Philip<br>The REST API has a history qualifier which should show its complete edit history. This is what it gives for the segment and the two nodes that it's attached to:<br><pre id="line1"><span class="pi"><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.3/node/107862/history">

Created in June last year, not touched since. If only we knew the
alias of the contributor and could find other edits made by the same
person then we would be able to make a better judgement. But I'd say
this is ripe for deletion.<br>
<br>Under a very strict regime anything that is not supported by a tracklog, or does not have an attributed souce, would be a candidate for deletion ;-)<br><br>Etienne<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/31/06,

Yes, I've just found another segment, 65453, (crossing West-East from<br>Southampton Row, Central London) which again is both a bogus path, and<br>also not supported by even the most charitable interpretation of the<br>underlying GPS tracks. From the low number, (recent segments are in the
<br>range 9.2 million) it's one of the very first segments. Can someone with<br>access to the database deduce any more about this segment and who/when<br>it was created?<br><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Lars Aronsson [mailto:
