Hi dear imports mailinglist. I am a member of the Norwegian OSM mailing list ([email protected] <[email protected]>), and we have beedn discussing the imports done by this user lately.
We find that the quality of the import is lacking in many ways. Some examples are: - duplicates, or even triplets of ways, both from the imports alone and from the imports and previous manually added data - some of the imported data is old and is not representing real world conditions - highway=* start and ends in "mid air" without being connected to anything. - waterway=* are all imported as stream, and existing river might have been downgraded to stream. These imports have not been discussed in our national mailing list as i see that the import guidelines state. Now i am wondering if this user has come here and asked if these imports are ok? I would assume that's not the case because of the low quality of the import, but i think i need to ask. And another question is how to precede with the problems this import has created. Perhaps the best would be to delete everything done by this user? I have read this (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Handling_bad_imports) page regarding bad imports, but i ask here first before i go to the data working group. Please excuse any typos or bad english in the text. :) -- Best regards Hans Olav Skogstad _______________________________________________ kart mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/kart
