Re: [Talk-us] Proposal to Remove Two Duplicate Route Relations in Texas

2014-01-08 Thread James Mast



And now that I've looked into this more, Cam4rd98 didn't cause any of the 
problems here this time.

So, this should have been just brought to the group as how to fix it as a whole 
and not call out any specific user.  The last editor isn't always the person 
who caused the problems.  You should always take a look at the entire history 
of a relation/way/node to figure out who might need to be contacted to help 
resolve something.

He is still an active mapper.  He's done over 20 edits in the last 17 days.

I don't think Cam4rd98 is still an active mapper.

If you are absolutely, positively sure they are duplicates, I say go
ahead and prune.

Cam4rd98 is an interesting character, I'll say that. He's new and 
enthusiastic about mapping, but doesn't quite understand the 
conventions of OSM. I haven't had to talk to him recently, but 
previously he's been unresponsive to messages.


In this case, I'd say send him a message and delete the relation. If 
he notices it gone, maybe he'll read his inbox for once.


I concur with these Cam4rd98 characterizations as I have done similar 
coming to these conclusions.


OSM is a community.  This includes communication amongst its members. 
Frequently, we reach consensus.  We don't do that in a communications 
vacuum.  Reverting changesets by knowledgeable and experienced 
contributors after shouting into the chasm of OSM citizenship is good 
work, especially as it is watched and supported by wider consensus. 
We are building an excellent working map here.


Let us well communicate intention.  OSM doesn't work when it is 
considered a solo map, so we must listen.  Consensus is essential, 
though only occasionally easy.

My bad, I could have worded that better. I shouldn't let personal
grievances spill into public discussion. Thanks for keeping the mailing

Hi folks,

Please be careful when talking about a specific person. I realize it's
relatively pertinent to the discussion, but lets not make it any more
personal here on the mailing list.

Thanks,
