Thanks Frederik - I will pass that on to talk-es. 

My next question was going to be about name:xx, but you beat me to it!

This is not what I had in mind. What I had in mind was people suggesting
a refinement to my selection process, for example telling me that "if
the name change is simply expanding Av to Avenida then you can ignore that".

I can cater for such edits as you describe and refrain from removing
names where a source tag has been added after chdr, but I don't have a
good feeling about it. I think it would be the cleanest way to delete
all names and then have them re-added, perhaps with the help of
Maproulette or similar.

The current plan is to re-set the name tag to whatever it was before
chdr has edited the name (including "empty" if it was a name added by
chdr), EXCEPT where the name has meanwhile been changed by someone else,
and also EXCEPT where chdr has made primitive edits like a name expansion.

I have noticed that chdr has sometimes also added name:xx attributes
that would have to meet a similar fate.

I'd say not before 15th September, but in September.

Ideally, look at a few samples from my list and check if they do indeed
represent a name that was added by chdr, and shout if they find that my
script has identified a case where chdr didn't indeed add meaningful
information.

Mikel has already identified one issue where the script didn't properly
recognize a simple "N"->"North" expansion, and there might be more.

I have uploaded a slightly reduced file that now shows the following counts:

  16331 "Mexico"
  15108 "Brazil"
  11944 "United States of America"
   6763 "RSA"
   2802 "Spain"
   2608 "Australia"
   1922 "Argentina"
   1672 "Nigeria"
   1535 "India"
   1428 "Canada"
952 "Malaysia"
744 "Botswana"
701 "Philippines"
619 "Indonesia"
553 "Italy"
414 "Turkey"
290 "Hungary"
283 "Chile"
245 "Kenya"
127 "Saudi Arabia"
107 "Paraguay"
106 "Panama"
100 "Morocco"

The counts have changed mainly for the US, and the per-state numbers
look like this:

   5150 "Arizona"
   5102 "Texas"
592 "New York"
132 "New Jersey"
129 "New Mexico"
105 "Illinois"
 96 "California"
 90 "Hawaii"
 81 "District of Columbia"
 79 "Colorado"
 61 "Iowa"
 49 "Rhode Island"
 46 "Michigan"
 27 "Nebraska"
 27 "Missouri"
 26 "Kansas"
 25 "Pennsylvania"
 20 "West Virginia"
 19 "Maryland"
 16 "Georgia"
 14 "Ohio"
 14 "Nevada"
 13 "Minnesota"
  9 "South Dakota"
  8 "Virginia"
  8 "Indiana"
  3 "Connecticut"
  1 "North Carolina"
  1 "Maine"

Bye
Frederik

Re: [OSM-talk] Redacting 75, 000 street names contributed by user chdr (Spain)

2017-08-30 Thread alan_gr
(I will continue in Nelson's thread as my post also relates to a specific
"other country")

The impact on Spain is currently being discussed in the talk-es mailing
list:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-es/2017-August/015416.html

Spain has a legitimate source of street names in the form of the official
cadastre, so this shouldn't be a huge issue.

However there is confusion about the process. Several mappers on talk-es
think that if the name of the affected streets can be verified using the
cadastre ahead of time, this will avoid them being deleted. Some mappers
have already started checking streets and tagging them as "source=Cadastro
España". I think this is based partly on the paragraph in the first post
about "suggesting a refinement that would leave more names in place". If I
have understood the original thread correctly this editing doesn't really
achieve anything, as the names will be redacted anyway and the mappers will
need to edit all the ways a second time. But that thread has grown in to
something quite intimidating, even for a native English speaker, and it is
difficult to pick out the bits that would make this clear.

It would be useful to state (or restate) 
- exactly what will happen on "redaction day", including the impact on ways
that have been edited by other mappers AFTER chdr
- approximately when "redaction day" is likely to happen
- what mappers should do (or not do) now.
