> what about the rest of this changeset?

The rest of the changeset is as described in the changeset comment,
"clean up, revert and delete spam, low quality, duplicated nodes, private maps-me bookmarks, not allowable sources, and fake names/not accurate edits"

I will give you a few examples to understand,

user added their names to the map:
node/10027513217/history
node/10028444017/history
node/10024841117/history
node/10028797117/history

node/10024583517/history
node/10028322720/history
node/10027434417/history
node/10024980117/history

Duplicated:
node/10027219128/history

node/4618068392/history

Temporary tents that are open for one week a year in a different location each year:
node/10026933717/history
node/10023420417/history

Name of the bridge, I deleted and put the name on the way:
node/5460213723/history
way/28655547/history

And I can go for hours if I want to explain each single deleted feature.
You can select random nodes if you want and I will tell you what they are.
If I go by this and explain each single deleted node then Iraq will be filled with spam because I do not have time for that! I do this voluntarily and sometimes I skip work just to help.
I do understand what you are coming from for asking as some "mappers" might give you the wrong image of me. or my edits. You can see in the Iraqi telegram community that when I take time to remove spam they start to complain and say that there is tons of spam etc...

لەکۆتاییدا! دوای ئەوەی دەیان کۆمێنتی پشتگوێ خراو و چەندین نامەی تایبەتیان بەجێهێشت، ئێستا وەڵام دەدەنەوە! تکایە بەردەوام بە لە وەڵامدانەوە.
تکایە ناوی ناوخۆیی بەکاربهێنە بۆ ئەو شتانەی کە ناویان دەنێیت.
دەتوانی لە ناوچەکانی کوردستان و ناوچە کوردنشینەکان ناوی کوردی بنێیت، بەڵام لەو شارانە نا کە کورد کەمینە و عەرەب زۆرینە.

Sure, I will make a very detailed descriptive changeset comment next time, while for this one I already answered in: changeset/126181005
Thanks.

I said which is not the language the post office use, the point of the the address tag is for addressing places, the Emergency services, post office and mailing, and all government factors in this city uses the Arabic language since 2017.

> There is no justification to say that Kirkuk is an Arabic-only city
I never said that, I only say Kirkuk is an Arab majority city.

See the provided node above for example, it's in an Arab only neighborhood, had only Arabic name since day one, and this user came and changed it to Kurdish, I can give you hundreds of examples where tons of mappers who added POI in Arabic and he changed them to Kurdish only removing the Arabic entirely.

126248699 over 3 years ago

Sure, I'll explain this to all non-Iraqis as local Iraqis know this fact very well.
Religious places in Iraq are controlled and supervised by Endowment Office, the Shia religious places are controlled by the Shia Endowment Office, and the Sunni religious places are controlled by the Sunni Endowment Office. And all religious places should be registered, other "religious" places whether it's a mosque, a shrine, or any religious site that is not registered considered illegal in Iraq, and the one who opened them faces a lawsuit. This is exactly what happened a couple of weeks ago when a fake religious site, Qatarat Imam Ali that is unregistered collapsed and killed women and children which ignite anger and furious among the Iraqis, so this even made the lazy government act and close the fake religious sites and prosecute the owners. Also on top of that, the names used by the mapper are not Arabic nor Iraqi it is not local and we can not even read them without a translation.

Sure,
Here is examples of the signs in Kirkuk, all of them are made after 2017.

in: https://i.ibb.co/9pVBd0W/image.png
You can see, from top to bottom, Arabic, English, Kurdish, and Turkmen.

same for:
https://www.ina.iq/uploads/posts/2022-08/upload_1660737949_1986171945.jpeg

And there is ones with only Arabic and English,
You can see here that Kurdish tv channels from Kurdistan region are complain about the removal of kurdish language from the signs that the kurds put in the time between 2003-2017 when they controlled the city:
an article:
https://zagrosnews.net/ar/reports/32151
A video showing the new signs with only Arabic and English and no Kurdish:
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=958105828180760

And there is still alot of old signs that are pre 2003 that is only Arabic and English only.

