  • I think the flowerbed might scrape through if it had some flowers in and your emphasised the community garden aspect of it. Poking around, I note that the Old Kirk might have a couple of additional wayspots - I see that the present church lies to the northeast of the village, but the Wayspot you can see here is also…
  • If you post some examples here along with the rejection email we might be able to help.
  • Looks like an AI rejection from the timing, there are plenty of these about. My guess is that it's some of the visual clutter which is triggering Emily. In the main photo I can see a wall, utility box and cars which might be triggering the rejection. To be honest, it looks like a hard thing to photograph without those.…
  • I would try again, but as others have said - memorial plaques for non-notable people are generally not distinct. However, I think this one is lovely and perhaps you could spin the submission slightly differently - "Win and Len's Favourite Spot". If you could find out who they were then that might be a good addition to the…
  • No upgrades, new wayspots typically take about a week to be processed in my area.
  • Maybe pick a different photo for the golf course, a placename sign would be great but generally it works best if you try to anchor the wayspot on some distinct object.
  • I don't think they share an entrance, there's a PDF here showing it better: http://www.gccdevelopments.co.uk/completed-developments/st-margarets-church-lidlington/index.html My argument is that these are three single family properties that are adjacent (like a terrace), rather than three properties behind one door.
  • For a trail marker you'd normally expect to see the name of the trail, or at least some evidence that there was one. This simply seems to be pointing to the forest. Looks like it might also be on private property.
  • Single family residences are ineligible, an apartment block is potentially eligible... I guess because it theoretically has some sort of shared non-private area, for example the entrance or a communal area. I do like the explanation with the windows, if you could get a look inside then that would also be strong evidence.…
  • It looks potentially valid, but I looking at it on StreetView, it looks like it may be a single-residence property. For flats you would probably expect to see multiple mailboxes and doorbells, although I appreciate these may be inside. Also the building to the left of the main entrance appears to be part of the same…
  • Without seeing your submission it would be difficult to give a prognosis. I see that the pub is here - https://maps.app.goo.gl/DJpZrwpnEinw6TzUA - when I check the Ingress Intel map I can see a portal with the following photo. Is it your submission? Looking at the pub, I appreciate that it is a pub but it very much looks…
  • It looks fine to me, I might suggest a tighter crop to the sign itself to remove the surrounding area.
  • It looks like a simple directional sign to me, not the sort of thing that would be eligible. Or am I mistaken?
  • Agree with HankWolfman, this would be better if you can find a sign else it looks like a generic office building. There's no StreetView here (it's rare in Germany) but I can see the venue name on Google Maps which is worth stressing in the supporting text - https://maps.app.goo.gl/e3WU3hKoMbtfYMtQ6 Taking the picture from…
  • There were the scare stories when PoGo came out, that paedophiles would work out where supposedly rare Pokemon were spawning and then hang around there waiting for kids to turn up. That didn't happen. Playing PoGo or Ingress does not turn you into a child abuser. Schools are already not allowed, and also other locations…
  • Private residential property is certainly something that would stop it being eligible. But that's probably not what led to the auto-rejection. It's a difficult thing to photo from the street, from the point of view of the AI it looks like a brick wall, some bits of wall, a drainpipe and a street lamp. It's also grainy due…
  • This is true, but some reviewers may incorrectly reject based on those things in the supporting photo. If your wayspot is marginal, then removing or blurring them might give it an extra nudge.
  • #1 is private property, no not acceptable. #2 looks like a natural feature, even if it is artificially created. Natural features are not eligible wayspots. If there's some sign or nature board then that could be eligible. #3 would be a hard push to be considered as "decorative seating". Looking at it on StreetView I can…
  • My understanding of UK law - and obviously laws will be different in other countries - is that such an object gives an implied right of access. So, for example, if you put up a jam stall, lemonade stand, charity collection for someone sitting in a bath full of baked beans etc then it is acceptable for the public to enter…
  • I did one with a picture of the goals before they were set up, although to be fair the wayspot already existed..
  • I Googled it and found that there are several sources backing up the claim that it's a football field, including Wikipedia.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latchmere_Recreation_Ground,_Kingston_upon_Thames Of course you could just lurk around for the moment between the goals going up and the players coming on and take a…
  • I think I'll echo some others here, it's an interesting historic building and probably still eligible unless it gets turned into something none-eligible. So a restaurant, bar or even a block of flats is still potentially eligible.
  • Lots of things on privately owned property are valid wayspots, where the public are allowed in (for example, shopping centres, visitor attractions). Many trail markers are also on private property, but the public is allowed to access them. These are the rejection criteria:…
  • Remember that different games interact with wayspots in different ways. In PoGo there's no real reason to get closer than 80 metres from the stop, but in Ingress sometimes you need to get directly on top of the portal. Also consider the intrusion if some even happens at a wayspot that draws a crowd, I have seen dozens of…
  • Gas lamp 100%, I should imagine that those warning signs are dotted all over the park and are not distinct. There's also a VR Wall Box which is likely eligible, and an interesting plaque I can't quite read underneath the one with the close-up. I maybe wouldn't take a supporting picture when the "Deer cull - firearms in use…
  • Daventry Crunchie Park? I would simply try it again, sometimes I get edits rejected that baffle me and a resubmission usually works.. or gets stuck in the queue.
  • I think this is an obviously eligible wayspot, but there are some things that can be done to improve it. However, there's one big problem - I found the synagogue you were talking about (see https://maps.app.goo.gl/dMyTrSQxtVabf6sz8) and it looks great and even has its own Wikipedia page at Rear Synagogue (Třebíč) -…
  • I had one accepted instantly too. Must be the AI.
  • Looking across the road, there's an interesting building with some positive murals on it (if you ignore the sectarian graffiti).. ..those murals are likely eligible. There's a Community Association building nearby with a community noticeboard, either might be eligible.. Across the road from that is an interesting communal…
  • Yes, this 100%. The complaints we are seeing about trailmarkers seem to come from the Netherlands and Flanders, and I think are probably caught up in the whole "bad wayspots in the Netherlands" thing. Because both those regions speak essentially the same language, it could simply be something being triggered on keywords,…
