There is an ongoing issue that is causing submissions not to upload correctly. Some are appearing way after submitting, and others are just lost. See:
You should still see the contribution even if it is auto-rejected as a duplicate.
A powerspot that was imported can still be submitted if it is not already been through the wayspot review process. This is extremely confusing. The imports used to be identifiable from the placeholder photo, but photos can now be added through edits.
If the location is incorrect, you can ask help chat to correct it at Niantic Wayfarer
They will want evidence, and they will not move a correct pin to make it appear in PoGo.
I will also post this I have this written up for when I see a wheresmypokestop question:
I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the database. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and how they are used in PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
Wayspots that are not eligible to be Pokestops or gyms still have the potential to be used as Power Spots. It appears that there is a 22m distance requirement from any Pokestop or gym for it to be used this way, and it seems there is a limit of two active Power Spots per L14 S2 cell, the same size used to determine gyms. We explorers haven’t figured out the schedule for syncing in new Power Spots, but it is not on a daily basis at this time.
The location correction looks like something that should be done from Maps Street View, but it looks like moving the Wayspot will probably make this ineligible to be a Powerspot either.
