There is another wikipedia effect, very prominent in the German wikipedia: over-regulation, deleting useful edits because some admin thinks it's not relevant enough, no matter how well he knows that field of knowledge. In the real OSM world I haven't seen much garbage. There are always newbies who don't know the established tags, and there are a few controversial tags or how to handle a complex multipolygon, but overall my observation is that the map is already very good. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
