When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:
Wayspot Title: Blurry Mary Statue
Location (lat/lon): 46.882492,-96.789333
First off, this statue no longer exists that this location. Also, the photos for it are all blurry, and I think when this statue was on the grounds, it wasn’t, so it may have been falsely submitted and possibly misplaced. Street View from January 2022 shows a statue around 46.88241115030167, -96.7894456940757, but there is no longer a statue in this area, just the metal posts that were next to it are still there (metal posts can be seen in photos I took).
The object was located where the Wayspot is currently located. The front part seems to have been remodeled. There is a chance that the statue is inside the new construction or has been relocated somewhere else inside the church. The below image should give you more context:
There are multiple Mary statues on the grounds of this cathedral, and many have been removed due to vandalism. I took photos of this area, and there is no statue here anyone when you compare them to Street View. I doubt that it was moved elsewhere, but instead was just removed due to it being damaged.
No, because it doesn’t exist there anyone. Also, the photo you show looks like the patio of the rectory, the living area for the priest. Not a place I would find to be appropriate for a Wayspot.
No, I would rather that you fully do research on this instead of quickly making a decision, especially an incorrect decision. Take your time, don’t rush things.
And how did I not provide evidence? I took multiple photos at this location. What else do you need to remove this?
This image shows a statue that was on the patio of the rectory, and I took a photo of the rectory patio yesterday. It seems it was moved off of the patio and into the yard, next to the poles in the photo as well. It’s not there anymore when you compare the photos to Street View.
Wait, it’s a praying emoji? I am not religious and never viewed it as that. I just assumed it was a gratitude emoji because there are multiple cultures who make that gesture when displaying gratitude to someone.
Nope, it’s praying hands. I think different generations, different cultures have different meanings for it, but in the US, it’s hands in prayer. I never ever use it because of my issues with religion.
