It is a tricky one in that if you can't tell how they interact with OSM you don't know whether the person is being wilful or not. I always try and remember that people are not always very experienced in computing and what may be obvious, such as checking messages, may not be. Who knows what he sees if he does check his inbox? So even with a long term track record, unless someone has had feedback it is hard to tell whether they ever got the message and why they may not be in contact.On Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:57:23 +0100 Ian Spencer <ianmspen...@gmail.com> wrote:Hello Ian,suggested, there are no sources quoted on the ways typically, and a very high number of ways simply do not join although keepright spots that they are very close.I made such errors when I started mapping. Fortunately, another mapper (local to me) saw things going on in my area and contacted me, suggesting I might like to use tools such as the keepright web site to show me where my mistakes (we|a)re. Until he contacted me, I was blissfully unaware of any issues. Viewing my mapping in keepright, I was amazed at how many things I'd done wrong. I've since spent time correcting most of them. A few still exist, because I've not been able to get to some of the place I mapped to check exact details about junctions, particularly where roads cross waterways, to give them the proper tag(s). When I get enough round tuits, I'll be there, of course. Finally, it strikes me as odd that some sort of checking isn't done at mapping time (I use Potlatch, ATM) to help eradicate some of the errors. I do wonder if there is a way for the admins at OSM to do something to his account to ensure that he does read recent messages? Funnily enough, when I went back to keepright over my main area of mapping this week, I was quite taken aback by how many mistakes I'd made and not spotted. Spenny |
