One of my submissions has still not shown up a month after approval. Not sure how to submit these so posting it here.
Hello, nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum.
Congratulations on your first Wayspot approval. For beginners, getting approval is the first hurdle. I’m glad you made it through safely.
Unfortunately, there should already be a PokéStop named “Eunice Shriver Memorial” near the Waypoint you registered. There are rules in place to maintain a certain density when generating PokéStops, and since there is already one in that area, it won’t be generated. The link below provides a detailed explanation of the rules governing PokéStop generation, so please refer to it.
However, once you understand the rules, you may want to adjust the location, but there are strict rules regarding pin placement, so please adhere to them. Best regards.

Pin placement within your nomination is very important. Make sure to review the following to give your nomination the best chance during review.
Thanks! This is my first post here but one of many submissions for me in Pokemon Go and dating back to the ingress beta days. Thanks for the info on the S2 cell placements as that is new info for me. I will review that and see if I can adjust. There was another spot relatively close so perhaps that interfered with it. If the pin is out of place is it best to submit that position move as a modification to the accepted waypoint? I did that with portal modifications in ingress but have not done it in Pokemon Go yet so want to confirm it is the same process.

If the location of a Wayspot pin is incorrect, it can be corrected. Please make sure to move it to the correct location. Moving it to the wrong location will result in a penalty. Also, since there seems to be no way to determine the correct location using Street View or other online information, it may be better to log in to Wayfarer on your browser and use the help chat.
I assume you are trying to correct wayspot location
Above is my personal experience
Moving away wayspot from its correct position is subject to abuse ladder system. Especially if it involve s2 cells, it can be seen as attempt to manipulate game. So please proceed with caution.
You can use in game edit location by clicking wayspot or use help chat to ask edit location
Help chat will ask for evidence and helpchat may not necesarily move it according to your suggestion
