markers on it are already wayspots, but there's a few in more…
