Hi Martin, I didn’t have time to review your work, but just wanted to add: don’t despair if you complete some tiles and they aren’t promptly validated! HOT has grown a lot in the past year or so and we have a lot more mappers than validators as a result. So sometimes it can take a little time to get a response. Posting to the listserv like you did is a great way to call attention to tiles that need a second look. Welcome to OSM and keep on mapping!
