Hello. I nominated this church of Saint Panteleimon, and the team assigned it to a spot way off from the actual coordinate. I can verify that this was not a mistake from my end, I was right there when I did it.
Here is the Google Maps link: Google Maps
Interestingly enough, the submission shows the location at that place, but I can assure you I did not put that there precisely. I made all my nominations right there on the spot.
I canât match up the wayspot photo to the church that it at the location you have circled. Is there a streetview that shows the church your wayspot photo belongs to?
The only available street view is on the side of it. The photo is taken inside the block, which is not drive friendly.
I entirely understand the limited reach of streetview, I just canât match up what is visible on streetview to the photos you are providing.
This is from streetview at the east side of ÎΔÏÏÏ ÎαÏÏ ÎÎłÎŻÎżÏ Î Î±ÎœÏÎ”Î»Î”ÎźÎŒÎżÎœÎżÏ at 40.410566, 21.761313
If this is the same church, you could show this with a series of photos that walk the viewer from streetview to the entrance with the steps. Imagine you are using the photos to find the church. Start from here:
Were you walking while submitting? Sometimes this can cause drift in my experience. I can see where the photo was taken, it is along the on the other side of the church.
Found it. This streetview (below) confirms that the church at 40.410539, 21.760965 is represented by the wayspot St. Panteleimon Church which is at 40.410276,21.760577 and about 46 meters to the southwest of the correct location.
This is more than community reviewers can adjust by. Can you provide the submission location, which you will find in the initial receipt email below the two photos.
Whenever you have nearby streetview and want to prove something exists which isnât visible from streetview, there are two basic ways that donât rely on GPS tags.
No longer necessary here, since @CountKnick found the right streetview.
Yeah, but I really just went closer to the church so I can sit somewhere.
If you mean the original email confirming my nomination, here. 40.410276, 21.760577
If that is where you submitted it, that is the location it has been approved at. This means you had GPS drift and didnât notice the actual location when submitting.
This is more than you can suggest an edit for in-game, so you need to contact help chat to get the location corrected. One way to do this is to go to Niantic Wayfarer and click on the chat button at the bottom-right (the page is empty except for the chat icon!)
That can sometimes cause drift within the app. Always double and triple check your location even after submitting, trust me, I speak from experience as only last week I had to get something corrected myself because I either stupidly tapped the building immediately next door (A primary school - (Big No No)) or I drifted a little and didnât actually notice until I checked in on my submission. Luckily I spotted it time and got it resolved with the help of the Wayfarer team.
If I was in your position I would reach out to support and explain the situation and ask them to fix it. That way if it is in an inaccurate location you avoid the risk of it being reported as such and you getting a warning.
Always better to put your hands up and admit a mistake and asking for help than the alternative.
I am having issues at the moment (coverage wise, where I am) so unfortunately I canât currently get the map to load but just a word of caution. If the wayspot is currently on the church, just not the correct side, I would leave it alone as it may be seen as manipulation of the map.
If it is completely inaccurate and not near the church then I would address this immediately with chat and explain the error and request them to fix it.
Ideally when submitting always stay in 1 place and donât submit on the move and always double check the location before and after you submit.
I have got countless submissions in reviewing where someone has taken a photo of something to submit later at home only to not correct the positioning and they end up submitting their own house instead of the actual location.
Some of these were obviously abuse but I came across one that had 3 submissions all in the exact same position (same GPS cords) which would have all cancelled each other out, but it was on their house, basically they never repositioned after they got home.
It is easy to do as I have done it myself and had to pull the submission before voting
The wayspot is ~56m away from the left-hand side of the church, which is where the photo was taken and is the closest the church comes to the wayspot.
Ouch, yup @imFragment reach out to help chat in support immediately as @salixsorbus suggested above and ask for it to be corrected explaining what happened.
Alright, they replied and said the changes will be affected soon. Thanks everyone 
You need to understand that the correct placement is not âwhere you stood when you submitâ. This is prone to gps drift. You need to manually move EVERY submission and not rely on âwhere you stood when you submitâ
When i submit nomination, i dont need to be at the spot. I usually take multiple foto and submit when i return and relax at home. As long its no more than 10km, i can set the pin at correct coordinate
The wayfarer map is already showing the wayspot has moved onto the church. It wonât get used as a pokestop (which was also true for the incorrect location), but should get used as a powerstop (which wasnât true for the incorrect location).
Nice to see the wayspot that is already a pokestop in this cell - itâs a painted pole, which have had a couple of threads about them being incorrectly rejected.
I wouldnât call it just a pole 
It WAS useful to residents displaying the time and bus destinations, but now itâs been drawn with flowers and a welcome message.
Iâm not trying to talk it down, but talk it up! Some people have had trouble getting painted poles accepted - it doesnât matter what function the pole performs/performed, itâs the street art that is being submitted.
