I'll save you the trouble of searching the archives. It was 'staehler'. I found his work in Australia, which was copied, and wrong. I asked him, he admitted it and agreed to remove it. Months later I found more of his work elsewhere in Australia, again flagrantly wrong, because I was doing survey work on the ground. He then tried to lay the blame on others for not having reverted his work for him (Frederick Ramm, actually). Australian mappers - mostly Rosscoe, carefully unpicked his Australian "work". When I have looked through staehler changesets I see that he has "mapped" in many continents. So for procedural fairness, all of his work should go. His name is public on these lists, with my name pointing him out as copying, and copying from Google, as that was the only place with those wrong street names. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
