Hello, I appealed this nomination but the appeal was denied, despite being eligible as per the criteria clarification: [image] Cemeteries & Other Sensitive Locations gravestones belonging to historical figures or significant community figures can be eligible if the nominator provides evidence f…

That is definitely a poor appeal review decision. Just going by the size of the wikipedia page, Ernst Bloch is a significant historical figure. Just going by the photo, this is definitely not a sensitive location. For Scopely Explore to state that [all] wayspots in cemeteries are automatically in…

Hmm. I have no idea how to search through this forum for a post made around 6 to 12 months ago in a thread that I cannot remember the title or topic of. It is however a post that several people have referenced, not just me. I have found the thread about the gym and my memory was wrong - there is …
