Er, no, and kindly don't put words in my mouth like that. The author of Potlatch against allowing newbies to contribute? Well, I suppose it would save me a lot of work. I'm against people who don't know anything about waterways voting down sensible waterway tagging. I'm against people who've never mapped a footpath or bridleway voting on smoothness. I'm against people like me, who don't even know what a baby hatch is, voting on baby hatches. OSM newbie or otherwise has nothing to do with it. Subject knowledge does. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Wiki%3A-chriscf-vandalism-tp21755334p21764657.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
