Hello Farhana Akter Rimu,

You’ve recently added some data to OpenStreetMap with some tags that don’t really make a lot of sense.

OpenStreetMap is a shared database and you can’t just use it as a dumping ground for ad-hoc data that you have collected, such as on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/591227439 . However I’m sure that there are ways to record the data that you have so that it’ll be useful to everyone. OpenStreetMap has a series of keys for this, and you can see what keys are used for certain things by searching https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/ and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page . You can also ask questions at https://help.openstreetmap.org/ .

We’ll need to remove the “ad hoc” values that you’ve added but please do continuing to edit Openstreetmap - you’ll be able to do that as soon as you have read this message. You can also contact the Data Working Group by email on data@osmfoundation.org .

Best Regards,

Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM’s Data Working Group.
