Could you post the code used to generate the changesets? That would be the easiest way for some of us to review your proposed changes. It wouldn’t remove the need to explain it to non-programmers, but it would be much easier for some of us if we could look at the code.
That being said, a few concerns jump out at me - You provide no information on why you are removing the keys that you are - A couple of other people have expressed concern over the message sent by having a mechanical edit from the WorstFixer username. I share them. It is not enough to dismiss this as an objection that is not “valid” - A significant number of these ways appear to be from US NHD data. You should also consult specifically with the US community and develop a consensus there that the edit is worth doing, in addition to the global community. - The mapping from NHD FCode to OSM tags used for some of these imports may of not been ideal. I have been working on a better one but have not finished. I believe it would be best to exclude the US from this edit and later on (post-rebuild likely) propose an edit which includes changing tagging on untouched objects.

I ask you to review my planned edit. There are lot of ways to tag intermittent water feature found in database. Most popular is intermittent=yes. All others come from different old imports. Date ist 2009-2010 year. I countiered ~350 000 features tagged in different such ways. Most is done by 10 users. I ask users iandees and SK53 join discussion, as most of such tags were imported by them. Others welcome too. I propose unification of tagging in all this imports. Following tags converted to intermittent=yes: frequency=intermittent occurrence=intermittent stream=intermittent water=intermittent type=intermittent Following tags converted to intermittent=no: frequency=perennial stream=perennial stream=ephemeral converted to intermittent=ephemeral. Just removed stream=fixme. Converted "fdate" field from NHD imports in iso8601 date, moved to check_date tag. Removed all id-like tags. If no valid objections will be raised, I upload this change on 2012-06-12. Here is overview: Short, to get the idea: http://worstfixer.000a.biz/04-intermittent/overview-short.html Long, for exact analysis: http://worstfixer.000a.biz/04-intermittent/overview-full.html.gz I currently looking for place to upload exact .osm.gz for a preview. Suggestions welcome. -- WorstFixer, twitter: http://twitter.com/WorstFixer
