Loving the irony in this statement: "English people seems to love to be in contradiction with the French ones !" Dave F. On 21/09/2014 11:07, Michael Reichert wrote:
Hi, I have discovered that the user OpenBeerMapContributor [1] uploads anonymous edits from OpenBeerMap [2] to OSM database. Users can edit parts of OSM data via OpenBeerMap. The can add/modify the tags brewery=*, opening_hours=*, name=*, internet_access=*, brewery:note=* and "Happy Hours" (I don't know where this information is being written to). They do not have to log in. The website itself does not inform users that their edits will be written to OSM database. This is problem. Therefore, edits may contain wrong formatted opening hours information or copyright infringement and OSM users cannot contact the users. The good thing: Users cannot add new POIs, i.e. they cannot create duplicates. As far as I know, only to accounts have the permission to do anonymous edits, wheelmap_visitor [3] and kort-to-osm [4]. wheelmap_visitor only edits wheelchair=* and wheelchair:description=*. This is much less information than OpenBeerMap users can do. Has Singing-Poppy, maintainer of OpenBeerMap, requested for doing anonymous edits? If yes, where is this permission documented? I have send a PN to user Singing-Poppy that I have written this mail to talk mailing list.
