It'd be great if someone a bit nearer than me could help - or at least "weed" their edits afterwards with a bit of local knowledge. I'm not local to NY, but those 'edits' look to be the result that can occur if a mapper is not careful when they drag the map background within the iD. iD reuses the left mouse button for two, differing, functions. 1) Drag OSM data elements to new locations 2) Drag the map background around to bring a new area into view. In dense areas (and NYC is certainly a dense area) it is *very* easy with iD's mouse button mapping to accidentally grab a node or way and move it unexpectedly when one really wants to shift the map viewport. For mappers that are paying attention, they will immediately undo and try the viewport drag again. Your examples look to be the result of a mapper not noticing that their mouse drag just moved OSM data around and not undoing the accidental change. So some small bit of cause here lies with iD and the less than great UI of mapping two very different functions onto the same mouse button such that it is *much* too easy to perform the wrong operation. JSOM maps these two functions to two different mouse buttons (left for OSM data movement, right button for "drag map viewport") so it is not possible to accidentally drag OSM data when a viewport drag is desired (other than by physically pressing the wrong mouse button). ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

[Talk-us] Anyone feel like helping another mapper in New York?
Hello, Over the last couple of months there have been edits by a new mapper in New York who seems to like changing things but hasn't quite got the hang of what they're doing yet. Some of the smaller edits seem plausible, but they seem to be doing a lot of "node drags and merges" which results in some very non-grid-pattern street layouts. Comments can be seen at http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=8356718 . I've sent them a couple of "messages that they have to read before continuing to edit" as DWG block messages so they'll definitely have seen that there are problems, but they haven't been able to translate that into them not making the same mistakes again. It's probably just a schoolkid and It's not necessarily outright vandalism (it has none of the messages to teachers or priapic shapes that schoolkid vandalism often contains). My comments haven't worked; maybe someone else could have a go? I'd be grateful for any suggestions where to go from here...
