Re: [Talk-ca] vreimer again
luckily no other edits have been done on the changeset. quick check shows it's malicious or at least careless deletion revert is done but it seems there are 2 duplicated way which should be deleted, maybe veimar tried to fix it but damaged in Potlatch live mode and has no clue about undo good: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/45266403 bad: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/45266460 , http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/45266460 On 5 Mar 2010, at 21:59 , James Ewen wrote: > Now he's buggered up Lesser Slave Lake... > > http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/50259428 > > How do you revert screw ups? > > James > VE6SRV > > ___ > Talk-ca mailing list > Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] vreimer again
I think it should be pointed out that vreimer hasn't made any edits since the blocking, and this buggering up was done beforehand (Feb 13, 2010 to be exact). I just think it's worth noting that this Lesser Slave Lake issue is not about vreimer continuing to make poor editing decisions post-block. It would be quite unfortunate if the blocking has scared vreimer off OSM (rather than participating and learning); somebody who spends as much time as him on OSM would be a good ally, with more mentorship.

Yes, indeed... I should have stated more correctly: Now I've noticed that vreimer has caused a problem with Lesser Slave Lake... In an opensource project like OSM, many hands make light work, but those hands need to be adding to the quality of the product, not just quantity. vreimer is indeed prolific, but at the same time seems to be introducing quite a bit of less than stellar quality information. It would be in everyone's best interest to steer this individual towards more helpful editing of the OSM data. It just gets frustrating when you find data that was previously accurately representing the real world has been rendered less than perfect, and that almost all of these edits all have the same username associated with them.
