I've taken the time and at least on more or less current pages have
redone the edits with a bit a finer brush, essentially with a very
small number of exceptions there should be no noticeable impact on
actual content now.<br>
<br>
I'm reaching out to our counsel to see if we can release the
C&D, but IMHO it is unlikely. Further I know that the statement
has caused some unease and questions about problematic/unproblematic
use of the term in question and the scope of our request to refrain
from using it, I will again see if we can issue a clarifying
statement on that.<br>

Because of the time constraints the removal of the google links is
quite rough, however most (as in all except a handful) of the
links were either old, outdated, or/and unused, as for example
essentially all links to old errors in Google maps based on
TeleAtlas data, which should have been deleted years ago.
Naturally you can add back sanitized links, however I would in
general question why we would want to use google data in our own
documentation in the first place (that is naturally a different
discussion).<br>
<br>
As for the rest Jeff Meyer has summarized it nicely.<br>

<span style="white-space: pre;">> Hi. Regardless of that
trademark business, I've checked Simon's edits and they mostly
consist of removing links to google maps, which contain empty
"geocode" parameter and them (and many other redundant
parameters that editors didn't bother to omit). Some of the
edits are quite funny, for example, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Essex_Way&diff=prev&oldid=861689">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Essex_Way&diff=prev&oldid=861689</a>
(removed a link to display kml with google maps).<br>
><br>
> I cannot understand why links to google maps have become
prohibited in our wiki, but there are probably one or two
meaningful edits and lots of what can be called vandalism. For
example, cleaning "Copyright Easter Eggs" pages from links to
mentioned easter eggs.<br>
><br>
> So, I vote for 1) reverting all those edits; 2) explaining
in detail what is prohibited (what words, which links etc.) and
what is not; 3) editing wiki more thoroughly, so every edit
could be understood.<br>
