Location edit on invisible POI - Torre campanile (<10m)

Wayspot Title: Torre Campanile
Current Location (lat/lon): 40.887828, 16.949831
City: Sammichele di Bari
Country: Italy

Additional Information: Hello! A few months ago I submitted a wayspot into the game called Torre Campanile in my hometown of Sammichele di Bari. This wayspot showed up and the whole community was enjoying it a lot, being placed in the centermost part of town, however, with my initial location chosen (40.887899, 16.950008) I found the wayspot to look slightly off in the in-game map, so I proposed a new (current) location, that being 40.887828, 16.949831, where I invested an upgrade into the location edit and the community quickly got my wayspot moved, as the new location was SEEMINGLY more accurate from the satellite map (I only learned this after the wayspot was moved, and I could see it in the in-game Pokemon GO map where it looked extremely off - all of this is documented with pictures btw). The wayspot was present for exactly two weeks, then it disappeared. I waited about a week, and now came to posting here as I don’t know how else to have it moved since I realized from the Pokemon go map, that the wayspot has turned into an invisible POI as it now shares the same cell as Piazza Vittorio Veneto. The bell tower itself is actually right outside of the L12 S2 cell, however the tip of it, which I selected on the map when requesting the location change, turned out to be in the next, adjacent L12 cell due to how those satellite images where shot, so due to perspective and such. I am proposing a new, factually accurate location where I would like to have the wayspot moved. This was a pretty bad oversight from me, and I should’ve known better to cross reference the satellite images with 2d maps data on google maps before submitting the location edit, however, I legitimately thought I was editing the location to the most accurate one.

The location I am proposing with this very post is 40.88796682681641, 16.94993279573902, which allows the POI to both be in a place that looks accurate on both the 2d, and 3d satellite maps.

All right thanks, I wasn’t too sure about it since the forums changed and I saw some posts of people appealing rejected nominations. Gonna post there, thank you!
