So, I noticed this a couple months ago but just now found time to look into the best way to report it (tried sending edit requests in-game, but those didn't allow moving the stops too much... and never got anywhere anyway). Around April a big number of PoIs were approved in this park (Plaza del Angel Gris). This caused "Pagoda Dabotap" to become a gym in Pokémon GO, and an EX one at that. But around August, someone seems to have an edit suggested (and somehow got approved) for both this PoI and "Chorritos de Felicidad" (another PoI working as an EX Gym) from their natural locations into the other corner of the park, almost 60-70m away from where both actually are located, and turning them into regular stops causing another two stops to become gyms. At their natural place both stops are accessible from outside the park fences (even without current double interaction range), so the change doesn't really make much sense. Don't think any new PoIs appeared in the game due to these relocations, compared to prior to them.
If needed, I can provide better, hand-made photos of the locations. Would appreciate them being placed back where they were before if possible.
Thanks for reading!

Appeal Accepted - Thanks for the appeal, Trainer. Based on the evidence provided, we’ve moved the Pokéstop to the correct location.
Thanks for the quick fix! Chorritos seems to be back on its original place now :)
Pagoda seems to be slightly off-place still though, about 20m comparing it with the marked location in Google Maps (almost certain it's properly pinpointed there, but can go physically and confirm if needed). And has now disappeared from Pokémon GO entirely.
Correcting from the current coordinates (-34.622184, -58.455976) to the ones from the Maps Marker mentioned above (-34.622184, -58.455840) should restore it where it was before the first relocation happened. Would it be possible?

Hello again, Trainer! In order to address this location. Please reach out to our dedicated team: https://www.pokemongolive.com/report-location
Just sent a ticket, thanks. Though the "reason" options given were only related to stop removal, even if the header mentioned "edit requests" alongside those. Should those maybe be updated? Replying just to let you know!
