hi John

what is the base for modifying/deleting parts of Sahrawi? Your changes have been reverten during the last days but you keep on going.

Please stop that.

Hi Petros,

what are that nodes for? never ever are that schools!!!

You can't use older changes which you createted some days ago and saved to local disk. because many things have been changed in the Live Osm Database. There the conficts are coming from.
Do your corrections of streetnames and such stuff in josm without any "tricks".

Josm is an editor - so use it for edits.

And: what is about the Import guideleines? Ok, you wrote ONE mail and got only one response (from me), but that is not enough.

you must describe in wiki what your are planning to do, where the data is comming from and how you are going to import it. Especially how you will deal with existing data.
Your first try was: delete all old data und put new data in - that is the wrong way!!!

If you do that again we will revert it.

btw: i added a block of about 50 City-boundaries in germany 3 years ago. AND I DID IT BY HAND, because it was the easiest and most secure way to do it.

Please do the same: Import boundary-Ways if they don't exist and do the rest (creating boundary relations) manually with josm.

Otherwise you will fail.

One more question: Did you ever in your short osm-live create a boundary-relation by hand? If not, forget it. You need experience. I started dealing with boundaries after 2 years of mapping, because it is very difficult. and i made big errors too.

ps: please add a note here when the discussion about the import can start.

Hi petros,

the main TECHNICAL problem was: You deleted more the 260 existing relations including political boundaries of greece and macedonia. You destroid good data instead of adding only "your" data. Please be more carefull when going on with this project.
Of course only after checking and prooving the licence und doing the "I want to import data to osm"-process. (import guidelines)

macedonia has been fixed by me.

sorry, not pedro, but Petros.

Hi pedro, what in hell are you doing there? deleting 268 Relations and adding strange "fire-borderies". And you killed macedonia too. see: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=517197#p517197
It's German but look at the Image.

what are fire-boundaries and why did you delete the other reklations - including macedonia?

there are 2962 ISO-2-Codes in the OSM database.
2612 x ISO3166-2 and 350 x iso3611-2

Upper case keys are not usual but not forbidden. see key=TMC, key=FIXME and some more.

Hi, your buildings are very strange and ugly. please type s (the small letter "s") before uploading. this will rectify those buildings.

did it for this actual one.

da hast du deinen CS-Kommentar

and my question: WHY do you add these Boundaries Five Times? Please stop it right now.

Hi, any reason why you removed boundary=administrative and type=boundary from the country boundary of nepal? You just killed it completely :(

Hi, Eure Hoheit,
es ist absolut unüblich bei OSB, an Objekte postalische Adressen zu hängen, die keine besitzen.

Ich werde diese jetzt entfernen und möchte dich bitten, dieses ab sofort zu unterlassen. Postalische Adressen sollen nur an Gebäude und POI (z.B. Geschäfte), wo auch wirklich jemand "existiert".

wambacher

is drin, und 7 andere shops auch.

thank's for killing the boundaries of Lakeway and Bee Cave. you delete very very much data - any reason for it?

Hi,

you did not realize that i reverted (removed, redacted, zurückgenommen, ...) my edit 5 days ago?

Regards
walter

Hi Jochen,

the revert has been done (not by me)

i wanted to get those shores into your waterway-polygons but i found another solution.

walter

btw: sche... Spamfilter :(

und das Bio-Rittergut Rittmeyer liegt wohl auch im falschen ort.

Sorry, aber die Irrläuferauswertung (fools) "motzt".
