Thanks Phil, speaking for myself, I am very happy for you to take the
lead. The reason I suggest writing aaronsta a letter is that the DWG
would prefer us to exhaust all avenues of engagement before calling
them in.
I don't think we (the OSM community) have been particularly good at
telling him how he has been going.
We tell him that he is a "Great Mapper (Regularly Active)"
And that he is #14 in Australia. Hdyc
Any criticism he ignores as a few disgruntled people, he gets no
feedback from the community as a whole.
I have contacted Pascal Neis about hdyc. I think he rejigged hdyc a
few months ago to an emphasis on quality not quantity, maybe it could
go further.
Tony
I am happy to send an email to DWG with an overview of concerns.
Maybe other folks can gather a listing of any desired changesets for
reversion and if all or just some wiki edits should be reverted.

There is also that he seems to be deleting all source tags on any
loaded objects with many of his changesets.
I wrote a changeset comment on one of the changesets that do that,
to which he has simply not replied. (My changeset comments about
that and the PBN have been made at the same time, he replied to the
later, not the former).
This is exactly the behaviour that earned him a block and a mass
revert of scores of changesets 5 years ago. (See my link to the
talk-au archive with posts about that earlier in this discussion).

Yes, he has made big changes to the documentation and the map. The
same 2 issues apply to both, some of the changes are contrary to
community expectations and changes of such scale should be made
after consultation. I believe he is acting in good faith but his
balance between contribution and consultation is badly out.
The issue for us is to explain to him what the expectations are for
consultation without alienating him.

The other thing that occurs to me about this discussion is that
aaronsta is not actually subscribed to this list ââ¬â does anyone
know? I might leave a comment on the changeset instead...
Not having a go at you blokes interested in the bike routes :-), but
the whole conversation started because Aaronsta made massive changes
to how bikeways etc are written up on the Guidelines!
I don't know about anywhere else, but he has changed them to say that
cycling on footpaths is illegal in Qld, which is totally wrong!
Thanks
Graeme
