I made a correction in English, French and Russian and asked the 
linguists to translate it to other languages.
I suggested _thinking twice_ to the persons who write notes as follows:

I see that, English people are requested to stop _thinking twice_ 
because, as it often happens to what one does for OSM, that advice has 
been removed from the English version, that French and Russian people 
must continue to think twice because the text remained and that German 
people and probably others were always requested to continue making 
errors because the text never changed:
> Gib einen kurzen Hinweis auf der Karte, wenn etwas fehlt oder falsch 
> ist, z.B. ein "*Einbahn in der falschen Richtung*" ...
Removal happened to other corrections I made, that's the way OSM goes.
I hope I have answered your question, Eugene.

All the best,

André.
