Hello,

I noticed you were conducting an import or mechanical edit with osm.org/browse/changeset/12207820. The OSM Sysadmins have requested that all imports, automated edits, bulk edits and bots be stopped until the redaction process has ended.

More information can be found at http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2012-July/063456.html

This block will last until you log on to osm.org to ensure you read it.

I’ve checked with the sysadmins about the server load from fixing broken imports and please go ahead and revert this one. If help is needed, contact the imports@ mailing list and/or talk@, but osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines suggests that if you do not know how to fix an import you do not import, so please keep that in mind for future imports.

As a general reminder, the other import guidelines including documentation, consultation, imports being from a dedicated account and other technical requirements can be found at osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines
