Dear Alizair19, you're editing schools all over the US and applying a hash tag of "#schools". Can you explain what or who is driving this activity? How do you choose the schools you are working on?

It also appears that this edit is similar to one that has been done a few hours ago in osm.org/changeset/105710358 by the user DhiaeAGroom whose account has meanwhile been deleted?

Dear user DMAGM, please explain what you did here. Your changeset bears the tags typically associated with the use of the iD editor. Yet you have somehow amassed 2585 previous empty changesets with this new account which makes it look like you are using some form of scripted upload. Also, this changeset contains many duplicate buildings like osm.org/way/949626613 and osm.org/way/949626320, both added on top of a building that has been existing here for 6 years, osm.org/way/342692673. This is not something that would happen during normal use of the iD editor. Please fix these problems, and explain what software and process you are using to upload these edits.

Hello DannyMcD, in this changeset you have modified osm.org/node/8569961926 to have an "addr:street" tag of "Michael Streetoqua Street". Actually you had contributed this name two months ago, and it had meanwhile been repaired to match the actual name of the nearby street, "Michael Stoqua Street". You have reset this to "Michael Streetoqua Street". Have actually looked at this, or was this a blind revert without care? Because if the street is really called "Michael Streetoqua Street" it would make sense to rename the nearby street also. What is going on here?

Sorry for not making it clear enough. I want that you explain why you reverted this. Only then will I even be able to form an opinion on whether I disagree or not. And I want that you do not ever again revert anything without giving a proper reason, something you owe to your fellow mappers who are looking at edits in the area and trying to understand what is happening.

Dear DhiaeAGroom, can you explain what happened here? You uploaded over 400 buildings with a source of "own data", and then removed them again. What kind of "own data" is this? Are you working for a construction company or planning office or something like that?

"reverter plugin" I meant to say.

Hey there DannyMcD, the use of the reverted plugin to revert whole changesets is a relatively drastic action that requires a good reason. You have not given any in this changeset comment. Why did you revert these edits?

Hello Dirk, when you contribute to OSM, you should choose a changeset comment that explains what you have done in this session. This changeset comment needs to be understood by people who do not have a HOT background. Your repeated comment of "#hotosm-project-10739 #MissingMaps_DRK #redcross #missingmaps" does not fulfil that requirement. Please try to write something like "traced buildings in PLACENAME" or whatever it is that you did. -- Also, if your editor shows you a warning about buildings overlapping with other buildings or streets, try to investigate and fix the problem - since buildings and streets rarely share the same space, one of the two must be wrong.

Dear vootza, in this changeset you have modified the name tag of osm.org/way/45073278 from Ukrainian to Russian. Given that this street is in the Ukraine, a renaming to Russian should be accompanied by a very good explanation or ideally photographic evidence. In the future, whenever you change any name tag in the Ukraine to Russian, please always provide some form of proof that this name is the primary name on signs.

Vielleicht können wir die Diskussion über "Sockenpuppen" hier beenden. Grundsätzlich darf sich jeder in OSM mehrere Accounts anlegen, da ist per se erstmal nichts Böses dabei. Vielleicht mappt einer mit einem Zweitaccount in China, weil er verhindern will, dass er bei einer eventuellen künftigen Reise dorthin an der Grenze aufgegriffen wird. Oder jemand verwendet einen Zweitaccount im Urlaub, damit nicht jeder in OSM gleich weiss, dass dieser Mapper dort Urlaub gemacht hat. Das ist alles legitim. Selbst wenn jemand in seiner Vergangenheit in OSM viel Mist gebaut hat und gerne einen "sauberen" Neustart mit einem neuen Account will, ist das noch in Ordnung. Was wir nicht erlauben, ist das Anlegen von Zweit-Accounts zur Umgehung einer Benutzersperre oder zur absichtlichen Täuschung, z.B. um sich selber in einer Diskussion "zuzustimmen" oder in einem Edit-War den Eindruck zu erwecken, es gäbe eine Mehrheit für ein bestimmtes Tagging oder so. Man kann beautifulplaces völlig zu Recht viele Vorwürfe machen, was das Mapping oder das ständige "doxen" von Privatpersonen und ihren Arbeitsplätzen (und damit verbunden haltlosen Spekulationen über mögliche geheime Agenden) betrifft, und all das zusammen ist der Grund, warum eine weitere Zusammenarbeit mit ihm hier im Projekt nicht funktionieren wird. Die Erstellung von Mehrfach-Accounts ist meines Erachtens keines dieser Probleme.

GoodClover, your comments are not helpful; I am pretty certain that rarely anybody making high-level tagging plans on the wiki and the tagging list has contacted small local communities like the Lithuanian one. Tomas is right in so far as that wiki votes and tagging list discussions are not binding for local communities to follow - even though it can of course happen that data consumers like rendering engines slowly follow "new" standards leading to those rejecting them getting a less nice map. The crucial question here is whether the Lithuanian community actually exists as a group and stands behind Tomas, in which case his rejection of FriendlyGhost's mapping would be ok, or whether this is essentially one stubborn person clamouring for souvereignity when nobody else really cares. Tomas, be careful what you wish for - any global mechanism for making authoritative tagging decisions will probably overrule a small community like yours 10 times out of 10. The current system allows everyone some leeway where they feel it is important and it works on the whole. This sometimes requires some compromise. When was the last time you changed your mind on something regarding OSM tagging? Are you only this stubborn if someone from outside of Lithuania tags something you don't like, or do Lithuanian users get the same "I have been here for over 10 years, I know what is right and you know nothing" treatment?

Tomas, could you point out how the Lithuanian community makes decisions like whether to "go for something like landuse=moat, or landuse=basin+basin=moat"?

Dear SHARCRASH, you seem to have reverted this revert in the meantime, but stil I think the user tomolobla whose work you have thought so worthless as to warrant a revert without any comment deserves an explanation. What has happened here, and why did it happen, and what steps will you undertake to make sure you will not repeat the mistake in the future?

Der SHARCRASH, this reasoning is an absolute no-no for OSM. Third parties wrongly interpreting OSM data should not be a reason to tweak OSM data so that it matches the third party's wrong expectations. And such edits should never be contained in a changeset explained with "massive edit, see details/history of the element" because the history of the element does precisely *not* deliver the required explanation. Please undelete the ways in question.

Dear SHARCRASH, using the reverter plugin should be something you do in exceptional circumstances, not your everyday way of editing. Using the reverter plugin without providing a reason for the revert, like you did in this changset, is an affront against the person whose work you are reverting. Don't do it.

I would agree with hesdrib here. Certainly not a building! Please, User58383747, repair this error. Also, please try and give better changeset comments than "Modification ajoutee" which is useless as it can be used for basically any edit to the map. Especially seeing that your edits are often faulty and need to be repaired by others, it is very helpful to explain what you *wanted* to do.

Hello there, I see you have mapped the "Bosque Creek Habitat Preserve Trail" in this changeset. Is this a public footpath? There has been a complaint by the Bosque Creek Homeowners association claiming that the path - or parts of it, I am still trying to clarify with them - are on their private grounds.

Dear Dirk, when uploading data to OSM please specify a changeset comment that is human-readable. None of "#hotosm-project-10739 #MissingMaps_DRK #redcross #missingmaps " fulfil this requirement. Explain to someone not familiar with HOT or DRK or MissingMaps what you have done and why. Also, when adding buildings, while sometimes buildings are indeed ajar, most buildings are actually square! The editor has a function to automatically square a building if you have traced it imperfectly. Use that where it makes sense.
