Largely separate from the wiki/tag debate about how America should implement Brit-centric tags (that defy common sense here), the above portion of the exchange is also important. Arm-chair mappers should give some leeway to the local on-the-ground mappers. Even when they're "objectively wrong" *(according to some Brit-centric wiki tag entry). NE2 was "objectively wrong" *^ _and_ /unilaterally/ /bulk-editing/ from the /armchair/. If one of us coastal armchair mappers unilaterally bulk-edits Richie's local roads, we'd have three out of four NE2-likeness points on us. There is plenty of wrong to fix without declaring edit-war on Richie's roads. Let's give the local mapper the benefit of the doubt in the DB at least until the Wiki-war is finished. (And even then, cut the local some slack.) How do we tell if the Way (or Relation, Node) in question has been Edited by a local? You've all got your area(s) of interest in your osm.org/user/ profile, and may even leave diary entries or blog entries on OSM? If we click through the users on the edit history, we'll see if their changesets are spanning the continent or primarily local interest very quickly, even if the profile description isn't set. -- Bill Ricker bill.n1...@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
