Steady on. Nobody says you should repeat in the comment what is already clear from the changes made. That would be redundant and pointless. Only the 'why' not the 'what' needs to be stated. That normally shouldn't be more than one sentence. The only times I've needed to give a long-winded explanation is when correcting existing data which I believe is wrong - in that case you ought to cite your sources and explain why the new version is correct, otherwise we could get into edit wars, which would waste a lot more time than writing a changeset comment. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
