Putting notes on every object "armcahir mappers: keep away" is just as redundant and less informative than a source tag. I don't like all those source tags, but it addresses a real problem. > > 2014-06-30 18:17 GMT-03:00 Tod Fitch <t...@fitchdesign.com>: > > > At least in JOSM if you do a ctrl-h on a selected object it shows you the Well, I am a regular user of JOSM and I didn't know that. It would be nice if sometime I found time to explore all the corners of JOSM, but then I doubt that I would ever have time for mapping! More to the point, (some) armchair mappers don't know/bother/use other editors and are busy so don't have time to go looking. I fully agreed that that all those source tags are ugly and redundant: that it why I switched to changeset source tags. But then I suffered and had to switch back. In passing, many armchair mappers seem to use OSopenview etc and believe it is always correct. If I used openview regularly, I could add not-tags, but I don't and it would take too much time to check everything. ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
