Maybe it's a trinket shop, or government office building, or restaurant?

I'd like to add two more: EDIT results emails should resume including the text that you suggested. They used to, but it was removed when all the other email bugs were introduced. (What a waste of time, to make us go back and find our submission email to see what has been accepted/declined. Sometimes it was years prior. Not…

Being a local business - is not acceptance criteria. Explain why each is a great place to explore, socialize, or exercise. See TIP: Look for murals or other permanent art or decorative fountains - even inside restaurants. They're great for exploring.
-
This says edits do not count toward agreements Personally, I think it's left over from when you might be reviewing three changes at once - title, description, location. What if you're in agreement for one or two - so not total agreement for the whole wayspot? OTOH if you agree on all three changes, is that one agreement,…
-
Can you think of a single other company where users aren't able to view their reports or tickets? Or sends no no email or text about its resolution?
-
I was able to appeal after 26 days.

If you'll share your nominations (photos, description, supporting), we're glad to see if we spot what's going on. For example, if you used any game work (Pokemon, spin, stops, etc) - that's an immediate reject. Also, did your rejection say "the community decided" or "our team decided"? "This place really exists" or "they…

You can right-click on the picture to do a reverse image search. (In Chrome, select "Search image with Google". I've found LFLs and other things that way. Then I mark the review as abuse. Niantic can ignore or pursue that rating - if they want.
-
Photo thumbs-up are meant to indicate that you think it's the best picture for the database. Niantic bast ardized that for a while, counting thumbs to determine gyms. (I think they only meant to use thumbs for the initial PokémonGO load , and forgot to take out that code.) Now it's back to just meaning you like the…
-
Maybe it's because of a stray comment, deep in the 2nd or 3rd page of a post, that a Niantic employee made, about trail markers. It got repeated, and as it got repeated, it grew - until some communities were warning others that trail markers are not good at all anymore. I also think that Niantic employee was only…
-
Good points already given. Also, reviewers may have judged based on the picnic tables, that look easy to move (no concrete platform, or chains, or anything). For your primary picture, zoom in on what you're nominating.
-
Maybe. If an art piece is two (or more) of the same thing (or similar things), then each piece isn't a distinct wayspot. For example, two lions at a Chinese restaurant (they're always depicted together), or an obelisk repeated over and over to keep people from driving into an area. Your example looks like an urn that is…
-
Edit appeals are independent from nomination appeals, right? IOW we still get a nomination appeal every 25 days, even if we appeal an edit?
-
It's been a week. I hope Niantic is working on this.
-
I thought appeal queueing has randomness, is not FIFO. The queueing algorithm could have changed in the past year, but I'd be surprised if they put developers on that (in lieu of other things). W only get one appeal per month, so it's hard for a single person to test. But when appeals were way backed up, we could compare -…
-
It's really disheartening. How can Niantic care so little about what they say to their contributors? I wonder how many people have crafted fixes, but they were never installed.
-
My last appeal was Feb 27. I should have a new one today. But no.
-
Original picture - zoom in on the actual object. Don't have a lot of trees / bushes / sky / parking lot . Additional picture - AI is not worrying about whether the wayspot is valid. It's ONLY comparing your picture to the existing picture. Maybe the original photo, maybe the one with the most thumbs, maybe all of them. If…
-
If a wayspot is on the real-world item that it represents, you can't move it. Niantic considers that abuse. For example, if a wayspot is on one part of a building, but it doesn't show in PokemonGO, and you try to move it along the wall, to benefit your game (still on the same building). Don't risk it. If these wayspots are…
-
I can't see your picture. Is your "buddy" a Pikmin Bloom character? They see different Wayspots from PokemonGO or Ingress.
-
It took us a year to convince Niantic that rejecting should take more than one click - that you should have to choose from list of valid rejection reasons. Then it took another year to convince them to send those reasons to the nominator. That was 5 years ago. Any Niantic staff that was there for the convincing - has…
-
Niantic built an AI to pre-process nominations before sending them to the community for voting. The AI doesn't like pictures with a lot of nature in them. Try again but zoom in on the sign. It'll make a better portal picture that way anyway.
-
gaslighting: "What do you mean? Everything's fine.", threatening: "Stop doing what we don't like, or you'll be banned. We cannot tell you why." obfuscating: "Don't spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about our stuff. That's OUR job." nor promising: "We'll fix that real soon, now. Pinkie swear!" Wow, insightful summary.

Pokemon spawn. Resonators can be deployed from 40m on one side of a Wayspot, to 40m on the far side. Niantic makes money off their database and games. You can't just drop things in people's yards and houses. The homeowner did not give permission for virtual items on their property. And they didn't give permission for…
-
It's fine to copy the text from a historical marker. That's what the marker is FOR. It's only plagiarism if you're taking words from something that makes money off their words. Like quoting Wikipedia or a newspaper. They write for a living, and don't give it away. Niantic makes money from their database, and businesses do…
-
What country are you in? Are the Wayspots new, or has it been a few months? Niantic has uploaded FourSquare data in India and some other places, but it's been a while. They didn't have pictures, but people may have been adding them.
-
I get a few location changes over and over. I think when one is denied, the submit it again. Eventually, maybe it'll get thru. For one location change in FL, there are always 20 or so suggestions. I think every day when they open their game, they submit the same edit at least twice. However, I've found the bot cumbersome…

The minimum age to play Ingress is 13. Kind of big for playgrounds. So the Exercise question is a thumbs down for playground - same as dog parks - the gamer does not exercise there. Whether adult humans go to a playground (or dog park) for the purpose of socializing... I'm not sure about each place. Probably some yes, some…
-
I Googled pokemon sticker, and see plenty of places to buy that. It's mass-produced corporate art. Generic. I didn't do any research on its location, but maybe it's close enough to houses to "cause a nuisance" with parking, noises at night, or whatever.
-
I'm not clear how to stitch together your screen prints. And they don't include title, both pictures, and description for each of your nominations. But I'll go out on a limb and make a few observations. A sign/entryway can be the representation of a thing - for example a park sign can be a representation for the park. But…
