Any indication that this "cycleway" actually exists?

https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/raymondville/rayvl/hoteldetail doesn't say how many rooms the hotel has yet your OSM entry does. Same for https://www.motel6.com/en/home/motels.il.gilman.4560.html which also doesn't show a room count yet your entry does. Same for https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotels-in-emory/best-western-plus-emory-at-lake-fork-inn-suites/propertyCode.44672.html

I think that in truth you have copied this data wholesale from some booking site
, and the few links you have presented above were an insincere attempt to dodge that accusation. You have NOT extracted the information added to OSM from individual hotel web sites as you claim.

Yeah, if it is obvious that something else has been built over the railway then just delete it (or don't record in the first place). Only if visible traces remain should it be a railway=abandoned (think: we could invest a bag of cash to make this railway work again). If it's more a case of "we'd have to build a completely new railway" then don't map.

Dear kl2300031442, it is not necesssary to save every single building; you can draw 20 or 30 of them and then upload together with a meaningful changeset comment like "traced buildings in Ipurupalem" or so.

Hello TXLoganC, please do not map abandoned railways where the tracks have completely vanished under new buldings like e.g. osm.org/way/1293706556 - OSM is only there for stuff that you can still see, not for stuff that has vanished under layers of concrete.

Fedor Filimonov, you have not sufficiently explained the data source for these additions. In the changeset referenced above you admitted to copying the data from booking sites which would make it unsuitable for OSM. If you cannot show a legal source for these additions they will have to be removed again.

152898588 about 1 year ago

Dear user ellainevictoria, the "changeset comment" that you specify when uploading data is intended to tell other human mappers what you've been doing. "Added buildings" or something would be adequate, "#CIBPHMapathonJun19" is not since only a select circle of people will even understand what this is :(

Dear BC MAPANAN MITD OJT11, when uploading data to OSM, please specify a changeset comment as suggested by your editor, JOSM. For example, in this edit here you made changes to 10 parts of "Abano Street" but I have to analyse the history of the individual objects to see what you did. A good changeset comment would have been: "Fix maxspeed on Abano St" or so. See also: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

lukhav, can you explain two things: (1) was this spam deletion your very first contribution to OSM or have you created this secondary account for that purpose alone? It is unusual for new users to delete thousands of things with JOSM. And (2) what method did you use to identify what you believe to be spam and how did the node pointed out by mavl above get selected?

152814713 about 1 year ago

Fedor, your logic is flawed, You cannot take data from booking sites just because the hotels have freely added this data to booking sites. Also, you keep adding "ourhotels.com" links even though you were asked not to. I am sorry but I have to remove your edits now.

152814954 about 1 year ago

Dear aleksielias, welcome to OSM! It is customary to add a short comment describing your edits when you upload - not just ".". See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments for details. Your future contributions would be even more welcome if you could add such a comment.

152756880 about 1 year ago

Dear AVDP987, please specify human-readable changeset comments when you upload data to OSM. "#hotosm-project-16538 #tm-project #MissingMaps #Ethopia #NLRC #redcross #rodekruis # woredas1" is not human-readable. Also, creating large circular residential landuses may not be ideal since they are grossly approximated anyway - consider using less points to draw the area.

152606992 about 1 year ago

Why did you delete osm.org/way/1248998920 which is clearly visible on aerial imagery? It should have been changed to highway=construction if it isn't yet open, instead of deleting it!

152600497 about 1 year ago

Dear Fedor Filimonov, thank you for adding data sources to your changesets as requested, and for documenting your efforts on osm.wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/Hotels,_Motels,_Guest_houses. Sadly, neither "booking services" nor Google are a legal source for adding data to OpenStreetMap; the databases kept by Google and booking services are subject to database rights and/or copyright, and without explicit permission from these services we must not use that data.

152573469 about 1 year ago

Dear Fedor Filimonov, the correct website for the "Drummond Island Resort & Conference Center" is https://www.drummondisland.com/ and not the "ourhotel.store" link that you have provided. Please stop adding any hotels with a website tag that points to "ourhotel.store".

Also, if you intend to continue adding hotels, please make sure that you specify the source of your contributions in the changeset; you have added hotels across the planet and it seems unlikely that these are from survey.

If you are making these edits as part of your job, then please also comply with OpenStreetMap's "organised editing guidelines" at https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines which require you to seek community input on your activities and document whom you are working for.

152462186 about 1 year ago

Dear user "Map_Team", please choose better changeset comments than "Vetiflette". See osm.wiki/FR:Bons_commentaires_de_groupe_de_modifications for an explanation. Also, please never upload un-edited GPX tracks. The JOSM editor will allow you to simplify a geometry before uploading; we don't want one node every few meters along a straight line ;)

Hab mal eine "note" geöffnet: osm.org/note/4280701 - vielleicht schaut ja jemand vor Ort vorbei.

148103706 about 1 year ago

Thank you for your response. The approach of "delete everything once a month and replace it" is not something we do in OSM, ever. If the third-party data really is so much better than our own data then users should simply load the third-party data in addition to ours, but we shouldn't degrade OSM to be a "delivery vehicle" for third-party data.

Also, it is still completely unclear to me if IETT even agrees to having their data copied into OpenStreetMap.

These are things that need to be discussed with the whole Turkish community before an import can proceed.

I have now removed the data that has been imported by you. Thank you for making your script available; the Turkish community can take this up if they're interested and after they have clarified the legal situation.

148103706 about 1 year ago

Hello ManeraKai, importing data into OpenStreetMap requires prior discussion (see osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines). Have you discussed these imports with the Turkish community beforehand? Is the data source from which you scraped the information according to your message on Telegram even a legal data source for OSM?

152208408 about 1 year ago

Can you explain why you upgraded osm.org/way/1181411487/ - a dead-end, unpaved road leading up into the mountains - from "track" to "tertiary"?
