I agree that all the original edits which have not been subsequently changed should be reverted. I am one of those who has tried to correct some of the areas, but the original was so bad that it is still not satisfactory. I would be sorry to loose my extra work there. But I originally tried to respect as far as I could the work of another mapper. Having now seen the block and the the problems elsewhere, I would now be more radical in my corrections. ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
