Re: [Talk-GB] Marks Sparks...

[Will Phillips]

From a quick look, there seems to be a lot wrong with osmmaker's edits. 
It appears he has indiscriminately selected all objects in the world 
tagged with 'Marks and Spencer' (and variant spellings) and then added a 
load of tags. No checks seem to have been done to confirm whether the 
things he's changing are real 'Marks and Spencer' stores. This has led 
to tags like 'brand' and 'website' being wrongly added to things like 
bus stops, public transport stop areas and car parks. His earlier edits 
also wrongly changed an MS distribution warehouse.


I think consultation before making mass changes is essential. 
Undiscussed edits of this sort often degrade the data and should not be 
tolerated.


Regards,
Will

Hi

So, apart from the non discussion being supposedly /wrong/. What are 
the errors in osmmaker's edits?


If they'd been done individually (not that hard) would people kicked 
up a fuss?


I'm not convinced 33 entity amendments can be described as a mass edit

Yes, I accept that was a little too strong.

In this case, an earlier version of the edit had already been reverted 
by a member of the Data Working Group, and I was a little frustrated to 
see it had been put back without addressing the issues raised the first 
time.
