Hey Neil, I don't know which nodes you are talking about, but of the ones I'm looking at (where "name" != name from new NaPTAN data using "naptan:AtcoCode"). The vast majority haven't been updated in 10 years, since the NaPTAN import, or one edit where "naptan:verified" was changed to yes.
I am not doing automatic, or blind edits. It would have been helpful if when you changed names from NaPTAN import to surveyed you used "not:name", but that doesn't matter. When I make the edits I can look at the history of the node, and if a mapper has changed the name semi recently I will not change it but rather add a "fixme" describing the issue.
