the bing imagery is from 2016, but i live where i map. From: Joseph Eisenberg Sent: Thursday, July 4, 2019 10:08 PM To: Yves Cc: osm Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Reordering and rewriting Good Practice wiki page I've finished the new detailed page "Keep the History"
And so I've removed the two paragraphs about specific JOSM plugins and a way to move a node to a new area from the Good_practice page - they are on the new page which is linked https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Keep_the_history I would also like to move "Check the history of important objects" to the new page, since I think it is redundant on Good practice where it's mentioned in "Do not trace from outdated imagery" But I'm still waiting to hear back from the original author who added this section at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Good_practice#Section:_.22Check_the_history_of_important_objects.22 : Joseph On 7/4/19, Joseph Eisenberg < joseph.eisenb...@gmail.com > wrote: > As mentioned, I plan to significantly shorten the "Keep the history" > section, with a link to the longer version at > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Keep_the_history instead. > > I would probably support shortening the page even further, but I've > already had several edits reverted by other users who are in favor of > including various sections. > > On 7/4/19, Yves < yve...@mailbox.org > wrote: >> Hmm...
