Hi harcher,
this and your previous changesets seem to be an import. When was this import discussed on the international Imports mailing list? Where is this import documented at the OSM wiki?
Imports must comply with the Import Guidelines (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines). If you do not respond to this question, I will assume that this import violates the guideline.
Best regards

Good morning,
Although it's large amount of data, it's not an import in the sense referred to in the Wiki. We had a team of enumerators drawing houses in QGIS using DigitalGlobe images, and are uploading that information in batches. It was preferably logistically to do in QGIS for data cleaning and aggreagation, but batches are also cleaned against existing OSM data before uploading to prevent duplication and overlap (i.e., areas with previously drawn structures). These uploads were done in partnership with OSM, who we are working with on this project.Please let me know if this answers your questions, and if I can provide more information. This response also applies to users Annie Martin (anniecmar), Frazer Bwalya (fbwalya), Aimee Edmondo (aedmondo), and Zaccy Chitoshi (zchotoshi), or anyone tagging #akros/Akros.
Thank you,

Hi Helena,
thank you for your response. Could you please provide the license agreement between Digital Globe and you which explicitly allows you to upload traced features to OpenStreetMap?
If you edit OSM, you must not user sources we are not explicitly allowed to use.
Best regards

Good morning Michael,
I can look into this, but the DigitalGlobe Standard images available via JOSM are already match the features we have drawn? That is, we could have created the same shapefile in OSM as it's the same source.
Warmly,

@harcher "batches are also cleaned against existing OSM data before uploading to prevent duplication and overlap (i.e., areas with previously drawn structures). "
This hasn't happened in a number of places, such as https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/53283139 . I commented there 7 days ago; there was no response from the mapper. Some of these edits are of such poor quality that we'll likely have to revert the changes. -

Hi Helena,
the features you uploaded today do not match any of the imagery we are allowed to use (example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/539035317). In addition, nobody from your team proved that you have the permission to use imagery from "DigitalGlobe EV Webhosting". The lack of an explicit permission means that you are not allowed to use this source and that all edits of you and your team have to be reverted.
Please refrain from further edits.
Best regards

Good evening,
If you could provide me an email address or other means to upload files, I would be happy to share with you a screenshot that shows where the shapefiles align with DigitalGlobe Premium Images available in JOSM for Siavonga. Additional structures may be drawn in, but this is likely due to more recent imagery than that available in JOSM, and thus more accurate and useful for on the ground work. I will also point out that the houses drawn will be visited and corrected by field staff recording spray coverage, and "ground survey" is recommended by OSM to supplement aerial images (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_Imagery#Matching_imagery_using_different_editors). I can also share the licensing agreement in the same way. As far as revisiting other areas, we are making a sizable contribution to mostly unmapped places in Zambia, and as with most work we do have deadlines; we would appreciate any assistance from OSM's side to ensure that clean, recent data is available. We are discussing best practice with our partner for OSM for areas of overlap, including those changesets that are still problematic.
Thank you.

Hi Helena,
you can either upload the agreement to the OSM wiki or send it to ahfogoo2xugohj4iy2li@michreichert.de (the email address is a temporary alias and will be deleted in a few weeks for spam protection).
