"Appeal Not Accepted" Reason is incorrect for a nomination

  • Wayspot Title: TSTC Fort Bend Flag Poles
  • Location (lat/lon): 29°32’04.4"N 95°47’07.1"W
  • City: Rosenberg
  • Country: Texas
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):
  • Additional Information (if any):" Reviewers provided these top reasons for not accepting this submission: The nomination object does not have a pedestrian pathway that leads all the way to the object"

I believe the reviewer for this appeal did not do their due diligence. If you look at the google map screen shot there is most definitely a side walk that both leads to and surrounds the flag poles.

Can you share your complete nomination (rejection reason, photo, surrounding photo, supporting information)

Anyway wayspot appeal is not for appealing rejected nomination.

Flagpoles are typically not eligible. That rejection reason seems wrong, but the rejection of the appeal appears correct on the surface.

I realize now this is not the right spot for this post. If a mod would be so kind as to move it to the correct location that would be appreciated.

The original rejection reason was it was either not permanent or distinct.

This is what I would have chosen, too. Flagpoles are mass produced and you see them everywhere. If I submit something with flags, I make a case as to why these are a unique place to visit. I do see that you attempted to do that in the supporting statement, which is more than most do. The ones I accept personally as a reviewer are normally part of a memorial display with a dedication. Does this have anything like that? Or is there documentation of the ceremony attached? (fyi, your supporting photo should include the object you are submitting, too, but this was a good attempt at showing the safe pedestrian access to the area.)

I am unsure. I will have to inspect the area further before I resubmit.

I try to be detailed when submitting supporting documentation. My work background has drilled that into me for submitting paperwork. I’ll make sure to capture the subject on future submissions.

I looked around this area, and there should be poi eligible on a campus. Since the map I usually use (iitc for Ingress portals) no longer updates since Ingress was not included in the sale to Scopely, I can’t really check for what is in game recently. If this entrance sign hasn’t been, I would recommend submitting this


and depending on what it is for, maybe this building

There isn’t any street view through there, or I would make more suggestions.

I’ve had one rejected for the building because of license plates in the picture. I just need to resubmit it. The buildings architecture is quite nice. I have pictures for the sign. I just need to submit the nomination. Time and priorities have been an obstacle lately.
