You don’t know me. But if you’re in Jersey City for GoFest! We could meet up and I could buy you a cold drink! I don’t bite and I’m pretty charming. Seriously if you are going to go fest. We have a house full of people staying there and you are more than welcome to hang with us.
That is why I posted in here. I’m genuinely looking for constructive feedback.
It’s pretty hard to give feedback unless we see the full submission.
I haven’t written up the submission yet. I wanted to get feedback on the pics. Both should be posted above.
@seaprincesshnb How would YOU write the title and description?
1st, get a better main photo, one without the cars in it.
2nd, the original description had some irrelevant info. It’s a bus station that takes you from one place to another. Describe it as such. I don’t think there needs to be any notes of historical or cultural references.
3rd, if you want to put the city name in the title, put it at the end. Otherwise, I’d not include the city name in the title and include that in the description.
I think these are pretty similar to what was noted in October, so interesting that you’re asking again.
Write me a sample and I’ll use your suggestion word for word. Tomorrow morning with a different picture. You’re on the clock… GO!
No, you have to do that yourself. I’m not going to write something for you that you may actually use. That would be considered 3rd party text.
I don’t understand why you’re being weird about this, trying to hide behind the fact that this has been rejected before, and you were given some good recommendations previously.
I will 100% use it. That’s why I asked for help. I’ve written hundreds of nominations. 820 accepted.
Let me see what’cha got
3rd party text isn’t allowed. You know this. I will never write up a title and/or description for someone.
Not being weird at all. I’ll def get a different set of voter and it will most likely sail right through. Just because I’ve done this for years doesn’t mean I can’t ask for help. I don’t have all the answers.
Want to see what you would do, that’s all.
That’s fair if you don’t feel comfortable giving a suggestion. I’m going to take your advise and get a better pic in the AM.
And I won’t give you anything other that a suggestion.
Stop playing around. You know the guidelines, you know what you should do.
No need to get hostile. I don’t think that would break the ToS, but I get your point. I’ll come up with something that I think the voters will find acceptable. But the picture is a #protip and I thank you for that.
I think I’m going to mute this.
No, that would be breaking the ToS. 3rd party text, just like a 3rd party photo, is against the guidelines and could be seen as abusive.
Hi @BlameJamal
That’s a diffrent situation than last year where you’ve asked ‘resubmit or appeal’. Now you’re asking for suggestions how to sell it, for me that’s fine 
So here are coming my thoughts:
Title: Greyhound bus station, Charlotte (NC)
Description:
- Over 50 destinations from Charlotte
- main destinations like Washington
- well established network
(- service at the station?)
(- additional use like evacuations, bringing/taking packages)
(- something romantic)
I would say a bus station is similar to a train station, its a great place to help people explore and facilitates socialising by giving people a way to travel together or meet up.
So I would view this kind of nomination positively.
A single bus stop on the other hand, I wouldn’t say is as effective at meeting these critieria, so I would need convincing.
A bit late, but a general reminder about taking a deep breath before posting sometimes.
I have fond memories ( it was decades ago) of crossing the US on Greyhound buses with an Ameripass and sleeping in a seat😎. So basic starter is, this is highly eligible place.
I like the suggestions @AliceWonder1511 made.
I much prefer pictures at entrances.
So I think the photo needs a rethink.
The doctor tidied up this one previously
Most of this photo is building and tarmac. Why not a straight on shot at the entrance with a chunk of the door to illustrate it’s an entrance but letting that iconic greyhound dominate. Who wants to look at a sign with an address
I’m sure you will come up with something creative
but since this Charlotte’s greyhound station like @DTrain2002 i would include Charlotte in the title.Weave something into the description about the symbol and the speed of connecting people and places. Remember to keep it timeless ( “recent renovation”
)I would have thought in America the icon says it all. It’s close to 100 years old as far as I can tell.
Walk through these doors, where will the bus take you. America is your oyster, …. I don’t know you are much more creative with language but that is the sense of what this should be about.
I am truly surprised that it isnt already a wayspot.
Better act quickly or someone else could beat you to it.
Funny story!! I met @LachlanF here when he was on his tour through America a couple of year ago,. That’s the idea was struck to nominate the building as a POI, because he was sitting in Charlotte for hours waiting for his bus to take him to Texas.
I took this picture at the time, but I don’t it shows enough of the entrance.
