Hi and thank you for the contributions.
There are issues with the edits, and those have not been addressed for a long time, despite the community attempts to communicate in the changeset comments. Unfortunately I have to block this account for now, until those issues are addressed.
We are very happy about all contributions to OSM and would love to help you fix these issues - please contact me in OSM messages or by sending an email to rihards at nakts dot net.
Below I’ll list a few obvious problems - this is not an exhaustive list.
a) Neither of the involved accounts (https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Asumarin and https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/llc_datadelivery) has information on this being organised/automated map editing, no links to wikipages[1].
b) The imports / mass edits are not documented[1].
c) The imports / mass edits are either not discussed in local communities, or are implemented ignoring community feedback[2].
d) Changeset comments and objections are ignored[3][4].
e) Imported data is of bad quality, actually damaging the map[5].
f) The same map data is sometimes damaged 3(!) times in a row[6].
g) Data sources are unclear, with suspect references[7].
Example of bad data (as well as ignoring changeset comments and re-applying damage):
Changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/88550752 (user Asumarin) mentions “local knowledge” and damages pharmacy data in Latvia (changing pharmacies into veterinaries).
This is mostly fixed manually by OSM contributors.
Changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/88550752 (user Asumarin) again mentions “local knowledge” and re-applies the damage.
This changeset is reverted.
Changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/93477040 (user llc_datadelivery) re-applies the same damage to one node yet again.
