Additional information: Please restore correct name of the Wayspot "Dom Uphagena". This is a branch of a Museum of City of Gdańsk Dom Uphagena (muzeumgdansk.pl) and correct name is important for both tourists and locals.
@Niantic, please also consider that this is yet another example of malicious name change in the old town of Gdańsk, Poland meant to bring chaos to your games. "Community" responsible for both the initian name change of the correct name of this historical object as well as rejecting the in-game attempt to fix it should be prohibited from accessing Wayfarer and creating more damage.

It is with great pleasure that I propose new names for objects in the city center of Gdańsk for the Polish-Kashubian Concord. Names will be mostly in Polish, with Kashub added in brackets as an auxiliary language. I hope that this proposal will satisfy all parties and help to build positive relations between people representing different languages and cultures. Of course, I'm asking for a reasonable amount of time to complete the task.
If the correct names are in Polish, why include a second-language translation? You don't see Wayspot titles in the southwestern US given in both English and Spanish just because there is a large Spanish-speaking population in that region.
The history of Pomerania is complex and varied, depending on the perspective of individual nations.
I only see a sign on a building written in Polish in a city in Poland. I don't see why any other language than what is on the sign should be used.
@TheFarix-PGO You are absulutely right, names in Poland should be in Polish only. The problem in Gdańsk is that we are unlucky ones having a group of abusers who have nothing better to do but changing wayspot names to their liking and justifying it by their vision of DEI.
So far Niantic is powerless against them but hopefully that will eventualy change...
Let's make sure that the names will be understandable to both Poles and Kashubians, remembering that Kashubians are a separate nation living in northern Poland.
Thanks for the appeal, @KotOtaki-PGO. Based on the evidence provided, we’ve made necessary changes to the title of the Wayspot.
