the number of edits and how long a mapper has been mapping are

a month, the exact figures optimum numbers need to be

reduces the need to check every changeset for an area. I
assume that most vandalisation is done by accounts that would
be considered inexperienced mappers and we could gently guide
the others towards the map features page etc. If a mapper has
a thousand changesets to their name and been mapping more than
three months I think we can assume their mapping will contain
fewer errors than an inexperienced mapper so there is less
need to double check them.<br>

<p>I could find quite a few inconsistencies with a tool which shows
locations of the Wikipedia articles on the OSM map:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/">http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/</a></p>
<p>This tool just takes coordinates from a Wikipedia articles and
places geo-markers on the map. Usually significant buildings,
bridges, etc. have got a Wikipedia article often with coordinates.
So markers should point to these objects. <br>
</p>
<p>If, however, a marker points on an empty place, or if there is a
large building without a marker on it, it may be a sign of an
inconsistency. Besides, in a Wikipedia article and in the
corresponding Wikimedia category there are usually photos of an
object, so it provides additional possibilities of crosschecking.</p>
<p>Please, note, while selecting Wikipedia language in this tool,
that the language codes of Wikipedia do not always coincide with
country codes in URLs. For example, for the Swedish language
Wikipedia code is: sv, and not: se, for Ukrainian it is: uk, not
ua, etc. <br>
