Dear user Darwin721,

thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap.

Some of them had to be removed because they were fictional and we cannot have made-up data in OpenStreetMap. This has been explained to you in changeset comments to which you replied by explaining that you’re mapping residential neighbourhoods as parks “Because OSM Influences Nests and Blocked Spawns”, and you further told other contributors to “Stop messing with my hometown, and I’ll stop editing areas in PA.” or to “lay off my neighborhood.” (http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=6310073&commented). A number of constructive comments regarding the quality of sidewalks that you have added seem to have been completely ignored by you, and you continue adding sidewalks that are unconnected to anything else.

While we do value local knowledge a lot in OpenStreetMap, this doesn’t give you a right to mischaracterise things on OpenStreetMap in order to achieve a better score at Pokemon Go. Please stick to the facts, and don’t threaten other mappers who remind you of that requirements.

Also, you are using the changeset comment “Updated area landuse classification” for all your changes even if you’re e.g. drawing a house; this isn’t helpful. Please try to follow the recommendations on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_changeset_comments for your future edits.

Thank you
Frederik Ramm
