Dear user vreimer,

you have made a very large number of edits in Canada, many of which members of the Canadian OSM community find questionable. Some edits seem to bear a close resemblance to Google data. Members of the community have contacted you to discuss this, but you have not reacted and instead continue your work. Please stop it, read your messages, and discuss your work with the community before you continue.

I am not saying you are doing something wrong (I have insufficient information), but OpenStreetMap is a community project and if you make such large-scale edits as you do, then you must be in touch with the community working in the same area.

I am not saying you have to respond to each and every message you receive but completely ignoring the rest of the community will only alienate them and may even lead to the removal of all your changes by other members of the community, which all of us would find undesirable!

Your account is blocked until you log in to read this message; after that you can continue normally but I would really ask you to be more communicative about your actions. A very good place for this would be the talk-ca mailing list (see lists.openstreetmap.org).

Best regards
woodpeck a.k.a. Frederik Ramm
