Tracing from Google's imagery not only violates their terms of usage, 
 their spokespeople say that it's explicitly not allowed.  There's 
 nothing to prevent them from planting 'Easter eggs' in their imagery to 
 catch violators.

This caught me out recently when I was comparing the differences between
google and OSM nearby.  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.

Which, by the way, I denied.  Tracing aerials does not involve copying data.

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.

Maybe it does and maybe it doesn't. 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

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.

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.  And you don't trust me.
So this deletion spree is based on absolutely nothing.

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

 Sounds to me like you're either admitting that you have traced from 
 Google or you know people who have. In either case that traced work 
 needs to be deleted, and serial tracers need blocking like Anthony.
 The distances are not any kind of excuse.
 
 If you are implying that most people trace from Google, then I am 
 convinced you are wrong.
 
 Of course you could be less of an argumentative pain-in-the-arse and 
 either put up or shut up.
 

I have made public, further back in the lists, the 'name' of the person
who did this. 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.

they might not be incompatible as far as you are concerned.

But they are incompatible as far as the OSM community is concerned.  That is 
a fact. OSM has repeatedly said it does not want contents that are derived

I'm not sure where you're getting that fact from.  Nor do I see the

After admitting to tracing from Google imagery, you refused to tell

You wish that, after reading you admitting to tracing from Google

It is obvious that Anthony is unwilling to accept a nearly universally

nuking of all his contributions was a little drastic. 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.

And yes, if as much of the community agreed that 1+1=3 as agrees that
tracing from google is not desirable, then I would tag lanes=3 on 2

Damn, I assumed that it was either the 'evil twin' or 'amnesia' plot line.

 By now this is all at risk of getting a little like a soap opera, and
 like with soaps, there is a risk that people coming in at the middle
 of a storyline will fail to grasp the nuances of the situation. So for
 their benefit...
 
 PREVIOUSLY ON DYNASTY:
 
 * Anthony brags about tracing from Google (did he mean imagery or
 maps? Oooh! Cliffhanger)
 * Many within the project appalled - Anthony, how could you,
 everybody knows it's not allowed
 * The Man demands to know what objects are tainted. Anthony insists none are.
 * The Man deletes all of Anthony's contribution and banishes him to
 the wilderness. Surely only waking up and realising it's a bad dream
 will save him now.
 * Various mappers chastise Anthony for having brought this misfortune
 not only down on his own head, but on those of others. Demand to know
 why he didn't just answer The Man's question.
 * Anthony insists that yes, he did trace from Google and that no, none
 of his contributions represent prohibited content in OSM.
 * Anthony goes on to have in his possession simultaneously tea and
 no tea, thereby solving one of the stickier puzzle in the
 Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure game[1]. Go Anthony!
 
 Stay tuned to today's rivetting episode of Dynasty!

 inside your own brain, find and remove your common sense, which would
 otherwise block any attempt at justifying such an obvious paradox
