Hello,

For deleted nodes from Yemen in (https://openstreetmap.org/changeset/119556694)
Andy Townsend in 
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/imports/2023-February/007170.html 
talk about "complaint that this import was of particularly poor quality." And 
give us a link to 6 comment of various nodes but there aren't one of them in 
Yemen and one in Saudi Arabia but user Abdullah Abdulrhman commented that the 
node is right.

I agree that many of nodes imported from GNS by Metehyi are in wrong location 
because that some GNS sources are not accurate. But we are talking about 
deleting  14,822 nodes  in Yemen changeset/119556694/119559125/119563423 the 
summary of these nodes is:

count    code                     desg explain
9718      PPL                       Populated Places 5185 of them are listed in 
Yemen census 2004
2629      WAD                    Wadis
658        MT                       mountains
150        HLL                       Hills
435        TRB                      Tribes
358        AREA                Areas
262        WLL                 Water Wills
121        PASS                     Pass between mountains
491                                     OTHERS

68% of all deleted nodes as populated places. This node type is usually 
important and take attention from  the users of the map if it has wrong 
location. Stability of location of these nodes in the map for more than 10 
years means one of two things:


  *   The location is true . and these are the most
  *   The location is wrong but the node is of minimum importance. So no one 
correct it or send note about it.
Deleting all these 14,822  nodes for very little minimum importance nodes that 
have wrong location is Wrong decision from DWG.
And when I imported new nodes from GNS I revised the work of user Metehyi and 
corrected some tagging mistakes. I noticed some locations are moved from the 
location in GNS but I assumed Metehyi corrected some node by imagery.
