Wayspot that doesn't exist. And more. (Bremen-Walle +α)
Hi, @NianticGiffard , @NianticTintino.
The next Wayspot was a graffiti that existed in 2008.
However, it has now been painted in all dark brown.
Therefore, please review the Wayspot.

Title of the Wayspot:Arche Noah

Official Google Street View 2008 URL
December 2020
When you check this Google Street View, you don't want this 360 image to If it had been lost ,by some accident.
So I've captured this in WebM format.
The aforementioned Google Street View was first published in the following thread.
The two Wayspots "Johannische Kirche" and "Arche Noah" are located next to each other.
Title of the Wayspot: Johannische Kirche
Location atm: 53.105202, 8.789015

Real location: 53.105083, 8.789313

And,When I was doing a review of the Wayfarer!,
I have also found a few other strange things that I would like to share with you.

This Wayspot exists in the WALLER RING junior high school (OBERCHULE AM WALLER RING).
Title of the Wayspot:Bremer Schlüssel
Location:https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=53.099245,8.778702&z=17
The German title "Bremer Schlüssel" means "Key of Bremen" in English.
As you can see on the Google Map, this is the location of
OBERCHULE AM WALLER RING.

And there are even missions that take advantage of this.
In the Wayspot photo, the word "GYMNASIUM" is prominently displayed.
Gymnasium is a European secondary school.

Title of the Wayspot:St. Nikolaus Gemeinde
Location:https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=53.117938,8.758445&z=19
As you can see on the Google Map, this is the ST. NIKOLAUS kindergarten.

Title of the Wayspot:Zork am See
Location:https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=53.152696,8.699199&z=19
The graffiti "Zork" on this building is the Wayspot, but if you look at the overhead view on Google Maps, the graffiti does not exist.
As you can easily see by zooming in on the Wayspot adoption photo, this is just a public toilet to begin with.
You can see the blue pictogram on the door for men and the red one for women.

Title of the Wayspot:Spielplatz Heidbergstift
Location:https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=53.171324,8.697047&z=17&pll=53.171324,8.697047
It's titled "Heidbergstift playground".
However, as you can see on the Google Map, this place is behind the building marked "Kindertagesstätte Lesum" (Lesum Nursery), in other words, the playground of the nursery.
Kinder- und Familienzentrum Lesum

(5) is obviously a church. The kindergarten (short: KiTa), that is owned by the church, is only behind the church ..... the wayspot is totally fine.
Hi @NianticGiffard, @NianticTintinoa and @NianticDanbocat , I will say this upfront, these are reports who are targeting me, since I am a player in this city. @MagicalThorn-ING is a player from Japan who has been abusing the reports function for quite a while and I have been hinting at his wrongdoings in his threads by asking him for actual reports including the normal abuse form and so on. I am in no matter defending any abusive or non-existent poi. In fact I report them myself. But since this is a targeted "attack" I would ask you to truly bring him to follow the formal abuse procedure, since he has never reported anything outside of Japan. He is using for an example google satellite and streetview, which due to laws, is outdated in Germany for almost 10 years. Ask him for geo tagged photos. And I would ask you to look twice at what he is reporting. For an example I see him tagging churches as kindergarten, while in fact there is a distinct difference between the actual church and possible day care centers attached to a church. He is also tagging public playground spaces close to kindergarten as belonging to them. This fits to the way he was abusing his report rights, but now we also see his malicious character while he is lashing out to those correcting him. Don't worry, I won't miss abusive poi in my city, in fact I am proud that for the size of it we have a relatively low amount of abuse which we slowly remove, while using the formal procedure (!).
I almost forgot: @MagicalThorn-ING can you provide the rejection-mail for your reports? As a local player and not someone 9000 km further away, you should be able to. : )
To (6):
Maps satellite images might not be totally up to date. Especially in Germany, Streetview wasn't updated since 2008.
I would not bank on that. Especially since the graffiti looks like it got created a few months ago.
He actually even mentioned you in this one (as the author of one of the 360). Clearly a direct attack, indeed.
I have noticed it myself and have been thinking about flagging his threads as targeted harassment, since I am the sole reason why he is even "looking at my city". In fact I hope to hear more from @NianticTintino or maybe even @NianticDanbocat , since they have joined the team after op's behavior has manifested. OP never kept to the formal report ways (ingame reports or the forms during wayfaring plus rejection mail), nor did he check the criteria for his reports (reporting whatever he doesn't like based on his feelings), nor did he remain respectful to the Niantic staff (last time I remember he called Giffard "someone insulting the dead" for denying his report) and lastly by appealing to feelings instead of arguments and by randomly picking a place to "view" while living 9000km away he is casting a bad light on the community (aka "the reporting guys are doing just whatever they want for their ego, they have no interest in keeping the game clean and correct"). Maybe it might be worth a discussion thread on it's own.
This post breaks the community guidelines by doxing a member of the community https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/5/community-guidelines
@MagicalThorn-ING - Please report the Wayspots through in-game.
Also, this is a warning for not following the Community Guidelines and the abuse procedure. Any instance of further violations will lead to termination of your Wayfarer and community privileges.
