What the Weather Vane?

Hey there explorers,

Looking for a little help on a rejected nomination. It’s a weather vane located on top of a building inside of a park. The park is a POI, the playground next to the building is also a POI.

The building it’s self is prob not eligible which is why I wanted to nominate the Weather Vane. It really does stand out in the neighborhood, as it is the tallest point of interest for several blocks and highly visible.

Would love to know how you would improve the nomination. I’m trying to decide if I want to appeal or re-nominate.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

out of interest what was the title as a rejection is for text error.

I realize you know criteria and are trying to start a conversation here =)

A weather vane is often a mass produced object and we have been told to use that first reason to reject in that situation:

If your description has errors, I don’t see them. Could it be something about the location or a disconnect from the title? I don’t have enough information to have an opinion on that.

If this weather vane is by a artist, or has special significance in some other way, I don’t see it in your presentation.

Here is the Title.

I can only assume it was your missing U in “neighborhood” that caused the rejection, seems to be common lately :wink:

I can’t comment on the significance or not of the weather vane, but the rejection for bad description is ridiculous.

neighborhood is considered correct in the US, they have an aversion to the letter u in quite a few words.

I know, it was a bad joke. Like the rejection.

It’s possible the rejection for the description being inaccurate (not necessarily about spelling mistakes) could be reviewers taking objection to the supporting information, as it is laying it on a little thick for what is a generic mass-produced item.

Admittedly, the weather vane is as functionally and visually useful as the clocks on top of buildings which seem to be automatically accepted by the community.

Jamal is famous for laying it on thick lol

Yes with U.K. obsession with weather, :thinking::joy: I would expect it to have been accepted.

Probably the laying it on thick style, makes it almost submitter identifiable :joy:

There is a balance between laying out what seems obvious facts to make sure the person realises the significance, and trying to over egg

Jamal, why are you calling this a slam dunk, when you know it’s a long shot to start with??

Go ahead and add another dime to that Go Fest fund, for Elf calling you out.

I suspect my trail marker submissions are often identifiable as coming from a specific submitter, even to people who cannot identify that individual.

Hey @ElfFromSpace I never said anything about a slam dunk here on the forum. However. Look below.

Now, go back there the next day with decent weather and take a photo for it that Seramanda would approve of! That one is just plain pretty ugly.
