Hello borovac,
I’m sending this as a message that you have to read before continuing to edit for reasons that will become clear.
On osm.org/changeset/120209907 you were told two things. One was that you couldn’t copy data from wikipedia because its licence was not compatible with OSM. The other was that one of the names you had copied was rubbish.
You removed the rubbish name (thanks) but have not removed the data that you have copied that is licence-incompatible with OSM, as can be seen here https://osm.mapki.com/history/node/1264468143 . However, you did comment “Thank you for drawing me attention to the improper use of wikipedia”. This is disingenuous at best - at a time when Microsoft is trying to curry favour within the OpenStreetMap project your actions are having the opposite effect. Please immediately remove any data that you have added to OSM that is not licence-compatible with it**.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM’s Data Working Group.
** of course, wikipedia is not a primary source. One of the actual sources used to update wikipedia may be licence-compatible here, and information may be verifiable in other ways, such as an actual survey.
