How is the address info there incorrect? Did you see the correct address of the building?

I have received the list from the Shell UK. Are you suggesting I should buy a ticket and verify each of these on the ground? Are there any better sources for Shell fuel stations, or are you implying the UK is a special restricted no-imports-whatsoever territory? > >> I have prepared an import and would like to do it in a few days. > > "a few days" is nowhere near enough time for people to even read this message.

Oh for... Of course I'm being paid gigantic piles of money to break your map! I have explained times and times again: while I do this by a request from Navads via Maps.me, and I get my paycheck from Maps.me monthly, that does not mean any mean intent for my every edit. If you believe otherwise, please set up the autoreverter script (which I open sources for your convenience) on my OSM accounts and show me the door. We don't receive any money from Shell or Navads. We don't have any advertising contracts with them. We are merely helping Navads get their data on the map — as opposed to their own failed attempts, linked in the past discussions of the same subject. I personally believe our map would be better by having more data from the original sources: not just amenities mappers were lucky to see on their way, but with a comprehensive dataset from the owning company itself. Do you believe the alternative, that no data belongs to OSM except personally surveyed data? I have made a numerous talks at conferences this year highlighting this and other similar issues in OSM, and it saddens me that I have changed nothing. I see many imports every day going unnoticed, and I see this kind of a harsh reaction on proposed imports. It is easy to see why people are reluctant to announce their imports and automated edits beforehand. Until we develop a polite, predictable and mature way of clearing imports, we will continue seeing undiscussed imports and being angry at people who just did not want to be yelled at.
