Thanks all for your reactions. I also think that the most changes made to wiki are made in good faith and with good intentions and that is to improve OSM. This even goes for Ulamm. He also wants to improve OSM but it is just the way he does this that gets me irritated. Most of us (I guess) do this after some sort of agreement in a part of the community. The impression I get from Ulamm is that he is so convinced of his own opinion that he sees this is a justification to changes all wiki's that claim differently. When MasiMaster and I were convinced OSM needed a tag like use_sidepath we followed the proposal proces. Time consuming indeed but I think with a better result then just changing wiki pages and upsetting people that did not understand why. It kind of surprises me that Ulamm has something to do with the soft_lane proposal.
The other thing with the way Ulamm acts is that I now am a lot more sceptical towards OSM wiki pages. I don't know that many people that do editing but if I see his name as one of the editors then it makes me reserved.On top of that it is time consuming. Call me naive but I usually believe wiki pages (unless of coarse I read something that conflicts with my common sense ;-) ) Checking credibility of wiki pages is not really my hobby. I'd rather do some mapping. @ Hubert. Not sure which pages you refer to. I thought it was this <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Tag:highway%3Dcycleway>one but you do not seem the person that changed it.
