> Aren't there several cases where this isn't followed, like Wheelmap? Wheelmap is the only case I know of. If you know of more, please tell. The wheelmap case has been much discussed and their "wheelmap visitor" edits are tolerated because they never add new objects, and only add/modify one single tag between one of three settings. This was considered limited enough to be unlikely to risk copyright violations or trigger edit wars. Allowing wheelmap to do what they do was, however, never meant as a carte blanche for everyone to add data under "proxy users"; other requests to do that on a broader scale have routinely been rejected because they risk running into all kinds of trouble - legally and community wise.
