<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Andy,<br></div><br>These are Pokemon Go edits driven by the fact that the South Korea release of the game is definitely using OSM as the base map.<br><br></div>Total number of editors has picked up massively worldwide in the past few days with a ridiculous peak of 3000 new users a minute sometime this afternoon (although this may be a SEO-driven peak in the US).<br><br></div>Certainly whatever the basis of the influx its quite a lot to handle for existing 'data curators'. See the current range of changeset discussions. It's difficult to be sure, but I think there's an uptick in other edits too.<br><br></div>Jerry<br><div><br><br><div><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 27 January 2017 at 16:03, Andy Robinson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ajrlists@gmail.com" target="_blank">ajrlists@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">There has been a large number of new editors in the wider midlands over the<br>

to exiting park areas. Some are fine first edits (a little awkward in placed<br>
but not unreasonable) but others are not, so if it's also happening in your<br>
area keep a close eye. I'm reverting those in my watch rectangle that are<br>
obviously inappropriate and I, along with I note some others, have added<br>
some changeset comments to try and make contact where appropriate, though<br>
thus far no responses.<br>

Mostly these seem to be id edits so I'm guessing perhaps a University course<br>
or something.<br>
