I’m in the same boat, haha. Just doing my best without access to a computer. I’ve been using my phone and Google translate and haven’t had any major issues so far. If I come across something that is utterly confusing or I can’t decipher what’s happening or Google Lens isn’t helping, I just skip it.
I do agree though that a built in translation tool and the other nifty plug-ins folks are using would be helpful as the default.
But these are clearly nominations from years ago something the robots can pick off and I deal with actual current nominations before they get stuck in voting for years too.
200 irrelevant bulletin boards because there is one per apartment block, 70 evacuation maps with one on each street in the town, 30 altars in the back or side garden of the rural house, playgrounds of dubious legitimacy and almost all duplicates with the same main waypot photo because it seems like they submit the same nomination multiple times. ZzzzzzZ.
It is normal that there is a general delay in reviews in Japan…
but caused by themselves…
I don’t think so. If these are nominations that are still in the system after being decided then we will not get agreements by rejecting or duplicating them
That’s what I’m worried about too. Maybe they accidentally assign reviewers even after approval, and so now we’re wasting our time marking tons of duplicates. At least I hope they won’t worsen the account rating
Wait, so you would reject an otherwise good waypoint even though a nominator went to the trouble to check out the website of the place? I’ve been adding links to my supplemental, so reviewers can see that what I’m talking about is real. Those web sites are not my own work… What do you want of us?
But they are using the exact same picture. Clearly spamming the nomination. Do they think it’s going to get rejected and they need to appeal everything.
I am wondering if its a glitch like I got a few days ago where I submitted something once, the AI approved it very fast, then a copy of the nomination remained “in voting” and I got a rejection today.
It can be a great idea to check the website when nominating, editing, or reviewing. This helps you gain a deeper understanding of the venue.
One of the obligations that falls upon a nominator/editor is to avoid plagiarism. Read stuff, look around, think about it, then use your own words. You needn’t turn into the next Shakespeare or Joyce, but you must not copy verbatim. Even the machine-learning program knows how to google your description and report you if your description is already on-line in connection with your Point of Interest.
My comment was specifically about edits that propose to discard the description of a specific place in favor of some quotes from the parent religion’s homepage. We are supposed to use our own words to tell what is special or interesting, even unique, about a place, not just copy the title and description from headquarters.
