How to edit an appeal?

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Faubourg
  • Location (lat/lon):
  • City: weehawken nj
  • Country: usa
  • Additional Information (if any): hello - the wayspot was rejected for orientation and generic business. i wasnt entirely sure how to address this in my original appeal but i would like to add some clarification and i dont know how to add that.
    1- the orientation, i believe the photo orientation is correct but if this needs to be updated i can easily fix that please advise what the correct way to orient the photo would be

2- the ‘generic business’ i do not believe that the business is generic. to add some context, faubourg is a modern french restaurant that is unique to north jersey, the flagship location having been opened by a hospitality duo from NYC and is one of NJ best restaurants and community spots for food, brunch, and spending time with friends. it has been rated top restaurant in NJ as well. i do believe this is a unique place that just opened in our community and is a lovely place to gather and stop by while walking along the river pathway.

perhaps i didnt include enough detail? or perhaps the pictures could be better. please advise, thank you!


Welcome to the forum @axforts

When I submit a restaurant, I make clear why this is more than just another place to eat. I put specialties of the house, or awards they have won in the description, and provide links in my supporting statement to prove what I say.

I know the prompt asks you why this would be a good Pokestop, but actually you should explain why it would be a good wayspot and not mention Pokemon Go at all. Explain why this meets one of the three criteria

  • A great place for exploration
  • A great place for exercise
  • A great place to be social with others

and provide proof.

Even then, reviewers love to hit that “Generic business” rejection, and I usually have to appeal them. Except when ML was accepting nominations.

Oh, and you can’t edit the appeal once you have sent it. If they reject the appeal, you can still resubmit as a new nomination. They will give you an idea in a rejection of what they think you need to improve.
