<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am seeking advice on how to proceed with
an issue around Melbourne and Victoria regarding tagging of
abandoned/disused railway stations and railways.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Outer Circle Line is a railway that has
been almost entirely ripped up and abandoned. The former track
and its stations were previously incorrectly tagged with
railway=station which meant that they showed up on the default
OSM layer, in navigation apps and other places where they
should not appear. I and others have been changing them to the
correct railway:historic=station_site or
railway:historic=station as per the consensus here: <a

Unfortunately, every time these tags have been corrected, the
user has changed them back.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the recent instances is here: <a

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried messaging the user twice but
no response was received and, as of eight days ago, the
reverting has continued. I know of at least three other users
who have also tried contacting this user over the past year or
so to no avail.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any advice on how to proceed?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
