Hello PropertyVIEW®

This message is to advise that a temporary block has been placed on your OSM account.

We have a number of concerns regarding your work on hotels:

• What is the source of your data? It is one of the basic principles of OSM that no data may be copied from any copyrighted source without express approval being received in advance, as this could hold OSM open for legal action, so if this is the case, this practice must stop immediately, and any invalid changes must also be reverted.

• It appears that you are, in fact, carrying out a mass import of data? If this is the case, did you discuss it with the local OSM community beforehand? Please have a read of osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines

• From your own Changeset Comments regarding “teams”, it is apparent that your work is part of an organised editing program. Have you read osm.wiki/Organised_Editing? If so, have you, once again, ever discussed these changes with the local community, and provided the required documentation?

• In regard to Changeset Comments, when other Mappers have left comments on your Changesets, pointing out issues, or requesting further information from you, you have not responded to them. In future, we would ask you to please do so, as these comments usually have a very important role in preventing errors such as these from occurring: https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=3362013

Once you have read this note, you will again be able to log-in and continue mapping in OSM.

However, if we have not heard from you with the required explanations by Friday 24 February, further action may have to be taken.

To respond, please contact us by e-mail to data@osmfoundation.org, quoting Ticket #2023021510000013 — Issue #24057.

Thank you,

Kind regards

Graeme Fitzpatrick OSMF Data Working Group
