OK, I understand the idea behind it–show exemplary work that we can all look up to. Trouble is the last one in my feed had a spelling mistake, and this one has submitter’s shadow in the picture. Imagine I was smart enough to make this into the meme with the anime guy looking at a butterfly: Is th…

BTW here is the full pic… At least it shows the whole obelisk, but I think we can agree what the picture is actually all about! Editing this to say that maybe the submitter was being careful, noticing that if they DID take six steps to the right so their shadow wasn’t in the picture, maybe a perso…

Hello, Both are acceptable Wayspots to me, and yes, they could be better, but they were accepted by the community. Only community accepted Wayspots get featured these days, so the reviewers approved them, and they were most likely randomly chosen by the system to be featured. Someone’s shadow in …

A little different of a case here. BTW, this is one of the Featured Wayspots in my area this week. Yes, I checked IDK on Accuracy for the title, but I didn’t see it as ineligible when I reviewed it. I would maybe have named it Dwight City Park Playground. [Screenshot 2024-07-31 142901]

And this one does not encourage folks to go out and submit stuff they shouldn’t.

Excellent Point. Currently the way these things work, in theory, would be that both the playground above and Unnamed “Coal” Wayspot go into community voting. Both are approved by their local community, with around the same thumbs-up/thumbs-down total values. Both are then eligible for inclusion o…

[image] DTrain2002: all minor and nothing that I’d reject. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I’d not reject regarding the grammar at all; I didn’t ask for advice as to what to accept or reject when reviewing; my point was that these aren’t just wayspots that are accepted, they are held up…

[image] cyndiepooh: does not encourage folks to go out and submit stuff they shouldn’t. I completely agree, but that’s a low bar for “Featured Wayspots” IMO.

[image] Shilfiell: But would I rush out to see it in real life if I saw it on my local showcase? Ha! I was hoping to get surprised when I posted about Featured Wayspots! I assumed that the point of these was to give us examples of what was a good submission, to improve reviewing and nominati…
