Thanks for the advice on this, @ElfFromSpace, I was hoping you can help clarify a recent pair of rejections I received on a nomination I made. I figured out my error with my first submission, but I just received a rejection for my second, and I am wondering if that’s a legitimate or I should appeal?
The site I nominated is “Bashaw Cemetery” (south of the town of the same name in Alberta, pop 800). I’m Rural. Here was the first nomination I rejected (it’s on a gravel road, so I assumed that was why it was flagged as inappropriate).
Bashaw Cemetery
The Town of Bashaw Cemetery dates to the early 1900’s.
The Town of Bashaw Cemetery has mapped 1245 memorials dating back to the early 1900s and settlement of the region. The land where Bashaw is situated was homesteaded by Joe Louis, a Metis. A good poker hand won Mr Louis the land, which he sold to Mr Bashaw for $500.

After that was rejected, I travelled down the road the half mile to the Cemetery itself, and tried again with this new pic (from the updated location)
I just received that rejection notification… but every cemetery I pass both in the city and the country is already a pokestop, apart from this one… and this one is not only a historical cemetery, but currently in use (it’s only at 50% capacity), so… I get that grieving folks are not likely to be playing Pokemon Go, but if Cemeteries always seem to qualify, why not this one? What am I doing wrong, or do I let it go?
