Photos to support your claim:

Additional information: Wayspot is a monument commemorating boy and girl scouts who died during WWII.

Please restore the name back to the one visible on the picture above - "Pamięci harcerek i harcerzy Gdańskich poległych i pomordowanych w latach 1939-1945"

Current name is offensive to the memory of those commemorated by this monument, it is different to what is visible on the monument and uses letters not present in Polish alphabet.

Also it would be great if you could prevent whoever submitted a maliciuos change of the correct name to incorrect and offensive one and do the same to those who rejected a valid request to restore correct name.

    Many scouts from Pomerania who fought against the Germans were of Kashubian origin, so using the Kashubian name is correct. However, the use of pejorative names may be offensive and constitute an attack on Kashubian culture, which is unacceptable. It is worth remembering about respect and cultural sensitivity in our words and actions.

    @Godocz-PGO the use of pejorative names is offensive and constitutes an attack on POLISH culture, which is unacceptable. It is worth remembering about respect and cultural sensitivity in our words and actions.

    We are talking about an obelisk commemorating our heroes and you are making a joke out of it, it's absolutely disgusting.

  • Thanks for the appeal, @KotOtaki-PGO! Based on the evidence provided, we’ve made the necessary changes to the title of the Wayspot.
