Good afternoon!
I would like to present you our new corporate account https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/llc_datadelivery.
We don’t have any other accounts, all changes and additions will be carried out through this account. Have a nice day everyone! smile
You missed the idea. It is not me or somebody else who is to check the import. It is YOUR responsibility to check the data before importing it. If you do not have possibility to check - then do not import the data. Simple.
You’re saying you’ve checked the data on the ground without coming to Lithuania?
If a new pharmacy point is being captured and you find another one in vicinity (say 20 meters), how do you know if a new pharmacy has opened or the old one was purchased by a different network?
Without checking information on the ground - neighbouring objects, address etc. - such imports are not useful, they are harmful - they create work for people who actually know situation on the ground. Writing automated import is dead easy, anybody can do that, checking quality of a dataset on the ground is hard.
Good day to all! I would like to note the moment, all data that we upload to the OSM card, we transfer data on behalf of the Client. If suddenly you think that they are incorrect, I can provide the personal contacts of the owner of any company. I hope for your discretion.
If you’re not going to do any work - check on the ground, then do nothing. Import is one of the easiest things to do, schoolchildren can do it. Checking on the ground, comparing with surroundings is the hard thing, it is the only thing which gives VALUE. If you do not plan to give value - then do nothing.
I will contact those companies myself and describe your problematic activities to them if you persist on doing useless and harmful automated imports.
Good afternoon, Thomas. What are OUR useless imports? The client sends us the exact address with a pin on the location of the point. We check these points on the map and only then import them. To clarify some points, WE post all the information about the import on the forum.
Explain to me what our mistakes are.
You do NOT have local knowledge, you do NOT do checking on the ground. You’re only doing the trivial/undemanding part - importing - and hope that local mappers will do the hard work - clean up after you. I have already wasted too much time cleaning up after you initial imports and I’m still finding more incorrect data. You do not speak Lithuanian, so you’re entering crap data into some fields, like „BENU Vaistinė UAB“, WTH is that? You’re changing verified website addresses into incorrect ones, you’re setting address as per company data, not as actual data on the ground.
Therefore it is NOT OK to proceed with your automated imports. You DO NOT have local community agreement.
As you persist on importing unverified low quality data I have no other option but to contact companies involved and inform then on low quality and damaged caused by your actions.
Good day!
Explain to me why you consider our imports to be of poor quality? The fact that we are not in Lithuania does not mean poor quality imports.
We import the data that the client provides to us, that is, the trustee. In my opinion, you are making unfounded rollbacks.
Continue discussion where majority of Lithuanian mappers are - on mailing list talk-lt.
Here I can only note, that it seems you’re missing the idea of OpenStreetMap as such. It is a collection of local knowledge, not a place to dump data. You do not have local knowledge (of Lithuania).
If you have problems with my reverts you can refer to LWG, we will see what they will say about this whole enterprise of dumping data to OSM database with local knowledge (not only in Lithuania).
