Tracey,
I just want to say some of the edits are really destructive: eg entire
streets are changed/removed (on campus and off campus). My automated
error checking script comparing what is in the City of Ottawa street
list and what is in OSM caught some errors, which I spent time
fixing. Adding fire hydrants and trees in the middle of roads,
tagging a street lamp as an address are other very weird things I
found. The students need to pay way more attention to what they are
doing.
Less volume, more quality please!

1. the restriction was a login(zero minute) block to grab users
attention after multiple attempts trying to contact:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/YueYuan/history#map=18/45.35567/-75.75291
so once they login and view the message they can edit again
2. They have not been editing just around Carleton Campus, there
have been students editing out on baseline and other areas of Ottawa
3. I've been trying to fix them, but at 1000+ changesets this is
going to be a monumental task.
I'm not trying to stop your students from contributing, but when
they simply ignore advice we try to give them to correct said
actions(kept contributing after multiple changeset comments: they
get an email per changeset comment) we need a higher power(admins)
to step in so we can discuss like human beings.

Greetings OSM mappers;
I understand that students for COMS2200 have been blocked from
posting to OSM.
There was also an unfortunate email sent to Carleton University
by one of your members that is circulating through the
administration from (james2...@gmail.com
<mailto:james2...@gmail.com>).
The data are being contributed as part of an assignment
described here - https://github.com/TraceyLauriault/COMS2200A
<https://github.com/TraceyLauriault/COMS2200A>
I understand that the students are making some small and some
large mistakes that may not meet your OSM data quality
standards. The students are restricted to only be mapping the
Carleton University Campus.
I wonder if it might be possible to unlock the restriction to
let them finish the assignment. They should be done by next
week. There are 150 students. Once the assignment is complete I
would gladly work with you to salvage the data, delete some
data, repair some data or wipe all of the data.
We apologize for this inconvenience and hope that you can be
empathetic and allow for the assignment to be completed so that
the students can be assessed.
Also, perhaps there are a number of common errors and if you
identify them we may be able to fix them.
Sincerely
Tracey
