[talk-au] Motorway edits in NSW / Vic
Just for a info, the people on the talk-gb list have noticed a number of edits upgrading unfinished motorways to "constructed" status. The same user has made similar edits in Australia, the most recent of which is: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/20479197 Are these valid (i.e. have these roads been completed ahead of schedule) or is there a problem here as well?

And going through his other edits, the Western Highway around Ballarat needs to be reverted to construction. Clearly he has no idea what he is doing here.

Re: [talk-au] Motorway edits in NSW / Vic
Sorry guys, another one. This change is just pure vandalism. He's created non-existent freeways and roads around Ballarat. http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/20425446 On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 7:50 AM, Leon Kernan wrote: > And going through his other edits, the Western Highway around Ballarat > needs to be reverted to construction. > Clearly he has no idea what he is doing here. > > > On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 7:47 AM, Leon Kernan wrote: > >> Shepparton bypass is still at the proposed stage according to Vicroads. >> >> >> http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/RoadProjects/PlanningAndProposals/Regional/GoulburnValleyHighwayShepparton.htm >> >> >> On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 2:03 AM, SomeoneElse > > wrote: >> >>> Just for a info, the people on the talk-gb list have noticed a number of >>> edits upgrading unfinished motorways to "constructed" status.

If someone more local than me wants to have a go at the reversions that would make sense (more likely to be able to resolve any edit clashes correctly), but if not I could have a go once the full list of changes to revert is known.

Re: [talk-au] Motorway edits in NSW / Vic
Hi all I am not of great help here as it is all out of Queensland, but has anyone written to ask them to justify their edits? It would at least make them know we are keeping an eye on them, and if it is purely sneaky vandalism, scare them off. Cheers, and good spotting! chtfn On Tue 11 Feb 2014 09:11:36 EST, SomeoneElse wrote: Leon Kernan wrote: Sorry guys, another one. This change is just pure vandalism.

Maybe if it's vandalism you should read the section on vandalism in the wiki. Has anyone contacted the user.

I mentioned it here because I figured that not too many people would be suscribed to both talk-gb and talk-au.

Re: [talk-au] Motorway edits in NSW / Vic
Its touched on in the Vandalism Wiki but not referred to the DWG page but if there is not a suitable response then bringing it to the attention of the Data Working Group for user blocking is the next step I guess. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data_working_group#User_Blocks It suggest contacting them via the address at the bottom of that page. If no response is made and the edits continue I would suggest that be the next step (if it hasn't been suggested already) although if what has been done is an obvious vandalism attempt then I'd be referring the issue to the DWG.
