My speculation is that Distriktstandvården (a chain of dental clinics) has taken "ownership" of "their" nodes and once a day check that the values in osm database correspond to that of their internal database. Whatever covid restrictions Sweden had are long gone, just lingering on in some databases. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] When two bots go to war
There seems to have been an automated edit to add opening_hours:covid19 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening%20hours:covid19?uselang=en-GB=same. I'm a bit curious how this can be an automated edit. Or does the bot take external data of objects where the covid19 opening hours are the same? And are covid19 restrictions still in place in Sweden?

Shouldn't they be amended with something like; "A bot should not edit the same object twice" the bots do what they're told and their edits must have been approved beforehand so the problem seems to be that the community has asked for 2 contradictory things or that there's a bug or that there's a reason (I'm thinking, for example, of deleting useless tags or correcting recurring errors that can occur more than once on the same object, even if it's rare), or someone is doing an buggy unpproved AE I regularly make mechanical edits and it would obviously be practical to have a warning (and not a ban) for objects modified 2x however I can't think of any concrete cases where this would be anything other than a false positive ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] When two bots go to war
Well, this one came to light only because it happened in a big city where a local mapper happened to notice it. Who knows if there are other bot wars going on in Siberia or elsewhere where there are very few local mappers. And I don't mean that a bot never should be allowed to edit an object a second time, just that the bot owner should have to review it if that bot tries to change an object twice.

I think we can rely on reason and logic here instead of extra guidelines. This was obviously not intentional and we don't need to write guidelines against it.
