When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:
You can’t appeal rejected nominations here. You need to use the appeal function within wayfarer itself. I don’t see the appeal button on your nomination, so it’s likely that you’ve used both of your available appeals. These will get refreshed 15 days after you used them
My first impression of the photo was “what is this?” I can imagine the automated system not knowing what the picture was. I don’t recommend appealing this - improve the nomination first. Normally, with pictures of murals, you can see that they are murals and what they are on (side of a building, street furniture, utility boxes etc).
It does look like a painting on the front wall of a Fruit seller.
IMO this would be no different to a convenience store having a picture of a can of Coke or a hair dresser with pictures of models hair on the front.
Probably just because the photos are low quality, mainly due to the time.
Like the mural is clearly hand painted, so even if its a fruit seller i think thats still interesting enough.
Diffrence being that its painted, which is huge imho.
It can be seen on the streetview and I added the photo to show that it was, in fact, on a building
You need to appeal from wayfarer page. You have 2 appeal , each with 15days cooldown.
Ok then. I will appeal this
Since you dont have appeal at the moment, you can try resubmit first. Try getting different photo. We dont know how AI work but u can try changing different angle. If resubmit and appeal fail, perhaps you need to consider looking into other things
This is definitely a grey area which is why I said IMO. Some will see it as Art whilst others see it as advertising.
If I had Rejected then saw that it was Accepted I wouldn’t be thinking “What, How did that happen”…
For comparison, this is also a piece of artwork on the front of a business which specifically advertises the business (Mr Personality Tattoos). This was accepted, so obviously I can’t know how many people chose to reject it, only that the overall decision was to accept. This falls into the same grey area but was eye-catching enough that I felt it would be an easy accept.
Also, the photo doesn’t need to show the context because it’s fairly easy to see that it is a roll-up shutter.
And even greyer was this one, which was rejected, as it does nothing visually even though it’s slightly more than ‘just’ an advertisement for the Italian restaurant behind the shutters.
I am moving this to nomination support
I would say that your 1st example falls above “just an advert” due to its artistic style, these are usually done to show the art style of the tattooist.
I saw one where after the tattooist closed the new business got him back to “Edit” the art to represent the new business.
It got accepted now
