[OSM-talk] is OSM a fake map.

[Simon Poole]

A couple of general points first:

- nobody "owns" their OSM data in any larger OSM community your data
will be changed by other mappers, and sometimes they will be wrong and
sometimes you,

- good comments and source tags are your friend, indicating how the data
was sourced is key to enabling other mappers to understanding what you did

In your specific case you should engage with the mapper(s) in question
via changeset comments and try to explain the situation to them. If that
doesn't work out, you can approach the DWG (data at osmfoundation.org) and
ask them to have a look at the situation. If necessary they will
intervene and try to resolve the issues.
