Welcome to the forum, and I hope we can help.

If you go to your contributions page at https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/nominations you can see the rejection reasons there. You can take screenshots of the nomination from there to show us for advice.

Hi it keeps telling me that its a duplicate but its not


There is a fountain in the city centre but its over 2 km away so I am not sure what the problem is

I think I found this park, and that fountain is already a Wayspot. “Fountain in the park”

It’s in the same cell as “Totemoszlopok”

Unless I’m way off, and if I am can you share the coordinates of the park?

Yes that is the park, but the “totemoszlopok” is a wooden structure right infront of a big modern playground. If you go on google maps you can see that. I wanted to nominate that aswell since the park is full of potential for comdays for our little city. But there is no Pokestop in the game for the fountain

The “totemoszlopok” is the furthest one on the right.

The fountain is right in the midle of the park where all the little paths go into.

Following on from what @Glawhantojar

Here is how the park looks

The boxes on this map in green and red are known as S2 level 17 cells - all very technical and this article is good at explaining their significance in in Pokémon go

https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

The key points are there is no limit to the number of wayspots in the database. However Pokémon Go does limit the selection of wayspots to appear in the game - 1 per level 17 cell.

So as you can see on the map there is already a fountain in a cell with 2 others only 1 of the 3 shows in the game. You can’t see the fountain but it’s already there and won’t appear.

When you go to submit, on the submission map bottom left if the toggle is on you will see orange pins and one will be the fountain. The wording is misleading, but in this case it simply means it is already in the database.

Sorry that we have brought you disappointing news, but hopefully this will help in future.

Okey what I understood out of this there is basically nothing i can do in that area? (red square)

Yes. The park is covered mainly by 4 squares and each should have a pokestop or gym. The wayspots not used as stops or gyms have the potential to be powerspots.

Yeah i was wondering why the hell the fountain appears as a powerspot but not as a pokestop

Thanks anyways guys
