Reason for block:

Here we go again, for the third time.

I asked on talk-ca both earlier and at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2022-May/010416.html if people could review edits in their area.

Not all feedback has yet to hit the mailing list (and some was via Slack) but https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2022-May/010417.html is pretty typical of the comments. Quoting from that:

  1. They’re absolutely lying about the sources they’re using.
  2. They’re absolutely using Google Maps as a source.
  3. Whatever other sources they’re using beside Google Maps, those contain poor or incorrect information.

There are other statements at https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=15467027 that are demonstrably false, for example osm.org/changeset/120074372 and osm.org/changeset/120101768 .

I’ll apply this block while we revert, again, and then once that we’ll have to think about what to do next. If we do revoke this block, I suspect we’re going to have to ask for every edit to be reviewed on a one-by-one basis.

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