Title of the Wayspot: Ye Olde Axes
Location: 39.0005100, -76.5827470
City: Annapolis, Maryland
Country: USA
Screenshot of the Rejection Email:
Photos to support your claim: Three photos:
1. Official MD RenFest map from their website rennfest (dot) com
2. IITC map of the festival, showing all portals on site, all accessible areas, and wooded areas. Please note that all wooded areas are clearly marked as No Trespassing.
3. Zoomed in version of #2.
Additional information:
This portal was placed incorrectly from the very beginning, and remains way off in the inaccessible woods to this day. It is slightly over 60m from the fence line, across a small stream, making it illegal to even attempt, regardless of whether the festival is open or closed.

Yeah, this one is simply not reachable. It's blocked off via the other side too. Somebody just got the pin wrong when they submitted it and it's been stuck forever. I go to the ren fest every year and it's not possible to get this portal without trespassing on private land.
Do you have the correct coordinates for it?
Yes.
Current portal: https://intel.ingress.com/?ll=39.00051,-76.582747&z=18&pll=39.00051,-76.582747
actual location, roughly: https://intel.ingress.com/ll=39.000914,-76.5835168z=18 (approx 30m from the current site and mostly on top of the ALSO misplaced fountain portal)
at least it was, the was the most recent time I threw axes
Good point that I didn't mention. The no trespassing isn't for the festival property, where employees might be able to go. It's private property, where they'll simply call the sheriff!
Is the correct location 39.000910,-76.583322? Because this is something we should try to correct instead of deleting. However, this does look like it was misplaced so as to create a Pokestop where one wouldn't normally exist.
The actual axe throwing place is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Xz3q9tS9SNLZypSK7
But there's already a portal there so I'm not sure if a move would be allowed? I know you can't create a new one too close, but I don't know how moves work.
When I looked on the intel map, I didn't see any duplicates.
No, it's roughly where the fountain portal is, that's what I meant. You could move it to there, if moves are allowed to be less than 20m apart. (I know new submissions have to be at least 20m away from existing POIs.)
There is no rule requiring Wayspots to be more than 20m apart. It is just that a Wayspot will not be imported as a Portal into Ingress if it is within 20m of an existing Wayspot. And we are focusing on a misplaced Wayspot.
It definitely wasn't placed to create an errant PokeStop, since:
As for moving it, @Meredith-ING hit the nail on the head.
Thanks for the appeal, @Webqatch-ING. We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time. However, we've moved the wayspot to the correct location.
Now we just have to wait for August when the renaissance festival opens again so we can get it! :D
