[talk-au] #hotosm-project-9679 #sssifirewater : buildings removal

[nwastra nwastra]

Hi
I have noticed that a lot of buildings were removed in this edit and no explanation was given by changeset comment.
The mapper replied "This was part of the firewater map-a-thon hosted by SSSI hosted last weekend. One of the validators requested for the building polygons to be removed"

I am wondering if this is happening in other areas. The project doesn’t appear to map any buildings near the water storages even if next to rural residences.
I am suspicious that the buildings were considered to be seen to be cluttering up their tanks visibility.

Is anyone able to confirm if the buildings still exist or were razed by fire or other reason.
