Hi David,
It does seem that most of your work will survive.
Those maxspeed edits done by bots (under the userid of
JohnSmith or Rosscoe) will disappear without harm in April.
A lot of them are incorrect so the accuracy of the OSM data
will actually improve a bit.
I have never run any maxspeed bot. In fact I actively started changing
them manually to source:maxspeed which is what they should have been in
the first place and where they were incorrect and I could apply correct
data (from nearmap or survey) then I've changed that.
I'm still manually changing maxspeed:source to source:maxspeed when ever
I load a section of data into josm along with several other common
errors like "junction=roundabout oneway=yes" but you'll never see it in osm.
I also disagreed with what John did with this bot although I can see his
logic in originally doing it and asked him via this list to re-run it so
that it was source:maxspeed but he did not complete this.
However some decliner edits will affect your work.
If you look at the intersection of Leichardt Avenue
and Amity Drive. It seems that you mapped this area well,
in 2007. Then in 2009 the user JohnSmith and also Rosscoe have
made minor improvements and "tweaks". This has, in a lot of
cases ended up with them being version1 "owners" of the roads
you mapped.
Impossible for either to be version one owners if we edited existing
data. It could only be for new information added.
Cheers
Ross
