Whoever is making the decisions to reject changes to pokestops needs to be removed. I submitted a name change AND provided a picture of the name change of a building, which should have been more than enough evidence to be accepted, and it was still rejected. This is why i stopped playing the game in the first place. The system is ridiculous.
Welcome to the forum.
Were these changes rejected very quickly? If so, it may have been the Machine Learning that rejected them, rather than a human being. Wayfarer has Machine Learning that has been trained how to accept and reject certain things, but it does sometimes make mistakes.
Would you mind sharing a few more details about what exactly you were submitting? Screenshots may be useful.

It’s also may help to understand that if you’re submitting this through the games, the community reviewers won’t see the text & photo edits “coupled.” You may need to submit the photo, get it upvoted to the primary photo, and then submit the associated text.

Welcome to the forum @northernick !
Niantic considers purposing a Wayspot to be abuse if you are trying to change something from a non-existent business to the current one. The correct procedure is to report the old Wayspot for removal, and submit the new business if it meets criteria. I know this causes havoc to remove a game location.
If your edit was just a correction to the title and not a complete change, you can appeal the decision from your contributions page. You get 2 appeals, each with a 20 day timer before you can use it again.
