Hello ti-lo,
It looks like you are performing a series of mechanical edits. There is a policy in place describing how these must be carried out:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy
The very first requirement stated there is “discuss”. You need to discuss your proposed changes with the rest of the OpenStreetMap community. If you have discussed these changes, can you please point to where? I don’t remember seeing anything on the main “talk” list (the place that the policy says that they should have been discussed). If you haven’t got the required community buy-in for your changes, please pause them immediately until you have.
(The fact that there is a wiki page with certain tagging recommendations is not a license to change things world-wide.)
Of course - it’s possible that there may be some misunderstanding here (i.e. you didn’t quite understand the scope of the changes that you were making), and if you have any questions at all please do get in contact with us via data@osmfoundation.org . However, if you continue to perform mechanical edits without discussion, cause data problems as mentioned above or not use meaningful changeset comments then you will be blocked from editing for a longer period of time.
Best regards
