An import that tagged its object with fixmes is arguably a bad quality import. But mass-removing that import's fixmes (assuming those fixmes carry usefull info) degrades data quality further. Two bads don't make a good. If you're talking about fixmes that don't carry usefull info, then it doesn't matter wether they were created by imports or not. > For all the other manually entered fixme, a lot of care and discussion > should be performed before attempting anything automatically. > Even the rather useless "fixme=yes" should be handeled with care.

You'd spend more time fixing your script's heuristics than you'd spend manually doing the fixes. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
