What are the odds of 2 of my Wayspots appearing on the Featured Page at the same time? I’m in shock. These aren’t exactly top quality photos.

For better or worse, Featured Wayspots are never curated or selected via any metric of quality.
There’s no guarantee that they even reflect acceptance criteria. A soulless program chooses stuff from your ‘nearby’ recently approved stuff that may have been accepted by the community, the machine learning algorithm, a bot net, or the appeals staff.
Your nominations look solid, though, so congratulations and keep up the good work!

My guess is that you made it easy for people to accept them and they got very positive reviews!

Congrats! I also had one last week, and it’s still up this week:
I have noticed that if the nominations have been voted on by your review community, they seem to get featured more than those voted on by the upgrade community or approved via appeal. It’s been quite awhile since I actually had an approved Wayspot featured, so I was excited!

Submit top quality wayspots and you can sweep the whole thing. Achieve three for three!

Not always.
Fellow wayfinder means you dont want to show your name in nomination?
Yes that is what shows if a Pokemon Go player has chosen that setting. I don’t believe an Ingress player can hide their agent name:

I wouldn’t class my nominations as top quality. 
Its eligible. Thats all that matter. I think,the point of featured wayspot is to show other reviewer whats being approved recently
Even if it is a submission from Ingress, the name will not show up in Wayfarer.
However, it will still be displayed in Ingress.
I tested it myself when a submission of mine that I wasn’t proud of made it into the showcase.
