Dear user gbczr, please use human-readable messages in your changeset comments. "#istm2024, bing" is not sufficient. Please see osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments for an explanation why this is important.

Also, it would be great if you could reduce your mapping speed and instead produce better quality data. For example, the "building" osm.org/way/1335790283 that you have added is three separate buildings in reality. And building osm.org/way/1335789624 overlaps with two other buildings that were drawn over a day earlier!

Dear Sinem Yazgı, thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap. Please choose a better changeset description than "önemli değişiklikler". See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments for more information. Also, please specify your data source when adding data. You have added POIs over a large part of Turkey which makes it implausible that you have personally surveyed the shops. Since copying from other maps (Google etc.) is not allowed, it is important for us to know where the information comes from.

Dear ikndrv, welcome to OpenStreetMap. The "changeset comment" field is intended for a human-readable description of your edits. "istm-2024 buturlinovka red" is insider code that most OSM participants will not understand. Please write a short description of the edit, and if you are taking part in an organised editing activity, please observe the rules at https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines

Dear aftab_ahmed, thank you for your contributions to OSM. Please understand that we use upper and lower case letters for English words, i.e. "Sonari Tea Estate", not "SONARI TEA ESTATE". Also, please do not use the "name" field for generic descriptions. "Sonaria Tea Estate" is a plausible name, but "HOUSES" is certainly not a name. The area osm.org/way/1223811935 was already correctly recorded as "residential landuse". Your addition of the name "HOUSES" was not necessary (and wrong). Same with many other objects - osm.org/way/1334979922 is already a building because of the "building" tag, the name BUILDING is wrong. The editor has made you aware of these "generic naming" issues but you have chosen to ignore the warning and save anyway. Please observe these warnings in the future.

A large proportion of your edits consists in entirely deleting work done by Kaart people years ago, and replacing it with your own. If at all possible, if would preferable if you could modify existing objects, thus retaining the edit history, instead of deleting and re-drawing them.

Can you explain what was "false" about the paths you removed in this change? Only 2 months earlier you had recorded the surface of some paths e.g. osm.org/way/359440316 - so you must have either seen them on aerial imagery or you must have been there in person 2 months ago and confirmed that the path exists; now suddenly it is "false"?

Dear Marcus, when uploading data to OSM, please specify a human-readable changeset comment. The Hashtag "#GWUGeog" is meaninless to all but a few insiders; it belongs in the "hashtags" field and not in the changeset comment. The changeset comment must be something that explains your edit to an uninitiated person - e.g. "mapped buildings in XY"

You have deleted more than 50 objects in this changeset. Can you explain why? This link shows the deleted objects https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=159128734 - please explain your reasons, otherwise I will have to revert this and similar edits.

Dear bvank, thank you for you contributions to OSM. When you upload a change, please provide a human-readable description of what the edit was about. We don't want hashtags in the description - they can go in the "hashtags" field. The description should read like "mapped buildings in PLACENAME" or something like that. See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments for more on this.

Also, when you create a building, do not use the "name" field to describe what the building is! If you want to map a greenhouse, search for greenhouse in the presets and choose the appropriate category; the "name" is only for cases where the building does indeed have a name (like "Tom's Happy All-Year Tomatoes" or whatever). See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only for more on the "name" field.

I have now reverted the entirety of your edits, omalabo. Your data import did not follow our import rules outlined in osm.wiki/Import - you need to discuss your edits with the community before you commit them to OSM. The community would have made you aware of the problem that everything is capitalised, or the inaccuracy issues mentioned in the discussion on changeset 158523576. There is no discussion forum for the community in Niger specifically but the Africa forum https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/africa/39 might be a good place to discuss your plans.

Hey there Laz_cam, unsure if you read this seeing that you've not edited OSM for a while - a Plextek employee has complained to OSM about the names of these facilities, saying they would like them removed for "security reasons". Are these descriptions common knowledge and/or visible from the outside, or is this "Plextek insider knowledge"?

Ah sorry I didn't look right.

Dear Karina000912, you don't have to upload every single building. You can add a few buildings and then upload them altogether.

Hallo 55Reini, bitte unterlasse künftige Bearbeitungen auf Zuruf "Einheimischer" - dieser Weg ist bereits als Privatweg markiert und bedarf daher keiner Löschung. Es gab hier in der Vergangenheit Vandalismus durch "Einheimische", nun scheinen sie sich Deiner bedienen zu wollen. Ich habe die Löschung rückgängig gemacht.

Dear Exterprook58, the Data Working Group has been contacted by a Plextek representative who took offense at the detailed naming of several Plextek buildings, claiming that "for security reasons" they would like this information removed. Can you elaborate on the source of information like "EMC hut" - is that public knowledge e.g. visible on public-facing signs or plans etc., or is it something that you would only know when you work at Plextek? (Ticket#2024110810000339)

Dear Laryssa Helena, the "name" tag is used only for things that actually have a name, like perhaps a supermarket or a restaurant. In this and other recent changeset you have given buildings names like "L07" but these are not names. I don't know what they are - the "ref" tag might be more appropriate for it. Please discuss on the Brazilian community forum at community.openstreetmap.org.

Dear pahlavi_temecula, please put a meaningful description in your "changeset comment" field. You seem to have been using "Added them" for every single edit you made - that does not make sense. See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments for details.

Please explain your reasoning for creating a bay named "Sea_PE". Is that a name commonly used by the local population, as in "hey, Sea_PE looks funny today"?
