Hi jithendrar,

you seem to be part of some kind of team, company or any other type of organization which directs and/or pays people to edit OpenStreetMap data in a certain way. Could you please add to your user profile page who pays you and what you are told to map? The OpenStreetMap community expects anyone who is directed to edit something or paid for editing, to reveal that information.

Which website do you use to edit OpenStreetMap?

Please answer this questions before you upload any other changesets.

Best regards

Michael

Hi,

please don't use Bing Streetside imagery! We don't have the permission to do so, do we?

Best regards

OSM is not a project to explore the grey areas of copyright. We try to be whiter than white.

If 100 users look up 10 items at a copyrighted source, we will have a copy of that source in OSM. One is one enough.

Revert gestartet, Benachrichtigung erfolgt bei Abschluss

Hallo,

ich werde demnächst mal eine Diskussion im OSM-Forum starten, ob man die Klassifizierung der Landes- und Kreisstraßen im Landkreis Südl. Weinstraße als secondary/tertiary in OSM mal überarbeiten sollte. Die hier diskutierten Straßen sind ein Beispiel, ein anderes sind aber auch Strecken wie Eußerthal–Taubensuhl, das als Stichstrecke wohl kein secondary verdient hat. Aber auch östlich der Hardt gibt es genug Straßen, denen man mal mit Mapillary und Luftbildern (Breite messen) auf den Zahn fühlen sollte.

Wenn ich die Diskussion im Forum starte, werde ich den Link hier noch ergänzen, sodass ihr (Wegabschneider treibt sich ja im Forum rum, aber du Pfälzer669 nicht) davon Bescheid wisst.

Viele Grüße

Michael

… and I won't revert it today.

@hvalentim I haven't started the revert yet (but if you had asked me in 10 minutes, you would have been to late ;-)).

@ViritanoLusitano I am not really convinced by the link you provided. That's a link to the dataset but I don't find anything about copyright there.

Please keep in mind that CC-BY is not compatible to our license. https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/

Yes, I will do later today.

Hi hvalentim,

thank you for the link to the user diary. However, it is still an import because you use a third-party data source and that source is no aerial or satellite imagery or street-level photo.

It's sad to say it but just copying data from shape files into OSM is already a lot of work but we must know if we are permitted to use and distribute that data or if we would violate copyright laws by using it. That's one point which a proper documentation of the import on the wiki should mention. The discussion which is the second important point of the Import Guidelines gives other contributors from abroad the possibility to review it and point out mistakes before they are done in the OSM database.

Best regards

Michael

Hi Rizki907,

why did you delete buildings in this changeset another user drew a day before and replace them by your own buildings?

Hi hvalentim,

this changeset seems to be part of an import. Where can I find the documentation of this import on the OSM wiki? When was this import discussed on the international imports mailing list?

Admin boundaries are fragile in OSM. Therefore, I ask you to immediately stop this import and answer these questions as soon as possible.

If you cannot prove that this import complies with the import guidelines, I will revert quite quickly [1] it because there are some quality issues with the data you uploaded.

[1] Boundaries in OSM are fragile and I want to minimize damage when I revert your import.

Die Diskussion geht unter https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=694583#p694583 weiter.

Hi corb555,

sorry, we (some German mappers) accidentially attributed you to a group of mappers (from India?) who did pseudo-QA work on the road network and tried to fix some kind of potential errors but made things worse. However, you are also active on Saturdays and Sundays but the members of that group are not. In addition, your edits are more focussed on one or two regions while their edits span worldwide.

Best regards

Michael

@geow Magst du der DWG bitte eine Mail schreiben. Er wurde schon einmal auf die Seite DE:Key:phone hingewiesen. changeset/44826638 http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=364815

Hi corb555,

Please do this before you upload any further edits to OpenStreetMap. If you continue editing without informing the community, we will block your accounts and revert all your edits!

Please tell all your workmates about this message. It applies to all of them.
