1. the restriction was a login(zero minute) block to grab users attention after multiple attempts trying to contact: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/YueYuan/history#map=18/45.35567/-75.75291 so once they login and view the message they can edit again
2. They have not been editing just around Carleton Campus, there have been students editing out on baseline and other areas of Ottawa 3. I've been trying to fix them, but at 1000+ changesets this is going to be a monumental task. I'm not trying to stop your students from contributing, but when they simply ignore advice we try to give them to correct said actions(kept contributing after multiple changeset comments: they get an email per changeset comment) we need a higher power(admins) to step in so we can discuss like human beings.

There was also an unfortunate email sent to Carleton University by one of your members that is circulating through the administration from ( james2...@gmail.com). The data are being contributed as part of an assignment described here - https://github.com/TraceyLauriault/COMS2200A I understand that the students are making some small and some large mistakes that may not meet your OSM data quality standards. The students are restricted to only be mapping the Carleton University Campus. I wonder if it might be possible to unlock the restriction to let them finish the assignment. They should be done by next week. There are 150 students. Once the assignment is complete I would gladly work with you to salvage the data, delete some data, repair some data or wipe all of the data. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope that you can be empathetic and allow for the assignment to be completed so that the students can be assessed. Also, perhaps there are a number of common errors and if you identify them we may be able to fix them. Sincerely Tracey -- *Tracey P.
