Much as you might want to stick it to Trump, Orban or Netanyahu we have a map of the whole world here and should be doing our best to deliver it. The same goes for cancelling Volodymyr Zelensky, William Rufo, Friedrich Merz, Vladimir Putin, Emmanuel Macron, Mark Carney, Paul Biya, Bongbong Marcos or Keir Starmer.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the whole world and its diversity is better for including Africans and the map of Africa that they create.

The baseless "Whats on the Ground" vs the factual "Actual Nature of the Road"

You still don’t get it, do you? You’ve persuaded the other mappers to react with extreme negativity towards the Major Traffic Network when they might have taken it more seriously , because they associate it with your antics.

the DWG rules placed on my edits have already ruined the map
