The Global Wayfarer Challenge helped make a big dent in Boston’s queue, but it was fascinating to see that Los Angeles, a city that is 1,200km2 with 4M people was cleared prior to Boston (125km2, 700k population) being cleared. Regrettably, the Global Challenge failed to completely clear Boston’s q…

[image] smantz0rZ: when I review I’m still not getting local nominations which is unsatisfying I almost never get to review for a town Ive even been to, let alone near where I live. Many are hundreds of miles away. Its definitely unsatisfying

Actually I don’t get much from mine …… .i’m just as likely to get yours @frealafgb

The fact that you’re saying “town” makes me think that the place you live may be smaller. Boston is one of the most densely-populated cities in the United States and has one of the most active Pokemon GO communities in the U.S. When we’ve been blessed with active Wayfarers and submissions we haven’…

My town is around 350,000 people, and Im 35 miles outside of London, and honestly there isnt much to separate all the towns in between here and there. So its a very densely populated area. Trying to look up population density… we’re about 1/3 the geographical size of Boston but with half the people…

Do you see nominations from London and its exurbs? I just popped in saw three nominations from my bonus area, seven from Silicon Valley (2,000 miles away) and one from Maine (200 miles away). I understand that some of those noms were probably upgraded, and feel sorry for whoever nominated a cannab…

Yes, London is not unusual. Neither is Manchester. Or Scotland, Wales, Ireland… I get photo reviews from France too.

Everything in southern England is fairly close compared to here. Within 50miles of London you’ve got Reading, Southwick, Brighton, Worthing, Oxford, Cambridge, and England’s cultural center, Staines. All of these places have significant population sizes. Outside of the cities that border Boston the…

[image] smantz0rZ: and England’s cultural center, Staines :laughing::laughing::laughing: Indeed yes all the places merge together in this area And yet I still see a lot of rural nominations and my queue doesnt have more from London than other places Id say. Its just a huge spread across th…

Greetings and seasons tidings, Thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to follow this thread. As noted last month we put some local effort in to submitting POIs and a few great community members have put some really great effort into reviewing. I especially want to recognize BigBilly617 who will li…

Glad we were able to make an impact! :partying_face:
