When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:
- Wayspot Title: Loutre de rivière
- Location (lat/lon): (42.480164,3.130078)
- City: Banyuls-sur-Mer
- Country: France
Very interesting river bed, which for several years was a car park.
The murals are indeed there and on the west side of the riverbed (right-hand side in that streetview image). The riverbed path is on the east side of the riverbed (left hand side in that streetview image) and there is no access to the murals from the riverbed except by wading through the river.
What is harder to see is that there is a path behind the wall that the murals are on. Pedestrians can easily reach the back side of the murals, and indeed touch the top of them, but not the front side.
This streetview link shows the entrance to the public path behind the wall: Google Maps
It’s likely that a lot of reviewers just looked at the obvious front-side access problem and dismissed the submission. It’s an unusual situation, being able only to access the back of something.
Agreed. I was not too surprised that the community reviewers did not notice. Disappointed given my photos but not surprised. That an appeal employee also missed it was unusual. It has long been stated by Niantic that vertical space is not an issue for waypoints. As long as you can safely stand above the object or below then it is accessible. I mean you can’t touch a 2 story mural but we all agree the the wall underneath is good enough.

Just checking if this got forgotten.

So I understand that reversing this could open a can of worms but I’d at least like acknowledgment that an error was made and that retraining will hapoen.
