Ross, that's not my understanding of the situation at all..... "On 25 August 2010 14:40, Ross Scanlon <info at 4x4falcon.com> wrote: > John are you going to do this?" JohnSmith replied "I'm stuck on 3G atm, I may not be able to get to it for a week or more depending on what happens until I get access to a DSL connection again." JohnSmith's last edit before lockout was on June 19th 2011 Therefore I believe that JohnSmith had no intention of fixing these errors in OSM. In fact it would not matter if he did so anyway. By applying his edits over probably hundreds of thousands of ways and then refusing to relicence these edits he has made the task of making the OSM data compliant quite tricky. It now relies on the DWG removing JohnSmith's maxspeed bot edits without destroying other mappers subsequent efforts. In the meantime it would be a huge advantage if potlatch or some other OSM viewer could just ignore all maxspeed edits in the process of determining which ways need to be remapped. Nick
