This might help for a start via overpass

(

  nwr["fixme"](user:"aaronsta")({{bbox}});

Fixing a note yesterday arvo to add a cafe in Perth https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118044124#map=19/-31.90414/115.86993 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118044124#map=19/-31.90414/115.86993&layers=N> &layers=N, but when I moused over the next house just to check the street number, it had a Fix-Me on it, saying "21".

 

Thinking that may be a street address, despite being next door to Number 4, I checked further along the street & all the mapped houses have Fix-Me 21 on them, while across the street has Fix-Me 22?

 

Having a good look this morning & there are apparently 1000+ of them! :-(

Checking one of them further, & what do we find?:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/424520629#map=19/-31.90435/115.87189 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/424520629#map=19/-31.90435/115.87189&layers=N> &layers=N

 

Does the name aaronsta mean anything to anybody? /s :-(

 

Any way of clearing 1000+, on the surface, apparently pointless Fix-Me comments? 5 years old so they may be difficult to just wind back?

 

Thanks

 

Graeme
