When will we have the ability to give details for why we are requesting an edit?

It is completely unacceptable that we have no way to explain why we are requesting an edit.

Location - sometimes satellite view is complete obscured so trying to true up a location is not obvious to the reviewer.

Photo/Title/Description - the official line is that if something has changed names, the POI should be removed and resubmitted. But with wait times as long as they are in many places, this is unreasonable. This is particularly true if the use of the POI has not changed. For example, murals are repainted, churches change names, coffee shops may change names, etc. As long as the way the community interacts with that POI has not changed, the POI does not need to be removed and resubmitted. It just needs to change. But without submitting one of those "do not use" descriptions to help the reviewer understand which photo and title is current, it is often really difficult for the reviewer to know what to select.

I'm really tired of people screaming "ABUSE!" when all a person is trying to do is provide communication. Niantic is notoriously horrible with communication so it should be no surprise that they have a system that actively discourages it within the community.

Follow-up question for when they will allow the other contributions in its respective tab, doubtful that this feature will be implemented in the game apps themselves. If the pushback will be reasoned by "but this feature will be abused" again, the existing process already is and this suggestion only helps explicitly tag those abuses better imo.

Excellent request, currently people edit the description with details as to why the location edit was done

Edits are the only way to force your new picture to show on Ingress.

Fix the picture bug, and there would be fewer edits. Then the process time could speed up.

App developers are asking for this too. From https://community.lightship.dev/t/bugs-feature-requests-to-improve-wayfarer-android-app/3034

• I really do not like the whole edit interface for waypoints currently… I really wish there was the same field of Why did you request this change for people to fill out. People will get confused easily unless someone explains it to them and i can easily see a Niantic Staff member not understanding why a move occurred if the google maps data is 10 years old and it looks like the object is in the same place.

Per Niantic rules, when making an edit, we cannot add the reason for the edit in the description, right?
