Stephan, I can see you are correct that user "4719341" created thousands of roads which are incorrectly tagged tertiary. Looking at the aerial, almost all of them should be correctly tagged "unclassified" or "track"; very few are actual tertiaries. They did this across almost the entire Magway Region (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5996479/)
Of course the best thing would be to try to contact the user and get them to fix their own tags (and of course, any future roads that they make). If that does not prove possible or they are unwilling, then a possible answer to "how can this be repaired", is: 1. Load the whole Magway region into JOSM. 2. Find their work using a search (type:way user:4719341 highway:tertiary) (I did this, and found around 17,000 results) 3. Mass-change those ways to unclassified. 4. In a subsequent manual pass, correct the tagging to track (perhaps 30% of their work) and actual tertiary (perhaps 2%). That way, only a minority of the roads would have to be manually changed, because unclassified is correct for the majority. Naturally, we should wait to hear from the user first. -Ben _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
