Is it normal for nominations to go from in voting for a couple of days to under review?
Seen post saying it goes from in queue to under review, but not much on this
I wouldn’t call it normal, but have had it happen as well. Niantic can pull any reviews. I wish we had more clarity as to whether the community reviewers can still get an agreement when “our team” decides it.

Here is one that happened to for me:
I am not concerned. I assume they are doing a quality check or training the ML (machine learning ai) model.

Should I be concerned that ALL my nominations (I think even edits) are going to staff-review lately? Have I done something wrong, that they’re watching me? 
Or are they just being more active?
I have had a good deals of my edits go into staff review, and it tends to be after a certain amount of time, usually a couple of weeks. Some though do go into staff review after 24 hours once ML has looked at them.
I think a mix of a couple things may be happening here. 1st, there is the quality control to make sure that ML is doing its job. 2nd, I think they want to keep the timeframe for resolution as low as possible, so they may be pulling submissions that have been sitting for a few weeks to resolve them faster.
I live in an area with not many reviewers, and I think a good deal pass on reviewing edits, hence why after a few weeks staff finish the review. I’m also one of the few in my area that actually submits edits, as it seems most users don’t care all that much about accuracy. None of these submissions are upgraded either, but I rarely use upgrades on edits.
Right now, I have a location edit that’s been in voting for a couple weeks now (submitted it on May 13th), and since then, I’ve had nominations and other submissions approved by my local review community, so if this one goes into staff review, I’m not going to be all that surprised.
Oh, yep. That all makes sense. I think my ones have been a mix of going straight into staff review, and starting in community voting for a bit, then going to staff. I’m in a main city, but I don’t think many people review (I have no idea really, just judging by the people who complain about reviewing LOL). It’s definitely better than it used to be - waiting months, even years for resolution 
My area typically votes quickly on nominations, but edits can take quite awhile. I’ve had some site for months before getting a resolution.
I also submit in rural areas around my city and in my hometown, where there are little to no reviewers. Almost all of those edits have sat for months before resolution, but now they tend to get staff reviewed after a few weeks.
