I've updated the wiki page. The two changesets I have taken action on* are vandalism, and I'd be happy to stand up and explain myself. The other two changesets contain literally hundreds of little node moves of coastlines and maritime admin boundaries. Since I can't tell whether they are vandalism or improvements, I'm going to leave my suspicions to one side and wait for any compelling evidence before I take action. Still, this guy needs banning IMHO, and I'm writing to the DWG to say so. Even though I know they know about it. Cheers, Andy * I'm going to avoid calling it "reverting", since it's not really, it's just hopefully patching it up a bit. YMMV etc. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
