Hi,
I tried to send this to the foundation but I got no response, so I'm trying
here.
During an edit session I noticed a number of errors near my living
area [1]. Comparing the area with GMaps [2] reveals too many
similiraties.
I have compared the OSM data with a dump of TeleAtlas DB which I use
for work and I discovered that ways and nodes are exactly the same so
I'm pretty sure that this data was uploaded from a similar dump.
The changesets are all of the user "moleilbevi" [3].
Other users have mapped the area before this "disaster" so is not easy
for me deleting only the ways copied.
Bye,
Stefano
