“The context”, as you insist, is across town in a neighborhood that I have personally had no occasion to revisit. For this area to be mapped correctly, someone will likely need to go survey it.

I think we have fundamentally different understandings of what notes are for. The way you’ve been handling notes makes sense to me if notes are requests for data entry. You are rightly incapable of processing an incomplete or incomprehensible data entry request, so in that understanding the request should be rejected.

My understanding of notes is that they are for coordinating work between contributors. And on the ground surveys are foundational to that work. It is entirely expected and reasonable that notes will exist which require surveys—that is, notes which cannot be processed remotely, and which may not even be comprehensible to someone unfamiliar with the area.

I’ve skimmed your recent history and see a concerning volume of notes that you’ve closed because you, remotely, lack the information necessary to personally resolve the issue. Closing notes does not make the problem go away. It does however make the problem more difficult for other contributors to resolve by suppressing communication and increasing the likelihood that the problem goes unnoticed.
