Dear GeoSylvaris,

any data import into OSM must follow OSM’s import procedure (osm.wiki/Import) which includes a requirement for a prior discussion with the community and documentation on the wiki. It appears that your recent edits do not fulfil these criteria; indeed you seem to be uploading raw GPX traces for which the OSM database is not the right place! We have a GPX upload facility but what you’re doing is different, you’re uploading nodes directly into the map database without even giving them the meta data that would make the nodes into something useful.

Please stop.

I’ll revert your imports now but don’t add any more of that.

Best regards
Frederik Ramm
