Hi Pooja, thank you for your contribution to OSM. I'm part of the [data team at Mapbox](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapbox#Mapbox_Data_Team) and my teammate from Bhopal noticed that there were many incorrect roads and road names added by you. On closer inspection he found that these roads and names appear in Google Maps at exactly the same location.
You can see the comparison of your incorrect edits here:
https://gist.github.com/pratikyadav/b2a35da58a43680c9a8dIt might be a coincidence, but we're worried that you may be tracing from Google Maps which is copyright and [cannot be used to add data to OSM](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#2a._Can_I_trace_data_from_Google_Maps.2FNokia_Maps.2F....3F).
It would be great if you can explain what exactly happened so that we can clean this up and make sure there is no copyright data in OSM which could jeopardize the project. Do let me know if you need any assistance since it looks like you are still new to OpenStreetMap and we would love to see more contributions from you.
