Hi,
User WJtW[1] has been making large numbers of edits to railways across Europe in the past few months, all with the changeset comment "Electrified". Most of them are adding tags like gauge=1435 which may well be right (although I have no idea of his source for this). However on many occasions he has added tracks=N to the individual tracks where they are already mapped as N separate tracks. According to the wiki this should now be interpreted as N*N tracks. For example, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link south-east of London, is composed of two tracks (see [2] for a sample way). They are now both tagged with tracks=2, saying that each way represents 2 tracks, suggesting there are 4 in total, which is wrong. I have sent two messages explaining as above and requesting that they review this tagging, but no response so far. I noticed that another mapper has also added a comment to at least one changeset with the same intent. Any ideas how we can stop this behaviour, and repair the "damage"? //colin [1] http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/WJtW [2] http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/34574683
