Portal nominations not reviewed
I have 4 nominations stuck "In queue".
One was submitted in December 2014 and has never been reviewed, accepted or rejected , it is discouraging to be active.
I therefore stop my activities with Ingress.
But I came back to the game in early 2020, and have submitted 3 new portals on March and April 2020, but by today , nothing has changed ...again
Iam active to review new portals submissions
The old one from 2014 have been upgraded with wayfarer 2 weeks ago but nothing has changed , and status of all nominations (4) remains in the same status .
How would I go about getting these unstuck?
š
thanks in advance for support

Please don't cause confusion by using the wrong terminology. There is no such thing as "FastTrack" when it comes to Wayfarer... do you mean "upgrade"? They already stated that they applied an upgrade to one nomination, so it follows that they already know how to access wayfarer, and have already been reviewing to gain upgrades.
Nominations are initially "in queue" which means that no reviewers have seen them yet. In theory, after a brief time, nominations should change to "in voting" status, which means that reviewers can be presented with the nomination and can rate it. However, if there are a large number of nominations in the area, some can remain in queue for a long time. There's also an ongoing problem where some old (2014-2019) nominations from Redacted can get stuck "in queue" forever and never move to "in voting". It's been brought up on the Wayfarer forum but Niantic has never acknowledged the issue.
Applying an upgrade to a nomination can ensure that it is seen sooner by more reviewers over a broader geographic area, in hopes that a consensus will be reached more quickly. Upgrading only has an effect once the nomination is in voting though - it does not cause a nomination to move from in queue to in voting any faster.

Are your submissions in big cities? If so, the best way is to go approve portals yourself, to get the ability to "FastTrack" one and it'll be bumped to the top of the reviewer queue. If not, there still may have not been enough people doing wayfarer to get enough approvals for it to go through.
Yes my submissions are coming from big city : Bangkok

By reviewing yourself you help clear the backlog and make way for older submissions.
Sorry i don't get it, on how to approve my 4x own portal nominations because there is no way to select them for review.
When i review portal nomination, i cannot select any proposal, i can only review and rate what have been submit to me
