Hello QuantPy

This is being sent as a message that you have to read before continuing to map.

Following reports from other Mappers, we have some concerns about your work, including such things as: adding a road’s existing name as a description, and removing existing details from power stations.

However, our primary concern is the source/s of your information?

Your changesets all say that you mapped from aerial imagery, but you have added a lot of details that simply aren’t visible. Several of your Changesets make reference to AEMO data, others refer to individual copyrighted websites, while some list no source at all?

We have to ask where you got your information from, and, where applicable, whether you have obtained permission to make use of these various data sources?

Once you have read this message, you will again be able to log-in and continue mapping in OSM.

However, if we have not heard from you with the required explanations by 28 March, further action may have to be taken.

To discuss this matter further, please contact us by e-mail at data@osmfoundation.org quoting: Ticket#2025032210000031 — User “QuantPy”)

Thank you,

Graeme Fitzpatrick Moderator OSMF Data Working Group
