Okay, thanks for that. But… …what is the reason underpinning that conclusion? It's fine when someone raises a nomination and everyone familiar with Wayfarer can glance at it and say: "There's no pedestrian access." or "It's on private residential property." But when they've raised an issue and it looks like it complies…

Out in the real world, every venue has ample opportunity to control their own signs and messaging. In Wayfarer, we choose, curate, and accept Points of Interest from the users' perspective. This means considering what is unique, interesting, special about the particular place, and sharing this in our own words. The old…

Edits have never been auto-accepted. Somehow, someone or some organization gets these far-flung Wayspot edits submitted AND approved. They're either flooding them repeatedly, submitting where an inferior (misspelled or mischaracterized) POI is in Lightship or they've got a trick up their sleeve. I put in a few edits months…

At first I had to go along with @HankWolfman-PGO here. If you are asked about duplicates of a Wayspot, you are not supposed to flag things that appear to match each other, nor things that appear to be in the same vicinity as the Wayspot under consideration. However, Niantic also instructs us to flag - as duplicate - things…

How are the language filters?
-
Somebody at Niantic typed up a whole bunch of rules and requirements relating to Routes that included language banning proselytizing. They want their stuff to appear either neutral or positive for the community as a whole. It won't be a positive look if factions are fighting over title/description edits.
-
This could just be an internet meme that intersects with that religious organization and NIA games. It could also be an organized effort that Niantic is cooperating in. Or it could be evidence of some sort of spoofing activity, or…. The Wayfarer staff could look into this, if they aren't already engaged in it. I wonder if…

They do not conflict. Pokestops are limited by S2 cells, while Portals are limited by proximity <20 meters from another Portal. When considering a nomination from PoGo, while you are still on-site, look at the placement screen and make sure the blue toggle switch is turned on. This will enable you to see all the other…

While I'm glad they gave us notice of the upcoming change, I wish they could be more open about their intentions, thoughts, and plans. These Vanilla forums has been something like an old pair of training shoes. We've grown accustomed to how it feels in them, even if they don't really give us the best comfort or support or…

As users, we would appreciate it if the Machine was given a bunch of old, already-decided cases to Learn from, and not allowed to impact our work unless or until it is clearly ready for the task. Niantic keeps on throwing away our effort in the hope that Emily will learn from it, eventually. I don't know of any aspect of…

I suppose it depends upon what Niantic wishes to have in their system. It has seemed to be a central premise that Wayspots are nominated by the community, and have the community's voice. Unless someone pays sponsorship fees and obtains approval, each spot says whatever the community wishes. A spot at a restaurant doesn't…

There's a single port of entry for multiple apartments. The above statement fails to align with Wayfarer criteria. This might help to explain why in-house reviews have been so sketchy.

When your nomination is still 'In Queue', and you select it, there should be an 'Edit' button somewhere similar to the 'Appeal' button on rejected nominations. It should be near another button that says 'Hold' and maybe another for 'Rescind'? You can edit the Title, Description, and Supporting Info text fields only. There…
-
Normally, you can use your Contribution Management page to put your submission 'On Hold', then you would have time to go away and use a computer to research and flesh out a complete nomination. Lately there may be problems with how Niantic takes nominations for pre-evaluation or something. Then your nomination may become…

Do categories help Wayfarers? Do they help enough to be worth the effort of drilling down and searching for one or more correct ones? Is it worth adding them during review? If categories are non-existent from Ingress, and optional during reviewing, who actually benefits from them?
-
It won't matter how many people can potentially see the nomination 'In Voting', if the upgraded nomination is stuck and doesn't leave the queue. There appears to be a bug that impacts the user-side of the database, yet from the other side, the data guy says everything is working as designed. Since they won't say how it is…

No one HAS to report abuse. If you feel something is causing bad feeling, is unfairly punishing somebody or aiding someone else, you may wish to report it. If the situation is dangerous or illegal you really ought to report it, if you are able. The originator can use quote marks to show that the words are not their own,…
-
What seems to be going on is sort of the new normal at Niantic. Things change, because it's almost impossible for them to remain the same, but there is woefully little communication. NIA's systems, methodologies, and procedures are treated like top-tier super-classified intelligence. They do not seem to realize that most…
-
'Loitering' is basically existing. If anyone had any legal concern about the connection between AR games and loitering, virtually ALL the public Wayspots would need to be removed, as they are encouraging this (in)activity. People have to be able to pause on public sidewalks and verges, or 'stand' their vehicle or…

Is that the same standard of care you use when reviewing? I admit it did sound a bit like they were taking the mickey when claiming the motto, but all those words wrought in iron, and endorsed by Eli should have made a reviewer at least marginally curious, wouldn't you agree?
-
You can find examples of 10-of-a-kind athletic fields/courts/pitches on this very forum. 'Never' is a rather bold choice of words for someone attempting a rhetorical match. It is this kind of argumentation that derails many valid nominations. Wayfarers are unlikely to cite specific creatures when nominating trail markers,…

We get similarly retarded results around Boston, Massachusetts, though, where you can find several reviewers on this forum. It's not just a small-and-isolated community problem.
-
If players nominate additional photos and upvote them, does the original image get removed altogether? I thought image removal was something done by Niantic, exclusively. Oh, well. What do I know?
-
Larger problems than somebody using inside access to diminish someone else's submission? I suppose, if it only happened one time, we have bigger fish to fry. But someone in Niantic who is concerned about data-integrity might want to see who dunnit, how often, and with what result.
-
Other than his own, you mean? I've never seen my own nominations in the feed, but folks on this board said they did, and that it was regarded as proper functioning if the queue had been reduced sufficiently. The problem OP sees is that his queue is fed from hundreds, even thousands, of kilometers away, but his own…
-
Their design seems to be to demean and diminish us, while randomly taking swipes at their game boards. They won't remove things that players flag for them, yet they'll remove things that they themselves have accepted - and warn the nominator, to boot. Add garbage in India, remove hiking trails in Holland, advise us not to…

Your supporting photo is permitted to contain people and cars. Your goal for it is to help reviewers to confirm that your primary photo was taken where you claim it to be, it is accessible, etc. There may be times when you will want to keep those things out of the support pic (such as an intention to submit it as an…

They never appear in Contribution Management, despite the language in the email. You may need to wait for the new image to sync before you can see it in the wild. Congratulations on your success!

LFLs are more likely to be accepted if they are situated on public property or at least upon the public verge. Even if there was a suitable subject on the outer face of that stone wall, if the wall belonged to a single-family private residential property, reviewers are instructed to reject it. The license plate (if it…
