Vandalism? - ¿Vandalismo?

ING •
Hi everyone.
Does anyone know why my Pokestop counts as vandalism?
This “Graffiti/Mural” Was proposed by children from soccer school, mentioning the values of citizenship. The main theme of this Mural is “ Friends of Cali” (The city: Cali, Colombia). It showcase important values like tolerance, just as seen in the photo. Any recommendations for re-suggesting it?

Hola muy buenas, alguien sabe porque mi pokeparada cuenta cómo vandalismo?
Éste “graffiti/mural” fue propuesto por un niños de una escuela de fútbol mencionando los valores como ciudadano. El tema principal de este mural es “amigos de Cali” (La ciudad de Cali, Colombia). Donde se muestra valores como la tolerancia, tal cual como se ve en las fotos, alguna recomendación para volverla a sugerir?




Frankly this one doesnt seems like in good condition. I am not suprised if its rejected because of temporary as well. You can try resubmit foto from the best part of it. but dont be discouraged if its rejected. Sometimes u nd to move on.

Hello and welcome,

FYI, you do not need to translate and you are free to use one language. The forums have a translator, and English isn’t a requirement.

Wayspot Appeals is also not the right topic to post in, as this would be better in Nomination Support. Wayspot Appeals is to appeal a rejected removal request that is valid, or to ask for a removed Wayspot to be restored.

There is clarification in regards to this here in the forums:

This does appear to be many different tags that were not put up with permission, but it’s also a little hard to tell. Some of the words are encouraging, such as generosity, dreams (suenos), justice, and compromise in English.

You also mention that this was put up by the children at a soccer school. I wonder if this is more of a local soccer club for youth, or a K-12 school, which is an ineligible location. Would you mind sharing the location so we can better know where this is located at?

Hello and welcome @Temoroka
It’s not very obvious where particular queries should be posted. So I am moving this to Nomination Support so we can help with your submission.

Okay thank you

Por supuesto no se encuentra en ninguna zona privada, es más, está dentro de un parque, aquí adjunto las coordenadas,

(3.3882682, -76.5544587) [Parte de atrás del mural]

(3.3886551, -76.5544647) [Acceso al parque con más claridad]

Actualmente Google maps no ha actualizado esta zona pero también poseo un video dentro del parque

Rather than the mural u have better chance submitting the soccer field. But there are also problem with your location. I cant locate your mural. Combined all this i find it hard for people to accept your nomination.

The soccer field is already a Wayspot, CANCHA DE MULTIFUNCIONAL LA 12.

@Temoroka Street View doesn’t show this mural, and it was last updated in 2019. Are the murals on the east side of the field still up? I see one with animals and flowers, as well as one for a soccer club. I don’t see Wayspots for either of these, and these look more eligible than the words that the children wrote on the wall.


Ese es el problema Google maps tiene eso desde hace 5 años. No se ha actualizado desde hace tiempo

Ya está nominada, el problema es el sector que no tiene pokeparadas entonces se busca también mejorar la jugabilidad de mi zona, junto a otro jugador estamos nominando muchas más, solo que no entiendo el problema del rechazo a esta misma. Además. Es parque bastante extenso

Hi @Temoroka
I’ve found these two objects while cruising on streetview. Do they still exist? Do they have already wayspots?


This is because of the density/inclusion rules for PoGo. PoGo uses S2 cells to determine what Wayspots get added as stops/gyms, with 1 stop being allowed per L17 S2 cells; gyms are in the larger L14 S2 cells, with up to 3 gyms allowed, based on the number of occupied L17 S2 cells. More info on S2 cells and PoGo can be found here:

You may need to share screenshots of your complete nominations for us to fully determine why they may be getting rejected. Just sharing the photos isn’t always enough. Besides, I do think that the mural with encouraging words on it from the children is hard to picture being where you say it is from your photos, since Street View is out of date, plus it may be something that you have to appeal if ML, the AI system, is rejecting. ML may not see it as distinct and be rejecting, so if it keeps getting rejected by ML, it may need to be reviewed by the appeals team so that a human does take a look at it.

Compared to the other murals here, it’s not all that distinct, and I don’t know how this was titled or the description that was provided. Almost anyone could paint words of encouragement on the fencing of a soccer field. You may need to explain better that the children that use this field put up these words, hence why there is the Amigos De Cali included.

Also, the photo would be better taken in landscape than portrait, as it would include more of the mural, more of the words. All of the murals that I’ve nominated have been longer than they are wider, so a landscape photo works best. Below is one that I submitted that’s for a mural at a shopping center A portrait photo would include a lot of foreground/background that isn’t needed, such as the parking lot, the building’s roof, the sky, etc, while the landscape photo I took focuses on the mural in question.

La primera foto ya está hecha, la cancha de basquetbol, la segunda actualmente no se encuentra muy completa el paso del tiempo la ha borrado

No entendía muy bien el concepto de las jaulas o límites de las pokeparadas. Estas son las que me aceptaron en ese lugar. La revocada es xq caí en cuenta que era duplicada. Mientras en el slot me contó la cancha de basketball pero ingresar la de futbol no se pondría entonces.

En fin, cualquier cosa entonces para evitar problemas y darle un fin a este tema, pero me llevo el disgusto que el escaneo y el Google maps no se haya hecho muy bien en el sector de mi barrio, prefiero ya no seguir insistiendo esa pokeparada, no lo consideró ningún tipo de vandalismo y la comunidad de la zona tampoco, Colombia lleva algunos temas sensibles y esos valores representan lo que se ha perdido por el tiempo si hablamos históricamente. Los niños de la zona son autores de esa obra, como se dice por aquí el futuro del país. Pero da igual futuramente la zona seguirá mejorando y cada vez embelleciéndose más.

Muchas gracias por aclararme las dudas, consejos y conceptos. Aprecio mucho que hayan tomado de su tiempo colaborandome :heart:

Thank you community!
