+1 to Richard's suggestion odbl=clean
Just a tiny little clarification - this isn't something I've
dreamed up,
it's a real live tag with 9,000 occurrences in the database
already, and
which is being used by status visualisations such as OSM
Inspector. :)
Yes, the trouble is when Frederik pointed this out and referred to
the page, it says it is for cases where the suspect edit has been
wiped out, not simply verified from other sources. How can you
change the name from itself to itself and actually have changed
anything?
If odbl=clean is OK for this then that's great, but I am troubled
that I may go to a lot of trouble to deal with these and then find
they get removed anyway. The lack of clear direction is very
frustrating (as is the apparent need to do more work than
necessary). It would be so much easier if we knew for sure what
the rules actually are.
That is pretty much my point also. I will do the necessary work when
there is a stable and reasonable description of what that work is and
is not and I have confidence that the description is stable.
Hearing that there is disagreement on what the (as yet undocumented)
odbl=clean tag means and how it should be used doesn't excite me to do
the work yet! To help the process along I have created an simple
article for odbl=clean here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:odbl%3Dclean
Thanks, I can use that to publicise it. So, we need to a bandwagon and
better closure on when/how to use. On the technical side I see it
appearing in OSMI graphs at http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/munin.html so
assume we are cool on writing a technical rule for it and that in the
rebuild it is a simple matter of just ignoring the specific
node/way/relation ... I'd feel better with more informed technical
corroboration though, I am out of my depth here.
