Dear chris14679, please don't use names like "Footpath to school" - see osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions for a discussion of the concept.

165862159

The DWG has received this complaint but we will not intervene. It is acceptable for the complainant to add "informal=yes" if they want (or even "access=private" if they clearly mark the area as private access); it is not acceptable to delete the footpath altogether if it is visible on the ground.

Hello Phút, can you explain on what basis you changed the Vietnam border in this changeset?

Also, please make it a habit to use "good changeset comments" as described in osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments - don't write "hi" in the changeset comment field.

Hello Tewuzij, please be friendlier in your interactions with other mappers. User Phút has only been with OSM for a few days, and while they did make a mistake here, there's no reason to shout commands at them in capital letters.

Hello Tewuzij, please don't just revert a changeset created by another mapper - explain why you feel a revert is necessary, and inform the other mapper why you did a revert. If something is disputed, seek a consensus in the community before you revert.

Dear Trần Xuân, when you upload changes of administrative boundaries, please provide a source (since these are not visible on aerial imagery, you must be copying them from somewhere), so that we can be sure that the source is good and legal to use.

Dear MenKauRa, pleae explain why in this changeset you removed name:ru from many places. This deletion is not sufficiently explained by your changeset comment.

163008826

Dear Mehmet Bey, can you tell me the source of this edit? Is there a sign on the building that explains this is "Aliağa Kaymakamlık Lojmanı"? Is this a government office or a private residence?

Hello Jay May, can you share the precise reasoning how a simple hamlet named "СТ Урожай" accrued the tags:

int_name=Egin Jïnaw
int_name:prefix=bağbandıq qoğamı
name=Егін Жинау
name:kk=Егін Жинау
name:prefix=бағбандық қоғамы
name:prefix:kk=бағбандық қоғамы
name:prefix:ru=садовое общество
name:ru=Урожай

during your recent edits? You are certainly aware that the addition of automatic transliterations or translations is unwanted; please explain your source(s) and your reasoning.

I have now reverted the edits in this changeset (unless objects had meanwhile been touched by other mappers). @Broken Butler, please be less broken and reply when others raise issues with your mapping! DWG Ticket#2025061710000599

Wiederhergestellt in 167690977, um der Community Gelegenheit zu geben, die Edits genauer zu untersuchen.

Hallo "anonymer Nutzer1", ich habe diese Bearbeitung revertiert, weil Du Löcher in Wanderwegrelationen gerissen hast. Um ehrlich zu sein, ist es auch wenig vertrauenswürdig, wenn sich jemand neu anmeldet, "anonymer Nutzer1" nennt, und als erste Aktion bei OSM gleich Dutzende von Wegen löscht. Ich habe hier https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/wegeloschungen-nsg-hohenstein/131441 eine Diskussion dzau eröffnet, an der Du Dich zu beteiligen herzlich eingeladen bist.

167658416

Thank you for the clarification! You can make it easier for others if you give a hint about things like this in the changeset comment ("mobile home park shut down c. 2010" or so) in the future. Happy mapping!

Dear Yougs68, the "changeset comment" is an important part of quality control in OSM. When someone deletes a lot of things, like you did here, we look at the changeset comment for a justification - why were these things deleted, did they not exist in the first place or were they wrong or have they been removed etc. - instead the reason you provided was "atk" which doesn't tell us anything. Please explain!

167658416

You have deleted a good 50 buildings in this changeset, with a somewhat non-informative changeset of "updates and corrections". Can you explain these deletions - were the buildings bogus, have they been destroyed, or what?

167350702

It is correct that it would be great if the software were better. It currently isn't and we have to work with what we have.

After my suggestion to remove your confrontative "I am not reading comments...." from your profile, you have instead chosen to add a paragraph that explains how your time is scarce and that you don't want to be lectured about your contributions.

Now, everyone else's time is scarce too, and by creating unnecessarily large bounding boxes your edits are showing up in the "latest changes" views of many more people than necessary. You are perhaps saving a little time for you, but you are wasting a little time for many others. Please consider that going forward.

Also, quality control is not about "being right" or "lecturing others", it is about our common goal to make a good map (database). It is in everyone's interest to point out mistakes so that they can be avoided in the future.

Hallo ya04, osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments beschreibt den Nutzen von Änderungssatzkommentaren in OSM. Bitte versuche doch, in Zukunft statt "Anpassung" zu schreiben, was Du warum angepasst hast.

Dear user GPMapper, thank you for using proper changeset comments. However, Wikipedia publishes its content under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license which is not compatible with OSM's ODbL license. Please do not copy data from Wikipedia.

If the Wikidata ID describes the trail as a whole then it should only be tagged on the relation that describes the whole trail. You have added the whole-trail wikidata ID to every individual section now which is wrong - only give wikidata tags to the individual sections if there is a wikidata item for that particular section.
