I haven't looked through /all/ of his edits for Iceland. Currently he has 880 ways and 306 nodes to his name (user=RR8 in the XML) and I haven't gone through all his edits. But what I've looked at has been 100% harmful. He's re-classified highways in a manner that's inconsistent, arbitrary and completely ignores our previously established conventions[1]. Including marking some things that were highway=primary before as highway=trunk and introducing highway=motorway in Iceland (which has no motorways). 1. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Is:Map_Features#Highway _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
