Dear user Brikama,

I notice that you have added almost 100,000 objects in the Gambia, which is clearly a data import that has to go through a defined process (see osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines). You cannot simply upload data to OSM; the community will want to vet the license (do we have the ok from the rights owner), and will also want to check the data quality. In your case, many of the objects had properties that make no sense in OSM, like “path=C:/Users/lenovo/Documents/Drone Deploy/SEASON 2/S2-A3/S2-A3.shp” or “CHECK=EMPTY LAND” and so on, and as such would not have been approved for an import.

A previous discussion as mandated by the import policy would have helped spotting these problems and cleaning the data before it is uploaded.

I am removing your contributions from OSM now. If you would like to pursue adding this data to OSM, please discuss the issue on the “imports” mailing list (see lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports) or email us at data@osmfoundation.org.

Best regards
