Grüezi dikke,
I've noticed you have been busy with a number of mappers who are the victims of maps.me, not just obvious from the changeset tags, but the `Updated a wasauchimmer' changeset comment. (To me it is obvious from your descriptions of the problems, before looking at the details, the problems are so common...)
I appreciate your efforts, but be aware -- if you are not already -- many maps.me users never respond to or see your comments, and the way maps.me seems to handle languages in name and name:lang does not match the osm-carto rendering, leading to unnamed amenities.
Further, I don't know if maps.me gives its users access to enough name (or other) details to be able to correct things to match OSM conventions.
As such I'd encourage the user to graduate from Einsteigerdroge maps.me into something a bit more powerful and capable, particularly if you know the problems are an inherent limitation of maps.me.
Which is probably too much for the typical maps.me user, after whom I've been cleaning these past days.
Just a random observation...

Hallo Ko(n?)styantyn, thanks for replying.
Please note that OpenStreetMap also places great value on the Open part, both in being open to communication, as well as being about about how one works, including sources.
The changeset comment allows you up to 255 characters, and I often use most of them in explaining what I do in excessive detail.
To help with the communication, I also suggest you make use of the OSM Notes in the areas where you work, to see if people are asking questions about the work you have done.
I will mention a recently-re-opened note, note/1331247#map=19/37.77797/-122.22198&layers=N , which is an area in California where one of your cow-orkers, Irina if my memory serves, has made quite a few errors.
This is correctly re-activated by another of your team, because while the user Adam Ant attempted to fix this, his quick solution created a road island.
I cannot really see from Mapbox aerial imagery how all the autos get where they are, but I suspect it is under tree cover and fairly easy to see.
.
When working in an area, you should always look at all the available imageries to see which is newest, although this will take some time and it is only valid working in one particular place. I can say that DigitalGlobe Standard is the newest in the California location because I had to delete some work your team had done there, leaving the note open.
If it is possible, open a smaller window in your editor with a different imagery. I know I can do this in Potlatch2, with clean and detailed Mapbox backgrounds in the main editing window, and the floating window having what I suspect is the newest, so that it is clear when the two imageries do not match.
.
You are encouraged to open a Note when it is not clear what is correct in any location, or if you have questions. That is a way that other mappers, such as myself, can communicate and help.
Remember, most mappers will want to help you to do good work, and want to be sure your team makes no mistakes.
There is no guarantee someone will see and reply to the note, but I try to keep a regular eye on them and have been happy to help both the Telenav and Microsoft teams recently in addition to any other mapper with questions.
.
About your second account, I am sure Andy can help with that. But many mappers have multiple accounts for different roles in OSM. If you use your latinish Constantium for your paid work, but your Witcher_UA account for personal non-work activity, there is no problem. I have seen this often with the Telenav team, but there the names are close enough to be clear of the connection..
.
Again, do not hesitate to try to communicate in changeset comments and through Notes, and always remember the Open in OpenStreetMap.
thanks
Openbeer

Hallo Miguel,
I can see from https://nrenner.github.io/achavi/?changeset=56488181 that a simple revert will restore the names, as there were no other changes here.
That could save you some work. After that, you could link to documentation of you wish.
Would you like me to do this for you?
I will also look at some of the other changesets that have come up in discussion (you can post a list if you have one).

Has this discussion not gone off-track?
This changeset has affected only one way, seen in way/158009267/history .
It was created as version 1 six years ago as part of a larger changeset with Potlatch and no source given.
Version two was modified by The Black Knight here. As can be seen at https://nrenner.github.io/achavi/?changeset=56183221 there are no geometry changes to this track, the only change being to add a note= tag based on personal observation of the on-the-ground (underground) status of the track as it is.
.
The discussion over amtliche Karten has nothing here to do with the six-year-old data present in OSM. It has never been used as any source -- in fact, the under-the-ground reality contradicts what is in the official maps.
The only bearing it has here that I can see from my perspective is that Sir Knight has a beef with the farmer and the new reality, irrelevant to OSM, and does not want to meekly accept the path disappearing and legitimise that action within OSM. I have no problem with this, it is a matter entirely outside of OSM.
No copyright violation has occurred here in the last six years if ever.
.
Sorry to have put my nose here where it doesn't belong, and sorry to write in english.
