Few questions

Nomination Support

Hey, I have (another) several questions about wether or not these could become wayspots ( + 1 about location edit)

  1. There is a mall (coords: 32.171544, 34.927842) which already got an entrance wayspot, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to make one in the mall itself (spesifically in the main area)
    green dot - where the current wayspot exists
    blue dot - where I want to create the additional wayspot
    grey lines - made the photo clearer (there were too many distractions, welcome to see them by yourself)

already existing -

the one I want to add -

I’m asking it because I know that normally there should be 1 wayspot marking the area and that entrances are fine as well, but I do think that it would be much better if the wayspot would actually be on the mall itself, would be more accurate than the entrance.
Since there is no way of removing the current one, I’m wondering if it’s worth sending additional one

  1. is it worth submitting this hanwashing sink?

I wonder because it could potentially meet criteria -
it’s a fine place to socialize with others (while going to wash the hands / food / other things),
there is a large picnic area near it (with 20+ picnic tables) so people could meet other people there while using the sink and help each other, it helps to create a common topic
plus it’s quite important (helps people get clean before / after eating food and such)
but I feel like it might fall into generic mess produced object

  1. There is a football field where the location of the wayspots dosen’t fit to the main photo:
    that’s the field:

    marked wayspot - current location
    the pin point - the correct location of where the photo was taken from

    but I feel like it could potentially count as abuse (even though it will be more accurate), so wanted to double check before trying to change the location
    should I try to move it?
    also for the future, do I need to create different posts on each of them? or can I send them together in one post like now?

1.the mall seems quite big. I think u can look inside if there is something else inside(art, playground, gaming stores, mural, fountain, etc)

2. Better nominate those picnic table. Handwashing sink is not eligible imho
3. You shouldnt move wayspot away from its real location it can be considered abuse. Correction is ok but moving wayspot to another empty cell is subject to abuse ladder system.
Anyway main photo doesnt have to match location for taking photo. Although both point seems valid imho

thank you!

Correction is ok but moving wayspot to another empty cell is subject to abuse ladder system.

so just to make sure, will it count as abuse to try change the location of the field to the more correct spot? it will still be on the field, just match the photo more accurately
(but will indeed put it in it’s own cell)

Anyway main photo doesnt have to match location for taking photo

also apparently there is a criteria for photo matching the right location (“The photo submitted is incorrectly oriented. For example, tilted or flipped”)

I believe any corner of the field is ok. Its still considered accurate as long u dont move it outside the field.. But to be safe u can use help chat bubble to move. So its niantic that do the move. I think u are trying to move the pin more than 10m if its football field

If the spot is already accurate, then yes, it may be seen as abuse to move the marker to a different point on the field. If you do a location edit, have a compelling and convincing reason why the move is a more accurate placement.

This excerpt on rejection pertains to how the photo/shot is taken.

The photos attributed to the wayspot should follow the Photo Guidelines. Pin placement is elaborated in Location Guidelines. For athletic fields and courts, the following is mentioned:
