Additional Information:
This appeal is not intended to request additional Gyms. I am requesting a review of an apparently incorrect location edit that displaced a long-standing EX Gym away from its real-world location and had significant effects on the local community.
For many years, the Wayspot “Tanque De Agua Cayran (Sedapal)” functioned as a Pokémon GO Gym and was also designated as an EX Raid Gym. It was an important gathering point where many local players regularly met for raids and community events

I would also like to point out that the Wayspot gallery itself contains photographs dating back to 2015, 2016 and 2017. These historical photos further demonstrate that this Wayspot has existed in the same real-world location for many years and support the long-established position of the water tower.
This historical record reinforces that the later displacement of the Wayspot was inconsistent with the actual location of the object and deserves a review of the approved location edit.
Around mid-January, the Wayspot was moved from its original location (-11.992454, -77.090820) to (-11.992400, -77.091027). This edit placed the Wayspot considerably away from the real-world position of the water tower. As a result, the historical EX Gym “Sedapal” lost its Gym status and became a regular PokéStop.
After noticing the issue, I submitted a location correction request and the Wayspot was restored to its original coordinates (-11.992454, -77.090820). However, even after being restored to its correct position, it never regained its previous Gym status.
I am also concerned about how the January location edit was approved. The approved position was significantly displaced from the actual water tower. Satellite imagery and terrain view clearly show that the water tower is located in the center of the park, while the moved location was positioned toward the edge of the park and did not correspond to the actual object.
Additionally, after this displacement, the Wayspot “Desayunos El Sol” (-11.988949, -77.090006) became the Gym in the area, while the long-standing Sedapal EX Gym lost its role as the community gathering point.
I cannot determine the intention behind the approved edit; however, due to the magnitude of the displacement and the consequences it had on the local gameboard and community, I respectfully ask the team to review the complete history of location edits for this Wayspot and verify whether the modification complied with Wayfarer criteria and was approved correctly.
I have attached screenshots showing:
• Historical screenshots of the Sedapal EX Gym.
• The current location of the water tower.
• The coordinates involved in the location edits.
• Satellite imagery showing the real position of the object and the incorrect moved position.
• The current Wayspot and Gym configuration in the area.
I respectfully request a review of the location history of the “Tanque De Agua Cayran” Wayspot and clarification regarding how such a significant displacement from the real-world object was approved. If possible, I would also appreciate an evaluation of whether the consequences generated by this incorrect location edit can be corrected, as this location served for many years as an important gathering point for our community.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
