When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

- Wayspot Title: Azulejos Pescadores

- Location _(lat/lon)_: 41.478779 / 2.315473

- City: El Masnou (Barcelona)

- Country: Spain

- Screenshot of the Rejection Email _(do not include your personal information)_:  

- Additional Information _(if any)_:

It has been rejected because of private property and it’s unable to see, but that’s wrong, that street is public and art is in the facade of that building.  
How can I demostrate that street is public? You can make a route on google maps that goes throught that stret and see it’s available with car, on surroundings photo you can also see that there’s houses at both ways of the street, so isn’t any “private yard” of any house.

Also you can see cars parked there in street view, maybe I could show that parking spots are pinted as green and everyone can park there by payment?

If you continue street up you can see also public stairs going up and down, up you get to the church of that village and down you get to a public plaza with a little public park for children.

That part of the village is the old part and it’s walk priority, so it’s a perfect street and place to play pokémon go with plenty of important building, places and arts.

Hi @rojitoconfuso  
I’ve moved your topic to #Nomination Support because the category #Wayspot Appeals is for appealing rejected removal requests or to ask for reinstating removed wayspots.  
The guidlines for “private property” are including outer boundaries, like fences or walls.  
If you feel comfortable please do share screenshots of your full nomination and the community can give you feedback what might have happend.

Sorry for the missplacement.

It’s a bit dark on surroundings street, but art is on top left corner at facane.  
You meant these screens?

But in your message you mean about walls and fences. That means this kind of walls that are perfectly visible from public street? When you check wayspot criterias seems meaning that wayspots were “inside” private properties.

If that wall isn’t elegible, how graffiti art at streets, that are actually walls of houses, are elegible?

This confuses a lot of people, so a clarification was made:

> [@Private Residences, Farmland & K-12](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/private-residences-farmland-k-12/12462):
>
> Single-family private residential properties (SFPRP), farms, and K-12 (schools or facilities primarily focused for persons under 18 years of age) are ineligible. This includes the outer facing facade, fence of these locations, and property boundaries. Objects in or upon apartment blocks, gated communities, or their shared spaces may be eligible assuming they otherwise meet criteria and are intended to be accessed by a community, even if not everyone. Communal spaces have the potential to be eli…

If those are single family homes, then the location is ineligible.

They are not, and will be removed when reported.

So graffitis (if they aren’t vandalism) are only available on business/parkings, or should I reject them too when reviewing?

If they are on SFPRP as explained, then yes, you should reject them. I hate to make a blanket statement when I don’t see what you are looking at.

Street art in eligible locations make great Wayspots!

Not single, I think that one is 2 houses, others like next and the one on the right are 4 houses (they have one north and one south, also 1 each level). That might work?  
Most houses on the old part of village can’t be higher because of sea views. Also mine was a big house when it was built 100 years ago but now it has 6 houses.

I am going to have to let someone else help with this situation. But if it is not _single family_ private residential property, then it should be eligible. You will need to show this.

I’ve read that, I was wondering if that green monster is at the wall of a house I should reject it, I’ve understood now it depends if it’s a single house or a building with more houses.  
But then that should meet criteria, as that one is 2 houses inside building, or there’s a minimum to be considered building?

That’s correct. If the building is not the living space of one single family it can be eligible. Now you know that reviewers seems not to be convinced about these circumstances and you should adress this point in your a) appeal or b) resubmission. What ever you prefer to do

The screen is actually from appeal, that’s why I was more worried. I’ll see how to explain that isn’t a single family on a resubmission

Thanks for helping

Appeals fail if the appeal reviewer cannot see something obviously wrong with the community review. An example would be a popular cafe that has excellent reviews but gets rejected because the wider reviewing community doesn’t understand that cafes are excellent social places, or a non-named trail marker from a quiet country road heading into open countryside that gets rejected because the wider reviewing community only likes non-named trail markers when they are already in the countryside (even if you have to start from the country lane to get to the countryside).

Since this looks like SFPRP (single-family private residential property) and was rejected as such, the appeal could not succeed with solid evidence of a mistake. You will need solid evidence for a good chance with a resubmission 🙂
