Dear AI Companies, instead of sneakily scraping OpenStreetMap.org, how about a tiny $10,000 donation? We'll even throw in a shiny new download link to our entire planet's geo data! Who knew it was that easy? Start here: supporting.openstreetmap.org/d #win #ai #bots #OpenStreetMap 🌍 🤖 🤑

@Firefishy@osm.town Scraping OpenStreetMap. 🤦 First time I see that combination of words.

But wait there is more, for a $50,000 donation we'll even provide live minutely streaming updates direct from OpenStreetMap.org. #WIN #AI #Bots #OpenStreetMap

Are you a wikipedia editor? Can you help us improve the article about the historically important OpenStreetMap editor Potlatch? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potlatch Before the wikipedia admins try to disappear it into obscurity again "This is not and will not be notable" 500,000+ users say otherwise.

@Firefishy maybe @edward or @seav have some ideas? I’ve personally been somewhat discouraged about Wikipedia for similar reasons. They seem to be flagging a lot of stuff as just not “notable” enough.

I find wikipedia insufferable. Start a stub article about a US$258+ million under construction dam project and it gets subsequently removed as "not notable". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polihali #AfricanFootnote #Wikipedia #Lesotho

@Firefishy It’s not been deleted. It’s there at the exact page you linked to.

@Firefishy I just expanded your stub and clarified the issue regarding notability.

Now everything is okay.
