When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible: - Wayspot Title: Vleermuistoren Polderslootpad - Location _(lat/lon)_: 51.781055, 4.655212 - City: Dordrecht - Country: The Netherlands - Screenshot of the Rejection Email _(do not include your personal information)_: N/A - Additional Information _(if any)_: On January 30 I submitted a location edit request through the chat bubble for this Wayspot. I initially created this Wayspot on the wrong location, because I submitted it in-game and the location was hard to guess from the outdated aerial images (this area is under active development). With the new map and community tools, I could now use alternative imagery to correct the location to some 30 meters away (~51.780963, 4.655698) and thus submitted the request. However, a few days later (~February 5) I noticed the Wayspot was missing in-game and from the Wayfarer map. I received no communication on the request or its conclusion, and the Wayspot still shows up as ‘Accepted’ in my contributions overview (maybe I made a typo when inputting my email in the request?). What happened to this Wayspot? ---

Your wayfarer submission will not change if the wayspot is subsequently removed. You do not get alerted about removals. It appears to have been on single-family private residential property (SFPRP) as house #26 looks like a single-family unit. ---

Welcome to the forum. When a Wayspot is removed, you won’t see any difference on your contributions page. Any time you ask Niantic to make a correction, they will evaluate the Wayspot to see if correction is needed. They may do nothing, or what you ask, or something else entirely. If you are appealing for reinstatement of the Wayspot, whatever it was, you should present evidence here that it exists currently, is where you say it is, and meets criteria. ---

Thanks for your quick replies! > [@salixsorbus](#): > > It appears to have been on single-family private residential property (SFPRP) as house #26 looks like a single-family unit. The location is not located on private property. Here is a screenshot from a Dutch governmental map (e.g. wozwaardeloket.nl): the POI is the small gray block underneath the properties and near the walking path. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/d/9/d95f5e73b0ea372027d9165e558904433ed0042e.png) > [@cyndiepooh](#): > > If you are appealing for reinstatement of the Wayspot, whatever it was, you should present evidence here that it exists currently, is where you say it is, and meets criteria. Happy to provide more information if needed, does it help if I paste the original submission photos here as well? ---

maybe. only staff can determine the appeal, but if you post the screenshots, we may be able to help direct you to making the best case. ---

For advice, the original info will help, plus the original submission location, which is found below the photos in the submission receipt email. 51.781055, 4.655212 is here on google maps and does appear to be in the grounds of #26 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/4/d/4d070971cf01599aad89035157b0867cb4a7b9b0.jpeg) ---

> [@salixsorbus](#): > > 51.781055, 4.655212 is here on google maps and does appear to be in the grounds of #26 Indeed it is, that was the initial (incorrect) location. My request was to move it to 51.780963, 4.655698 (approximately, I don’t have the exact coordinates I submitted anywhere, but can’t be more than a meter off). On Google Maps it’s hard to judge because the map and aerial photos are outdated, but alternative sources - like Esri, OpenStreetMap, or the government data I referred to earlier - should help confirm that the new coordinates are not located on private property. Here are the photos I used for the submission, which shows the object from two angles and that it’s located adjacent to a footpath. On the first photo you can even see the property boundary of the residential properties on the bottom right (it’s the fence made of branches/twigs). ![unnamed (3)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/1/a/1a48c4861c66393b0e4bbe085812db339c29675e.jpeg) ![unnamed (2)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/b/1/b19553b4f60a79686ac55c5add9ae24eeba8d467.jpeg) The object is a ‘bat tower’, a structure made specifically for bats to live in to compensate for habitat loss in property development. ---

You make a good case here. It is _possible_ that the initial incorrect location caused the staff member who evaluated the move request to determine it as being SFPRP. One option now is that Niantic read this thread (they do read all threads), and take action to restore the wayspot or to ask for more information. The other option is to resubmit, using the web interface as you can include up to 5 supporting photos. Use these to confirm the location and confirm it as being on non-SFPRP property. ---

> [@salixsorbus](#): > > The other option is to resubmit, I don’t recommend resubmitting a removed Wayspot most of the time. Let staff weigh in first. There can be consequences for submitting something they do not consider eligible, especially if they have already removed it once. (oops meant to quote that, not reply to it) ---

Thanks for the appeal @kioyoh , We have reinstated the Wayspot in question and you should see the changes reflected soon.
