Security zone in South Korea

Hello, in this changeset you deleted a couple of buildings and your comment says that you deleted them because they are in a South Korean "security area". However, OSM generally does not follow specific national security interests regarding mapping. If a building is visible on aerial imagery, it can be mapped in OSM, regardless of whether it is located in a security area or not. Deleting such buildings, as you have done here, can be seen as vandalism on OSM. Please don't do that.

Using OpenStreetMap in South Korea

If you need to delete military facilities in OpenStreetMap to make it useable in South Korea (which complies with local security law), please refer OpenStreetMap map of South Korea without military installations for details.
