No, not everybody agrees that all fixme tags from imports are junk tags. Some may be junk. Some may indicate a badly-done import that should have fixed the issue before import. Some are reasonable use of fixme during an import (such as tiger's dual_carriageway). > However people have also pointed out that they are probably > attached to Junk Data.

For some cases it may be true, but there's no sense in drawing a general conclusion from maybes and anecdotes. > This means deleting the tags mechanically won't do anything to solve the > problem of junk data, only make it harder to find for the average > mapper.

Yes, altough I argued earlyer that in some cases just removing fixmes (mechanically or not) is the right thing to do. Just please pretty please stop making blanket statements about all fixme tags. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
