Upgraded a Nomination in Mogadishu, Somalia Stuck "In Voting" Since May 2026

Hey @ak0444 ,

Thank you for submitting a Wayspot nomination! In order to ensure high-quality Wayspots, each submission is manually reviewed by a community of Scopely Explore players. The time of this process may vary depending on numerous factors such as the volume of submissions or the level of submission detail. We will send you a confirmation when we receive your submission, and will also let you know if your PokéStop nomination is deemed eligible or ineligible as soon as it has been reviewed.

I see that the nomination was upgraded only a few days ago and is working as intended.

Best,

IMO, this does not meet the criteria. This is just infrastructure.

How would you explain that this encourage either Socialise, Exercise or Explore?

well when its the only peace of infrastructure in the city it kinda becomes special :joy:
and it does provide water for a lot of people the goes there so that is that. guess i will be sticking to mosque then if u think this wont qualify

Socialise, Exercise or Explore are the big 3 of the acceptance criteria. All nominations must “encourage” at least 1 of these AND not match any of the Rejection criteria such unsafe location etc.

I use “Encourage” as you can do the big 3 at almost anywhere but most do not encourage it.

Mosques cover “Social” and “Explore (your religion)” so religious buildings are easy Accepts.

Please ask and post the general location if you would like others to scour the maps for possibilities.

Good Luck

Some old water tower might have historical value. But this one seems built in modern time.

For anyone else thinking of moving their bonus, most nominations are in English, but location is hard to verify so lots of “I don’t know”. I have seen more than 15 nominations already. Mostly mosques and cafes with only one or two that looked like there were clearly misplaced. Google maps pins help and going through the business photos helps a lot.

That is really helpful. Thanks

@niktero Thank you so much for taking the time to look into the nominations I really appreciate the effort especially since I know it can be difficult to verify locations here.If you ever need any local information, context, or help confirming whether a place is real or correctly located, please feel free to ask me. I’ll be more than happy to help in any way I can. Thanks again for your support it really means a lot!
