Hello topolusitania,

You have written to me privately asking why you should apologise for the comments that you made in osm.org/changeset/145995223 .

Firstly, you’re having an about whether something has been built yet. The other person in the discussion says they are using “survey e a imagens sentinel”. You replied “faz busca no Google e terás a resposta”. It’s not OK to use Google as a source for updating OpenStreetMap. See osm.wiki/Google etc. for more details.

Secondly, it’s important that we treat other mappers in good faith. You’re not doing that with sarcastic comments like “Ah! Erros meu, má fortuna”.

Thirdly, it’s really not OK to belittle other contributors with comments like “Rapazinho: Quando chegares ao 2º milhão de alterações no mapa, avisa-me”. That’s why I said on osm.org/changeset/145995223 that you need to apologise.

For the avoidance of doubt, see https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Etiquette .

I’ve sent this message as one that you need to read before continuing to edit. You’ll be able to continue as soon as you have read it.

Best Regards,

Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM’s Data Working Group.
