Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Re: collateral damage
In real life a suspect is condemned after trial and proof, in OSM(F) you only need to confess , or at least state something ambiguous that sounds like contradictory to the basics of OSM.

I noticed a few small towns nearby that were much bigger on google than on OSM, so I started looking for bing imagery for the area, which was very poor (cant even pick the highway into the town). I then decided to compare google satellite to google map data, and noticed more than half the roads in google data simply didnt exist, and quite a lot that did exist were the wrong shape/length or had incorrect junctions.

But his continued anti-community behavior has convinced me that it was indeed the correct course of action. There is no room for such selfishness in a community based project.

I'll save you the trouble of searching the archives. It was 'staehler'. I found his work in Australia, which was copied, and wrong. I asked him, he admitted it and agreed to remove it. Months later I found more of his work elsewhere in Australia, again flagrantly wrong, because I was doing survey work on the ground. He then tried to lay the blame on others for not having reverted his work for him (Frederick Ramm, actually). Australian mappers - mostly Rosscoe, carefully unpicked his Australian "work". When I have looked through staehler changesets I see that he has "mapped" in many continents. So for procedural fairness, all of his work should go. His name is public on these lists, with my name pointing him out as copying, and copying from Google, as that was the only place with those wrong street names. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Let's get this completely fair, and remove all the work of others who have been caught tracing from Google, admitted it when challenged, and only the work which was challenged has been removed. Work which may also be traced from Google because it also was a long way from the person's home, and not been specifically challenged, is still there in the OSM database. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Everything was fine just a few days ago, before the LWG started deleting stuff. I note that the only evidence whatsoever that I ever traced anything from Google, is the fact that I said I had.

Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Re: collateral damage (was: What the license change is going to do to the map)
Regardless of what you believe, Google have said that they don't want their imagery traced into OSM and OSM have said that they don't want Google derived data in the database. You polluted the database with data nobody wants and now have been trolling the mailing lists ever since. That doesn't make you a victim of some OSMF conspiracy and it certainly doesn't help the otherwise complicated enough discussion of the license change.

Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Re: collateral damage (was: What the licensechange is going to do to the map)
The position of objects is certainly part of the data belonging to those objects, and tracing of aerial objects is done in order to determine their position. So, you are copying the positional data from the serial images. ---Original Email--- Subject :Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Re: collateral damage (was: What the licensechange is going to do to the map) >From :mailto:o...@inbox.org Date :Thu Feb 10 08:24:31 America/Chicago 2011 On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 9:15 AM, Dermot McNally wrote: > On 10 February 2011 14:01, Anthony wrote: > >> Which, by the way, I denied.

Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Re: collateral damage (was: What the licensechange is going to do to the map)
OK then. It sounds like we need a more sophisticated undo script that can query the database and find out the full list of actions that the user had done during a certain time-frame, so as to make sure to undo all of them. ---Original Email--- Subject :Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Re: collateral damage (was: What the licensechange is going to do to the map) >From :mailto:openstreet...@firefishy.com Date :Thu Feb 10 08:12:20 America/Chicago 2011 On 10 February 2011 13:52, Maarten Deen wrote: > So, his edits were deleted by the OSM board?

Since I began mapping on OSM (which was a while ago) the considered opinion of the project was "Don't trace Google imagery. We're not sure it's legal, they're convinced it isn't and it's certainly a breach of their terms of use. So don't do it. Seriously. Bad things will happen, and it will be your fault" You failed to heed this. Bad things happened. It's _your_ stupid fault.

I said on a mailing list that I traced from Google. The LWG asked me which of my edits should be deleted. I told them none of them should be deleted. So naturally they deleted all of them. > And if not only his edits were deleted, but all nodes and ways he touched > were deleted, why? Why not his edits reverted to the previous state? I explained this part above. In some cases I deleted ways in order to add new ones. I did this quite a bit when turning TIGER roads into dual carriageways, for instance. So, since my edit was the first edit for that way, there was nothing to revert to.
