<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
today I've been validating a lot on project 1836 and found the
quality of mapping astonishingly bad. Lots of thiles where the
geometry mapped had little in common with the geometry in the
imagery. Apart from the usual tagging errors, overlapping shapes
etc.<br>
<br>
One reason might be that the instructions are only in English and
in these projects we might have a lot of contributors who are
fluent in Spanish but not in English.<br>
<br>
I identified those contributors who systematically made errors and
addressed them directly in my tasking manager comment pointing out
how they should improve their mapping skills. I did so in both
English and Spanish. I reworked a tile with a smaller number of
buildings and used the url from the tasking manager to point them
there so that they can see how this should be done. Sometimes I
include such a url as well when writing through the osm message
system.<br>
<br>

then you need a fair bit of knowledge of JOSM to know that and
its a lot easier just to put a @ sign with the comment in the
tile, then the person can see what you're talking about. A
message sent through OSM isn't as easy for them to see where
the problem was.<br>

about four JOSM mappers who aren't terribly experienced but
are solid enough to do basic validation on other projects and
have been doing basic validation in Ecuador. ie validating
what the instructions ask for. For them @ in the tile after a
<crtl>i to grab the name works well.<br>
