The geometry. These geometries: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/544856564 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/119562181 are completely non-verifiable. They add data but they does not add any substantial information about the verifiable geographic reality to the database that could not be represented with a single node. With these geometries: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/372986131 https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2824513 a large portion of the geometry and as a result the derived way_area are completely non-verifiable. Also here a properly placed node would together with the coastline transport all the verifiable information about the geographic reality there is. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
