Subject regarding your edits in Bacolod City, Philippines
Date 13 May 2010 at 11:23

MTBBCD,

Hi! My name is Maning Sambale another Philippine openstreetmapper.

This is my OSM user wikipage: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Maning

I've seen your edits in Bacolod and around Negros Island and they are really great. I am happy
to see that Openstreetmap Philippine data is expanding to the Negros
Island. However, I noticed that some contributions around Bacolod City
have a striking similarity to GoogleMaps' data.

See this and use the slider on the top-right:

A few months ago, there was a contributor who added a lot of data in Bacolod which the author himself admitted to be from a source not compatible with OSM's license.

See this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/talk-ph@openstreetmap.org/msg01793.html

We had to remove these edits in accordance to OSM's policy:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FAQ#I_think_someone.27s_been_entering_copyrighted_data_-_how_do_we_deal_with_that.3F

I also explained this particular event in one of the bacolod mapper's diary:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/MTBBCD/diary/10177

Apologies if this may seem "too accusing" but please explain the sources of your contributions.
As far as I know, there are no high-res images available for tracing
data into OSM at the moment. Moreover, GPS tracks are too few around
that area.

Thanks!
maning

Avelinosk - inierase niya ang aking edit? ano ba ang gagawin ko para hindi niya erasin ang edit ko? mali ba ag edit ko? kun mali paki explika lang po para walang problema bago erasin. ok lang mag erase basta claro ang mali. diba? Baka gusto mo na ang map natin maging katulad sa google e dinaman tama yan diba? kung may problema ka sa edit ko magtanon ka muna bago ka mag delete diba? para masaya tayo lahat...http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrunk
