Hello!
I am new to Wayfarer but I have already started reviewing and submitting nominations and already have 3 that have been approved. Just wanted to know if there is a renewed guide or tutorial or video for clarifying the categories when reviewing a nomination. E.g. If its a graffiti but its vandalism under which category and step choices you have to make to categorize it as such. Or its not significant or interest. Thank you in advance! Keep exploring!
Hello and welcome @Meando
It’s great to hear you are enjoying wayfarer with submitting and reviewing.
I would recommend the information in the criteria clarifications as a great resource
A lot will depend on where you live as to what you might see that is causing you to wonder about how to review specific nominations.
Please do feel free to ask questions or raise examples of the sort of things you are unclear about.
The video and descriptions in Wayfarer Help Center under the topic Reviewing a Wayspot Nomination seems outdated and inaccurate, showing probably a previous format of the Review page for nominations, and not detailed in explaining each category this is the link for tha page I am talking about: https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/21-wayfarer/faq/2059-reviewing-a-wayspot-nomination/?l=en&p=web. Yes I have looked around in Review support and found some important information but not a complete ‘guide’.
Mainly things that are not important I am wondering, do they fall in the category Explore?
Thanks I shall look into what you are drawing to our attention.
Would you like to give some examples of the types of things you are unsure of under explore?
Graffiti that’s its too deformed from other graffitis or its too simple, a street item thats not importan or unique. Do I downvote under Explore to show that its not interesting or important. I apologize if I am not making my self too clear.
That’s ok you are being clear.
Grafitti or street art can be a judgement call.
If it looks like it’s the sort that is not allowed and will be removed or painted over then it should be rejected.
How to reject something in review is not as obvious as it should be in my view.
Niantic staff have said that if you consider tga a nomination overall should be rejected it is important to 
on one of the first 4 questions.
Often vandalism graffiti can be rejected as temporary or if the description title gives what you judge to be the wrong impression of what it is then that may be suitable.
But to ensure your vote is to reject one of those 4 questions needs a
There is no need then to decide anything under the socialise, exercise or explore categories.
Does this help?

Yes, so if you feel that it should be rejected and not a matter of opinion then one of the first 4 categories should be downvoted which all end the review process and yes propably vandalism falls under the Permanent and Distinct category and I have been doing that but was not sure about it that’s why I started the topic. Thank you for your time and opinion on the matter. Have a nice day!
