Hello, I just got this perfectly fine Nomination (in my opinion) rejected by the community for these top reasons. The description seems perfectly accurate to me. And the not permanent is standard for every nomination I submit, because probably the reviewers hate me for asking so much wayspots (yes, I did see a pattern)
Please help me understand why this was rejected, and if I should appeal it.
“Perfectly fine” does not tell me how you think this meets the criteria of a great place to exercise, explore, or be social. There is a clarification that shopping centers can be eligible, but not that they should be accepted. Also,
I don’t see a statement from you as to how you think a second entrance to a shopping center meets criteria.
To address the specific rejection reasons we may need someone who can read this in the original. The reasons are translating for me to:
The description contains spelling errors, grammatical errors, or is inaccurate
The submission is unlikely to be permanent
I don’t understand the first reason, but the second is probably a rejection for not being something that is “Distinct” rather than being temporary.
Thanks for letting me know that I need a bit more of a description to make this one eligible (hopefully). I actually did not know that you needed this clarification for a shopping centre, it is also relieving to hear that the description is not inaccurate or has spelling errors, because I was surely surprised of that reason. I can make a much better description, can I post that here, so someboy can check it is enough for this wayspot?
And yes, the rejection reasons were correctly translated, I always see my nominations if rejected with this reason, because that is most simple for the reviewers, just to put it not distinct
This was the first entrance which I submitted, which almost had the same description, which is why I thought it was enough
This nomination was much better, it described the mall as a whole, which could genuinely be a great place to explore. The “entrance” nomination, on the other hand, makes it sound like you expect reviewers to believe that an entrance itself is a great place to explore. That’s one reason reviewers might choose the “bad title/description” rejection.
Just want to add that most shopping centers should only have 1 Wayspot for the entire shopping center, not multiple ones for each entrance. Larger area POIs should have 1 Wayspot for the entire area, then there can be additional Wayspots for anything that may meet criteria within.
The mall where I live has 1 Wayspot for the mal, but then several for other POIs, such as art pieces and a museum. And there is clarification on this here: Content Guidelines — Wayfarer Help Center
I found this to be a really useful answer. Thank you for this, it makes some sense now why it was rejected and I found this a beautful learning moment. Thank you.
Also very great to know, I will not be resubmitting this one then and will save my appeal if it comes available.
