Hello mCloud00

Thank you for your contributions to the OpenStreetMap project. You have added a lot of data in Thailand! However some of your fellow users have been having trouble communicating with you when you have caused some problems by accident. OpenStreetMap is not just a map, but it is a community of users. Members of the community need to be able to communicate with each other freely in order to coordinate, socialize and correct each other when needed.

A complaint about some of your edits and your lack of response to messages sent to you has been brought to the attention of the Data Working Group. With this message I am temporarily blocking you from editing the map - just until you have read this message. it is only intended to get your attention and not to discourage you from contributing to the project. Please take some time to review your received private messages and changeset comments and respond as appropriate to engage with your fellow mappers. you can see which of your changesets have comments on them here. Whenever you get a private message or changeset comment an email should be sent to the address that you used to register your account. Please make sure that your email address is correct and that you are receiving these notifications.

Lastly, I will note that the most valuable edits to OpenStreetMap are from people who add things that they can verify with their own two eyes around them. The roads around your home or work. The businesses you frequent. The places you like to go for leisure or exercise. Mapping things from aerial imagery when yo do not have first hand knowledge of the area can be useful but can also be a source of a lot of errors if you are not experienced with interpreting imagery.

Thank you again for your contributions and I hope you can engage and learn from the more experienced mappers who are trying to contact you.
