This mapper just registered today. Even though he managed to 'destroy' some data during his first attempts at editing the map, I believe our first priority should be to welcome him in our midst. The second step is show him the light and explain what JOSM is and how it's far superior to iD, LOL.

For a first time user, his edit wasn't actually _that_ bad. The shape of the buildings was far better than mine, so I kept that. We have to seize the opportunity on the OpenData conference in Namur to get fresh blood in and warn about ID editor, promoting JOSM. I only used the reverter plugin

It's quite likely he doesn't know what a multipolygon is. iD creates those for the user when they merge areas. That merging is meant to make holes in areas. So I guess he merges some form with another form, and iD creates a multipolygon without the user knowing it. The realigning of course is
