I agree. IMHO extensive, (semi-)automated changes should be limited *at least* to tags that have been clearly made in error (e.g. spelling mistakes) and never to tags that could be reasonably expected to have been intended by the original author to have a different meaning. Tags that are not VERY clearly defined in the wiki (as a guide) should be left alone. Given that source=survey and source=GPS are *both not defined* on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source, these should have been left alone. A similar thing happened to me when a shop I tagged as shop=photography (I meant, they *take* photos, etc.) was changed to shop=photo (which I would have taken to mean, they *develop* photos, etc.): http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/488744910/history > especially as there is so far no agreement on what "source=survey" > actually means, whereas "source=GPS" is pretty obvious. The debate re: source=survey vs. source=GPS is a separate issue, and I have no comment on it right now. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
