Hello “they”,

Andy from the Data Working Group here. We’ve received a complaint about an undiscussed import which other users have contacted you about in osm.org/changeset/73687031 3 months ago.

To reiterate what was said there, we’ll have to revert the import unless you can answer the questions successfully. OpenStreetMap is not a dumping ground for any data that you can find regardless of quality; adding rubbish to the database devalues the work of everyone taking more care to only make high-quality edits. In addition to this, we’d also need to ensure that any data to be added is licenced appropriately.

If you’d like to discuss this with the DWG you can do so via email at data@osmfoundation.org . IF we don’t hear back we’ll need to revert at least some of your edits.

Best Regards,

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