Sorry but Frederik and my numbers (odbl.poole.ch) are compatible
(odbl.de naturally not, RTFM). Just because some areas look like a
big red blob, doesn't mean that are lot of useful (ie non-imported)
data is being lost, look at Spain for example. <br>

I'm not quite sure where you got your numbers from, but it
is clear that in terms of outright deletions we are talking
of less than 5%.<br>

That's not the point. Since not making a decision is
the same as declining for the purposes of data
survival, deleting a quarter to a third of the map
seems to me to be the project committing suicide. It
will improve no doubt as time goes on, but I was
seriously expecting the threshold to be in the 90+%
of data survival to proceed.<br>
<br>
Yes, the 100/1 means that only a tiny fraction of
the red and orange is ideological, it's surely
mostly about people who have moved on, in interests,
email addresses or mortality who we'll just never
hear from. If it were just their edits, I'd be much
less concerned, but it's the way it kills everyone
else afterwards. It's even more galling when they
deleted the original data to make their edit, so
they've effectively taken the earlier work away too.<br>
<br>
I'll certainly be contacting people now Frederick
has provided an easy means to evaluate the data, but
I'm not overly optimistic about people replying - I
run a membership database and find maybe 10% of
people change their email addresses each year, and
half of those don't tell me, and that's when they've
paid an annual sub to belong.<br>
<br>
Is anyone going to answer the question about the
threshold? I'm not being rhetorical, I really would
like to know.<br>
