Dear Ronald Way,

Instead of silently renaming roundabout names over and over, that is not a nice thing to do, I kindly ask you to answer user Falsernet about the issue he has pointed you in his/her comment.

Kind regards,

Rafael Avila Coya, on behalf of OSMF Data Working Group.

Dear Eagleeye_ZRH:

This answer to user sampeto is unacceptable. She/he is asking you to tell why you repeatedly delete a military bunker, without giving him any acceptable answer. There are other users like habi and marc_marc_repair who undeleted the object, and you keep deleting it.

You are right: OSM is a community where anyone is welcome to contribute, but we need also to be kind to each other, and answer with education when somebody rises a concern about edits. We don't need to know each other to ask questions and answer what we are asked for.

Moreover, different users are asking you to write useful changeset comments. Please do so. You have a wiki where this is explained, with examples: osm.wiki/DE:Good_changeset_comments

Lieber Eagleeye_ZRH:

Diese Antwort an Benutzer sampeto ist inakzeptabel. Sie/er bittet Sie zu erklären, warum Sie wiederholt einen Militärbunker löschen, ohne ihm eine akzeptable Antwort zu geben. Es gibt andere Benutzer wie habi und marc_marc_repair, die das Objekt wieder gelöscht haben, und du löschst es weiter.

Sie haben Recht: OSM ist eine Gemeinschaft, in der jeder willkommen ist, einen Beitrag zu leisten, aber wir müssen auch freundlich zueinander sein und mit Aufklärung antworten, wenn jemand ein Problem mit Bearbeitungen hat. Wir müssen uns nicht kennen, um Fragen zu stellen und zu beantworten, worum wir gebeten werden.

Außerdem werden Sie von verschiedenen Benutzern gebeten, nützliche Kommentare zu Änderungen zu schreiben. Bitte tun Sie das. Sie haben ein Wiki, in dem dies mit Beispielen erklärt wird: osm.wiki/DE:Good_changeset_comments

Dear usm123:

A user has reported the DWG about some apparently conflictive edits, like overuse of highway=service, the use of living_street=yes, and mass deletion of buildings to be replaced by big square tagged as building that don't match what's on the ground.

You also don't leave systematically any comment in your edits. You need to provide information of what you do in your edits. Please read this wikipage: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Please, answer any question other users are placing.

Best regards,

Rafael Avila Coya, on behalf of the OSMF DWG [Ticket#2023062310000198]

Dear Jennifer Byishimo,

User map per has contacted you about strange edits where you add giant buildings in the ocean, or tag residential areas for what they are buildings, etc. But so far you haven't answered his/her questions.

On top of that, I see that your changeset comments aren't informative. A changeset comment like "#hotosm-project-14509 #OSMRwanda #IWD" doesn't inform other users of what you have actually done. Please read this wikipage for good changeset comments: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Please, may you answer these questions before continuing mapping, and don't hesitate to ask for help if needed.

Bonjour, Mariannamukulunga :

J'ai vu que tu as ajouté à la carte 8 voies sans attributs à la ville de Bunia (Rép. dém. du Congo) :

way/933924015
way/933924016
way/933924017
way/933924018
way/933924019
way/933924020
way/933924021
way/933924022

Qu'est-ce que c'était le but de ces voies ? Je voudrais le savoir, avant de les éffacer.

Bien à toi,

Rafael.

Restauré les modifications (Revert) de ce groupe de changements, car tu as dupliqué beaucoup de bâtiments.

J'ai restauré les modifications (Revert) de ce groupe de changements, car tu avais dupliqué beaucoup de bâtiments dans la zone.

Hola, adrianbenedited:

¿Podrías contestar a la cuestión sobre ediciones usando datos del catastro que te hace kapazao? Es importante que aclares si estás importando datos del catastro o bien utilizando la capa del catastro para trazar edificios.

Te pediría que, mientras tanto, no siguieses añadiendo edificios del catastro, hasta que se aclare esto.

Un saludo cordial,

Rafael Avila Coya, OpenStreetMap Foundation, Data Working Group.

Bonjour: Tu es en train de dupliquer des cours d'eau aux alentours de Gaoua.

It seems Wado City is just a proposal, based on issues among communities during colonial times. It's not an official name as far as we know.

