Dear user MACEDONICUS,

a month ago in osm.org/user_blocks/16196 I asked you to change your way of contributing to OSM; I specifically asked you to provide good changeset comments, give sources for your edits, respond to changeset comments, and consult with the community BEFORE making wide-ranging edits to road classifications.

You have ignored my request. You are continuing to overwrite road classifications from other members of the community without explanation and to alter ‘ref=‘ tags with unverifiable prefixes throughout the country. You’re not responding when other community members ask questions about this.

What you are doing damages the map in North Macedonia and it cannot go on. I am now reverting all edits that you have made since my last block message, and I am blocking your account until you write to data@osmfoundation.org (1) explaining to us what your data source for the “ref” numbers and road classifications is, (1) affirming that you will stop making edits to road classifications without seeking a community consensus first, and (3) that you will engage in good faith with community members who have questions about your edits.

Best regards
Frederik Ramm
