Dear Paul thank you very much for taking care of this. There was some discussion in Talk-BR on how to revert these old contributions without breaking too many things, but I am afraid we arrived at no better solution than the one you are suggesting.
Unfortunately, I can not offer to help on this, I have absolutely no idea how to perform a redaction. Sadly, we are stumbling almost on a daily basis on data that might have been copied from Google in one way or another. One user told me he did not knew this was not allowed. Curiously, this user had collected the data on his own, being a local resident, but he decided to use the same exact wording for a highway as used by Google thinking that he was sticking to some sort of standard. I told him no to, but clearly there seems to be a major communication problem here. Any ideas on how we could prevent this to happen *before* people enter the data into the map? again, many thanks for your help and best wishes Gerald On 6 October 2013 04:48, Paul Norman <penor...@mac.com> wrote: > Awhile back the DWG had complaints of Eduardo Francis Batista using Google > Earth aerial imagery to generate OSM data.
