Say where to report vandalism

Mention where to report vandalism.

Big cases apparently should be reported to data@osmfoundation.org, is all the user can dig out of the article.

No the user doesn't always want to edit the map. Jidanni (talk) 04:43, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

As you correctly noted, if someone is unwilling or unable to make an edit then contacting data@osmfoundation.org is an alternative. It is not encouraged for minor issues as their waiting queue is extremely long already. Maybe opening a note can be considered as an alternative but reaction time may be years or decades.

Well most websites have Report or Flag buttons all over the place. Jidanni (talk) 05:46, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
In OSM making notes report more visible would not be helpful as currently bottleneck is a mapper time necessary to fix them, adding more notes is not so helpful. Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 10:13, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
