Gobras City Edits

Posted by Easky30 on 5 September 2016 in English.

I understand that Gobras City is a blue area and anyone can feel free to edit whatever they please. I think going forward there needs to be some communication regarding edits to other’s work. For the last two years I made it a habit not to make changes to any previous work no matter how it looked and if I did it would be very minor. I really didn’t mind when half of my schools were renamed, airports turned into bases, removing the park background of the zoo etc. What does bother me is the several hours of work I did near Sky Point Boulevard & Lamong Road. A lot of the area is now changed without any notice. If someone felt the traffic pattern did not work or they did not like it then send me a message. One of the reasons I like Gobras City so much is the interaction with other users and their work and they way it is starting grow like a real city flaws and all.

Agreed. When we think it makes sense to wholesale rework existing mapping then it really should be discussed at OGF:Gobras City first. Or at the very least explain the edits using a commit message.

Revert the edits?

I don’t think we can have collaboration or communication requirements in blue territories (that’s what purple territories are for), but anything that seems like vandalism, nonsense or cluelessness can simply be reverted.

Or if the two people involved just have different visions for an area, maybe the new idea can be copied and pasted to an empty space nearby, and the old idea restored in the original location, or vice versa. There’s tons of empty space in Gobrassanya.

In any case, feel free to send the person a friendly private message:

Hi there, I noticed you changed a lot of my work in the Sky Point area. Could you explain the reasoning? Let’s try to figure something out. Thanks!

Or start a group discussion in the wiki, and send the person a link:

removing the park background of the zoo

Sorry, that was me five months ago. I just uploaded a changeset that reverts the change.
