Ok, not asking for an appeal, but trying to understand the rejection reason. [image] [image] The said postbox can be seen on Streetview as is. [image] The following link was added to the supplimental information to show that this is a valid postbox. Ludlows Peripanetic filtered …

I don’t know. None of the reasons provided are true, but those reasons may be coupled with others in the review flow (like permanent or distinct). Sometimes, I think reviewers experience a negative visceral reaction to the primary photo. They subsequently click wildly on the question marks until th…

Seems like you did most things correctly, researched, provided evidence and so on. It’s often a struggle to make sense of the rejection reasons, much of the time they don’t mirror reality or provide useful feedback. This is clearly permanent and appears on streetview to prove it. This seems like a …

I will need to wait for an appeal to be available for me to request. I don’t want resubmit for it to be rejected again.

Also, you may want to think about why people would care about the item. If it is historic or unique, put that upfront. There are functioning postal boxes in many places (although fewer all the time) but that does not make them good wayspots.

I sometimes shorthand King George Rex V postboxes as GR5 or GRV postboxes, because they are quite common. But a King Edward VII postbox without the VII isn’t that common, which is why I made an extra bit of effort to put the name in full.

Keep in mind reviewers can be from anywhere and may not know local acceptance practices.

Unless the nomination has been upgraded, the reviewers would be reasonably local. Can’t remember the exact area, but it’s unlikely to be global. If people are putting South England as their home or bonus location, they would be few and far between.

Yeah luckily with the UK we really only get people from the same country reviewing, maybe the odd French person. This is just a case of people not reading the nomination before voting

Please help me make sense of this rejection
