Hey Touchtehfire,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for adding your local knowledge to the map so far. If you have any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to reach out. (I will add there is an actual substation classification you can add to the one you included on the map.)
Happy Mapping!

Hey team lowkey,
I lowkey appreciate your local knowledge additions so far. If you have any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to reach out.
Take care,

Hi kiyngbert,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please be sure you are only adding real objects to OpenStreetMap, and ensure the shapes of the objects reflect their actual extent in reality. If you have any questions, let me know.
Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi xcptn,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please make sure you are only adding *real* objects to OSM! I've gone ahead and removed this stream. Let me know if you have any questions about mapping.
Happy Mapping,

Hi xMistrox,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks for your edits so far to this town. One small note--try to reserve the name field only if something is actually called that name (leaving it blank for unnamed features is fine). For example, the meadow here doesn't need a name. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
Happy Mapping,

Hi BoxyB,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I hope you are enjoying mapping. I've gone ahead and made a small modification to your edits. Generally, amenity=park is reserved for actual parks, while something that you may call an industrial park should be tagged with landuse=industrial. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks, Danny--good to know. It looks like some other people have reverted other changes too. So I am going to check each object and make sure at least someone else has touched them since the original edits.
Thanks!
Ethan

Hi dannykath,
Is this the only changeset of rimantsjana that you reverted? I am trying to remove all the fictitious edits but am getting a few conflicts for some that have been reverted--it'd be a great help to know which ones have already been done.

Hi human890209,

Thank you for your confirmation of source. In JOSM, before you upload, the source tag is at the bottom of the upload window (here :http://i.imgur.com/uTc0DrU.png). For things you survey in person, you can write "survey". Or if you use the default Bing satellite imagery, write Bing. Just make sure you do not use or list a copyrighted source like you did here. We cannot modify source tags on prior edits, but your confirmation is sufficient for them.

Thank you,
Ethan

你好human890209，

谢谢您的来源确认。 在JOSM中，在上传之前，源标记位于上传窗口的底部（此处为：http：//i.imgur.com/uTc0DrU.png）。 对于亲自调查的事情，你可以写“survey”。 或者如果您使用默认的Bing卫星图像，请写Bing。 只是确保你不使用或列出受版权保护的来源，像你在这里。 我们无法在之前的修改中修改源代码，但您的确认对他们来说已经足够。

谢谢，
Ethan

Hi Hepuricika,

I wanted to follow up from my comment a few weeks ago. Can you provide some more information about your edits in this area? Is there really a monument named Destroyed Pine Tree? And a house named Circular House? To an outsider, these look like they were possibly added falsely for one reason or another, but I am not familiar with the area. Please let us know.

Thank you,
Ethan aka FTA with the Data Working Group

Bună Hepuricika,

Am vrut să urmeze din comentariul meu acum câteva săptămâni. Pot să vă ofere unele mai multe informații despre modificările dvs. în acest domeniu? Există într-adevăr un monument numit Destroyed Pine Tree? Și o casă numită circular Casa? Pentru un străin, acestea arata ca acestea au fost, eventual, a adăugat în mod fals dintr-un motiv sau altul, dar eu nu sunt familiarizați cu zona. Vă rugăm să ne anunțați.

Mulțumesc,

人类890209，

我问一次，如果你可以请这些变化的来源发表评论。 您列出的版权来源与OpenStreetMap许可证不兼容。 我以前评论过一个多月前在osm.org/changeset/43317272。 如果您没有回覆更多资讯，我们必须复原并编辑您的编辑内容。

真诚，

Hi Mudgirl16,
You have started adding some things that exist--good! Please only do this and not include fake objects. Those pollute the data and will result in a block if you continue it. There are plenty of houses and stores that are missing that could use your help! Also one final tip: only add an actual name to an object if it is truly named that. It is okay to leave grass or footways unnamed...but only add them if they are real!
TTYL,
FTA

Reverted in osm.org/changeset/46198688

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! Please make sure you are mapping things correctly as they exist on the ground. For example, you changed osm.org/way/308379090/history from a baseball field to a cafe. If you have any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to reach out.

Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi and welcome! Could you please fill in the edit comment field? Those help us understand what people are mapping. Thanks!
Warm Wishes,
Ethan aka FTA

I can work with Joshua to try and restore some of this locally-mapped data. If any of y'all have any questions, please do get in touch at data@osmfoundation.org.

Landuse and landcover are established as things that can 'belong' in OSM given their usefulness in many different disciplines and applications, regardless of whether they are named or simply describe what is literally on the ground. In fact, some areas of Europe are nearly completely covered with landuse designations. So I think the distinction is between data that is stale, was imported a long time ago, and is of questionable quality--and data that was added by a local mapper. I'm not going to make a judgment about the import data as to whether it should be removed or not (many very old imports probably should be reviewed), but good data that has been added by someone with local knowledge and is not fictional should be retained (e.g. map what's on the ground, verifiability, don't map for the renderer: osm.wiki/Good_practice).

Hi, I think there's two different situations going on here. First, Georgia (US state) seems to have a large amount of general landuse data that was added dating back to 2009 (e.g. osm.org/changeset/1264461). I can't comment on the quality of this data with a cursory glance, but it appears to contain only a few limited types. It's a very old import and was done before there were policies and data review. Kirbert, that seems to be what you are mainly focusing on when you talk about the camo across the state of Georgia (e.g. osm.org/#map=14/33.7335/-83.9244). Second, aside from those, there are edits made by Joshua that were not an import but rather added based on knowledge of the area, such as some of those that have been deleted here.
