Remove or merge the duplicate Wayspot

  • City: Lappeenranta
  • Country: Finland
  • Additional Information (if any): The Wayspot I got accepted is a duplicate of a Wayspot that got accepted on the same day. Below are the details of the two Wayspots:

Wayspot 1 (keep this)

  • Wayspot Title: Kuusenkerkkä
  • Location (lat/lon): 61.053088, 28.205141

Wayspot 2 (remove/merge with above)

  • Wayspot Title: Kuusen ja männyn oksat
  • Location (lat/lon): 61.053065, 28.205151

This is my first time posting here, so I apologize if there’s anything wrong with this post. I’ll provide more info about the Wayspots if needed!

Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

A standard way to do this would be to report the second wayspot as a duplicate using the Report button on Niantic Wayfarer. You can put a lot of text in the report, so you can reference the wayspot that this is a duplicate of.

These are definitely duplicates accepted a day apart. I have reported this, since it was quicker than typing this post.

I am concerned about how these both got accepted. Wayspots this close together are supposed to get queued in order to prevent this exact situation from occurring. Tagging @ScopelyExpAaron just in case there is an issue that needs checking.

Thanks for the response!

So, do I still need to report it through the Report button, since you already did it? Or did you mean something else?

And for the queuing issue, I guess it was because I upgraded my nomination for the Wayspot, so it might have skipped the queue.

EDIT: I just reported the Wayspot through the map view. Thank you once again!

Hi, yes, in order for this to be an appeal, you would need to provide a rejection of a removal l, as spelled out in the post template. I have moved this to General Discussion in the meantime. Good luck!
