What to do with general "notes" ?
Апублікавана карыстальнікам Pieren 30 Красавік 2013 на мове EnglishI discovered some new (anonymous) “notes” which are not very specific. Something like “addresses are missing here” or “add buildings please”. What should we do with such “notes” ? is there any policy specifying how we can decide to close a “note” (which cannot be unclosed afterwards) ?

I would suggest we take them as an opportunity to get more contributors, maybe reply with something like “openstreetmap is a community effort, and general suggestions like this are not very helpful. Someday a contributor may take the time to collect addresses, draw building footprints, etc. (whatever the note was regarding) - but if that/those thing(s) are important to you, the fastest way to get it done is learn how. I am happy to point out resources or answer your questions as I am able to get you started. Thank you for your note.”

This is an interesting question, but I don’t understand why you’ve chosen to use the diary feature to ask it. Why not put it on http://help.openstreetmap.org ?

Because the help site always says it’s not the right place for debates. Best would be probably on the dying talk-list.

If it’s from anonymous users, I would just close it. They won’t get a notification anyway, as they have no e-mail registered.
If it comes from a normal users (even without edits), I would try to explain what Russell said.
