Hello,
Sorry, a bit frustration with these forum windows always shutting down before I can successfully submit and I have to re-explain all this! So here is for trying again.
On 2025-09-26, while I was in my hometown prior to Vancouver City Safari was, I went to see my dad and I was able to finally get this submission since I usually come home in the summer and the parking lot is always busy here for me. So it was on a “to do list”.
Anyways, I finally got in and received an approval for my submission: “China Kitchen”.
It has a lot of memories for me from when I was a kid where we would dine with friends and family and it’s been around since 1990! I feel old. 
The coordinates of my submission exists at: 49.21633744213452, -122.58948038743854

In early November, I saw a screenshot from my hometown discord where a trainer asked other members if they wanted a remote max battle sent to them. They provided a screenshot from the game for “China Kitchen Restaurant” powerspot.
For the moment I was bummed it was not a stop, but happy there was a power spot of this, as this has value to the game. However, then I remembered… I submitted this as “China Kitchen” without the Restaurant at the end. So now I was confused. I confirmed from a friend thereafter that there was definitely no stop in the game, so I was going to investigate on my next visit home.
Fortunately, I had an extra trip home on 2025-11-29, so I took the opportunity to spark my curiosity during the week long trip to investigate the matter returning by returning to the location and checking via “uploads > new pokestop”
Firstly, it appears I might have had one oversight as I see two “!” as per below. One is this concept of “import” that is for “China Kitchen Restaurant”. I think I might have overlooked this in the circumstances during submission, maybe because it’s on the pizza place next door. However, I am not sure why this didn’t get marked as duplicate, but based on the forums I read, this may not be visible to the community.
Secondly, however, to my anxiety in that moment, I noticed that my pin was accidentally placed in the parking lot and not on the building as I intended for it.
I recall the game crashed during the first submission I took on 2025-09-26 requiring me to reload the game and resubmit. During the resubmission, I recall a car pulled up to the left of me and I start feeling rushed to not lose my opportunity with getting this in, particularly the photo of the location (as this lot was always busy in previous summer visits). Sadly, I appear to have overlooked that the pin was at the location of taking the photo and I did not move it on the building as I did in the original submission that crashed.
I am disappointed though that voters who approved my submission did not identify or correct the pin during voting 
.
Through the upload screen, I have simulated below using the “set location” where the pin should be been intended to be:
With my explanations of walking through my own submission, I am hopeful I am not in trouble . I am thankful I was able to walkthrough (and thankful to have gone to my hometown as it is 4,400 km from where I live).
However, we have two issues to reconcile with this submission.
Thank you in advance.
