[talk-au] OpenStreetMap Wiki page Australian Tagging Guidelines has been changed by Aaronsta

[Phil Wyatt]

I am happy to send an email to DWG with an overview of concerns. Maybe other folks can gather a listing of any desired changesets for reversion and if all or just some wiki edits should be reverted.

There is also that he seems to be deleting all source tags on any loaded objects with many of his changesets.

I wrote a changeset comment on one of the changesets that do that, to which he has simply not replied. (My changeset comments about that and the PBN have been made at the same time, he replied to the later, not the former).

This is exactly the behaviour that earned him a block and a mass revert of scores of changesets 5 years ago. (See my link to the talk-au archive with posts about that earlier in this discussion).

Yes, he has made big changes to the documentation and the map. The same 2 issues apply to both, some of the changes are contrary to community expectations and changes of such scale should be made after consultation. I believe he is acting in good faith but his balance between contribution and consultation is badly out.

The issue for us is to explain to him what the expectations are for consultation without alienating him.
