Hey, I would like to ask for clarification regarding my recent Wayfarer nominations.
All of my recent 8 submissions are being automatically rejected with the message:
“This nomination was automatically rejected because it does not meet the Wayfarer criteria.”
These nominations never seem to reach community review, which makes it difficult to understand what exactly needs to be improved.
Here is one example of a nomination that got automatically rejected.
Title: Religiöses Steinrelief
Description: Betende Frau über einem Baby Symbol für Schutz, Fürsorge und Glauben.
Supplemental Information: Dieses Steinrelief zeigt eine betende Frau über einem Baby. Besonders sind die feinen Details in Figuren und Kleidung, die religiöse Symbolik und traditionelle Handwerkskunst deutlich machen.
Here is another one that got rejected:
Title: Altes Fass Transportgerät
Description: Historische Schubkarre mit einem Fass auf Holzrad. Das Objekt zeigt traditionelle Handwerkskunst und Transporttechnik aus früheren Zeiten.
Supplemental Information: Diese historische Schubkarre mit Fass auf Holzrad ist ein anschauliches Beispiel traditioneller Handwerkskunst und alter Transporttechnik. Sie ist dauerhaft installiert, öffentlich zugänglich und sicher besuchbar. Das Objekt vermittelt Einblicke in regionale Geschichte und Kultur und bereichert das Ortsbild für Besucher.
I’m only showing two examples her to illustrate the issue, as showing all 8 would be too much. The other submissions included wall paintings and metal artwork on walls, and they were all automatically rejected as well.
In my opinion, all these locations are safe, accessible via footpaths, and permanent installations, yet they were rejected automatically. It is quite disappointing, as I put a lot of effort into improving a small village with limited active players for the local community, only to have my submissions rejected automatically.
I feel somewhat helpless, because filing an appeal for each individual Wayfarer submission would take far too long. With all 8 submissions being automatically rejected, it is very difficult to address the issue one by one.
If you need any additional information or photos, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read this long message, and I hope for your guidance and support!
Update
One of my nominations, the wall relief, got now Appeal Accepted and approved. This shows that the nomination itself met the criteria and was valid. Unfortunately that means I now have to resubmit everything.
