Hello again LockOnGuy,

On numerous occasions the DWG has tried to get you to “play nice” with other mappers in Iraq. You have consistently failed to do so, hence this block for a week.

On osm.org/changeset/146934238 you wrote “removed name:fa as its foreign and not present on the ground,”.

As a reminder, https://osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf serves as an excellent introduction to “how to map names”. In this example, it is entirely plausible that a structure such as this is referred to in Farsi as well as other languages.

For information, we have had a number of other issues raised about your behaviour and will review those over the next week or so to see if those complaints have any merit.

Best Regards,

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