[Talk-br] Removal of data from Eduardo Francis Batista

[Paul Norman]

Awhile back the DWG had complaints of Eduardo Francis Batista using Google
Earth aerial imagery to generate OSM data. We were hoping that someone would
be able to identify data of his which could be kept, but no one has come
forward with a list of what contributions of his aren't Google-derived so
unfortunately it looks like the best option is to remove (redact) all of his
contributions. This will take each object, sort out what he contributed and
what others contributed, and remove what he did.

I plan to do this in the next week unless someone can come up with an
alternate plan.

Dear Paul

thank you very much for taking care of this. There was some discussion in
Talk-BR on how to revert these old contributions without breaking too many
things, but I am afraid we arrived at no better solution than the one you
are suggesting.

Unfortunately, I can not offer to help on this, I have absolutely no idea
how to perform a redaction.

Sadly, we are stumbling almost on a daily basis on data that might have
been copied from Google in one way or another. One user told me he did not
knew this was not allowed. Curiously, this user had collected the data on
his own, being a local resident, but he decided to use the same exact
wording for a highway as used by Google thinking that he was sticking to
some sort of standard. I told him no to, but clearly there seems to be a
major communication problem here. Any ideas on how we could prevent this to
happen *before* people enter the data into the map?

again, many thanks for your help and best wishes

Gerald

Is it possible to know the areas/contributors that will be affected by this?
