Dear user Manson_Smith_359,

you have recently deleted and replaced, or renamed, a number of Mormon churches in OSM, and named them “LDS cult”.

I understand that this is not how these churches advertise themselves to the passer-by. OpenStreetMap generally observes the “on the ground” rule, i.e. we map things as they are seen on the ground, and not according to someone’s personal political/religious world view.

You are free to express your opinion that these churched form part of a “cult” but you are not free to change their description on, or even remove them from, the OpenStreetMap database.

We will revert your edits shortly.

Please do not do this again, as it violates our terms of use.

Thank you for your understanding.

Frederik Ramm for the OSMF Data Working Group.
