Hi Chris,

I am not a member of talk-GB, could you please post a link to this
discussion and ask the mappers to review the remaining 
highway=traffic_calming nodes in GB?

thanks,
Gerd

I asked Gerd to revert the edit simply because it was an undiscussed
mechanical edit, for which Gerd has acknowledged and apologised (thanks
Gerd). I would like to add that discussion on this list may reach a
conclusion about the tags used (if we're lucky), but that still will not
be a suitable place to discuss a mechanical edit. Gerd's link is to an
edit across much of GB, so it needs to be discussed *and* agreed with GB
mappers. I would suggest that GB mechanical edits need to be discussed
on talk-GB and / or the #osm-gb irc channel. Similar mechanical edits in
other countries or areas need to be similarly discussed and agreed in
appropriate lists and channels too.
