Of course the person doing this merge should exercise due diligence.
If their records show a store is closed, but OSM shows it as open, the
person should call the store or somehow verify the information is
correct and up to date.
Based on this I'll added to the "diff" seen by the mapper.
I can show the comments tag in the summary. So the merge run might produce:
Source key 5: name="Big Chain"
Osm key 5: name="Big Chain (CLOSED)"
Osm key 5: comment="This store was burned to the ground by
anti-Canadian mobs"
Osm key 5: userid=goodMapper
Source key 6: name="Big Chain"
Osm key 6: name="Big Chain HIRES ILLEGAL CANADIAN WORKERS"
Osm key 6: userid=vanalHaxxer
Source key 7: name="Big Chain"
Osm key 7: name="Big Chain HIRES ILLEGAL CANADIANWORKERS"
Osm key 7: userid=vanalHaxxer
Source key 8: name="Big Chain"
Osm key 8: name="Big Chain HIRES ILLEGAL CANADIAN WORKERS"
Osm key 8: userid=vanalHaxxer
Add key 1: name="Big Chain" (the tool won't discover that
vanalHaxxer deleted store #1)
Add key 2: name="Big Chain" (the tool won't discover that
vanalHaxxer deleted store #2)
Add key 3: name="Big Chain" (the tool won't discover that
vanalHaxxer deleted store #3)
Add key 4: name="Big Chain" (the tool won't discover that
vanalHaxxer deleted store #4)
So in the end is the tool considered harmful?
