The Data Working Group exists in order to give mappers a chance to escalate concerns about other mappers' edits that can't be resolved through the usual channels of communication - private messages, changeset discussions, the mailing lists or forums according to regional community preference. This would be a familiar looking sort of case for the DWG. A member of the DWG will sometimes revert changes as a result of a decision in a case, but there's nothing special about that act of reversion. You should feel as free to revert as any mapper; but don't risk your peace of mind if that looks likely to trigger an edit war in the map, which can't help. There is a Mechanical Edit Policy to do with these kind of systematic changes, and anyone has grounds to revert changes that don't follow the code of conduct: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy It sounds like a forum discussion of the topic is the next step though, - Jo _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
