Not necessarily as fixing the tag could also result in the data being rendered therefore making it more visible for people to come in and fix (if a local community of OSMers exists). There are arguments on either side but I do feel that point blank resistance to these sort of proposals does not help OSM in the long run. If we work together we could develop a great set of tools - for example: * Automated detection of imports (based on an assessment of the changeset). * A "find similar" mode to help people to manually assess and fix possible tag errors (a sort of maproulette on steroids that creates tasks based on a users behaviour rather than a list of predefined tasks). For now though it would be good to link taginfo to maproulette in some way. Rob
