Dear Nathan, I've accidentally come across some of your imports in the Fresno area and found that they had many problems - just the usual import stuff really, over-noding, mapping individual building plots as residential areas, over-tagging, landuse areas matching neither the aerial imagery nor the existing road grid which would have been avoided by the suggested manual inspection, and so on.
This is just a random example - the whole area looks like this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/36.7379/-120.1027 I really wonder how anyone, ever, will want to make edits in places "mapped" like this - I think you have had similar feedback for other things you've done over the past (California FMMP residential discussion & others). In an older Email you wrote of your work that "California is no longer a barren wilderness but has blossomed into a flower full of color and life" - frankly what jumps at me from these map pages is certainly not "life"! But I know that I'm probably on an extreme side of the spectrum here and there will be others who like that kind of colour map, and hence I don't want to discuss how these existing imports can be fixed or whether they should be removed altogether - that's for another time maybe. But I would like to ask you to discuss every single future import that you make *before* you make it, just like everyone else is expected to. Just because you have done many imports in the past doesn't mean that rules don't apply to you - and you don't show any signs of stopping. So please, if you must continue to import data, at least do it using the usual process. Thank you Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
