Dear User serge56,

you have contributed a lot of data over the past months. This is great, and of course it does not go unnoticed. Since nobody can possibly survey that much, the community is wondering about the source that you are using.

Could you kindly add a "source" tag to your changesets in the future indicating where the data is from, so that other community members can satisfy themselves that the data is sourced in keeping with OpenStreetMap's license and the licenses of other mapping services? As you will certainly know, OSM mappers must be very cautious in selecting their sources and must not trace from copyrighted material.

Also, community members have tried to contact you about this in the past and you have not answered. Of course we cannot force you to respond to each and every email but if a fellow mapper has legitimate queries about your work, then you should not simply ignore that.

This message blocks your account until you have read it; afterwards, you can continue normally.

Thank you
Frederik Ramm (aka woodpeck)
