Dear Nicole Achen_DE,

it appears that you are editing OpenStreetMap on behalf of a website/organisation called “eatbu”. Please read our organised editing guidelines to understand what is expected before such editing can commence.

You have added website URLs to many existing hotels. While in theory this is a welcome addition, the URLs you added do not point to the official web site that the hotels operate (e.g. for the recently edited node/12337768391 that would be https://www.adinahotels.com/en/apartments/vienna-belvedere/), but instead your to a third-party website. This is unwanted in OSM; hotels can be booked through myriad websites and we do not want to promote any of them over another.

Further, you have added tourist apartments to OSM, which, again, is in theory welcome; however, again these apartments contain links to a third-party booking site which is not the exclusive booking site for these apartments. What’s more, you have abused the “name” tag to describe the apartments, for example node/13019297696 now appears on our map as “115m2 Luxury Flat - 3 Balconies - Free Parking”. Neither the fact that is supposedly “luxury”, nor the number of balconies, nor the size or the parking situation, belong in the “name” tag; you are essentially abusing our map for your advertising here.

I will have to revert your contributions. If you are interested in contributing to OpenStreetMap without attempting to advertise, a good first step in line with our guidelines would be to discuss your planned contributions with the Austrian community at https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/at/59.

Best regards
