Yep, the RR8 issue seems to be a deliberate vandalism.  I don't think
this is the same situation with deck and anthony's edits.
Overeagerness maybe the word.

2009-09-17 Thread ian lopez
Regarding cleaning up and/or removing some tainted data, it could be a tricky 
one. I did some cleanup in Ashton Fields in Calamba (and 

added landuse and a road stub for future reference); Ponte Verde near the STAR 
tollway interchange in Santo Tomas (where there used to 

be some edits from maning); most of downtown Tiaong and the nearby market area 
(which can be "recovered" by making an actual GPS 

trace in the area, more if necessary); Dolores, Quezon (where I could go and 
make some GPS traces, if my schedule isn't that busy); and the 

Avida residences in the Tayabas/Lucena boundary area (someone had previously 
made an edit over the area). I also made some cleanup 

in the Bicol area - along the stretch of the Pan-Philippine Highway 
(specifically in Naga City, where it is hard to edit when using the online 

editor - epecially if one's computer is very slow and 8 years old and above), 
and some places in Albay.

The problem with some of Anthony's edits is that they have too many nodes in a 
certain way, which is probably bad for routing. The problem 

with some of Deck's edits is that some of the edits he made were probably done 
previously by other contributors (which is the other problem 

caused by some of Anthony's edits). If we are to activiate the revert script on 
those edits, madadamay ang ibang mga edits (other edits will 

be affected by it). For me, It would be best to retrace, remove or transfer 
tags, then delete the questionable nodes and ways, if there were 

some previous edits placed in that area, so that the older (and probably less 
tainted) edits will be there, although under a new node/way 

identification number.

BTW, we're lucky that we don't have to deal with people like RR8. Instead, all 
we need now is some understanding and consensus.

I dont have a car so the day your having to go out and get more traces, i can 
sit down in a starbucks or somewhere and remove the unwanted edits that the 
people need help on, At least then people like me can go out on the day and 
help but not actually be getting traces but instead be cleaning up the map

Maybe on the Metro-manila day we are having those with out cars could setup 
shop somewhere and work on things like this for you guys, then when you get 
back its just a matter of uploading the new data..

It gives me something to do within the OSM as i would like to contribute but i 
have not been so far 100% successful, done some but not much..

Regards..
Michael

Also i would like to get some good photos of the lot of you to put up on the 
web so as we all can acknowledge you guys, that have done a fantastic job so 
far..

And yes i still have a GPS unit which i will get to maning ASAP so it can be 
used more effectively..

Correct.  That's I why I am hesitant to do massive revertion (using
the revert.pl tool).  It is possible we break other people's edits
when we do automatic revertion.  I suggest we use humans to do the
reverts.

He did admitted it came from roadguide.ph so there is no question that
his edits are not allowed in OSM.  Even if there is yahoo! imagery, I
believe we can re-trace them using purely yahoo! imagery.

I have no concrete proof (user admission) this came from google
imagery (although I highly suspect it is).  If proven, I suggest we
remove this one as well.

Hi maning,

The problem is that it's hard to determine which are the edits worth keeping
and which are not. I would assume that the edits that appear where there is
Yahoo! imagery is valid and those outside are not.

Also, we still have those edits from user hellodeck that appear to be traced
from Google Maps still lingering in the database.

Regards,
Eugene

Hi,

I mentioned this issue already to the talk-ph

Basically, Anthony Balico has been adding data coming from
roadguide.ph.  I flagged his attention over this and he has stopped
doing it and started reverting his edits (since August 17, 2009).

see the log of his edits here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Anthony%20Balico/edits

The problem is, it's over a month now and this user haven't removed
everything.  I am concerned because the longer the data stays in the
database the more difficult it is to remove.  May I request everyone
to help anthony remove the data he added since april 15 and earlier.
He added more data after april 15, I am assuming this data didn't come
from roadguide already because he has traces uploaded.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Anthony%20Balico/traces

Normally I encourage newbies to correct their own mistakes (I send
them messages provately) and don't pass the burden to others.
However, anthony's contributions is so extensive and I believe this
requires special attention to the rest of group.
