I think I just got 3/4 of those exact noms you have listed before hopping on here to see if anyone else was getting a mad influx of cemeteries, war memorials, and memorial benches

What is the usual opinion about graveyards and voting? Is it okay to accept it if it’s a public graveyard? Or is the location sensitive? It sounds like sensitive location but there are so many graveyard nominations that i’m starting to question it
I would generally decline the cemetery/graveyard. Things in or around it depend on in the individual submission.

I’ve seen lots of cemetery nominations, and rejected the vast majority. The ones I have accepted were submissions that prove that the cemetery was currently unused, had unique historical value as, say, a tourist destination, and that the cemetery itself qualified under the Explore category. These submissions were well-worded and well-researched, each truly showing how the location itself met acceptance criteria.

Thank you a lot, i’ve skipped a lot of them not being sure what to do.
It’s probably rare to find many like @Shilfiell says.
Most of mine are like this
Those are pretty easy rejects if you don’t want to skip.

I’ve recently had these as well.
A huge spate of cemeteries and memorial benches where I can’t tell who the person is (if the submitter even bothers to include a name).
Yup, cemeteries have lessened for me, but now I am getting a flood of memorial benches. 90% of which are exact duplicates 
. At least those are easy submits.

Oh yeah…a lot of the memorial benches are BAD. If I can’t see the part that actually mentions who is memorialized, DENIED. I got a couple laughable ones too. Someone put a “memorial plate” at the base of a tree in their front yard. Another nom was a “memorial bench” (with no actual memorial inscription of any kind, it was just a generic concrete garden bench) in someone’s backyard. And another one was a collection of lawn gnomes and small random statuettes in a front yard that was listed as a “war memorial” 
. I almost spit up my coffee on that one.

never mention the cemeteries, or they’ll hunt you.
this topic title should come with a warning to not enter or you’ll get many cemeteries and benches as submission
I also had that last picture of you today, I rejected.
Oh boy I had that one too , I skip some of them not historical - I really don’t know what to do !

The community number seems a bit low? I know there was a day or so when nobody could review but it still seems less than other challenges. Unless the memory cheats?

Maybe a little lower but I think we should still easily pass the final community tier.
Not if you stop at 500 
It’s okay. I’ll get to 550 when we change to Germany. That should do it.
