So I’m finding this to sadly be a regular occurrence of having nominations rejected for illegitimate reasons. My most recent rejection is this [IMG_9004] [IMG_9005] Woodlands Recreation Park and Playing Fields. The clue is in the name straight from the start. And if you see clearly on the secon…

Sign-less parks are difficult nominations. Make sure to correct the spelling in the description. The view that most clearly says “park entrance” to me would probably be one of the sides of this path: [IMG_7989]

See, i told you. Looks like there’s a bot review has make wrong reason in Generic Business, we need for investigate to busted out bot/bad reviewer. You can use appeal if you want.

An appeals been lodged, hopefully it’ll get corrected. But sadly I’ve still had perfectly reasonable nominations rejected on appeal also

Hi there, thanks for the information and input. I’ve just noticed the typo in the description so I’ll get that edited! Sadly though for everything that’s been said, and the advice it still doesn’t explain why it’s been rejected due to it being a “Generic Business”. I also get that signless parks/re…

The two options are in different sections of the review page, so it could be that the reviewers were looking for one, didn’t find it where they expected to find it, a…

Hi there, it was a community decision! Would be interesting to get @NianticAaron view on this as stated above from others it meet the criteria as a nomination

It saying “the park” on the map wouldn’t help as anyone can name something on google maps. Me personally i wouldn’t accept it as its just a field, it doesnt even have a bench so its most likely being left alone like that so the council can say that there meeting the greenspace requirements (somethin…

I guess this is where perception and interpretation come into the whole reviewing. Although classed as a green space the area “The Park” is used regularly as a recreational area for a variety of things. And yes you’re right anyone can changes name on google etc, but that’s going to extreme lengths…

Where im from in the uk these big fields would always have football posts, benches, play areas and the ones that dont are about half the size of this one and you usually see kids playing football by using there bags as goal posts and dog walkers going around the edge of it to make it a long walk. Wo…

Was this a “community” decision or an “our team” one from the email? They have stated here before that “generic business” is not reflecting what they actually meant on “our team” reviews. But they didn’t say what it does mean.
