Exactly. I did fix a lot of errors and warnings on one island of the Acores
last week. The errors where all made by newbees with JOSM (pt) and mostly new
objects.

I do not know if there are big differences between the languages (en,de <->
pt), but I doubt that this was the reason for unconnected node, doubled nodes,
unconnected roads and crossing roads without common node or layer tag.


There is definitly room for improvements in layout and links to "howto to fix"
within the dialogue but right know I hope that a user who is confused will
rather ask some others for help than simply ignoring the dialogue or throwing
away his/her changes.

Cheers colliar
