Inform the mappers in the affected areas using this mailing
list while simultaneously making a plan on how to manage the edits and publicizing them for comments and suggestions<br>2. Document my mechanical edits in the OSM Wiki<br>3. Make mechanical edits<br>4. Make a Post-Mechanical Edit report <br><br>What I've noticed:<br>1. There are cases that bank branches have been relocated. An example of this was the Kidapawan branch, which was relocated to Calinan in Davao City[2]. Both nodes representing the two branches are currently tagged as PNB branches.<br>2. During the mechanical editing process, one duplicate node in Lapu-Lapu City was deleted while two buildings (one in Pampanga and one in Davao City have been stripped of their bank-related tags due to the One feature, one OSM element principle.<br>3. Except the instance when I encountered an edit conflict during the North Luzon leg of the mechanical edit, the mechanical editing process went smoothly as planned.<br><br>What can you do after the recent
mechanical edit:<br>1. Do on-the-ground surveys to confirm if the Allied Bank branch is now a PNB branch.<br>2. If you noticed that my mechanical edits do not correspond to the on-the-ground situation, do the following:<br>2.1 Message me to revert my mechanical edit for a certain branch or area.<br>2.2 Make the corresponding edits. Example: if the Allied Bank branch is not yet an PNB branch, re-tag it as name=Allied Bank and remove the old_name tag for the time being. If it becomes a PNB branch, change the tags to name=PNB; old_name=Allied Bank.<br><br>To be done in future mechanical edits:<br></div><div id="yiv4499696182yui_3_13_0_1_1383181551907_3217">1. Notify users in affected areas at least 3 days before the planned mechanical edits through OSM inbox, since not everyone is a part of this mailing list.<br>2. Create a dedicated mechanical edits account<br><br><br>[1] see
