(1) you are person who introduced this topic in
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2022-June/087554.html
(2) in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Lithuania&diff=2335627&oldid=2335616
you restored false claim that you need dedicated GPS device to map POIs
(and some other misleading and outdated claims) 
you also incorrectly claimed that my edit made it out of synch with
Lithuanian language version (I edited both)
(3) you then proceeded to complain about my edits on Wiki

That seems to not be a good example of me making a harmful edits.
(if anyone else things that I made a mistake here - let me know)

Feel free to make own documentation with claims that you are not allowed
to map shops in OSM without dedicated GPS device, as long as it 
is not presented to other mappers as OSM rules and it makes clear
that it is your personal opinion/preference/dream.

If Lithuanian community claims that they can ban people from mapping
shops if they do not use high-precision GPS then they are wrong
and such decision is invalid.

Have you claimed to other mappers that they need such specialist
hardware to add a shop? Shops can be added based on existing data,
without any GPS hardware (not even smartphone is needed).

Either this page was outdated or this decision was invalid in the 
first place and based on being unaware how things can be mapped,
based on - for example - already mapped buildings and addresses
and roads, and survey data.
