I too disagree with intentionally ignoring outdated information. However, we cannot know from our armchairs whether a store is disused but still signed, disused with all signage removed, demolished, or replaced by another business. Because if this we cannot fix the map merely by deleting the relevant shops. That is replacing a blatant errors in the map with less obvious ones.
So I'd support a mechanical edit adding fixme tags, but not mass deletion Kind regards, Adam On Sat, 5 May 2018, 12:00 Rob Nickerson, <rob.j.nicker...@gmail.com> wrote: > And for the balance: I disagree with Frederik on this one. > > If we know the map is wrong we should fix it.
