Hi maurice2010,

Few of the buildings and parking lots you have deleted in this changeset do exist in the satellite imagery. But the imagery is from 2013 and so old. Are you sure they have been all demolished?

Hi margonotmango,

I see that you are using JOSM. You can goto `Data` in top menu, -> Select `Revert Changeset`. You should give each changeset ID and revert. Remember that you cannot do randomly. You must revert in the order of latest to last. Please follow this guide. Once you revert all the changesets, you must upload the changes to OSM. Read osm.wiki/JOSM/Plugins/Reverter

Hi margonotmango,

This seems like a private project and the changes to the data on OSM seems to be undiscussed. Could you please revert all your changesets that have lanelet mapping. Let me know if you need help in reversion.

Hi margonotmango,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your mapping contributions are greatly appreciated. But I have observed you have been creating, tagging a number of ways at intersections with relation `type=lanelet` giving roles to ways `left` and `right`. This seems odd. I couldn't find information regarding this tagging scheme in the wiki. Can you explain the reasoning behind this and discussed source of this type of tagging scheme.

Hi Akram Dandal,

Welcome to OpenstreetMap. Your mapping contributions are greatly appreciated.

But this alpine hut you have mapped seems to have been mapped on a residential area according to satellite imagery. It would be great if you can correct this.

@SomeoneElse Thanks for your comment. Apologies for my late reply. I opened a ticket in Mapbox mapping repository to track cleanup of the user edits (https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/251) and put together a gist noting down my observations (https://gist.github.com/manoharuss/3491a33c1b163dc201a5962c26747fb3) for your reference. Would be great if you can take a look.

@SomeoneElse Received a reply from a Sri Lankan community member https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/241#issuecomment-263036509

@SomeoneElse, OpenStreetMap Sri Lanka group on Facebook seemed more active. Left a quick post to get traction. Hopefully, someone replies. https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/241#issuecomment-262752019

Hi Alexandr Apasov,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. The name tag was supposed to be the name of the business or the cafeteria in this case and not the description. It would be great if you can correct your edit.

Thanks,
Manohar

Hi jun hyuck kim,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. But I have observed that you have been giving korean names in name:en tag. name:en tag is for english. Please correct your edits. Korean names can be given in name:ko tag. Feel free to reply.

Hi Benjidevedas,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. But you have deleted place=neighborhood tags here. If these are wrong, you can correct them. Please undo these deletions if this is an accidental deletion. Feel free to reply.

Hi Donavan Paul,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your interest in contributing to OSM is appreciated. But I have observed that you have only outdoor shops with alphanumeric names. We must only map what is there on the ground with their names. Your edits do not seem reasonable. OSM is a public database. If these are your personal bookmarks, they are visible to everybody. It would be great if you can read osm.wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions and cleanup your edits. Feel free to reply.

Hi jpmartin1977,

osm.org/way/21350030/history is definitely not a track according to the satellite imagery. I have observed that all the ways edited in this changeset are tagged as tracks. It would be great if you change them back to the right tags.

Hi chunty,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. But I am guessing osm.org/node/3744041480 and osm.org/node/4226434092 correspond to a same fast food center? Feel free to reply.

@SomeoneElse sent a quick mail to Sri Lankan mailing list talk-lk. https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/241#issuecomment-260307289

Hi MisterOblivious,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your mapping contributions are appreciated. I have observed that you have deleted tracks in this changeset saying "Excessive mapping on private property". These tracks definitely exits on the imagery and I do not see how this big an area could be a private property. But deletion is not the right way in the case. If the area is private and the ways are access restricted, you can add `access=permissive` or `access=private`. You can read more about use of access tags (osm.wiki/Key:access). When access tag is present, routing services like OSRM do not route through the area which is what you would like here. Deleting the data is not the solution. Let me know what you think. Feel free to reply. Would be great if you undo your deletions here.

@SomeoneElse
Further actions here?

Hi Stephanie Landa,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your mapping contributions are appreciated. May I know why you deleted the buildings in this changeset(https://osmlab.github.io/changeset-map/#43455185). Feel free to reply.

Hi swapnil jagtap,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your interest in mapping is appreciated. But as a mapper and user of the map, you need to understand that OpenStreetMap is a public map database. It is for everybody. So one user cannot map a building and name it `my home`. The name is reserved for the name of the establishment or name of the building itself. Check out OpenStreetMap beginners guide (osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide) to know more information. You can certainly continue mapping but it is requested that you consider the standards OSM strives to meet. Feel free to message me anytime or reply here. For now I am reverting your changes into OSM.

Hi Saint_Byte,

Your mapping contributions are greatly appreciated. But I have observed that you have deleted this track and leisure playground. It exists in both Bing and Mapbox satellite imagery, may I know the reasy why you have deleted. Thank you.
