[Talk-ca] City of Ottawa imported buildings & addresses

[Denis Carriere]

Ok now things are even worse!

*(Frederik Ramm) *just did a mass revert [0] with his revert script [1]
created in 2009 and now we have 20,000+ warnings of empty nodes within a
small section of Ottawa [2].

Not only did *(Frederik Ramm) *undo James commits, but now you've
introduced over 100,000+ warnings scattered across Ottawa which is near
impossible to fix unless we revert the revert.

If you're going to undo someone's commits, at least do it right and not
corrupt the OSM data for the Ottawa community.

Please remove all of the empty nodes you've just created from your poor
revert, have you even looked at what you reverted??
