Hiya
This is my first time posting about this, but I wanted to check why some of these stops were rejected and what I could/should do differently. These are three nominations that were rejected that I don’t see why.
The lamp was rejected by bot/staff, I appealed and they stayed with it. The other two I think were auto-rejected by the bot, but again I have no idea why?
Thanks for any advice in advance!

This is a new and prominent piece of street art in the area! The jericho neighbourhood has a thriving arts sector and a strongly engaged local community, that has put several different art pieces and sculptures up over the past year, and i believe these should be highlighted and appreciated!
Wayspot Submission for Quad Rewilding Zone
APPEAL
England
NOT ACCEPTED

Rejection Criteria
Wayfarer criteria
Description
Introduced in 2022 as part of collegic environmental efforts, the once immaculately kept grasses of the St Anne’s quad (short for quadrangle) grow wild with native grasses and wildflowers, in an effort to increase biodiversity.
Location
5 Bevington Rd, Oxford OX2 6NB, UK
Supplemental Information
On the St Annes Oxford Campus, part of oxford university - the college is free to visit and walk around for all during daylight hours. Many other pokestops also on campus. The rewilding zone is the bit with the taller, uncut grass in the second photo, or the bit with the flowers in the first. This is a really beautiful zone, but also unique - very few colleges allow this kind of biodviersity, with most keeping grass pristine and ecologically sterile. Hence, I think the potential of this programme should be highlighted!
