I have tried to contact the user sivan00 about several edits, but got no answer. Since the messages were sent, the user continued to be very active editing the map, as seen in the user’s history.
The second message is about repeated degradation of data that is known to be correct.
It is similar to the degradation of data reported by anatoly77g - 1.5 months after that post.
Folks,
I’m terribly sorry if some errors were introduced as part of the modifications/corrections I have been making to OSM. Throughout my work I have encountered countless number of errors and corrected them to the best of my knowledge. If in some cases, someone thinks I made a mistake he is welcome to correct it. I the future, I will avoid correcting trails I’m not sure of, as this seems to be the main issue here.
Mistakes happen, especially if you’re new to this and that’s okay. We appreciate your enthusiasm in correcting OSM mistakes.
That said, you seem to have introduced countless misrepresentations of paths as tracks. Think of all the grief caused to people planning 4x4 trips based on OSM and getting stuck. I believe it is your responsibility, rather thand the community’s, to go over these errors and correct them one by one.
Sorry for missing this thread. I should have posted my previous reverts here. User Haim Eliezer Rogovin appears to be creating random castles. Two reverts so far.
Interestingly, they were introduced by an apparently good user with lots of good contributions. I’d advise scanning the user’s history to see if more bad nodes were pushed among the good ones.
I think the edit is probably correct, judging by Tel Aviv’s GIS system - the 2016 aerial photo shows the parking lot, but the 2017 aerial photo shows the entire stadium is now a construction site.
I tried looking at this tile using http://simon04.dev.openstreetmap.org/whodidit/
but non of the changes listed there seem to have deleted anything. It could be that this app is incomplete and doesn’t list all changes, or it could be that there was never really an area there. I don’t know how to tell for sure.
Also, it’s not really a residential area, but rather a boarding school:
