Delaware to Baltimore-area Maryland to central New Jersey in under an hour, each changeset open only a few seconds, dozens of POIs touched per changeset. Nobody surveys like that on foot or by car with Every Door.

It’s not just the pace. Look at node 2678129078 (Subway, 10041 York Road, Cockeysville) in changeset 185028406: you changed opening_hours from “Mo-Fr 07:00-21:00; Sa 08:00-21:00; Su 09:00-19:00” to “Mo-Fr 07:00-21:00; Sa 09:00-21:00; Su 09:00-19:30”, added check_date=2026-07-03, and dropped addr:country entirely. That is not the kind of change you make from a moving car or a five-second visit.

Tell us where this data is coming from, and why addr:country is being stripped across your edits. Give sources for how you obtained per-minute opening hours changes at this pace.

Email data@openstreetmap.org with an explanation before you continue editing. You will remain blocked until you do.
