I just happened to notice this guy tonight was going around and editing the "ref" tags on highways in the US just to replace the space and put in the hyphen. (I noticed this when going to load the I-77 NC relation to add in speed limits I saw and wrote down on a recent trip to Charlotte because he changed a name of a way.) He's done in this in several places recently. It *seems* that all he does in the changesets is change the "ref" tags or expands the name tags fully (AVE > Avenue). Of course, it's one of those guys that uses Potlatch2 and doesn't even put in a comment.. (I really hate those kinds of people). The user is 'chdr'. <A href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/chdr">http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/chdr</A><BR> <BR>Some examples of him screwing up the ref tags:<BR> <BR>US 1 > US-1: <A href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/23472584">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/23472584</A><BR>I 77;US 21 > I-77 / US-21: <A href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/94750537">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/94750537</A> <-- I'll be fixing this one right away because of the name tag, otherwise, not touching anything else he's changed. Yet....)<BR>I 277;US 74 > I-277 / US-74: <A href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/94405109">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/94405109</A><BR>new > OH-2: <A href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/37648201/history">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/37648201/history</A> <-- NE2 has since changed it to SR 2.<BR> <BR>If he continues to do this, this could seriously screw up rendering on maps (like Mapquest Open) and even on Mapnik (if the ref before the change was already rendering). He's been doing it since April 18th, 2011 at least as far as I can tell.<BR> <BR>I've sent a message to this user about this. I'll let you guys know if I get a response.<BR> <BR>-- James<BR> </body>
