Automation rejected ALL of my submissions today, please help

[Goluka08]

A bit of background to all of my submissions being rejected:

A few days ago, i was talking with a few people in my small loacl town.
We were trying to figure out what could make or not make a good wayfarer point (Pokestop/gym).
We walked around town for about an hour or two yesterday, taking photos, thinking of stuff to write in the description.
In our small town we dont have much going on, in terms of art or big fancy sculptures.
So we walked and took photos and ended up sitting down and submitting all of them together.

Today i woke up to check on the submissions and i came to find that all of our submissions got rejected.
I wont lie and come with some fake story, but it did made me kinda sad.
We spent alot of time on this and really did our best to be rejected from what i assume would be a bot/AI.
And when i came around to appealing them i found out that i only have 2 appeals.
I dont know what i can do, and if theres anyone or a admin that could help it would mean the world, even if it just means talking with someone real.
Thanks in advance!

I put some more material of all the waypoints below, if anyone could be so kind to take a look.

This small fire hydrant has been of great use to our small community many times. Often overlooked even though its standing there in plain sight. We dont see this type of firehydrant being used at all anymore.

Here are some thoughts – I hope they don’t seem too blunt!

@Goluka08

This small fire hydrant has been of great use to our small community many times.

If it remains in use as your description implies, then it’s not a valid sub due to ‘emergency services’ access’. If it’s an antique and truly rare, you’ll need to provide evidence of this in the additional text box.

@Goluka08

The wheat bed

This is a natural feature. I would reject this in the same way I would reject a tree, again, unless you could prove that it was truly significant. I really don’t think that that is possible though.

@Goluka08

“Be aware of me sign!”

Given the history (again, you’d need to provide evidence), I would try zooming in on the specific sign and trying again. The AI will probably have identified this as generic road signage.

@Goluka08

Modern bench

I would reject this one. Benches can be good anchors for parks without signs or viewpoints, but they don’t really meet any of the criteria otherwise. Picnic benches can be different, as can benches with plaques that memorialise notable people.

@Goluka08

Impressive entrance to the cemetery.

Entrances to cemeteries have been specified as not viable due to being sensitive locations. Specific graves of notable people (i.e. ones that might be visited by non-relatives who are interested in the person) can be viable though. Even if you avoid this issue, if the church is already a waypoint, both this and the other gate will likely get marked as a duplicates, as IMO, the gates aren’t really that notable in themselves.

@Goluka08

Many people come up here to enjoy the view

This one is potentially viable, though the main pic should really show the view. Try taking the picture from behind one of the benches to capture both aspects?

In terms of the AI rejects, we don’t really know what the triggers are. One is almost certainly ‘too much plant life’, but otherwise it’s taking its cues from reviewers’ choices, and too many of your pictures look like something fairly generic.

[Goluka08]

Thanks so much for the insight. I will look into the bench under the tree thing!

[salixsorbus]

Of those, the strongest is the benches below the tree, as @00witsd has already said.

Standard benches generally work when they are a bench-with-a-view, for which the best angle is behind and slightly to the side, so that you capture the bench at a nice angle and also show the view.

With two benches, you have more to work with, but the view definitely helps.

When nominating, put yourself in reviewer point of view that know nothing about your nomination. Nomination is like presentation. Personally the only nomination that seems have potential is your bench. Make sure your supporting foto show what view from it.bench with view is good candidate, but all bench have view to some extent so you need to highlight whats special about this bench

Honestly you exaggerate your submission too much. When people see your words and your picture, it doesnt match. Would you bring foreign visitor to this gate and said this word?

Anyway you have 2 appeals, each with 15days cooldown so make sure to use them on nomination that have better chance

“Be aware of me sign!”

Given the history (again, you’d need to provide evidence), I would try zooming in on the specific sign and trying again. The AI will probably have identified this as generic road signage.

As a Dane, I would say that this should be rejected as a mass-produced object. While the signs are indeed of a rather old design, they are common, and I do not see how the signs being old would sway the eligibility criteria personally. They’re still in use across the country.

Does not meet eligibility criteria
Does not seem to be a great place of exploration, place for exercise, or place to be social. The object is mass-produced, generic, or not visually unique or interesting.

Overall I think these are all rejects. The only ones that might have a chance are the two of benches. I’ll take a peek at a map later and see if I can perhaps identify other, (in my mind) more suitable nominations in your community :-).
