The Capital District of NY is in pretty good shape and i cleaned up the
things that were going to be the worst problems already.

i know Martijn has a bunch of issues out in the SLC area, so i'm
volunteering to take assignments from him to do cleanups out there.

i suggest more of us should assess our areas and then either seek
help or offer to help.

Thanks. I'm asking for help on the main infrastructure in particular.
I cleaned up most of I-80 but stretches of I-215 and I-15 are still
tainted. Also some primary and secondary roads, but unless you have
local knowledge I'd rather people not touch those, as I see it as an
opportunity to improve them in other ways too.

Also, some of the railroads are tainted, I'd love some help with that.

In general, I'd advise to look at the BADMAP layer of Cleanmap. (Yay
we can do permalinks now!)
http://cleanmap.poole.ch/?zoom=7&lat=34.2972&lon=-82.53687&layers=00B
As you can see, the situation for highways / interstates is
particularly bad in SC / GA. I'd say that is a priority if you want to
help out.

I'm doing this in the Chicago region now. I have stumbled onto one really 
odd changeset, though, and could use some assistance; it appears the 
original creator has deleted their OSM account:

http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=3869570
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/143258

Am I reading the history correctly? What do we do in thic case?

i will start looking at I 15 from the junction with US 89 (between Ogden
and SLC) working south, and will also look at the RR tracks that run 
parallel

to I 15.

I think this is an anonymous user. This was an option early in OSM
history that was done away with a while ago. They can still agree...
but obviously we have no way of contacting them so chances are they
will stay undecided. Users are never fully deleted. The closest thing
is when the user name is changed to user_x

Not correct; anonymous users are know to OSM with their e-mail address 
and user name, it's just that these details are never revealed through 
the API.

 I'm still checking the PD option for most of one of the SC decliner's 
work - I should hear back this weekend.

Right, which is exactly what is happening in this case, isn't it? User
name is simply not revealed to the deep history viewer or in the
/browse pages on osm.org. I was just saying that OSM used to allow
users to go anonymous with a checkbox but that option is no longer
available. It is however still honored for users who selected it back
when it was available.

A sorry. I thought that when you said "we have no way of contacting 
them" you meant "we the project", which would have been wrong - in fact 
these people *have* all been contacted, most of them twice I believe -, 
but if you say "we the API users" then yes, we have no way of contacting 
them.
