Dear OliviaBirch,

thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap.

There have been a few issues recently with your mapping.

Firstly, your changeset comment is always “buildings added and modifications to buildings”. This is not very helpful (it is obvious). Try to explain just a little bit more the “what” and the “why”. This page explains what makes a good changeset comment: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Secondly, you are moving a lot of buildings to be in line with the imagery you’re using but often this creates mismatches between the now-moved buildings and other features. Be aware that aerial imagery can easily be five metres off. Therefore, the mass-moving of buildings is generally not advised unless you have used GPS traces to verify that your imagery is correct, and then you will carefully want to move all features, not just buildings.

Thirdly, other mappers have asked questions of you or tried to point out problems, but you never replied and didn’t change your M.O. either. Here is a list of comments you got:

It is considered good style to reply to them; you should get an automatic email every time such a comment is posted. If you don’t, check if the email address you used for signup still works.

This message blocks your account until you have read it; you can continue immediately afterwards but please try not to ignore it if people make you aware of problems.

Thank you
