Hi, the DWG has removed a couple of un-discussed imports of landuse and waterways near Pereiras, performed by users PC10, opengislab, and LADAMAFRIA. Here's a screenshot of the landuse
http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/pereiras.png The imports all had bad tagging and bad data quality (the landuse was "blocky" as if automatically traced from a low resolution map, the streams were intersecting already existing waterway data, and nothing bore any resemblance to available aerial imagery). In their changeset comments the users sometimes claimed this was some sort of community project and asked that their data be left untouched which of course is not a suitable approach for OSM. Sometimes it was also claimed that the data had been somehow auto-generated from SRTM. Example changesets with discussion: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52370849 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52370840 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52370776 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52245612 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52244523 User block messages: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/1484 https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/1492 I don't know anything about who makes these edits. In one comment they talk about "remote sensing", perhaps there's some sort of university department in the vicinity that is responsible or some other organisation that runs these "projects". Anyway, there seems to be a massive misunderstanding about how OSM works. I have suggested to them to discuss the matter on this (talk-co) mailing list, maybe somebody shows up some day and you can discuss the matter with them.
