[Talk-GB] Vandalism changeset

2012-03-14 Thread Oliver O'Brien
Hi 

This appears to be a vandalism changeset: 10947970
Details: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/10947970

It would be great if there was a report obvious vandalism button on Changeset 
information pages.
I think we are being too nice if we assume that edits like this might be 
someone new that doesn't realise they aren't in a sandbox, especially when they 
go through the trouble of pressing the save button and adding a (blank) comment.

Incidentally I spotted this in ITOWorld's new VMD comparison tool.

Regards
Oliver

Or perhaps it could be the sort of thing you get by trying to pan the
map while having a way selected, I've seen that before.

Yeah, adding: bridge=yes, foot=no, layer=5, oneway=-1 and surface=grass, to a 
road happens to me all the time ;)

I think you're being far too hasty with the cry of vandalism -
people make mistakes, people do things unwittingly. Adding a variety
of tags using what appears to be the the potlatch2 presets is hardly
conclusive proof of deliberate intent.

We've likely got many thousands of contributors who have made mistakes
during their edits. If everyone cries vandalism every time someone
messes up a route relation...

Cheers,
Andy

Sorry, didn't look closely enough!  I just saw the odd-shaped road.

Maybe an abandon changes button? At the moment you have to hit undo (which
might be complicated) or click on View and face down the
do-you-really-want-to-leave-this-page dialog.
