Unable to Appeal against the refusal of two of my newly created Waypoints.
Please advise.
One is called a groyne but was refused as Temporary and a business. It is wrong on both counts. It is the site of an old business long gone but still marked on the map. The Groyne forms part of the Duver Beach sea defences with a popular footpath on the top of the wall.

You get 2 appeals, each on a 20 day counter before you can use them again. You may just have to wait for the button to come back to appeal.
If you would like to post screenshots of the rejected nominations, we could offer you advice on either a resubmission or an appeal.
Thanks for posting. I would say I would agree with the rejections for both. The first is really just infrastructure. It’s a concrete form to prevent beach erosion so I don’t see how it fits any of the criteria of a great place to exercise, to explore, or to socialize.
For me, the same is really true of the second nomination as well although in addition, since it’s out in the water, it’s also not accessible for most pedestrians.
Perhaps you can create better arguments for why either or both of these meets one of the three eligibility criteria, but it’s not obvious to me.
Okay for the appealed one, I don’t see anything wrong about their decision. It seems like the breakwater is not something that is a great place for exercise, exploration, or being social to me. If you still think it is, then try a new submission with a photo that is more focused on the object with less background - I can barely see it. If there is a sign, that can be a great focal point and can make it more clear that this is a great destination.
For the rejected one, I think those reasons were trying to tell you that this wasn’t anything remarkable or “Distinct” to explore, and the incorrect use of “Generic business” to mean something is “Generic” is why we asked for that reason to be removed. I see you say that this is a popular area for dog walking or recreation, but how does this Groyne meet criteria? The photo is great, but I don’t see how this meets criteria, and would not recommend an appeal, unless you have something to add that you think is convincing.
TY for your input
