Be friendly: OpenGeofiction can be confusing at first

This is a page for experienced mappers to identify and contact new users editing in the wrong places. Instructions are as follows:

1. Search: Refresh the "Recent edits" list below, and sort by User ID so the newest users are at the top. Click on a username (skipping any on the "Contacted users" list) and then click "Edits" to see where they're editing.
2. Confirm & List: If they seem lost, look at the overview map to make sure they do not own the area, and check the "Contacted users" list below to confirm they haven't already been contacted. If they're not on the list, add them at the top. Use the format * {{OGF user|NEWUSERNAME}} ~~~~
3. Contact: Send the user a friendly message (see suggested message) via OGF inbox. If they are violating other rules (e.g. well-known place names, real companies/organizations, unrealistic content/scale, etc), you can mention those things as well.
4. Check back: If they don't reply to your message, look in on their mapping later. If they are still editing inappropriately, notify admin.

Please note that new users can edit only in the blue territories on the [overview map.](http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/OGF:Territories) After 7 days, you can contact admin to request to own a green territory, following the guidelines at [OGF:Territory assignment](https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/OGF:Territory_assignment).

If you have questions or anything, just let me know. Thanks for understanding, and welcome to our world!
