Hello, I apologize for the misunderstanding. I have removed the promotional description from my user profile. I am a real local practitioner just wanting to map my physical office correctly. I now understand that the name field must strictly reflect my physical storefront, so I will only use 'H...

Thanks for making the changes, in changeset 183691922 . I reviewed them, and everything looked good (modulo any local conventions I'm unaware of). Happy mapping!

Indeed, that's great advice for other SEO accounts like yours. And yup, exactly--as the changeset message states, this revert was performed due to likely copying data off Google Maps, as you verified now. Thanks for understanding!

Given most of your claims don't make any sense given what either of us actually changed, I suspect you have somehow confused my changes here with something else entirely. I highly recommend the Better-OSM-org user script that shows much more clearly what changed, or if not using OSMCha to view ...

Its not "my" map, I'm just a community volunteer like everyone else (and not a local mapper like yourself). Unlike the big Western mapping companies, the data in OpenStreetMap is created and edited by the local community who live in and work in each place, so if you see something that...
7 ~ 2 days agoCAM-Gerlach_Revert Put a bit more generously, you seem to have a fair amount of knowledge about the maps in Viet Nam and how they should be updated, and given the effort you've spent advocating for those changes it's clear that you care a lot about them. It would be great to see you put that time into mappin...

Hi CAM-Gerlach_Revert,

I think something went wrong here. Both of your nodes contain spammy descriptions.

Best regards

Hi Pascal, see my reply to your other comment for full details: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/179664298#c1566980 but TL;DR for anyone else reading, I had to revert the SEO spammer's changesets one by one due to OSM-Revert not letting my new-ish dedicated `_Revert` account revert them ...

Hello, welcome and thank you for your contribution to OSM!

Your changeset was commented because your added description, note or slogan contain detailed text that may be interpreted as promotional or SEO-related. To ensure OSM remains neutral and focused on map data, I recommend keeping descriptio...
2 ~ 2 months agoCAM-Gerlach_Revert I had to revert this in multiple steps due to the artificial limitations of OSM-Revert, so my revert account temporarily appeared to be responsible for the SEO spam text I was reverting but it is all reverted and removed now.

(Hopefully the bot doesn't add back the reverted SEO spam text as it did in another changeset)

Hi CAM-Gerlach_Revert, CAM-Gerlach,

there are no "artificial limitations" involved here. As I wrote in the changeset discussion (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/179243590), this was caused by a bug in the bot’s rule set. The issue has been fixed, so this constellation shou...

Hi Pascal, sorry if I wasn't totally clear here--the "artificial limitations" mentioned above refer to OSM-Revert, nothing to do with the NeisBot bug (which would have only been a potential factor given the issue with the former, and of course you fixed now in any case).

Namely, si...
