Hello Personperson40,

please stop adding fictional data 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 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/481139845 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.

Best Regards,
Frederik Ramm aka woodpeck
