<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
a year ago, the account "Peterborough GIS" added about 180,000 buildings <br>
in their area <br>
(<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Peterborough%20GIS/history#map=13/43.9070/-78.7678" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Peterborough%20GIS/history#map=13/43.9070/-78.7678</a>),
<br>
deleting about 10,000 pre-existing structures in the process (the total <br>
number of objects affected is about 1.5 million, this accounts for the <br>
nodes needed to construct a building).<br>
<br>
They haven't been seen in OSM since, and a request to explain their <br>
sources (certainly not "Esri World Imagery" as claimed) in<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/87620890" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/87620890</a> went unanswered.<br>
<br>
Since this was clearly a rules-violating import, the sources are <br>
unclear, and the mapper has not been willing to engage, the import would <br>
normally be a candidate for a speedy revert.<br>
<br>
Sadly, with all this now lying 12 months behind us, "speedy" is not an <br>
option anymore.<br>
<br>
Are you ok with removing this import? Then I'd do that as soon as <br>
possible. Or would you prefer to keep it, and if yes, do I have a <br>
volunteer to chase up the data source and verify that the licensing is <br>
clean?<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
Frederik<br>
