I appeal because there is pokemon stops for the middle and front entrance. (It’s right next to a PUBLIC SIDEWALK)

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

  • Wayspot Title: Woodlawn Cemetery west entrance
  • Location (lat/lon): 615 E Howard Avenue

42.97530, -87.90110

  • City: milwaukee WI
  • Country: USA
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

  • Additional Information (if any): (The location I have is right by a public sidewalk)There is some Pokemon stops on the east part and middle of the cemetery but it rejects my West side entrance which so many people walk by even on the sidewalk. It’s the back entrance that goes down the block to the front. It should be accepted please help.
  • If you don’t see graves it shouldn’t be a big deal to simply walk past

Welcome to the forum @rainypaws

You can’t appeal rejected nominations on the forum. You need to use the appeal option within wayfarer itself by going to your contributions tab and tapping the nomination in question, and then using the appeal button at the top:

That being said, I wouldn’t appeal this nomination. Cemeteries themselves do not typically make for good wayspots, as they fall foul of the rejection criteria for being a sensitive location. I can appreciate that it might be confusing if some of the other entrances have already been accepted, but they could be old wayspots from when criteria was a little bit different.

There are some things that can be eligible and located within a cemetery, but generally the cemetery itself (or an entrance to it) will not meet the eligibility criteria.

Welcome to the forum!

Here is that clarification on cemeteries:

Then the other locations should be removed
It’s right next to a popular public sidewalk

You can report them for removal. It is easy to do from the Wayfarer Map now. Removal criteria is for internal use and does not seem to be the same as acceptance criteria, so Niantic may or may not accept the report.

None of it makes sense. People are always walking on that public sidewalk right past the one I posted.

Did you read the clarification? It is disrespectful and insensitive to use a place of mourning as a game location. Walking past it is not the same.

That is my point right next to a public sidewalk.

I do not make the criteria, I just pointed you to it. If you want to ask Niantic directly, you can appeal.

fyi, you get two appeals, each on a 15 day counter before you can use it again.

The pin is along the driveway for cemetery and the public sidewalk where I see many people everyday walking their dog.
