<p>Hi Willi. </p>
<p>Sorry to read your negative opinion. I think a better and more detailed wiki page helps osm, irrespectively of edit history. I don't see why editing and refining a page is bad. Sure things can always be done better, but the beauty of wikis is that you can update them fast without going through a comitee.</p>
<p>Regards.</p>

Imho it's not only bad behavior to change a wiki page 19 times on the same<br>
day it's harming OSM. Having the discussion on the OSM-dev list makes this<br>
even worse.<br>

All changes except minor should be discussed on the Talk page first. Even if<br>
you are the expert and are 200% sure that what you are writing is correct it<br>
might be misleading or even not understandable to non experts. And imho<br>
that's just the case for the new additions. Asking to be involved in<br>
discussions but changing the page without discussion is topping this.<br>

I'm afraid more mapper will turn away from Wiki pages when they neither can<br>
follow nor understand such frequent changes. That's harming OSM.<br>
