What logic is behind these changes? What exactly is "fixed"? Why was, for example, way 282831734 changed from primary_link to residential when primary_link at least superficially seems to be the correct choice?

Hallo ThomasDDT, das Wort "ergänzt" steht im Deutschen meist dafür, etwas hinzuzufügen. Du hast relativ viele Changesets, in denen Du behauptest, etwas zu "ergänzen", in Wahrheit aber etwas löschst. Warum zum Beispiel wurden in diesem Changeset zwei Grünflächen gelöscht? Bitte erkläre uns das.

It appears that you are shortening the names of many roads (Road to Rd, Street to St and so on). Is there any sort of community consensus in Burma about these kinds of edits? Because in other parts of the world - eg the USA - the community has decided to use the long names (automatic shortening is easier than automatic extending). In the future please use the "changeset comment" feature to explain what edits you are making and/or why.

You have been deleting a couple of buildings recently, like in this changeset, even though they are still visible on the Bing aerial imagery. You have not used a changeset comment to explain why these buildings have been deleted. Have they been destroyed? Please explain.

This reverts changeset 27867757.

Reverted in changeset 28095080. Any future similar edits must adhere to the existing mechanical edit policy.

This is a rather large-scale mechanical edit. Has it been discussed before it was executed? Otherwise I'd ask you to please revert it and secure a community consensus before you run it again.

You had made a large amount of mechanical edits interspersed by a few manual edits. The changeset comments were not suitable for determining whether something was a manual edit or a mechanical edit. I would normally have reverted *everything* done by you in that time span but instead I made an effort to look into the changesets and leave those in place that seemed to be manual edits. It is quite possible that even though I invested that time to understand your insufficiently described edits, *some* manual edits were still in the list and accidentally reverted as collateral damage.

I agree. This does not, however, mean that you can simply chnage all landuse=wood to landuse=forst (or natural=wood) automatically. Your changesets have not been reverted because the content was wrong, but because the process was wrong.

This looks like an un-discussed import. I cannot find anything on the Wiki or the imports mailing list about it. Are you aware of osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines? Please explain.

DWG has been contacted about the automated edits by Test360 and is reverting them. Thank you for dealing with the situation in your area already - but next time it would be great if you used the changeset discussion feature to actually express your criticism in the changeset that causes the problem rather than in your changeset comment! That way the message is sure to reach the person who made the changes.

Please do not make any such mechanical/global edits without first discussing them in the appropriate place. See osm.wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy for background.

You have accidentally classed the Philippine Continental Shelf EEZ as an "administrative boundary" leading to it showing on the map. This is undesirable and creates tension with other mappers in the region. I have changed it to a maritime boundary.

I am writing in my capacity as a member of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group. Please everybody calm down. It is indeed usual in OSM to not let a bridge terminate at junctions (see osm.wiki/Bridge#How_to_map), and while in engineering/construction terms the bridge might perhaps indeed extend to the junctions, it is customary for OSM to start the "bridge" tag only where there's actually air between the ground and the road. I have changed this again and would ask everyone to accept that. I will have to consider further back-and-forth editing an edit war and have all involved users blocked temporarily.
