Man, you almost got me excited. My mother was friends as a young woman with a Peggy Mitchell. But the birth date is a decade too recent to be my mother’s friend.
Maybe? I’ve seen a lot of crap approved in both Europe and Japan though which would never be approved in the States. So what’s defined as “crap” may be relative depending on your location. America has a lot of coal too but then we don’t have Europe’s history.
so why do we get the same stuff all over again?
Its cemeterys and other things, duplicates, benches and other stuff.
I cant believe that these have been put into the system that many times.
But this is American football, not football football. Is even American football off-limits in Scotland?
Oh, I got that UGA submission as well, and rejected it. Not a mural, and some of the items could be temporary, or even moved. UGA is short of University of Georgia, for anyone wondering.
There are teams and I think it was moderately successful for a bit.
I always found college level way more interesting, not the game particularly, I don’t think I could bring myself to watch more than 15 minutes of an NFL game but the college fans are a breed unto themselves
And yes, we get a lot of benches, especially memorial ones. The cemeteries and places at cemeteries are less frequent, but this review has shown quite a lot of nominations and edits in the queues.
We need another one of these challenges, covering the USA again, but not until we get the delete option and time to remove edits that are in voting/queue that have already got a verdict.
Usually not for cemeteries. I wonder if these were submissions that Niantic reviewed first, then allowed to go into the regular queues. Memorial places (bench, tree, etc), I get several a day while reviewing. Cemeteries maybe a few times a week.
I say we don’t and these have either purposely been held back or skipped and such, because some are just not obvious to how to review them with the new system. I wonder if some people don’t realize you can ‘thumbs down’ or choose ‘I don’t know’ on ‘Accuracy’ category too. If you pick ‘I dont know’ you can choose ‘Location’, bad photo, bad description, bad title or a box to write in your own custom reason.
Well I have 2 location edits. The first was off the POI was 15 feet and I have moved it to be directly on the POI in the center. The cells would have changed which is true. Easily verified on google satellite. The edit was denied. The second edit was a lookout on a network of trails that’s off by 20+ meters. That was also denied although this one was won’t show on google maps or satellite due to the trees. Within the same park, I have one title edit to a footbridge. The original title of the footbridge is generic (park-ish name) in the name and also misspelled. I used the title of the trail it runs on similar to the other 20 or so footbridge in the park. But denied because ya’ll like misspellings and bad titles. Either that or just in a rush to get your review quota in. I guess we’ll add these edits back to the heap and let them sit for another 2+ years.
I am surprised your location edit to the easily visible spot would be denied. I was surprised by how many location edits I reviewed that were away from the actual wayspot. Moving to the edge of the ball field or to the entrance etc makes sense, but physically away from the sculpture or object seems abusive to me. Hopefully the next submission you get it approved. The other option is appealing it, but with only 2 appeals every 20 days that can be used easily, depending on how often you are editing.
Regarding your larger move I assume since it was >10m you did that via help chat. For the most part I have not had any issues with that. (There were a few edit issues and my fight over one memorial table )
I get geotagged photos and video when I am out. I do a 360 video and compress it to under the limit of 25MB. I upload it all at the time I put my request through and I also provide the coordinates based off a comparison between my gps location done at the time which I keep in a note on my phone and compare it to my geotagged photo since often tree cover might affect your phone.
I have done a lot of location edits since the current locations are used abusively in my area either as anchors that are in inappropriate and inaccurate spots or to ensure more stops/gyms in pokemon. So I have lots of experience with corrections. Typically I always have something on the go with help chat. Although, am on a break doing wayfarer reviews so bit backlogged waiting on my own location edit submissions to be reviewed once this challenge is done.
