It is shown to new contributors, not directly but they get informed. If you create an account, you will see a welcome page after clicking on the confirmation link which you get via email. This page explains basic things like the data model (node, way, relation) and says that there are special rules for imports and mechanical edits. > - Are not accepted by new or existing contributors > - Doesn't seem to have been voted on before their "establishment" There are dozens of other rules which have neither been voted nor being accepted by every contributor. Just have a look at Good_Practice at OSM wiki. None of those items has been voted. They are basic rules. The Contributor Terms are a replacement for the former CC-BY-SA license all contributors granted (to everyone directly). Nowadays OSMF "collects" all these rights using a contract called Contributor Terms. > - Seems to have been written by an eminent, but small set of > contributors (history > > <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct&offset=&limit=500&action=history> > ) Did you have a look at the mailing list archives of the time when this policy was written (+-6 months)? Both Import Guidelines and Automated Edits Code of Conduct are guidelines which will reduce the likelihood that your import/mechanical edit gets reverted. We don't have a Don't Delete Everything Policy. Nevertheless, we revert vandalism (if we discover it). Best regards Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
