Maybe a kid or young teen, unfortunately we don’t know. Doesn’t OSM have a minimum age requirement for a user?

 

Going on, I would also like to note his user descriptions. First, it was “U M G”, then it become “Home Countries Map”. Looks child stuff, but better beware, he could just be feigning that. And also note his changeset comments like “Drawing paint secondary road map blocked SometingElse”” “One Way Another May Road Number”. I can’t understand those, and I’ll readily question his competence.

It's always been like that - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_you%27re_a_dog is from 1993 (!)

Based on the reactions and comments from this mapper, my guess is that they're still at school.

Best regards

Maybe sorry if my first response was an overreaction, but I can’t understand his changeset comments in the first place and he repeatedly trolled me (and also you) with proposed block in changeset comments and in diary posts that have been deleted. Maybe he could just be throwing a fit after being reverted, but it’s hard to tell what he means behind a screen. His English is incomprehensible, and his profile pic is kind of childish art, but that’s all I know about him. We can’t just trust anyone in the Net.

I think we need to take a bit of a step back here.

 

This is a new account with just over 100 edits, and they're going to make mistakes (I certainly did at that stage).  They may not fully understand what they're editing, or why some things should be mapped as one thing or another.

 

The changeset discussion comments they've received can be seen at https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=14817502 .

 

While it's great to get in touch and say what they've done wrong, what would be better would be to explain in a bit more detail why (e.g. with changeset comments link to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_changeset_comments which explains how they help).

 

Rather than "clean your mess" it would help to explain why something is classified as A not B, and to offer to help with other questions that they will surely have.

 

With regard to "Drawing paint secondary road map blocked SometingElse" it's not really "Blackmail"; it's just a comment by someone who's hurting from their first interaction with the OSM community.

 

Maybe it just needs someone in the area (perhaps someone not previously involved) to say "hello and welcome" and ask "how can I help"?

 

Best Regards,

 

Andy

For everyone who wants to deal with this mapper, be warned! You can be singled out for false accusation of all sorts, and he's now resorting to trolling every user who monitors his edits. He's now blocked, but he's not going to stop until he gets a longer block.

He’s back again, and he's now blackmailing you in his latest edit comment (i.e. Drawing paint secondary road map blocked SometingElse). Already warned some local users to be careful. Please consider revert once user is blocked.

We'll keep an eye on future edits.
