Varanasi UP is the city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh

You have to select "Ask a question" instead of "New discussion" when you make the post originally.

"Other Rejection Criteria" means the reviewers don't think your restaurant is "special". It's very difficult to get restaurants approved. The "list of 16 restaurants" just looks like a list of 16 restaurants. Are there any reviews or awards for the restaurant from Roteiro de Almada? I would link those instead. If that is a…

I agree. Looks good to me, but I'd need to see the surrounding area to guess at why they were choosing school. That could be a random choice, though. You shouldn't be getting "Other Rejection Criteria", imho.
-
Mass produced is not a removal criteria. Removal is limited to duplicate, fake, removed, no safe pedestrian access, k-12 school, blocks emergency services, and single family property. For future reference, after reporting them in the game, if you get a rejection email you can then use the Wayfarer help chat or post in the…

Yeah. I'm agreed with @Elijustrying-ING's interpretation that "safe" is what we're intended to be rating, not "access". Since Niantic will never clarify, though, everyone will have their own interpretation.
-
It only matters single family, or no. If one family is in one row house, it's considered PRP rejection. If two families are in one row house, it's now not PRP rejection. This us a very tricky difference to prove in practice, imho.
-
I agree with @HaramDingo-ING, but I'm really impressed by whatever tool they used to do the mapping. (And OP as well for suspecting something was up.)
-
Unfortunately, there are no rejection reasons because it was rejected by Niantic staff. This doesn't mean it should have been rejected, just that it's difficult to know exactly what to improve. Looking at it, the picture is not immediately clear what the nomination is. I would focus on just the wall with the covering and…

Your idea about starting a local historical society and getting historical markers installed of all this history you mentioned is a great idea. (Offical markers, not homemade ones.) You might also try adding photospheres to your nominations if Google maps isn't good in your area. Apart from that, yes, the game is much less…
-
Haha. No problem. I personally don't understand how cafes aren't auto-accepts for "great place to socialize" in areas where all pubs are.
-
If you've submitted multiple times, the abuse rejections might be coming from people who have already rejected it several times for other reasons and now view the submission as spam. I'd follow the advice given above and wait a few months before resubmitting with changes.
-
You could look around for a local historical society. They would probably support such an effort and may know how to go about doing it. I guess it would involve contacting the town council and raising funds for it. Another option, if the "Townes of Moorefield" has a homeowners association or management company, you could…

Sometimes reviewers choose random reasons or don't understand the meaning of what they're choosing. When this happens, it's best to ignore that reason and focus on the ones that make sense. In this case "Other Rejection Criteria" mean reviewers don't think it's a "great place to exercise, socialize, or explore".…

I tested an appeal on a bench with a scenic view and it was just rejected. (Just to let you know an appeal is probably not a great bet either, not saying that rejection reflects how reviewers should vote on them.) Imho, you're unlikely to get this passed via any method at the moment if you want to save yourself the hike.
-
You can probably fix low quality photo by focusing on either the pier or the boat launch, rather than the water between them. There was another post recent about a dock that had an example of a good photo. For pedestrian access, maybe include more of the surrounding area in your photo rather than the signs. That way voters…
-
As an aside, it doesn't hurt my feelings when people disagree with my comments, so no need to worry if I thought you were the disagree or not. I like hearing other opinions and discussing things. I will admit my reply was calculated to draw out the disagreer so we could have an discussion of the issue. Maybe I shouldn't…
-
I understand that people want 100%, definite answers, and then proceed to argue that's not what Niantic really meant in the rare case Niantic actually makes a statement about something (e.g. trail markers or the recent challenge examples). I also believe the acceptance criteria are intended to be subjective, so that's a…
-
But your example of rampant inconsistency was flawed. They are consistent about basing their decision on the pin location. Of course they aren't 100% consistent all the time, but when they're 80%+ consistent, that's a good indication of what they intend. It's not like I have an anti-road confirmation bias. I'm from the…
-
That shows up when Wayfarer can't determine your location. Easiest way I've found to fix it is to play Ingress at your current location. If you don't have an Ingress account, sorry I couldn't help.
-
Agreed except you need to define "community leaders" as the Wayfarer community were the ones who let the fakes in in the first place. If you mean Niantic's internal community leaders, sure. If you mean Wayfarers, the record is much more spotty. Having thousands of reviews or dozens of accepted submissions doesn't mean they…
-
Dunno. Didn't show up in Ingress Intel for me this morning when I checked it twice. Must have been a network error loading the Intel map because it is showing for me too now.
-
Natural feature isn't listed as a rejection criteria anymore in the Wayfarer documentation, but it's still on the rejection reason drop-down list so people choose it. You are probably better off showing mainly the sign. If it's somewhere you go frequently, you can always submit a photo edit with the rock itself after the…
-
But it's not an opinion issue? This is literally what the instructions right above where you select the stars say. It's not my opinion. There's room for a difference of opinion on 3* since it uses the world "likely", but 1* is clear: "Rate 1* if the nomination cannot be found". It doesn't say anything about knowing it's…
-
I don't think it would. Fakes are way too easy right now. An AR scan would be far more difficult to fake than misplacing a single photo stolen from the internet or another stop, so fakes would drop significantly. Maybe a handful of people who submit stops for fun would be turned off. I expect most of those people…
-
You make good points, but the problem is that Niantic doesn't want to make good games. They want to collect mapping data to sell as their Lightship AR database. These filler POIs you mention would increase the playability of Pokemon Go outside of urban areas, but they run counter to Niantic's true goal of populating the…
-
Aerator fountains aren't related to the issue of sidewalk vs no sidewalk. But to answer your observation, they consistently leave aerator fountains when the pin is on the shore and remove them when the pin is on the aerator. It isn't as random as it seems. I agree that one appeal or one review isn't conclusive, but when…

(Deleted. It was an error loading the Intel Map.)
-
That's interesting. Maybe they have a quota of responses for each game? I put Pokemon and Ingress. Are there any PoGo only players that were able to do the survey?
-
I was able to do the survey on an Android phone with no problems just now. I was able to put in 0 as my level for Pikmin. I'm not over 75, so I didn't try that. Don't know if it works for everyone, but if you have an Android phone and had issues earlier, they may be fixed.
