It is permitted to apply facilities in university campus, but some judges reject it, stating that the general public can’t enter.
We can only submit an appeal twice a month, and even if I reapply, it gets rejected again.
How shoud I do?
First, you need to be certain that the thing you are submitting actually meets at least one of the criterion: a great place to exercise, explore, or socialize. For example, many people will submit residence halls but those don’t meet criteria. They may have spaces inside or around them that do, like a lounge or gaming area. But the entire residential building is basically like an apartment building.
As the submitter, you need to do the work to explain how your submission meets the critieria of Wayfarer, separate from any gaming needs.
If you disagree with the rejection, the corect procedure is to appeal or resubmit with better supporting info. If you are not sure about your nomination, please share complete detail of your nomination (title, foto, description, information, location, etc) you can get location from thank you email that you receive after submission
Of course, I understand the criteria well.
Last month, I applied the welfare facility featuring a restaurant, but it was rejected.
Other applications that was rejected in this reason was permitted after I appealed.
Thank you, but there are some judges who doesn’t understand criteria well in Japan.
They are called “rejectman.”
Without seeing the nomination, its hard to say .You can ask opinion here 1st to gather community opinion before deciding to appeal or resubmit. Often most nomination can be improved so that chance of acceptance can be higher. But in the other hand we might also advise if its better not to resubmit/appeal if the current nomination doesnt fit wayfarer criteria.
It seems like inside AIT area. I cant see street view but it definitely not SFPRP. If the object is real and location correct, i think it got chance.
Just advise. For nomination which cant be verified from street view, try getting surrounding foto which include any visible object from satelite. If you use web submission, you can attach up to 5 foto. it will greatly increase your chance of acceptance if reviewer can confidently verify the location
There are some submitters who submit things that are not eligible under the wayfarer rules, but they are aware that the local wayfarer community will probably accept them, because that area has developed its own rules. There isn’t a name for this and it would be unreasonable to create an offensive one.
Name-calling people who reject wayspots is insulting. There will be some reviewers who reject unfairly but a lot will be rejecting correctly even if the submitted doesn’t agree. Sometimes, people click the wrong rejection reason but the rejection is correct.
Hello and welcome @URRMIRCH
We try on this forum to avoid making assumptions and blanket calling groups of fellow wayfinders. So please avoid this as it is distracting from the points you are raising.
Sometimes reviewers assess a nomination and decide it is not acceptable but simply pick the wrong or not helpful reason to do the rejection.
It is frustrating as we all believe our nominations to be eligible.
My initial impression is that this is the sort of place that is eligible but I haven’t had a chance to do translations etc.
you did the correct thing in appealing. This is why we have appeals so that we can ask for a second opinion.
Do let us know how the appeal goes.
Translation:
Wayspot Submission: Aichi Institute of Technology – AIT PLAZA
Location: Seto City, Aichi Prefecture
Description
A welfare/student services facility at Aichi Institute of Technology. It contains a convenience store and restaurants.
Supporting Information
This is a university welfare/student services facility that is also available for use by the general public.
So, I don’t see where you tell the reviewer how this meets criteria. That is a big part of your job as the submitter. Socialize. Exercise. Explore. Which one does this fulfill and how?
Hello and Welcome,
IMO: You would be better if you can get an image and nominate the Restaurant itself.
The convenience store I don’t see as eligible so no need to mention.
If you are nominating the outside “plaza” then what is inside makes no difference, you have to state why the plaza is eligible.
Good Luck
