I've locked the following 2 pages for edits at the moment. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RU:Key:military http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RU:Tag:landuse%3Dmilitary ok. Now lets all cool off and re-analyse the problem. I checked http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RU:Tag:landuse%3Dmilitary and opened the first talk page of the user Vctos [[User_talk:Vctos]]. It's not about the edit war. I just asked Do you map for OpenStreetMap? If yes, what do you enjoy mapping? I'm looking forward to the user's reply. From the reply one can understand if the user is towards friendly or not-so friendly maybe. Who knows. Maybe not, but it doesn't hurt to communicate. The user didn't have a main page and neither a talk page, so I created the latter.

Re: [OSM-talk] Military objects in RU: warning about status of voting
Frederik, there are NO bots, it's just Upliner fantasy. But there were some people on the complaining side who were discussing creation of bots for osm wiki :) But they decided not to do it and to accuse others of doing that - talking is always easy, doing - hard. Please do not pay any attention to this stuff - small kids always prefer to complain to the grownups, than to try to solve problems.

If the russian community sets up a vote it is clear that it will be in Russian, and IMHO thats perfectly fine. On the other hand this vote is (like all votes in OSM) not binding but only demonstrating the majority's (of the voters) consensus. cheers, Martin ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

We have mappers in many countries, some of them do not speak English. I think that any voting should contain translations to all languages used in OSM (at least to those, that are use in osm-wiki Ideally YES, but at least if there is an English version of a proposal, it makes it a lot easier for other translations to be created as necessary. A 'free for all' on translations will just create a mess, but translating from a base of English at least means that any disagreement on the 'translation' is manageable.

[OSM-talk] Military objects in RU: warning about status of voting
Good day. You should know about flame war about military objects and government secrets in Russian OSM community. And you should know that any voting results may be considered as and only as recommendation, but not as invariable law. At 2010-04-13 user Zkir http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Zkir added voting results followed with warning about formal status of this voting to avoid misunderstanding: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=RU:%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82_%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%8F/%D0%93%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D1%85_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2diff=457650oldid=457393 (translation) This voting is only recommandation, it cannot give someone any rights to delete something. Deleteting of information that compatible with CC-BY-SA, verifiable and/or correspond to the facts is vandalism. E.g. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2010-April/049600.html; Since that user Vctos http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Vctos removed this warning 3 times with comment: I deleted text about applicability of voting results that added after RFC (translation). I expect that it will not stop his attempts, as he hasn't stopped it before now. I have no choice but need to ask help for support of somebody with more efficient tools than words of generic OSM participants. WBR, Alexandr R.

I recommend to ignore it. If you insist that the Wiki site must have a comment about the fact that it is non-binding, you are already taking the Wiki too seriously. Let them vote if they want; it is not going to change anything. The outcome may serve as a basis for discussion but nothing more.
