<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I have reverted one changeset - in
Yemen. It deleted 3 buildings - still there according to the

it to review as it was a small change and in an area where few may
notice. <br>

<div>I agree with the concerns you raised in the changeset
comment, and that the changesets are well-meaning, so
let's see if and how they respond first. There are only a
handful of changesets all from 18 days ago at this point.</div>

<p>Hi all</p>
<p>I am <i>respectfully </i>writing to hear what you
think about this changeset from a seemingly new
contributor. I definitely don't want to publicly
shame someone's well-meaning contribution, but after
commenting on the changeset, I want to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Inform others that the area they contribute to
might have been affected too</li>
<li>Know what other contributors think about the
nature of the changes, given that I have very
little experience with fixing / reverting changes
that affect such large areas.</li>
</ul>
<p>You will notice from the <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Australets/history"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">changeset
history of the contibutor</a> that all their
changesets were submitted on one single day, the day
they created their OSM account, and that they affect
very distant areas around the world (which makes me
think there isn't much local knowledge involved).<br>
</p>
<p>The changeset that affects the area I am familiar
with is changeset <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/103074912"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">103074912</a>.
But if you live around Geraldton (WA), you might
also be interested in this one: <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/103072911"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">103072911</a>.<br>
</p>
<p>Here is the message I wrote after I noticed the
changes in my area, so you have a better idea of my
concerns, but given the size of the changeset, I
haven't been able to give it a thorough review.<br>
</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>Hi Australets! I was wondering about the motivation
between this changeset, as it changed quite a few
things in the area where I contribute. <br>
What is the idea behind merging addresses, buildings
and points of interest? I know there are different
opinions on the matter, but I can see definite
drawbacks in the merging you did, at least in some
cases. For example, some of the resulting buildings
end up having a "source" tag that used to refer to
only the address, but now seems to refer to the
whole object. <br>
See for example this one: <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/401769723/history"
rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/401769723/history</a>
<br>
In other cases, the main building is apartments but
now has the name of one single shop included in it:
<a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/444096785/history"
rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/444096785/history</a>
<br>
In many cases, one single key could have a different
values for a building and a point of interest, even
though the general rule "One feature, one OSM
element" applies. (e.g. address, name, contact,
source...). Separate POIs are also helpful for shops
to more precisely show in the building where it is
located. <br>
Let me know what you think!</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>Any input would be appreciated, especially tips
about the way forward!</p>
<p>Cheers<br>
