Dear Reserve-Naturelle-Aiguilles-Rouges,

you have recently deleted a couple of trails from OpenStreetMap, writing that they were dangerous, inaccessible, or illegal.

There are a couple of problem with these contributions.

Firstly, you are contributing under the name “Reserve-Naturelle-Aiguilles-Rouges” which suggests that you are acting in an official capacity. If this is the case, please follow https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines and identify yourself via your user profile.

Secondly, we have ways to model access restrictions in OpenStreetMap. We do delete things that do not exist on the ground, but if something does exist (but is dangerous, or illegal to use) then we map it and we record why it cannot be used. This page explains more on the topic: osm.wiki/Why_can%27t_I_delete_this_trail%3F

Please get in touch with the French OSM community via https://forum.openstreetmap.fr/ - they will help you perform the necessary modifications without damaging OSM.

I have reverted your edits for now.

Best regards
Frederik Ramm
