Bye bye, mapping

Posted by Arlas on 21 November 2019 in English.

Hi, It’s been some years now that me and other mappers are uncapable of editing in Sicily. Other users check every edit and revert it in a matter of minutes, with other big changesets that have misleading notes like “aggiornamento”, “survey”, “edit”.

Example situation: 1) I put a note online (I am afraid to map because of continue reverts) “on the ground”: that place changed name 2) user X “closes” the bug but doesn’t change that name 3) Osm mails me, I double check because i don’t trust that user anymore. 4) I change manually the name 5) I’ve a strange feeling that my small edit will be deleted soon.. …. then, less than 30 minutes later: reverted.

Ok, now that everything is like before, I’ll go back to another year without mapping or using OSM.

bye bye mapping
