Dear Krako73,

you are applying tag “corrections” world-wide.

There have been several comments on your actions which are not always welcome by other members of the community, see

https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=18305684

Many of these comments have not received a reply from you, and you have continued with your “corrections” even after they were questioned.

Your activities have also been discussed on the OSM forum, here

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/rock-glaciers-retagged-as-moraines/101589

and here

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/various-landslide-tags-replaced-with-hazard-landslide/101466

and here

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/lava-field-versus-lava-flow/101382

Some of your “corrections” are clearly wrong and have deleted information from OSM.

Please stop your unilateral “corrections” now.

You are still allowed to:

• add data to OSM that you survey or trace from aerial imagery;

• modify the geometry of data, based on survey or aerial imagery, where it is inaccurate or wrong;

• manually change tags that are clearly wrong, like a mis-typed value or a waterway=stream where something is a highway=track. The barrier for “clearly wrong” is: If you were to ask five random mappers, and they all say “yes, of course that needs to be changed”, then something is clearly wrong.

You are not allowed to, without prior community discussion:

• replace tags with others that you think are a “better fit” or more frequently used (for the avoidance of doubt, this includes deleting an object and re-creating it with different tagging), like the replacements that are discussed in the above community forum discussions;

• make any kind of search-and-replace edit.

Of course this also applies to any other accounts besides “Krako73” that you might operate.

Please review the changeset comments linked above and reply to them where a reply is in order.

If you do wish to make changes like retagging rock glaciers as moraines and so on, please present your idea on the community forum first: “There are X objects with these tags, I propose to replace the tagging with these other tags which I think is a better fit because Z, what do you think?” and then when people agree that it is a good idea, you can go ahead.

This message blocks your account until you have read it; you can continue mapping afterwards. But I will block your account for longer if you violate the rules that I have set above.

Thank you
