Hello M-NCPPC_Import, and welcome to OpenStreetMap.

A number of mappers have suggested that there might be problems with the things that you are adding. This was mentioned on the forum here:

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/tagless-points-and-lines-in-greenbelt-md/97992/1

and you can see all comments on your changesets here:

http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=8373017

(these will have been emailed to you already, of course)

First things first - don’t use OSM’s live database for test imports. There is a dev server you can test with. See here:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sandbox_for_editing

I’ve sent this message as one that you have to read before continuing editing. I would strongly suggest that you reply in the community thread to acknowledge the issue and continue the discussion there.

There is clearly some data cleanup that needs doing here, but let’s get the conversation going about what the goal of this work is first. In addition, we’d expect any imports to be listed here:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue

and the process at

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines

would need to be followed.

I’ve sent this message as one that you need to read before continuing to edit. You’ll be able to continue as soon as you have read it, but please - do get in contact with the community first.

Best Regards,

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