Appeal for rejected Wayspot nomination: Sprutthol

  • Wayspot Title:
    Sprutthol

  • Location (lat/lon):
    61.82628, -6.81125

  • City:
    Sandur, Sandoy

  • Country:
    Faroe Islands

  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email:
    Attached

  • Additional Information:
    I believe this nomination should be accepted because Sprutthol is a natural coastal landmark in Sandur on Sandoy. It is a local blowhole/splash hole where seawater is pushed through a natural opening and sprays upward when the waves are strong enough. This makes it a unique natural feature and a good place for exploration.

Sprutthol is also a recognizable local point of interest in Sandur and is connected to the coastal landscape of the village. It encourages people to explore the area and learn about a natural feature of the Faroe Islands. The nomination is not a generic object, temporary object, or private residential property.

The location is accurate, and the place can be safely viewed from the nearby publicly accessible area. For these reasons, I believe Sprutthol meets the Wayfarer criteria as a unique natural landmark and a place worth exploring.

Welcome to the forum.

The Wayspot Appeals category is not for appealing rejected nominations. You do that from your contributions page https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/nominations We get 2 appeals, each on a 15 day counter before we can use them again. If you do not have a button to appeal, then you do not have one available. There is no time limit before appealing, so you can either wait or resubmit.

If you would like advice from forum regulars about this nomination, you can share screenshots from that contributions page. It is difficult for me to understand what you have submitted from just the description.

Hello
I shall move this to Nomination Support support.

Is there any kind of sign there for this feature?
Is it possible to see your nomination in full please so we can see the issues.

It has a sign! For me, this is an eligible submission. Without the sign, it would be tricky to show that it is more than a hole in the ground :wink:

I wouldn’t submit just the sign, but the sign can be used as evidence.

If you want to post the details of your submission - title, description, supporting plus photos - forum members can advise whether Resubmit or Appeal is the way to go.

Hi, there is a sign, on it it says “Sprutthol” both the sign and the full nomination have been attached :slight_smile:
And how do I send it to the right place? It’s my first time posting something on here :smiley:




If you are not doing many nominations, then you could appeal.
Clicking on the appeal button opens a text box where you can e plain the context further. The reviewers thought it was a great place.
I would structure your text to point out again that this encourages exploration as it is a tourist attraction.
Any weblinks you can provide to back that up are helpful.
Draw attention to the fact there is a sign for this place, it may have been overlooked, but it is evidence of the importance of the blowhole.
All the time you are trying to focus on why this is a place to visit so keep your comments to that topic.
The appeal goes to Niantic reviewers.
Let us know how it goes.

If it doesn’t go well we can advise on some better photos etc.
