Hello Andy,
Last week, Project NOAH conducted a one-day OSM workshop for the
municipalities of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and La Union. Part of the
workshop is to teach them how to use JOSM and other mapping tools such as
GPS devices and OsmAnd/GoMap. I think some of the participants accidentally
uploaded the sample edits that they've made.
Apologies for the problematic edits. Rest assured that we will be
monitoring their edits.
Thanks,
Feye
