Hi,
I have discovered a mechanical edit of 100 restaurants worldwide by user
BuganiniQ.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/22303143
comment=update diet:vegen/diet:vegetarian: set to only according to
cuisine; remove redundant tags
created_by=osmapi/0.2.24
Has this edit been discussed before? (Maybe I have missed the
discussion) I have not found anything browsing through the archives of
talk and imports mailing list back to March 2014. There are also no
results when I look for user BuganiniQ in OSM forum.
I've not seen any discussion anywhere of this one.
In practice, there are _lots_ of these sorts of well-meaning "tidying
up" edits; relatively few of which are ever discussed. Most are entirely
sensible (for example, see
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/24991952/history , which is in the most
recent such changeset that crosses where I live).
Should all such changesets be cleared as "mechanical edits" first? The
current guidelines suggest yes, but in practice this isn't done in
changesets that are "obviously correct" such as the maxspeed one above.
The tricky bit is to tell where the person doing the edit doesn't
understand the nuances present in the keys and values concerned (as I'm
sure that I don't with vegan etc.).
Cheers,
Andy
