From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I did a few small corrections in the area I live. I removed a public road that wasn't a road but a private paved path. I got heavily criticized in a PM by another member for doing so. Haven't bothered doing anything since
Editing since people are correction me. Perhaps path is the wrong word to have used. Driveway would probably be more suitable.
Long ago I started my city when there was nothing.
I did poor job, but I mapped streets in parts of the city I lived until then.
One or two years ago people fixed my mistakes and mapped the rest of the city. I consider it huge success, so just start and others will come and add more details.
It was great feeling, calming and fun. And addicting.
Haven't done anything recent since all locations I am familiar with are now mapped to great details.
Huh. I'm sorry that was your reception. They should have been helpful towards a new member of the community. It looks like they should have redirected you to the access=private article.
You're not supposed to remove roads. Just mark it as private
It wasn't a road
