Dear user welikala,

it appears that you are the same as the user Amilawelikala who has been working in a team with rashini_slt, Niroshani and others, adding POIs in Sri Lanka that are copied from Google’s maps.

We have asked you, and your colleagues, several times to please get in touch before you continue adding data (e.g. osm.org/user_blocks/2849) but you never have. Please contact dwg@osmfoundation.org to discuss what you want to achieve. We are more than happy to accept data that you have surveyed but we cannot accept data copied from Google sources.

Until your team gets in touch and we can make sure you have understood that copyrighted information has no place in OSM, we will have to continue removing your contributions.

Thank you for your understanding. Frederik Ramm
OSMF Data Working Group

Update 21 Jul: Extended block because other accounts of the same group continue adding data after block expires, without making contact.
