Can you share a screenshot? You are adding a pin and not just typing in a city name, right?
-
We know that Niantic "quasi-randomly" selects nominations for review, but beyond that, we can only speculate. I would guess that the fact that four of yours went to Niantic voting is just a weird coincidence. Niantic will send an email if they think you have been reviewing nominations incorrectly or if they take action on…
-
People may appear in the background of the supporting photo, no problem. It looks like all of these except one have "other rejection criteria," which appears to be the correct rejection based on the information provided. the system only displays 2 rejection reasons at a time, even if more than 2 reasons were selected, so…
-
Honestly, I don't feel like I have to. I just had another removal report that was accepted. There isn't a corresponding removal rejection reason, so for the liquor store, I chose "permanently removed". (Maybe implying "I think you [Niantic] might like this to be permanently removed.") It's possible that the Niantic staff…
-
Looks like Niantic doesn't want to remove existing liquor store wayspots. You would likely get the same response for the wayspot inside the vape store.
-
It's a bit of a gray area, but most people reject scout camps, scout huts, etc, because like you said, their primary purpose is to host children, and the children's parents/family are not present or supervising theme, like they typically would with a playground.
-
Ugh, this happened to me this morning too! Within two, no more than three hours from when I submitted the nomination. I knew Niantic could grab nominations quickly, so I at least put the right title and a very basic description. But like you, I don't write full description or supplemental info until I get home. The one…
-
I have to say, this is the most ridiculous Niantic appeal rejection I've seen yet. Not only is this an educational nature sign, but I'd venture to guess that it's the only one of its kind (unless there is an identical sign on the other side of the exhibit or something, but even so, one of them would merit a wayspot). But…
-
The @ symbol is not an emoji and should not be rejected as such, but why take the chance instead of just writing the two-letter word? In all of those screenshots, the emojis add nothing of value and just look tacky. That supporting info looks like one of those memes... (I won't post an example here because they tend to be…

In this kind of report, when Niantic staff say "wayspots," I've often wondered if it includes both nominated and approved/active. I would have to imagine yes in some cases, though I know Niantic will never confirm.
-
Yep, there was a whole thing last year where a bunch of people got punished for selecting these influencing description edits. Niantic has explicitly said it is abuse of the location and description edit functions. Just use the report abuse button that you see at the bottom of the page.
-
Now this is a thing. Someone's supporting photo.
-
So you never got an answer about the first one even except the canned "we can't tell you why" response?
-
Here is a theory...and since Niantic hasn't confirmed any of the reasons behind the rejection reasons, it's just speculation. As far as I know, hookah lounges aren't expressly forbidden (but correct me if I'm wrong). To me, a hookah lounge is analogous to a bar, as they are both places to gather and socialize. A vape/smoke…
-
Nothing special about it, just a typical liquor store. Here is a photo from Google Maps contributions, and the wayspot's photo is about the same. This wayspot appeared in Pokemon Go within the past couple months, I believe, definitely within the past year. I don't think it was in Ingress only before that. I will try…
-
Both exercise and historical, sounds great. Based on your previous rejection reason, I would definitely add that the avenues go around the estate but not on PRP. In fact, you could add everything you just told me to the description and supplemental, as applicable. The supplemental especially has such a high character…
-
I think this would be a good wayspot. There are some great facts in your supplemental info. I think those could all go in the description. I am a bit confused about the placement of the sign. Are the Avenues behind the large black fence? If so, I can kind of see why someone might pick the PRP rejection, so you could…
-
Similarly, this liquor store in my area got approved somehow. Even without the "adult-oriented" rejection criterion, I can't really see what would make it a good wayspot. However, none of the invalid wayspot report reasons seem applicable. https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=41.965151,-87.668519&z=18&pll=41.965168,-87.666577

If LFLs on private residential property are reported with an invalid wayspot report, Niantic will remove the wayspot.
-
It doesn't matter if they have a "charter" or not. Niantic has not said "Only accept little free libraries that have a charter registration," so whether they do or not is 0% relevant when reviewing on Wayfarer. What matters is if they meet any of Niantic's rejection criteria (on private residential property, at a K-12…
-
No, it doesn't. Reviewers should not reject on the basis of the supplemental photo unless the submitter is identifiable or the photo contains a codeword or code symbol. A codeword or symbol is something that signals certain reviewers to accept a nomination, like if a trainer wants to tell their group "this nomination came…
-
The criteria are "a great place to explore, exercise, or socialize." What criteria would the gas stations or subdivision sign meet?
-
Nowhere does the LFL mission statement say that LFLs are meant for suburbs? Also, each wayspot must be independently assessed for safe pedestrian access. How "big, scary, and dangerous" you think the downtown area of a nomination is is completely irrelevant for Wayfarer. If it has safe pedestrian access (and doesn't meet…
-
There is a case for 5* even without Google Street view or satellite view that I hope you will consider. Sometimes, submitters include a link that is authoritative in the context of the submission, such as a government or park district website for a playground or nature preserve, artist's social media for a mural, or…
-
You can withdraw the ones that are in queue, but not in voting. Some people have nominations that have been in voting for over two years, unfortunately.

When I go to zoos (maybe once a year at most), I see guests who are clearly there just for the "entertainment" value and others who are visiting for the "educational" value. Over the history of zoos, the "spectacle" and "exoticness" of it and flaunting wealth have been a prominent aspect. I found this quote on the National…
-
recently, Niantic in-house rejections have not been providing rejection reasons, so it looks like it was a community reviewer rejection. If this is just a sign advertising the museum and not an anchor for the museum itself, I agree with "other rejection criteria".
-
Was the pin you placed on the real location of the object?
-
My Russian is rather rusty, but it seems to be the coordinates for the port and town of Murmansk.
-
Agreements are only based on whether you accepted a wayspot that was ultimately accepted or whether you rejected a wayspot that was ultimately rejected. For rejected nominations, it doesn't depend on if your rejection reason matches the rejection reason that others picked, so don't worry about that. Some nominations have…
