I have made several nominations of the are I’m in, I made several nominations about 2 weeks before making this post and they are still in the queue, however I made another nomination 2 days prior to making this post and that nomination got a response. Does anyone know why this is ? Also Niantic or wayfarer is absolutely no help in this situation as it seems almost impossible to try and get a response out of them that’s not from a bot.
Please be patient. Many of us here have been using Wayfarer since the days when it took 2 years for a submission to finish the review process. So waiting 2 weeks is nothing in comparison.

Hello and welcome @JordanP46
This community based forum is a great place for support from your fellow wayfinders.
The time from submission to resolution varies.
Fortunately it is now overall a lot quicker, but a lot depends on what it is and where.
If you have 2 submissions very close, the community has observed that this can result in one nomination being held back whilst waiting for 5the other to resolve.
What status are the unresolved ones at in queue or in voting ?
You can help with the movement of the voting queue by doing some reviewing yourself.
If you reach a point where you have 100 reviews where the community has agreed with you as to whether to accept, reject or duplicate you can gain an upgrade which when applied will push one nomination to a wider pool of reviewers. This normally results in a quicker resolution.

Giving details of the waypoints including the gps coordinates (find in the first email that you received when you nominated) we may be able to offer better suggestions to what is happening.
Good luck.

Please remain polite on this forum. Being sarcastic towards someone who is providing valid information is not necessary.
Thanks for your feedback, some of them are still in queue, others are now in voting(which happened just recently) but it is spread out, earlier submissions are still in queue, others in voting, creating a “sandwich” with “in voting” and “in queue”. I am also making submissions in an area where there are literally 0 pokestops or gyms visible in game. Hence the urgency and lack of “patience”
You still have to wait like everyone else.
fyi, there is currently a sync issue adding newly accepted pokestops to the game board.
wanted to mention since i can see how excited you are about adding them.

That is obviously a given and understandable, I don’t know why that gives a reason to be rude about it though, I’m simply asking questions and appreciate when someone gives authentic feedback, but throw a bit of ignorance in your answer and that gets me upset and causes me to be rude. You get what you give

No-one has been ignorant in their responses to you and all feedback has been genuine. It is possible to get a response that isn’t what you want or isn’t phrased how you would like, but - especially when you have already been warned (which you have) - responding negatively is unwarranted.
Everyone is going to see things through their own lens. When I read through your initial post, I see someone complaining about something that is not actually a problem. (Waiting 2 weeks is not outside the normal parameters of the Wayfarer process, and, in fact, represents a significant improvement compared to historical performance.)
You also indicated that “Niantic or wayfarer is absolutely no help … as it seems almost impossible to get a response out of them.” There’s no expectation that Niantic or wayfarer should do anything to help in this completely normal situation. As ambassadors, we are very keen to report problems to Niantic to get them to fix things. But we also have the job of telling people when the process is working normally and they need to reset their own expectations.
We ambos put a target on our backs when we tell people things they don’t want to hear. We are mature enough to not let it bother us.

Well personally i consider everything normal if it got resolved in within 1-2months. But this timeframe also depends on whats being nominated. Certain submission thats in grey area might took longer because many people skip it.
