  • Additional Information (if any): The wall, plaque, and tree pictured in the point of interest do not exist at this location. The wayspot is over 10 years old, so I am unsure of where this exists, if at all still. Google Street View (link here) corroborates this.

On a separate note: This is one of a few stops and gyms in the area that are misplaced or misrepresented that I’ve received rejections for. Would it be recommended I make new threads, or just make posts in this current one?

edit: the following are rejections I would like to appeal as well

You can appeal multiple rejected removal requests in one thread, just as long as you provide all info for each. You may want to edit your original post to include these, if you want to take that route. Staff will review each one and let you know what the decision is for each as well.

Thank you for the feedback! I’ve updated accordingly.

Thanks for the appeal, @MoreMordred. We took another look at the Wayspots in question and decided that they do not meet our criteria for removal at this time. However, we’ve moved the Wayspot “Freedom Tree” to its correct location. If you have additional evidence to share like geotagged images or photospheres, please submit a new appeal with additional information and we’ll take another look.
