Dear ^_^,

in your profile text you claim to be an “Authorized mapper in OpenStreetMaps”. Please explain whose authorization you are referring to.

Also, in messages to other mappers you have written that “your organization checks edits all over the world”. Given this clear statement about organized editing, please ensure that you an all other members of your organisation meet the “organized editing guidelines” outlined in https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines - in particular, please make sure that:

  • you discuss your methods of error detection and fixing with the community before you edit;
  • you clearly mark edits made by the members of your organisation and ensure that mappers can communicate with you;
  • you expediently reply to comments that mappers have on your edits.

In one communcation with another mapper, you wrote that “we don’t have time for communication during working hours”. This is not acceptable; your communication must go hand in hand with mapping. If you cannot comply with the organised editing guidelines then you must stop your contributions.

Thank you
