I believe we have already asked nicely, but I am not actually suggesting that anyone applies their footwear to anyone else's trouser fabric of course, only that we should do what is necessary to ensure that we have our house in order before expecting the same from others. As Frederick points out however, any contributor can challenge any user of the data on their attribution of the contributors work. > > Incidentally I would also point out that much of that page is the work > of one especially vociferous individual and there is considerable > debate > among other people as to whether all the claims made there are > accurate. > > I for example added text disputing whether openstreetmap.org was > lacking > attribution and the user in question simply reverted that edit without > any comment or discussion. > > The main issue of debate surrounds exactly what forms of attribution > are/are not valid. Sure, so lets get that page showing how things should be onto the wiki and then make sure all the projects close to OSM comply and then we can work out from there (and also ensure that the list of sites lacking proper attribution is accurate).
