>From a quick look, there seems to be a lot wrong with osmmaker's edits. It appears he has indiscriminately selected all objects in the world tagged with 'Marks and Spencer' (and variant spellings) and then added a load of tags. No checks seem to have been done to confirm whether the things he's changing are real 'Marks and Spencer' stores. This has led to tags like 'brand' and 'website' being wrongly added to things like bus stops, public transport stop areas and car parks. His earlier edits also wrongly changed an M&S distribution warehouse.<br>
<br>
I think consultation before making mass changes is essential. Undiscussed edits of this sort often degrade the data and should not be tolerated.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
So, apart from the non discussion being supposedly /wrong/. What are the errors in osmmaker's edits?<br>
<br>
If they'd been done individually (not that hard) would people kicked up a fuss?<br>
<br>
I'm not convinced 33 entity amendments can be described as a "mass edit"<br>
