    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">To me, fixme tags always come with the
      implied 'I don't know, it needs surveying from a more
      knowledgeable local mapper' so I don't think a widespread
      mechanical edit will help.<br>
      <br>
      As others have said: What's the problem with these tags? As
      they're not harming the database. How will deleting them improve
      the quality of the database? <br>
      <br>
      Keep Right has the option to ignore fixmes that are irrelevant to
      a user.<br>
      <br>
      From what I've seen information added to 'Notes' is worse than
      fixmes.<br>
      <br>
      For a really useful mass edit, remove all the created_by=* tags
      that are attached to thousands (millions?) of nodes.<br>
