<br>
While I can also observe that in Lithuania in last month there was a<br>
huge increase in mapsme "edits" and 50% of those are straight bullshit<br>
(like adding as an artwork objects like "my crib", "place I fish",<br>
adding cyrillic names to name tag in Lithuania where cyrilic is<br>
totally alien etc.), 30% edits like adding duplicate points and only<br>
~20% being edits which could be interpreted and after editing begin<br>
useful. Thankfully in Lithuania we employ a mechanism similar to<br>
wikipedias "patrolling" so things like that are fixed pretty quickly.<br>
But still it uses resources which could be used better.<br>
<br>
But this is one another Zveriks "inventions" introducing havoc in<br>
OSM. We had russian automated translation adding to name:ru tags<br>
worldwide "because world of tank needs that". Before that we had<br>
zveriks "idea" of introducing natural=water for everything that is<br>
blue to tagging. Which was made less than a year after he joined OSM<br>
and with hundreds of thousands of objects already marked in a<br>
different way (that idea has failed because even after five years<br>
people still mark objects usual way rather than the new scheme).<br>
<br>
Worst of all Zverik did not engage in any discussion about<br>
aforementioned bad decisions!<br>
<br>
Maybe we should have some guards against such non discussed high<br>
impact "inventions"? And in case of "natural=water for everything<br>
blue" some mechanism to revert such not well thought out "proposals"?<br>
