But in fact, the buildings were simply slightly moved to realign to DigitalGlobe imagery (not Bing). And no correction of geometry was made, even where too many and unsquared angles to represent a rectangular building. Also Tags are systematically added: "mapper"="mspray4" "source"="Akros"
Pierre Hi, the "mspray" accounts were blocked in July 2019 for problematic edits and failing to document properly. The project leader has contacted DWG on 15 May 2020 asking what needs to be done to unblock the accounts, and was informed by us that: > the "mspray" users have only been blocked until they read the block > message; the accounts can be used again now.

If you feel they are disregarding that message, we are happy to block them again.
