Johnny,
Yes, please correct data. In your case it looks like you've correctly identified tagging that is not consistent with documentation in the wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org). Often people mistakenly mark a task as done (or even validated). It is often nice to contact the mapper who made the 'mistakes' as they could maybe use some help, but any improvement to the data should be welcome. Happy Mapping, =Russ russdeffner on OSM From: Johnny Morbonovsky [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 2:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [HOT] Should I correct bad data? I'm not an experienced mapper. I've only been helping since December, so I'm not sure I should be changing/deleting other people's data. However, I was looking around in task 400, checking out the 'done' squares to see how things should look, and I found a square where someone has tagged all of the house nodes with building=yes, and in another square someone else has tagged the house ways as landuse=yes and included a highway in a relationship called "residential" I'm pretty sure that's not right. Is it OK for me to make changes? Should I contact Severin Menard and let him take care of it? Should I just mind my own business and not worry about other people's data? Thanks Johnny M