This issue is being handled in DWG Ticket#2022050110000027

Please: don't change or add again Wado city node(s) before consulting with other users of your community.

Dear SurviveUrDie:

It seems quite strange to have a small glacier in the middle of a lake, and at this latitude.

Could you explain/confirm the nature of this object: way/807005379

Dear turtle-bienhoa:

User vmicho has asked you a question here about deletion of many of his/her edits. Could you please explain further why you have done this?

Your changeset comments, like in this one "Minor edit" or others like "Revert to improve data later" don't give us any information. Please, refer to the osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments wiki, so you leave useful comments in your changesets.

Best regards,

Rafael Avila Coya, on behalf of the OSMF Data Working Group.

turtle-bienhoa thân mến:

Hola, Porfirio:

Dame unos días para ver esto, y vuelvo por aquí.

Rakas ahoiuiaduigfadugiadguyadgadgsda:

Käyttäjä Larmax on valittanut DWG:lle, että lisäätte väärennettyjä nimiä paikkoihin, teihin ja katuihin, kuten tässä tapauksessa.

Voisitteko vastata hänen kommentteihinsa mahdollisimman pian?

Varoittakaa, että OpenStreetMap ei ole lelu, emmekä lisää väärennöksiä kartalle, vaan ainoastaan todellisia piirteitä, joita näemme todellisuudessa.

Dear ahoiuiaduigfadugiadguyadgadgsda:

User Larmax has complained to the DWG that you are adding fake names to places and roads and streets, like in this case.

Could you please answer his comments as soon as possible?

Be warned that OpenStreetMap is not a toy, and we don't add fake things to the map, but only real features that we see in reality.

Hola, joserrg12:

En el DWG hemos recibido una advertencia de que estás haciendo ediciones mencionando fuentes de datos como INETER y Alcaldía de Managua, fuentes de las cuales no tenemos, aparentemente, permiso para utilizar.

¿Podrías especificar cuáles son las fuentes que estás utilizando para añadir o modificar nombres de objetos (calles, parques...) de Managua, algunos de los cuales eran correctos según un usuario que conoce bien la zona, y que pasaron a ser incorrectos después de tus ediciones?

También mencionas como fuente "survey", lo cual indicaría que has visitado la zona. ¿Es esto cierto?

Saludos cordiales,

Rafael Avila Coya, en nombre del Data Working Group, OpenStreetMap Foundation.

Dear Seraq:

Several users of the OSM España Telegram group have warned us at the DWG about many edits that you have done in the area of the Parque Natural de la Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas, covering areas of Jaén and Granada provinces.

I've checked some of your edits, and I can see they are quite massive.

In some cases, you have deleted polygons and other objects with apparently no reason. There are also issues about changes in objects tagging and wrong objects created by you after those deletions. Some not exhaustive examples:

1. This named residential area and hamlet, deleted: way/662912359/history
2. This relation was a landuse=forest since 2011 until 2016, when it was changed to natural=wood: relation/1359435/history
But on 29th Dec 2021 you started editing it, deleting some members (so breaking the relation), and after 6 edits you retagged it as orchard in your 7th last modification of the relation.
3. In the area were there was the aforementioned wood, you added (among probably other objects) a much smaller forest relation: relation/13657347
The outer member is tagged as landuse=forest, but outer members of type=multipolygon relations shouldn't be tagged (except optional source, fixme, note or similar tags).

We urge you to explain why you have made these massive edits in the area.

But more important, we see that since more than a year ago (since sept. 2020 to be exact), you haven't replied any comment from any user that commented in your changesets. You have exactly 14 comments in 13 changesets by 10 different users, all of them unanswered: https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=3148901

Please gives us some feedback here, so we can check together why you have done these edits and how we can correct them, or revert them.

Best regards,

Rafael Avila Coya, on behalf of the OSM Foundation, Data Working Group.

Dear JayPlaysStuff:

We have received a complain about this changeset and a bridge you created that doesn't exist. Could you please explain about this?

Best regards,

Rafael Avila Coya, on behalf of the OSM Foundation Data Working Group.

Reverted by changeset/115906139. There aren't highway=steps from France to England. Rest of edits reverted, as not trustfull according to the other 2 changeset (a café in the middle of the ocean and yet another steps from Africa to Spain)
