Well, Ingress players, as of April 15th, can no longer submit nominations and/or edits, due to the sale of Wayfarer to Scopely, and Ingress staying with the new Spatial. Only PoGo players can submit to Wayfarer at this time.
As for the submission, did your supporting photo show the clock tower with the surrounding area, or just the surrounding area? It’s important to include a supporting photo of both the POI being submitted AND the surrounding area. This could have caused a rejection, especially if the clock tower isn’t available on satellite and/or Street View.
in PoGo, it does say to take a photo of the surrounding area, and not including what is nominated in the supporting photo is a common mistake that many new Wayfinders do. Many of us have asked that the wording be changed to note that the supporting photo include the POI and surrounding area, but nothing has been done.
If you still have the emails you received when you submitted the Wayspot, it will show the full nomination, along with both photos. It may be worth taking a look at them, and reviewing if the supporting photos you have taken do support the existance of what you are nominating.
