I apologize if I am coming across as rude. I am just upset about all the changes I made being removed.

I will delete all of the linked images after you review them, because I am not comfortable with those images being public.

Perhaps we can take this discussion to our direct messages in the future to avoid sharing my personal information.

Unfortunately, your announcement is full of misleading information which I have corrected on multiple occasions. This is frustrating, but I will do so again.

I have been performing mapping in different parts of Peru many kilometers apart because I have recently returned from a humanitarian trip to Peru where I traveled all over the country. I have only added map data to places I have visited.

Bing Maps imagery in Peru is often outdated, so some buildings do not appear in Bing Maps because they are new. This is the case in both changesets you referenced. In the latter (#138963160), I even added a note to the building, explaining that the bathrooms were recently constructed, but it appears you did not read the note before deleting the building.

The data you claim is from Google Maps is publicly available business information, not copyrighted satellite data. Google does not own business websites or phone numbers. In most cases, I have the business information because I did business there myself, and I did not need a search engine. The changes comply with OSM standards. If you disagree, I can remove the websites and phone numbers instead of reverting the entire changeset.

Please stop using my past mistakes against me. I have used Google Maps satellite data in the past, but I no longer do. I have not used Google Maps satellite data for my changes in Peru. It's frustrating that I have to repeat this. Accusing me of using Google Maps satellite data in Peru is simply wrong. Please stop. Judge my current changes on their own merit, not mistakes I made years ago.

I am not on the ground any longer because I have returned home. Does that mean I am not allowed to add the local knowledge I gained to OSM anymore? I simply want to add missing locations I learned about in Peru, but you are making it very difficult.

Thank you for the invitation, but I do not plan on joining the Telegram community because I do not live in Peru and won't be adding any more changes in the future. I am a temporary contributor to OSM Peru.

Do you require all mappers to show you photo evidence of their changes? Can you prove that your reversions are correct with photos?

Because you refuse to accept anything I say, here are some of my private images to prove I am telling the truth. Please remember that I do not want these images published anywhere else on the internet, and I have blurred the faces of my friends for privacy.

Is this enough evidence to prove I was actually there? Do I have to provide a picture for each change I make in the future?

Please restore all of my changes you deleted. I don't want to waste all of my work.

Please stop reverting my valid changes. They are all verifiable. If you travel to these locations, you will find my changes are correct. This meets the OSM standard for verifiability. See the first sentence: osm.wiki/Verifiability

Continuing to specifically target me and my changes could be considered retaliatory harassment. Only revert changes you know to be incorrect, and only after discussing the specific issue with those changes. Thank you.

Please stop falsely accusing me of using Google Maps here.

I should not need to send my private trip photos to strangers on the internet to use them for mapping.

You originally reverted my changes because you believed I was not in Peru, but that was a mistake, and now you refuse to correct it. This is frustrating for me. Please return my changes. It would take a long time to add them again. Thank you.

I am not familiar with Mapillary, and I do not wish to publish private images that include me and my service group. I have also returned home now, so I cannot take more pictures. I did not know publishing my images is a requirement to use them for OSM mapping. Are they not a valid source?

I think translation is causing a misunderstanding. As I mentioned previously, I have visited these places in-person and have many images for reference. All micromapping comes from this local knowledge, not from Google Maps. That is also how I know the current company.

In the past I used Google Maps satellite data, but I no longer do so. My previous mistakes do not make these current changes incorrect.

You originally reverted my changes because you believed I was not on the ground, but we have resolved that misunderstanding. I have explained to you that the location data is not from Google Maps. Unless you are familiar with the area and believe my changes are wrong, please restore them. Thank you.

Let me clarify. Google Maps was not used for map data, but for business information like website or phone number, which are owned by the business and not under copyright. These changes comply with OSM standards. Please return the changes.

Please return these changes.

Please return these changes.

Please return these changes.

Please return these changes.

To answer all of your comments:
- I am using a combination of Bing maps, Google maps, and local knowledge.
- I recently took a trip throughout Peru. I have many images to use for reference. I was present in all of these locations.
- Please do not revert my changes.

I considered renaming it, but I wasn't sure if there was trail signage or anything that needed to be changed first. I'll let someone else make that decision.
