If you can take a pic of the mural as the main shot for the community cycling hub then I think it should easily be accepted as a community initiative to promote exercise, socialising, and also because of the bright and cool looking mural. I'd probably title something along the lines of "Community Cycling Hub Mural"…

I changed my bonus because of the 2 warning messages (home: this can't be changed again, bonus: this can't be changed for a year), bonus seemed a bit better if it got stuck. So now I'm stuck for a year because I didn't like the warning message about being permanently stuck and also, you reset people bonuses following…

Considering reviewers are supposed to reject any submissions including unacceptable language, why do these sort of filters even need to be applied? English people understand that pipe isn't a rude word in English! Similarly Germans will understand when bird is appropriate! They could ban the obvious words that are…
-
Yeah I have had one accepted in the past (same style as the rejected one), and two that have been rejected once or twice each and are still outstanding. I use the same supporting information as the accepted one too! I will keep trying them. Its such a nice route for a walk, run or bike ride!
-
First trail marker (Thames Path, with the name on it) rejected just now. "Does not meet criteria" :)
-
Yep, I'm going to have lots of things upgraded that I wouldn't normally choose to use an upgrade on, including a trail marker. I'm sure I'll have a similar experience to you ;)
-
I am a UK reviewers and I'd have accepted this but a lot do not. I get trail markers similar to this (named trails) rejected about half the time. Submit it again, and don't hold out too much hope each time. It'll hopefully get through eventually but they are usually a waste of an upgrade, yes.
-
I don't leave the house hardly at all, so don't get the chance to submit things very often since the pandemic started. However since things go through the queue quite slowly here, I've got ~10 things needing decisions one way or another so the upgrades can go towards clearing out the whole backlog even if they all get…
-
However anyone feels about stink pipes, banning the word "pipe" is silly! Let's hope this is resolved soon

I also reset my bonus to Russia for this, as I wasn't sure of the message about the home location change being permanent (being able to change after 1 year seemed preferable to never, so I chose the bonus) I'd like the option to choose a new bonus location, since I had originally set it to the town I worked in which was…
-
I haven't been reviewing much recently, so actually I only realised this event was happening and that I could help due to the Silph Road post which was then shared by a friend, so I'm really glad the post was made! It definitely reached a wider audience. I also chose Moscow (although I didn't know the home locations were…
-
I actually thought that the cooldown triggers had been lowered for the challenge so we could review more without being so worried about these? Normally when I review at the pace I want to review at (I'm a really fast reader), I get the 4 hour cooldown after 20 to 50 reviews. I usually just review till I get a cooldown (or…

I don't know where you guys live for this to be generic, but to me this sounds like a special sort of coffee shop. A family run business since 1956, supporting organic and fair trade produce, with a workshop to roast their own beans? That sounds pretty unique in my experience I can only think of 1 coffee shop in my town…
-
I don't see the car in the picture. There's a bit of a blur top right, but it doesn't interfere with the picture, which is of an eligible object, so I'd have approved it. The picture could be nicer but it isn't bad enough to be grounds for rejection in my opinion. I've seen plenty worse showcases than this one though, they…
-
You could have a small square for "submission is actually awesome". Maybe it gets ticked off sometimes! Also a square for "angry rant about previous rejections in supporting information".... the ones that are usually all in capitals, with lots of information about what it isn't, but no information about what it is!
-
That looks permanent enough me, given the types of signs my council use for walking routes are often flimsy plastic held on to posts, or even stickers, and I live in the UK too. To me, although marker might not be designed to last for 50 years, its clearly not paper, and will last quite some time. Event markers are usually…
-
I've said in other threads I think it needs to be common sense of the submitter to choose something that would be acceptable to local people. They know their cemeteries best after all. Then reviewers should take into account the criteria and what the submission says and vote accordingly. I would not just reject everything…
-
Common sense says its designed to be walked to by people with small children. If it's safe for them to get to in order to play in, it's safe for someone to access for the games. I'd approve it. It's not in a big road. People learn to look both ways and cross a road safely when they're in primary school. Look up from your…
-
I just want to know why I was wrong and the context will help me vote better elsewhere. I genuinely am interested in the answer because I do not understand right now and I want to understand. I want to know specifically why benches being generic overrides other criteria such as a good place to socialise or explore, where…
-
I would have done the same as you.... so I really want to understand how to vote in future... I don't fully understand why this can be rejected due to the benches looking quite generic while it meets some core criteria, but a playground can be accepted because it meets core criteria despite also being quite generic (one…
-
Hi Niantic Giffard, Thanks for clarifying that this is not eligible because the benches are too generic. Please can you help me understand why this is not eligible as a good place to explore and socialise? I would have scored this as acceptable due to those criteria - if I was in this location, I can see myself visiting…
-
I'd choose duplicate simply because it tells the submitter not to bother trying for again, so hopefully means they don't waste their time or yours again. If the bad picture gets added, the community can fix that later (or maybe it will come up for photo review later too)
-
Maybe this description is actually the tagline of the church, something they use all the time? It doesn't make the nomination ineligible, and a local can always add a better description at a later date. It's relevant to the building so I would say it's an OK description.
-
Trail markers have safe pedestrian access because they are on a walking trail which is the very definition of pedestrian access! You can access them simply by walking down the trail. A marker being on a road is not grounds for rejection - you can walk down the trail to the road, and if you decide the road is not safe to…
-
For me it's a case of common sense. It's designed by a council for kids to play on, so it's designed to be safe for people to get to and use. There's space to stand on it safely, so if you didn't want to get wet you could probably take a boat there. The middle of a lake or in the sea isnt always safe, so I understand…
-
I think that's such a shame if people think that way. It would be super cool to climb a mountain and be able to send gifts in PoGo or HPWU from a waypoint at the top! It doesnt have the same strategic importance but it's still very nice, and in general I'm all for approving waypoints that encourage people to take a walk…
-
It depends on the town. Casey mentioned this as an example of why generic business was no longer a rejection reason in a thread when the new criteria was introduced. If the town/village is small and doesn't have a range of coffee shops, a Starbucks may well be a good place to socialise in that town. However, in most larger…
-
Generic business is no longer listed as an option to select. A business meeting no criteria would now probably be rejected as "other rejection criteria", but a judo club does meet 2 of the main criteria.
-
A local player can easily submit an edit later. This is such a minor typo that half the players wouldn't even notice it, since it even contains all the right letters. I agree it's important to have waypoints with correct spelling but I wouldn't reject an eligible nomination because of a mis-spelling - that's what the edit…
-
Judo clubs are great places for exercise and also socialising so they meet criteria. I don't believe being part of a chain changes that. I think generic business is no longer a rejection critieria, so if the business is a good place to socialise, exercise or explore then it can be eligible with the criteria update, even if…
