What do we do if we find that the reviewers are incompetent?

Niantic Note

Thanks for the appeal, Wayfinder! The existing text is more accurate than the suggested contribution. Hence, we are unable to approve this.

Hello

nice to hear from you again :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I agree that having a place name helps give this wayspot a more distinct title.

However why change it from Half court?

Perhaps the reviewers felt that half court was more accurate? :woman_shrugging:

A judgement call.

Perhaps Drakestone Basketball Half Court or Basketball Half Court, Drakestone

Would be better??

It also looks as though its pin location could be improved as it’s not on the court.

IMO: Niantic have been a bit pedantic with this. If this had gone to Vote I would have Accepted it.

Half Court - Poor
Drakestone Basketball Court - Better
“Drakestone Basketball Half Court” or “Basketball Half Court, Drakestone” - Best

Also agree that a Location Edit would be a good idea, positioned right at the end of the path.

This was an appeal outcome as the community had already come down in favour of no change.

And when we read edits for review we don’t know which is the current description. So some may see it’s a half court not see the estate sign and think that is more accurate.:woman_shrugging: So I can see why the community reached the decision it did.

I do get edits where I think in my judgement neither is that good.

Maybe ( and this is speculation) the appeals reviewer felt the same.
