[talk-au] FYI I removed a whole bunch on nodes where ways existed for the same object.

That's what we've been discussing but it's also a good idea to make sure you don't translate incorrect information like source tags.

Additionally just don't delete 300 or so nodes without seeing if it's by general agreement rather than just announcing that you've done it.

Not that you'd do anything like that, John :)



Personally I'd rather see the node left with name address and all the tags and the area just marked with the appropriate type and source.

eg for the "Campbell Primary School" the node has:

amenity=school
name=Campbell Primary School
addr:city=Canberra
...
source=gov.au

and the area tagged as
amenity=school
source=whatever

Then the names will not double render but the name is rendered in an appropriate position.  It's not really practical for suburb relations but most have a place= node anyway.


Cheers
