Someone else (not SomeoneElse... hell this is confusing) has pointed me, off-list, to this: http://mapbox.com/blog/improved-british-rail-icons/ which obviously looks cool. I guess this is probably the source of the bulk edits. Without wanting to copy out the Mechanical Edits Policy word-for-word, I'd strongly reiterate the need (and, besides that, desirability) of consultation before making big changes like this. "With great power comes great responsibility" and all that. Most importantly, local insight gives better answers - that is, after all, the USP of OSM. The RoW tagging thread running at the moment on talk-gb is an excellent example of how it should work: something that might seem simple from afar actually turns out to be a bit more nuanced, but by giving careful consideration to the nuances, we're making what is hands-down the best map of the world. I hope we can have a similarly useful conversation about the stations too. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Bulk-railway-station-changes-tp5708989p5708995.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
