If you’re in a hurry, you can just take your 2 pictures with your regular phone camera app - main and support, and submit later if you are still within 10km, selecting “use existing picture” when images are required

You can also do a really quick submission, and place it on hold, then edit all the text when home to improve it before releasing the hold

But basically if you dont have time to take 2 pictures, probably just come back another time because it really harms the chances of the submission

Agreed, using the same image twice is bad practise and makes it look like you are trying to hide something.

Also the low effort descriptions are unappealing, surely there is a lot more to say about these places, their history, what they are used for, and so on. Supporting information seems sparse also.

I wouldn’t call these things abuse but they certainly won’t help your chances, the more effort you put in, and the easier you make it for reviewers the better. There may be something else going on here that isn’t obvious to have all of these marked in this way. Only a Wayfarer staff member will have access to that internal information.

Sometimes things get rejected for any reason and the reason shown doesn’t make much sense, although since there are so many of these it makes sense that they were flagged for some reason. I can see why some were rejected though.

I definitely think taking a little more time (moslty when home) to improve the nominations will help this not to happen in future

I would recommend not appealing these as they are - I would say re-submit with better pictures and better descriptions. Include proper support pics, nice views of the buildings from the best angle, and no car license plates or people’s faces where possible

Are these all your own photos that you took yourself?
