Hello annapolissailor,

On 19 January 2017 I emailed you this:

I’m writing about the building import you attempted in http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/41375854 It appears that the import had some problems (among them, lack of prior discussion and documentation) which another user pointed out to you; you then tried to make amends but somehow the import seems abandoned to me. Do you intend to continue your work on this, or would it perhaps be a better course of action to remove all the buildings that you have added to allow you (or someone else) to re-start the import following proper procedures?

You replied on 19 September, apologizing for the delay and writing:

Yeah I definitely misunderstood the import process. Was really eager to get buildings on the map and understood the concerns around licensing but didn’t realize there was a procedure for community buy-in. … I’ve had several follow-up convos and have a wiki page up and running. I have carefully saved all of my progress and am very happy to continue making sure this gets completed in > the best way possible.

Sadly it appears that you have not sought the requisite community buy-in, and the changesets you have been adding in the last couple of days are a chaotic mix of half-baked imports, fixes, and deletions. Please stop whatever you are doing there, and seek help on the imports mailing list, explaining your data sources, goals, and processes.

Thank you
