  • It's not disagreeing my definition. :-) Immediately afterwards: "And no, I don't think in 50 years anything she's done will still be having an impact on society." You may disagree with that assessment, but it doesn't disagree with my definition.
  • Lol. Those weren't my words. I said we had a different meaning of "significant/historical". "Doing something that means something to someone." appears to be your definition. As I've stated earlier, my definition is "changjng society or culture". Long-term, wide-ranging cultural impact. And no, I don't think in 50 years…
  • I think the "other rejection criteria" was probably your main rejection. There are a lot of reviewers who won't approve tables without a roof over them. Niantic have said that a picnic area like this one with permanent grills should be fine with no pavilion. You can dig-up that clarification and include it in your…
  • If you consider Marth Stewart a "significant/historical" figure, then I see we're much too far apart on the meaning of those words to ever approach agreement. :-) Although, the same appears to go for this Earl. I take "significant/historical" to be someone who changed the society or culture they were a part of. It seems to…
  • I disagree. There are people with such titles or higher that served too briefly to make an impact or were ineffectual. I'm not impressed by titles. Show me what someone actually did that had a significant impact on their society.
  • You misunderstood the response from Niantic. Niantic only removes things that violate a few rules: K-12, safe pedestrian access, duplicates, and fake wayspots mostly. The removal criteria is not the same as the rejection criteria. They don't remove, for example, generic businesses, generic street signs, generic benches,…
  • That seems to be a little off-track, though. The standard for graves isn't the same as the other "great place to explore" submissions. For most things, an entry in the local guidebook would be good enough. For graves in cemeteries, it doesn't matter if I, or any other random tourist, would stop by after seeing a…
  • @Purptacular-PGO I have a gyroscope problem on my phone as well. I don't know if you've tried this: start the photosphere, move phone to the first position, take the picture (see picture slowly drift away), *without moving phone* exit the photosphere and start a new one so phone is already in the proper position. The…
  • Would I look up the people? Yes. Would I visit their grave? Doubtful. Usually those aren't tourist attractions. I would definitely visit the manor of the Earls or Derby or go to a museum about them, assuming they were notable enough for those types of attractions to exist. Most grave sites aren't set up to be educational…
  • I haven't had photospheres rejected, but I have had them not show up in the Street View app after making them. The do appear in Google Maps for the area, though. Did you get a rejection message or did they just not appear in the app?
  • Yeah. I just included that because I thought it was a funny quote. There are actually two different people's opinions there because the second part was from a different source. Anyway, the point being that someone checking the Wikipedia page is probably going to come away with the impression he did not have an illustrious…
  • I think you keep missing the point that, in the UK, these "public footpath markers" mean something different than they do in the rest of the world. In the UK, they are equivalent to your "Symbols for Bike Lanes no" example. They say "you can walk here", not "this way is part of a hiking trail".
  • @XeZar66-ING would you mind saying why you disagree? Is it because you don't think it is outside of school bounds? Is it because you think things near schools should be removed? Something else? No one has posted an opposing viewpoint so I'm curious to hear what it is.
  • Since this is the Nomination Improvment section, I would say add more information about the Rugby cup and what its importance is to the sport. Since his time in public service seems pretty unremarkable, that's probably your better chance.
  • There will certainly be some difference of opinion on what "important historical figure" means. There have been many Earls, many Ambassadors to France, and quite a few Secretaries of State for War/Defense. Should they all qualify as "important historical figures"? As for this one, he was an honorary Rugby Football League…
  • I think there may have been some people who got access back, but maybe lost their old statistics. Try tagging @NianticGiffard
  • Some people think because post offices are eligible, these package drop stations are too. They are not. In your area, there must have been enough of these people reviewing to make it through. Unfortunately, because Niantic won't remove things that don't meet acceptance criteria (only that do meet rejection criteria), that…
  • That is exactly the one. :-) I'm just in the area visiting family, but thanks for the invite to the Discord.
  • There's a format for reports in this category. If you follow that format, you will have a better chance. Definitely include a geo-tagged photo of the garage.
  • I would resubmit with text asking reviewers to check the link by the Plano City Government to confirm the court is part of the park, not part of the school. If local reviewers aren't willing to look beyond Google Maps at evidence from an official source, then appeal that second submission to Niantic. You can include a…
  • Except they don't tell us clearly what they want or why, so in many cases we are deciding as a community what they probably mean. In addition, Niantic don't "reward" us for agreeing with them, they "reward" us for agreeing with the community. The "community stance" is not always right, or else the appeals success wouldn't…
  • Ah. I'm only familiar with electric bikes where you still have to pedal. It's an assist, not a replacement for pedaling. If these don't require any work from the rider, then I agree.
  • Download the Google Street View app. After that, it guides you pretty well. I don't have any information about this photosphere bug, so not sure what's going on with that. You can try following @Gendgi-PGO's advice in the meantime. Point out to the reviewers that it's new and show the building corner along with the…
  • If the farm shop made and sold local specialty products, and/or provided some kind of educational info about them, I could see it being a "great place to explore". The submitter would have to support that, of course. I think @X0bai-PGO's question of single-family farm shop vs LFL is a sticking point. Perhaps in this case…
  • Ar first, I was definitely going to reject it because it just looked like a home decor store from the submission. I googled the gallery and found that it actually did sell original art, so then I decided to skip and come ask here.
  • @flatmatt-PGO This is the one that prompted my question: https://www.nativevisions.com/
  • Yes. Gated doesn't matter.
  • In the US, I would agree with you, but reading posts by UK reviewers, I think these are used differently than what we're used to in the US. If they say they should be rejected in that country, I'll go along with that if I ever find myself doing any UK reviews. I would still pass similar markers in the States, though, as…
  • I went back to your first post and was able to locate where (I'm 90% sure) the pavilion is. It is not visible in the satellite photo. I think it was in the process of being constructed because I see what looks like 4 pillars where it should be. I suggest you use the Google Street View app to add an up-to-date photosphere…
