Regarding these notes (which the community did not notice and the user did not send to the local community on Telegram or the mailing list), and his caused the loss of many points on the map that had existed for more than ten years and no one had complained
about them!.</div>

As for the names, a point must be clarified, which is that we in Arab countries live in vast desert spaces And we name everything in it and it is documented and preserved even in ancient Arabic poetry, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">And
we have many references for verification, and the names may be repeated a lot, for example (and this is a lot) a valley may be called after the type of trees spread in it, so you find the same name repeated 25 times in Saudi Arabia and in different regions,
A village may be called by a specific name that has the same name as another village that is far away from it (this is confusing for contributors who are inexperienced with geographical names locally, so he searches for his village and discovers another, then
deletes it or comments that it is incorrect!!) This applies to the user you mentioned:</span></div>

<p>Hello Saeed,</p>
<p>Details of the deletion can be seen on changesets such as <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/119556694" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="x_moz-txt-link-freetext">
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/119556694</a> .</p>
<p>The DWG received a complaint that this import was of particularly poor quality. Various people tried to contact the imported, with no luck:
<a href="http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=11567" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="x_moz-txt-link-freetext">
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=11567</a> .</p>
<p>If you believe that this data (or perhaps some of this data) is of good enough quality to import, you'll need to follow the procedure at
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="x_moz-txt-link-freetext">
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines</a> , which includes making a case for the import (looking at licence, data quality, etc.) including messages to this list.</p>
<p>If you'd like to email the DWG about this ticket please email <a href="mailto:data@openstreetmap.org" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="x_moz-txt-link-abbreviated">
data@openstreetmap.org</a> with a subject of "Re: [Ticket#2020112810000282] Yemen".<br>
