First of all OSM is not a company and I'm not its employee, so your threats are empty.
But, oh please, do take it up with Upland. They would very much love to hear how their own users are sabotaging Upland project by adding copyrighted data to OSM which then gets imported into Upland. Upland would love to have to fight a copyright lawsuit against Google, Yelp and Yahoo. Please, do tell them everything that was going on. Please also tell them how you intentionally create wrong tags and map non-existing features.
And I'll just put these 2 links here for easy reference:

Hello.
When making edits in OSM, please try to group your changes into smaller geographic areas, such a neighborhood or a city or at most a county. That way it makes it easier to review edits and spot any potential mistakes. 👍

I don't need to prove anything. All edits by you and other uplanders are nicely documented and they speak for themselves and DWG is well aware of them.

I'm not against upland. I don't care about upland.
I'm against uplanders vandalizing OSM map by making intentionally wrong edits just so that you get a pretty label in your game to increase value of your fake property.

If you make real, legitimate edits, without blatantly copying from copyrighted maps and intentionally breaking tags so it looks pretty in upland I and others have no problem.

However, 99% of edits coming from upland are either vandalism or copyrighted data. Prove me wrong.

Ok, so you google my name..Now what? You'll doxx me?

black list of vandals? what are you talking about?!
I do not care who edits the map. Intentionally wrong edits will be corrected.

I know perfectly well what NFT is. Can't wait to see upland on https://web3isgoinggreat.com

Age or race makes no difference. If you intentionally continue to make wrong edits to the map, even after being told about that, how else should that be interpreted?

OSM is about mapping what's on the ground.
You can read more about it at osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground
There's an apartment building there. But that building's name is NOT Bobby Fischer's Childhood Home.
There's no commercial area around the whole block called "Bobby Fischer's Childhood Home". Nor is there a park behind buildings named like that.

121911028 over 3 years ago

If there's a plaque signifying that building as such, you are welcome to map the plaque itself. But it is inappropriate to tag the building or surrounding areas the way you did.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can also join osm US Slack server and/or Discord server if you prefer communicating that way.

That nyc.org page states that there's consideration of building a housing on that site and some sort of memorial. So once those features are there(even once construction starts), it'd be great to add them to OSM.

122121591 over 3 years ago

You can map this organization itself with a node at their official address.
And once there's a boundary for that graveyard, it'd great to map it as well.
But while there's nothing on the ground to define this feature, it's misleading to map it. You can read about these concepts that at osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground and osm.wiki/Any_tags_you_like#What_not_to_map
Also please note that cemetery and graveyard have separate meanings in OSM.
amenity=grave_yard
landuse=cemetery

They haven't replied to any changeset messages sent to them about issues with their edits.

This editor did the same thing in 121393300, 121393587, 121393743, 121394107, 121395223, 121911028.
They are vandalizing the map to make it look the way they want in upland game.

122121591 over 3 years ago

I've seen that site from your tags. However, OSM is about mapping what's out there in the world _now_. From what I can see on satellite imagery, there are no signs left of that cemetery/graveyard. If there are any signs, plaques, monuments or other physical things present around that location, you are most welcome to map them. However, a cemetery or a graveyard that existed at some point in the past but not any more would be more suitable for https://openhistoricalmap.org rather than OSM.

If they were originated from copyrighted sources, yes.

122131660 over 3 years ago

In addition to what you mentioned, there are also sources that have compatible licenses with OSM and they can be used for mapping.
You can also take a look at osm.wiki/FAQ#Why_OpenStreetMap? And numerous other articles on copyright on OSM's wiki.

122131528 over 3 years ago

You didn't add that data from from that website. You took it from another copyrighted source and as such it will be deleted.
Please see osm.wiki/FAQ#Why_don't_you_just_use_Google_Maps/whoever_for_your_data?
If you continue to add copyrighted data, your account will be referred to DWG.

Considering you map for upland, and considering in the past virtually every single edit from upland-related people have been either straight up vandalism or taking copyrighted data, I find it hard to believe that you have a friend that was there.

122131599 over 3 years ago

Considering you map for upland, and considering in the past virtually every single edit from upland-related people have been either straight up vandalism or taking copyrighted data, I find it hard to believe that you have a flyer to a local biz, while not being local to NYC. Would you mind showing that flyer?

Hello uplander.
Why did you change this node's tag and location?
Previous tag is more accurate to this business' function and previous location is more accurate to the storefront.
