Ok, so I have a little issue here. There’s a church where I live that has been around since 1926, and has been at its current location since 1983. It used to be called First Assembly of God, but it changed its name to Northview Church in 2018. They didn’t change their denomination, still a part o…

No, it’s the same sign, just with the current name on it. There are other photos there with the old name on the sign, some more than 10 years old, so most likely was an Ingress import to PoGo, or just an import from another 3rd party source. Nothing has changed for the sign or the church except fo…

In poking around stuff around here, I noticed that a lot of churches have undergone various types of rebranding (changed names, closed and a new congregation taking over the premise, etc). And it can often been seen in both wayspot images and historical data like GMaps Street View “other dates” fea…

The denomination of this church didn’t change, nor has it ever closed. It’s been around since 1926, which is listed on their website.

I think I might go for the edits. I checked the lat/long in Lightship to Google Maps, and the pin is at the entrance of the church, not the sign. [Screenshot 2024-11-06 001721] The sign is at the southeast corner of the parking lock, at the corner of 25th St S and 35th Ave S. If I have to appea…

Not sure if I have misunderstood but the picture of the sign is acting as the photo for the actual church. The title is clear that the POI is the church. In that case the pin location should be on the church, and I would expect it to be at the entrance. So if that is where it is, it should stay pu…

Hi @DTrain2002 I found this former post which is similar: [image] Church name change rejected Nomination Support Hello. I’m fairly new to this and I submitted a new image of a church sign because the church has changed its name from Farley Street Baptist Church to Pathwa…

I’m not wanting to move the location at all; I want it to stay on the entrance of the church, which is where it’s currently at. The sign really isn’t deserving of its own Wayspot. The photos are are mix of this sign with the new and old name on it, if I remember correctly, but it’s the exact same …

If you’re worried about repurposing, maybe Help Chat is a better option than doing the edit yourself? That way if something is against a policy they just wont do it and you wont get in trouble Personally it makes complete sense to me to just update it all, but Niantic’s policies on repurposing mak…

[image] DTrain2002: I’m just wondering if I can submit both a title and description edit, especially to update the church to it’s current name Absolutely, you can. The church has changed its name. [image] DTrain2002: or would that be viewed as trying to repurpose the Wayspot No it won…

[image] NianticAaron: No it won’t. It would have been repurposing had there been a different church at the same location, which is not the case. I honestly don’t understand this sentence. When is a church ever rejected? If you’re never going to reject a church, why does it matter if it’s “the…

Would a title edit be considered repurposing? Local church that just changed name, nothing else
