<p>John, <br>
</p>
<p>I mentioned several times in the various email threads that I
planned to make substantial changes to the wiki. If you think
something I added is a value judgment, I encourage you to point it
out, on the wiki itself ideally. I think I've mostly been
restructuring the page (without deleting much) and adding content
on data quality. <br>
</p>
<p>Best,<br>

I make no comment on whether the changes are good or bad merely extensive without apparent consultation.

John, much consensus is achieved in wiki Discussion(s), simply click the Discussion tab, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Talk:Canada_Building_Import">https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Talk:Canada_Building_Import</a> and notice that there are four threads/sections under Discussion there already.
If some "number of people" were involved in the original, they are perfectly welcome to join there.
I'm not saying "don't do this in talk-ca" I am saying "there are often more-appropriate (vs. less-appropriate) places to have a discussion to achieve consensus." Sometimes, it makes sense to have an off-list email conversation in a one-on-one or one-on-many fashion. Thanks.
