Hi, over the last 2 years, DWG has had a three different complaints about a buggy building import that has been run on and off by the user "annapolissailor". The import was problematic in many ways, most obviously because huge batches of un-used nodes were uploaded and later it was attempted to c

Thanks for bringing this up, Frederik. I reached out to the user in a changeset and a mail thread (links below) and was under the impression that they would fix the problem. Was that really two years ago? https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/41375854 - changeset https://gist.github.com/talllguy

[Talk-us] place=locality on rail junction

I notice around me that the map appears cluttered by a number of 'place=locality' points with alphanumeric names like 'CPF 499' which appear to be the reference numbers of rail junctions. Tellingly, the objects all seem to have been added by user 'NE2', who was well known a few years ago for havin
