Node hoarders and node police mappers hurt the project the most. Regardless if you are right or wrong, you were changing data right in UAN51's area of interest. Try not to take the reversions personally. Develop a detached sense from your work and what other's do with it. The best way to handle it is just let it go. It was just a few tags. The situation is escalating now that another mapper is jumping into the question. Moreover, the best thing that you can do right now is make at least one small changeset a day in your normal area of interest. That will get you over the sting that you might feel right now. I am sure there are plenty of items to add to the map in the metro Houston area.

Re: [Talk-us] Edit war after MapRoulette motorway downgrading task
Clay- I'm leaving a comment on the first changeset (57754161) asking for an explanation. Not only do I think you were right on what you were doing (weird motorway upgrades in Texas have been a project for me lately), but I agree that this wasn't the best way to handle this. I've copied everyone else in the mailing list so we don't have multiple people messaging at the same time. Thanks!

[Talk-us] mechanical edit of 'address' tags in New York
Another proposed mechanical edit, splitting 'address' tags in New York. The tags are mostly from an import of libraries. Uses the same code as the MA splitting: https://github.com/maxerickson/massadd There's a lot less of them, only 290: https://gist.github.com/maxerickson/3e5d6cb9f5b5306b8d15901b8fb351b1 Only objects where the "address" tag is correctly split and there are no conflicts with existing tags would be altered by the edit. If the address tag has a po box in it, it is stored in the contact:pobox tag, which I guess can be controversial.

[Talk-us] Edit war after MapRoulette motorway downgrading task
There is a MapRoulette task out for downgrading short sections of highways that had been mistakenly upgraded to motorways. I had been contributing to this task, and then today I got a foul message from a local contributor. They subsequently went through my recent edits and undid them, calling them "vandalism" in the changeset comments. The changesets in question: 57754161 57754261 57754283 57754364 57754463 57754500 57754519 57754581 57754609 57754659 57754778 57754847 I'm... shocked. This is a really confrontational way of addressing things, and it really doesn't make me feel good contributing here. I'm just gonna take a break from editing for a bit. I don't want to add fuel to the fire by reverting the edits. What's the best way to address this? -Clay ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
