All these edits are bogus and > many involve the deletion of features. The edits seem to be seriously incompetent, rather than actually bogus, or malicious. They seem to be an attempt to micro-map against Bing without understanding what they are doing. Looking at changeset 17769888, what they are doing is trying to plot individual plots, buildings and the actual carriageway and pavement boundaries, but without providing any tags and without closing areas. At a guess, they are doing a presentational markup in JOSM, possibly in wire frame mode, and don't realise you need to double trace shared edges, and that you must map carriageways and sidewalks as areas, if you are going to micro-map them to this level. (I'd also argue that the level of micro-mapping of the pavement and carriageway is excessive and will only clutter the map, even if done properly.) It's not clear why they wouldn't set attributes, unless they intend to come back later. The building and plot additions are repairable. I would, personally, want the road/pavement changes backed out. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
