Isn't this why we created the Organized Editing Guidelines in the first 
place? One solution is for mapathon hosts to talk about it before hand, 
and for people will more experience to provide feedback?

We spent a year on the organized editing policy. Why fart around 
ignoring the solution we have chosen. Let's move on. Mapathons can be of 
good quality and good for the community by following the policy. The 
rules are there. Follow them. Map. Organize. Have fun.
