Actually, I did not write the statement quoted below. I posted a reply to Pierre-Alain Dorange, who had made the quoted statement. I explained to Pierre-Alain that the bot was reportedly tagging any tree within 50 meters of any other tree as a cluster. Incidentally, doing so is the opposite of what had been suggested.

Check the posts from Sept. 7th: Tagging ML: Anthony-6: "Can't that analysis be expanded to the world, and the trees retagged?" M∡rtin Koppenhoefer: "can't you do this analysis and add tags to the landmark trees?" German ML: Wolfgang-4: "Aber aus deinen Daten sollte es doch eigentlich möglich sein, die einmal so erkannten und damit "geretteten" Bäume per bot mit einem entsprechenden Tag zu versehen," I did what was asked for. You can't mark landmarks automatically, but can add a hint to those that are likely unremarkable. Since it is just an additional tag, it is non-destructive, unlike re-inventing the tagging scheme. If you don't like it, just ignore it. This being OSM, surely there would be complaints. It is very funny that they even come from one of the very people who suggested it in the first place. :-) But I can live much better with being the bad guy anyway after investing quite some work to fix at least some of the ambiguity than with thoughtlessly destroying 4 years of previous work by other people. So please keep complaining, I am removing myself from the discussion. I have made my point three times over. As far as I am concerned, the problem is mostly remedied. If you still think it is a good idea to destroy some 50000 nodes of information - go ahead and let the edit war commence. bye Nop -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/tagging-single-trees-tp5501462p5519927.html Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging -- John F.
