Hello, I am fairly new here but I was very excited to add some new stops in my neighborhood. I made a couple of stops but they have been rejected. One of them is about a whole bunch of birdhouses in a cool formation. I have seen similar stops in other neighborhoods so I thought it was fine. It got…

Oh really? There are so many of them Here and I honestly like the idea of following the trail and having the stops indicating the route but maybe thats just me

Anything on the side of single-family private residential property (SFPRP) is ineligible and liable to get rejected. Some things in some areas get accepted anyway without issue, but that doesn’t make them eligible.

Hi there, Rule.of thumb is: never take already accepted Wayspots as rule compliant. As you are in the BeNeLux region, this hits you even more because there are still.a lot of ineligible nominations accepted from cheaters live in the database. That whole.things also lead to tiles also being general…

What do you mean by that whole thing making tiles rejected? Are tiles like this not okay?

There’s not a strong argument against them, but then being hard to control now makes them not ok

Ah okay, thanks for all the tips everyone. I definitely understand the birdhouses now! The tile one honestly still confuses me a bit since it’s part of a trail and in my head still seems like a Nice spot. But I am new to this so I will look for some other nice places I suppose!

There was a large abuse period in The Netherlands. The wayfarer bot (Emily) accepted almost anything those days and many not eligibel spots got through the system. Tiles like these and mosaic tiles were mass removed and made ineligible because of that. Unfortunately for us newer wayfinders, we don’t…

Netherlands-specific issues aside, I find that with trail markers it helps a lot if you find some supporting evidence to prove that they are notable. This can be a website of a park, local governemnt, some mapping service or anything else that shows the route and notability.

Oh thats a good tip! Can you place a link in the application on the part where you explain why you think its a good spot? Because I thought links to things were not allowed.

Can anyone please help me understand why my contributions were not accepted and the appeal refused?
