@Avasquez369 Re "Do you think I would sit here and explain my actions if I intentionally vandalized OSM?" - reading from the bottom of the list at http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=16066706 upwards, you have been asked politely not to add things that don't exist in the real world to OSM, then slightly less politely, then been accused of vandalism. I have summarised that at osm.org/user_blocks/6057 . We'd love you to continue adding things to OpenStreetMap, but please - only add things that really exist in the real world, not fantasy parks around "Bobby Fischer's childhood home" or a parking charge in a fantasy curency on node/243955837/history .
As you've seen, your fantasy additions so far have been removed from OpenStreetMap (and I've asked questions about a couple of others)

@Avasquez369 As MxxCon correctly says above, "There's an apartment building there. But that building's name is NOT Bobby Fischer's Childhood Home". It is also not (as you tried to change it here) "NFT Chess Store". MxxCon was entirely correct to remove those names. See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only for more details.

Hello Avasquez369,
You've added the name "The Brady Bunch" here. What evidence do you have that this actually is the name of this house? If something was in a TV series a long time ago, it does not mean that it has the name of that TV series. See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only for how names in OSM work.
Best Regards,
Andy

What's the source of the name here? I don't ever remember seeing "Aldborough Gate Interchange" signed anywhere,
It might exist in a filing cabinet at the DfT somewhere, but I don't think it exists in the real world, does it?

Hello,
Can you explain in a bit more detail what you mean by "fixing names in Tunisia"?
What was wrong before, and what was the source for the changes?
Best Regards,
Andy

The comment here should have been "Filling in gap in St_Finbarrs_Pilgrim_Route 10520479"

122201125

Actually two spurs - and I'm not 100% about the "proposed" parts (they are mixed in with the rest of relation/6601510 which isn't "proposed").

122125784

grr - cut and paste fail - that should be "... changeset/121393300 by @willkmis ..."

122125784

No, poor mapping after only 22 edits is _not_ vandalism.
Comments on changesets made by this user can be seen at http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=16066706 . Most are from you and aren't actually questions that need an answer. However, a couple, including changeset/121393300 by changeset/121393300 would certainly benefit from an answer by @Avasquez369 .

Hello MxxCon,

After I had made only 22 edits, nothing was blatantly anything. Please give people the time to learn and the time to make mistakes.
If there is a problem with a particular edit, please point it out politely and offer to help fixing it.

Best Regards,

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

Hello MxxCon,

Calling things vandalism when they are not helps absolutely no-one.
If there is a problem with a particular edit please point it out, but calling edits by mappers that you don't like "vandalism" without any other information is counterproductive.

There have been problematic edits by some editors adding things primarily for "Upland", but unfortunately your comments have made dealing with these considerably more complicated.

So why did you say "this is not a dead end"?

122045229

Also way/553367462 is now very offset from any imagery,

122045229

Your most recent edit was to way/938865427/history . A previous mapper said "Prospect: landslide has removed part of the road. There seems no intention to repair it. El Paso: there is a gate across the road". Can you explain how come the landslide is no longer there?
You also moved node/9728853959 some distance from the large building that it was outside.

Hello Gerd,
I'm not sure what happened here, but this edit somehow merged some building tags with the city - see https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/8027078 .
I've reverted it.
Best Regards,
Andy

121407974

Also https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/501321430 and other stretches of the same road I suspect.

121407974

Hello,
Do any of the other names need adding back to https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/501321428 ?
I reverted a number of name removals by a previous user, and wondered if any of the names such as name:ckb needed adding back.
Best Regards,
Andy (from the Data Working Group)

Hello,
Andy from OSM's Data Working Group here.
In this changeset you've removed lots of names from Erbil - see https://osm.mapki.com/history/node/599019138 .
We'll have to restore this (and any others you have removed).
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group

I also removed some sections of the A44 that seem to have been merged in in error. See also these notes and comments:

Hello,
way/991684344/history is a service=driveway, but looks to be on the route of the Wye Valley Walk. What access tags should be set here? Is it a public footpath or public bridleway?
Best Regards,
Andy
