Re: [Talk-GB] Large swaths of "heath" in Wales?
Hi all you happy people. With regards to deleting the areas mapped by Sam888 all over Wales I frankly did not want to block out or delete these areas as I felt it would have meant modifying the map data too extensively, been very time consuming, and you would have no way of knowing which were correct or not. I'll gladly go along, as part of a project or otherwise if that was all agreed, and delete all the areas which I think are wrong - MANUALLY - but didn't want to step on other users toes. Some areas are tagged as being edited by me as I have edited or placed adjacent areas with nodes up against these "heath" polygons, but I have not originated them. I am as "legitimate" a mapper as any of the rest of you. I do not use automated tools to map and never have done. I have not bulk imported any datasets. I have also never worked for a mapping company as has been alleged but give my time freely to try to improve the map - whether I map all day or not is frankly my business, and I can use my time how I see fit. I have never operated under another username. I have one account. As for being "uncommunicative" - there was absolutely NO attempt to directly communicate with ME before you lot all got on your high horses and self-righteously began lambasting my mapping as "crap" on an open forum, and then decided it was best to edit lots of it so it did not render correctly.

Marco has kindly reverted his changeset 46000525. While it does clear off the nasty (and for the most part pointless and incorrect) yellow/brown stain all over the Snowdonia National Park - which to reiterate was not originally put there by me - it also deletes ALL other correctly mapped heathland which I have placed or edited in the past.

Re: [Talk-GB] Large swaths of "heath" in Wales?
Hi all, Dyserth contacted me through a changeset comment about the changes I made and explaining his point of view. I have henceforth decided to revert the changes I made involving his edits. I have also invited him to join the Talk-GB discussion. I have not yet reverted the other changes, in anticipation of some further discussion of what to do with the really problematic features. Anyway, anyone is free to do a revert of the remaining two changesets. Side note: By the way, are there others having issues loading JOSM's reverter plugin in the latest version of JOSM? After I switched to OAuth and the latest JOSM, and additionally re-installed my machine with Win10 before that, I can not load the reverter plugin. It fails with an "unable to find valid certification path to request target" error. I have no problem uploading changes though, so the OAuth authentication works. As a consequence, the revert has been done manually by editing the saved local OSM data again and uploading it.
