[Talk-ca] Ottawa import: deleting existing content

[Kyle Nuttall]

From what I've seen, the address interpolations are very inaccurate. The ends are not position properly, sometimes there will be odd numbers on an even way (and vise versa), sometimes the addresses are backwards, sometimes on the wrong side of the street, sometimes both.

'Okay' data is better than no data but with the actual individual addresses now in Ottawa, there's good data that supercedes this bad data.

In my opinion these interpolations are actually making Ottawa worse and I question the necessity of them.

Cheers,
Kyle

It seems that some of the import users didn't get the “Don't delete
stuff” memo. User carpbunker is deleting address interpolation ways
(example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47333119) and existing
buildings (example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47337186).
Please stop doing that. You need to work around existing contributions.

I'd left changeset comments, but they had not been responded to until I
threatened to talk this to talk-ca.

The user claims to be deleting "bad address imports", but didn't discuss
how those previous contributions were bad here before unilaterally
deciding to delete nodes. Their import-only account is now a mess of
imports and deletions and will be hard to unpick.
