Hello R0bst3r,
You've been warned before about mechanical edits:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/30189913
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/30206050
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/30814083
This edit is clearly mechanical, since it is a test node that another user has added in the middle of the Sahara desert. Please ensure that any future edits from you follow http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct .
Failure to do this will mean that you may be blocked from editing OpenStreetMap in the future.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend (SomeoneElse) on behalf of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group. -

Hello Andy,
you see me confused. This edit is far away from mechanical edits.As the mentioned last 2 changesets show I'm always trying to constitute my changes on recherches in wiki or established mapping ot the (local) community. I accept that there are always different solutions in a community and accept other opinions.
I'm taking full responsible for my changesets and trying always to improve the objects I'm working on like you do. As you see this changesets were more than a year ago and more than several thousand edits are done in between.I found this objekt using http://osm.mueschelsoft.de/taginfo/newkeys.htm, a well accepted tool in german osm community to find typos in keys and to correct them.
I know you don't like worldwide edits but just because the object is in the middle of the Sahara desert it doesn't show mechanical edits and abusing all editors of this object is not going in the right direction in my opinion. That the node is a test node was not viewable in tagging nor in changeset comments nor in discussions at the time i was editing it.
Furthermore the Automated Edits code of conduct does allow small "Corrections obvious typos, for example changing "hihgway=residential" to "highway=residential"". So to which point do you refer to?
Best Regards, Robert

Hi Robert,
Please stop thinking about things in OSM just as collections of XML data and instead starting thinking about them as representations of real-world objects. In this case someone used a python wrapper for the OS API (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/osmapi) to add an "ATM" in the middle of the Sahara desert at a suspiciously exact 10 degrees of longitude.
You have to ask yourself which is more likely - that (a) someone was exploring the Sahara Desert, and discovered an unexpected Central Bank of India bank machine, and then rather than using a regular OSM editor ran home to write something in Python to add it to OSM, or (b) they're adding test data in a place where they hope that someone won't notice?
If you fail to ask yourself this question then any edit that you make is by its very nature mechanical.
Cheers,
Andy
