Do the website=* and wikipedia=* tags violate this rule? Using that logic, source=* from aerial imagery, would need to be removed, although if wikipedia starts linking to OSM objects do we need to also link to wikipedia objects? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