Best Regards.

Hello, I use this changeset comment for the scheduled maintenance of removing the spam and wrong edits in Iraq every few days. they are a lot to revert each one in a single changeset. I'm the only one in the Iraqi community who reverts such new wrong edits in Iraq, I've taught other mappers for using the reverter plugin and osmcha but I'm still the only one who does such clean-ups which was approved by the community.
The way you mentioned was a part of a problematic edit by a foreign mapper that I reverted in full. if you want full details of how this is problematic and illegal, let me know and I will explain.
Regards.

124983263 over 3 years ago

Sure, I put the one exactly as it was written on the street signs.
Main name on top of the sign is in Arabic and there was 5 other languages on the bottom included English, Kurdish, Turkmen, and Syriac. We can not put all the secondary names on 'name' tag too, the main one on top should be the one. Regards.

126181005 over 3 years ago

@SomeoneElse Sure! He changed many street names from Arabic to Kurdish, he changed neighborhood names too, and he changed even religious places names for Kurdish for no reason, for example, node/9507768017/history
He changed the address tag to Kurdish which is not the language the post office use for mailing services in this city.

126251720 over 3 years ago

Source of the name?

126155960 over 3 years ago

Thank you! keep up the good work!

126232216 over 3 years ago

Why did you change the English name here?
There is signs in English that says Valley of Peace there.

126239355 over 3 years ago

Why did you remove name:ar from node/4780037324 ?

126243462 over 3 years ago

Why do you keep changing the name?
I left you a comment in changeset/126079467 you made 4 days ago, asking you for a reason and you ignored me, Please answer before changing this feature again. I left you many comments on other changesets too, see them at https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=4800812
I will revert this changeset, and will be forced to report it to DWG if you keep changing and do war edits without a giving a reason for the change.

126235884 over 3 years ago

So, we have an agreement?
these 5 place=neighborhood to be in bilingual and any other neighborhood be in Arabic only including the city and other objects?
If yes then I will change these 5 neighborhoods to bilingual now and you promise to not change anything else again or do what you did in Ankawa and others in any other places.
Leave the Arabs for me, I know how to deal with them, I will talk to each one of them who complained here in OSM and the OSM telegram groups and will revert their changes if they remove these bilingual names.

>The word Khasa is very ancient I dont know it came from where and I dont even care .
You claimed that you're Yezidi, and you don't know the meaning of the word? The word "خاس" is used by the Yezidis for the religious Yezidi sites. a Yezidi who doesn't know this? Very strange...

You mentioned a Facebook page as a source? for real? I can also give you tons of Facebook pages and groups for those neighborhoods and these groups and pages are only in Arabic and I bet you already know them. This proves nothing.

in your last comment, you mentioned a video, who made it? Kurdistan24, the official channel that is backed by the KRG that called the Iraqi Army terrorists just because they took control of Kirkuk back from the Kurds back in 2017. Please use neutral sources, I can also give you lots of videos from the Turkmen who say they are the majority in Kirkuk which is absurd. They also say this on their tv channels.

Since you mentioned 5 neighborhoods, "Raheemawa, Imam Qassim, Iskaan, Shorja, Panja Ali" and claimed that they are pure Kurd, which is not the ground fact, but I'm open to accepting the fact that these neighborhoods to be in a bilingual names just for you to stop this nonsense and promise to not change anything else again and everything else should be in Arabic only I'll accept it just to stop the headache!. I can talk with other mappers and try to convince them to accept this too and will post an announcement if you agree with this.
Are you open to end this headache and have only these neighborhoods names in Bilingual and everything else in Arabic in Kirkuk? if you accept I will keep maintaining them and revert any removal of the Kurdish name in these neighborhoods.

Regards.
