Passion is what can make a good mapper. But keep it in perspective
people. <br>

Yep. You're one of the people. I wasn't<br>
going to name names -- thank you for fingering yourself as one
of the<br>
guilty parties. Thanks for your cooperation in ceasing this
practice,<br>
I really appreciate your help.<br>

I have deleted things I did not see. For years I passed that spot
and never saw these things.... <br>
One day I went there to do some mapping not just passing.. those
thing I deleted .. they were there!!!!<br>
So I put them back... but I hope I learnt a lesson.. if there is
something in OSM; <br>
I really should not deleted it/them. <br>
I can change the tags, and certainly add notes, fixmes ... but not
remove unless I'm absolutely certain that the information can never
be used in the future! <br>
<br>
For example a demolished building .. may have a new building built
on the same spot .. with the same outline. <br>
Leave the node data in OSM, change the tag building=yes to
building=demolished (may not be rendered nor official OSM tagging)
add a note as to who/why .. <br>
and then if rebuilt change the tag back to building=yes... with a
source tag please. <br>
If the site has a different shaped building then the nodes will have
to be changed, or the site gets used for something else .. then
change it. But untill then leave the old data there. <br>
