Why are so few nominations being accepted?

Why are all my nominations being denied? Did a local church, which a lot of churches are waypoints and a community center. These seem to meet criteria and continue to be denied by automated processing

@heelerman03 Welcome to the forum! It’s difficult for us to help you without seeing the nominations that were rejected. If you can post them the community will be more than glad to help.

Sometimes the ML can get things wrong. Other times it might be that you as a submitter have done things that could be improved upon. As @GrandpaTP says, you’re more than welcome to show screenshots of your rejected nomination and we can give you some advice.

It’s also worth remembering that you can appeal nominations that are rejected by the ML. You get two appeals, and each of these appeals will be refreshed 15 days after using them.

Hi @heelerman03

Many folks on the forum like helping people get their questions answered and getting nominations approved. Let us see if we can help.

Churches are fantastic for nominations. Maybe you could share your photos and the title, description, and supporting information. We may be able to pinpoint some improvements.

If all of your nominations are being rejected by the automated process, then maybe it has something to do with your photos. Does your camera put watermarks on all of your photos? Is your screen ratio very tall so that it includes a lot of the background, making it hard to tell what the focus of the nomination is?

Please share screenshots of a rejected nomination for us to try to help you figure out what is happening. I would be especially interested in seeing one for a church.
