I don't want to hijack this thread but the above is not quite correct - on the wiki the tag was indicated as having issues with verifiability and discussion was opened regarding this more than a year earlier: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:waterway%3Dwadi&oldid=953081 But you indeed correctly identified the problem that mappers had a highly variable understanding of what this tag means and its use was very incoonsistent as a result. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
