We (OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group) will need to remove data that's been added from Google. This may take some time, but please do be aware that features that you have added from Google will disappear.

Hello,
Can you explain what "#hotosm-project-2286, #MissingMaps, Mwezeni, #Zimbabwe Added #roads and #settlements using Bing #googledub" means please? As you may be well aware we're not allowed to use Google as a source for OpenStreetMap (although specific post-disaster exceptions have sometimes been granted, such as in Haiti post-earthquake). As it's not clear what "#googledub" means in the changeset comment above can you please explain it?
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group.

Hallo,

Sie scheinen, Google Maps als Quelle für diese Änderung zu verwenden. Wir sind nicht berechtigt, von Google Maps zu kopieren (siehe osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_maps_from.3F für Details), also bitte tun Sie dies nicht.

Wir (OpenStreetMap Data Working Group) müssen Daten entfernen, die von Google hinzugefügt wurden. Dies kann einige Zeit dauern, aber bitte beachten Sie, dass Funktionen, die Sie von Google hinzugefügt haben, verschwinden.

Wenn Sie irgendwelche Fragen haben, mailen Sie bitte die Daten-Arbeitsgruppe auf data@osmfoundation.org.

Freundliche Grüße,

Hello,

You appear to have used "google.cn" imagery in iD in this changeset. We are not allowed to copy from Google Maps (see osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F for details).
We (OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group) will look at these changes and will need to remove data that's been added from Google. This may take some time, but please do be aware that features that you have added from Google will disappear.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

This project is about mapping the world as it actually exists - we're very grateful for all of the Pokemon players who've added unmapped footpaths parks and water features in the last few days, especially in places in the world where there aren't many "on the ground" OpenStreetMap editors.

Some people, however, have been making questionable edits, and your changes such as way/461653937 seem to fall into that category. If you want your edits to stay in OpenStreetMap, please only map things that actually exist. Many parts of the USA have lots of unmapped features like this so there really are a lot of real things.

If you continue to add obviously fake things to OpenStreetMap you'll be prevented from editing it in the future.

I'd also suggest changing your user name from "paigesmells234" to something a bit more sensible.

Best Regards,

Andy Townsend, on behalf of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group

Hello Felyme,

In this and some previous changesets you appear to be using "google.cn" imagery to trace from. We are not allowed to copy from Google Maps (see osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F for details)
We (OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group) will go through your changes and will need to remove data that's been added from Google. This may take some time, but please do be aware that features that you have added from Google will disappear.

If you have any questions please email the Data Working Group on data@osmfoundation.org .

Best Regards,

Hi fayor,
Looking at the changes here, it looks like signage for "aut.CT-SC" definitely appears. Do you have evidence that signage for A01 appears anywhere? Wikipedia (though not directly usable as a source) claims it has no number: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostrada_Catania-Siracusa .
A summary of changes so far for info:
http://osm.mapki.com/history/relation.php?id=6192714
If A01 only appears in official documentation then the values as of osm.org/browse/changeset/44327582 would seem correct to me.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

@yurasi - I'd be tempted to restore this; it looks like it still exists.

The usual stuff to try now would be to try and find a local mapper forum, or even just a local mapper, and consider an Arabic translation of any message. If that fails, I'd just revert it - on the balance of probability they're just personal markers.
Cheers,
Andy

Hello,
You've added what looks like supermarket opening hours to a bus stop node/565762137/history here. Did you really mean to do that, or did you perhaps mean to update the nearby supermarket way/58758439 ?
Hope you don't mind me checking - just trying to help. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Best Regards,
Andy

I'd be tempted to do a revert then - it seems unlikely to me that node/4381518393 is an ATM.
Presumably you're OK with doing a revert here? If not, let me know and I'll do it.

Hi,
I think that something has gone a bit wrong with way/404895135/history and way/461376052/history - they have a name and a "source" tag, but nothing else.
What actually are they?
Hope you don't mind me mentioning this - just trying to help. Any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Andy

Hello,
You've changed the shop type here from "furniture" to "Showroom". If you can buy furniture there then I'd suggest "furniture" is the better tag, since nothing will recognise the "Showroom" tag. Presumably it's your shop and you want people to be able to find it :)

This changeset has been reverted fully or in part by changeset/44626504 where the changeset comment is: Reverting some numbered tourist attractions. See osm.org/user_blocks/1125

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Just to let you know, we are not allowed to copy from Google Maps (see osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F for details). I thought that it's best to let you know to prevent any future issues.
I've also removed a section of duplicate road at the roundabout
Any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Bonjour et bienvenue sur OpenStreetMap!
Pour vous informer, nous ne sommes pas autorisés à copier depuis Google Maps (voir osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F pour plus de détails). J'ai pensé qu'il était préférable de vous prévenir pour éviter tout problème futur.
J'ai également enlevé une section de route double au rond-point
Si vous avez d'autres questions, n'hésitez pas à le demander.
Meilleures salutations,
Andy Townsend, au nom du Groupe de travail sur les données d'OpenStreetMap.

Здравейте и добре дошли на OpenStreetMap!
Само да ти кажа, не ни е позволено да се копира от Google Maps (виж osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F за подробности). Виждам, че коментара changeset тук е частично View URL на Google Street, но може също така да кажа, че не сте копирате магазина мебели от Google, защото той все още не е на Google.
Въпреки това, аз мислех, че е най-добре да ти кажа, за да предотврати евентуални бъдещи проблеми.
Всякакви други въпроси, моля не се колебайте да питате.
С Най-Добри Пожелания,
Анди Townsend, от името на работната група Data OpenStreetMap му.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Just to let you know, we are not allowed to copy from Google Maps (see osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F for details). I can see that the changeset comment here is partly a Google Street View URL, but I can also tell that you didn't copy the furniture shop from Google because it's not on Google yet.
However, I thought that it's best to let you know to prevent any future issues.
Any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group.

Thanks DenisJu.
We'll have to remove contributions based on Google, since the licence isn't compatible with OSM. What's the licence associated with http://geoportal.asig.gov.al/ ?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
In the "source" on this changeset you've said "bing;survey;gps;asig;google". Can you explain what use you've made of Google here? See osm.wiki/FAQ#What_images_and_maps_may_I_use_to_make_maps_from.3F for details for more details about this.
Please do reply, either here, or by email to data@osmfoundation.org .
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group.
