I meant that a verification system does exist in Wikipedia and they now require references on all statements to keep up the quality of the articles which is sane IMO. We have no such system. >OSM would benefit from better verification >tools and so on but insult-laden post >filed with misunderstandings will not >lead towards them. Sorry if it came across as harsh, I get your point and will try to moderate my criticism a little more. I love OSM and have contributed a lot over the years and recommend it to everyone I meet who uses maps. I just sent a follow up email with a suggestion for implementing such a verification system. I still believe we have data with bad quality in many places (in Sweden). I have to fix stuff often when I visit new places apart from all the stuff we are missing. We are basically trying to keep up with an ever changing surrounding without a good way to indicate our data quality. We can do better, but we need a new system that make it easy for contributors to verify our precious data (see my previous email).
