> Hi,
>
> today I've been validating a lot on project 1836 and found the quality of
> mapping astonishingly bad. Lots of thiles where the geometry mapped had
> little in common with the geometry in the imagery. Apart from the usual
> tagging errors, overlapping shapes etc.
>
> One reason might be that the instructions are only in English and in these
> projects we might have a lot of contributors who are fluent in Spanish but
> not in English.
>
> I identified those contributors who systematically made errors and
> addressed them directly in my tasking manager comment pointing out how they
> should improve their mapping skills. I did so in both English and Spanish.
> I reworked a tile with a smaller number of buildings and used the url from
> the tasking manager to point them there so that they can see how this
> should be done. Sometimes I include such a url as well when writing through
> the osm message system.

> basic validation in Ecuador.  ie validating what the instructions ask for.
> For them @ in the tile after a <crtl>i to grab the name works well.
