Indeed, but as we've seen in lots of places users sometimes blindly follow "suggestions" without engaging their brains.
As an example, Osmose contains very clear information that users should not blindly obey it (see https://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/#zoom=0&lat=39.9&lon=-74.6 and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmose ) yet there are still many complaints about people using Osmose for "fixing" stuff in OSM that isn't actually broken.
I can't really think what the Osmose people (in this example) could do to make people NOT blindly make changes in this way, and it's really useful to the project to have something suggesting what might (but might not) be a problem**.
Perhaps what needs to happen is for people who actually do go outside and map stuff to push back more forthrightly and more often, when we know that something is wrong, and even when it "just looks a bit iffy".
Best Regards, Andy ** for the avoidance of any doubt I'm not complaining about Osmose here! _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
