Getting consensus
Hi Aaron
My sincere thanks on behalf of the Australian Open Street Map community for your many contributions to the map.
Unfortunately, there is some dissatisfaction in the Australian Open Street Map community with some of your larger edits including wiki changes on bikes and paths and the deletion of the Perth bike route network.
We ask you to seek consensus from the community before making large changes, particularly changes which reverse prior understandings and are large in scope.
Your changes to the wiki on bikes and paths are a particular issue in this letter. We propose a six step process in reverting the Australian Tagging Guidelines to community understandings of tagging practice.
1 get community support from talk-au for this process 2 Contact Aaron and get his agreement 3 Thorsten rolls back the wiki to an agreed state 4 Dian tidys up the wiki 5 Aaron does not edit the wiki until Dian has finished 6 we do not call for DWG intervention unless a party will not follow the agreed process
We are at step 2. It is important that we know you have read this letter. Please reply by a post to https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/
This is your opportunity to put your case. There is a lot of discussion on talk-au regarding your edits. I suggest you read it and respond. Please let us know whether you agree with the 6 step process and if you do not agree, your reasons.
Thanks Tony Forster
Missing file information
Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.
Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.
Are you the creator of image File:Roundabout Rotary.png ?
Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?
Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ" or "this is map generated from OpenStreetMap data and SRTM data" or "map generated from OSM data and only OSM data" or "This is my work based on file -link-to-page-with-that-file-and-its-licensing-info-" or "used file downloaded from internet to create it, no idea which one".
Doing this would be already very useful.
Licensing - photos
In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?
In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.
Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?
Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?
If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.
You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self|Aaronsta}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.
Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified 2022, June}} from the file page.
Licensing - other images
If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.
See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.
note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.
note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.
Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.
Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.
Help
Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.
Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).
If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.
(sorry if I missed something that already states license and source: I am looking through over 20 000 files and fixing obvious cases on my own, in other I ask people who upladed files, but it is possible that I missed something - in such case also please answer)

Roundabout tagging guidelines?
Hi,
I believe that in this changeset you introduced the following guidelines to the Tag:junction=roundabout article:
Important Consideration When Mapping
All ways which intersect with the junction=roundabout should be connected to a separate node. Ways which enter and exit a roundabout should never connect to the same node on the roundabout.
This is required to allow routing applications and software to provide correct directions, otherwise the routing software will not correctly recognise the roundabout, or that it is a junction.
Is there any resource available as the source for the information that such tagging is actually a problem for any routing software (e.g. mailing list/forum discussion, a bug report, a screenshot of routing directions etc.)?
