[OSM-talk] Edit review: intermittent waters

2012-06-02 Thread LM_1

Because if people are still editing like this, then I don't see the problem that WorstFixer is fixing as actually being fixed. Users of the map will still have to deal with both the format that WorstFixer doesn't like AND the format he does like. Less of the former and more of the latter, but

Hello. I used reply to instead of reply to all in my mail agent. We had a small thread with Thomas. Here is major result we achived. Thomas expressed opinion that not 100% of water=intermittent have other tags, so we have no way count them as water. In my sub-extract of water=intermittent:

Actually, the conclusion, while it involved that, also involved that there are potential other uses (e.g. on river=intermittent; stream=intermittent etc) that need to be checked too, and that this seems like an arbitrary renaming of tags that doesn't gain anything, but may destroy data. Thanks
