[Talk-ca] Dartmouthmapmaker

[Andrew Lester]

I'm not sure how helpful that article would be, considering that it focuses on building tagging, but this user is primarily working on admin boundaries and highways. 

John, I'm surprised that you were able to successfully have a discussion with them. A number of other contributors have tried to communicate with them through various means, but they either didn't respond or responded in a way that demonstrates they clearly don't understand what's happening. The fact that they refused to communicate is what led to the current block, and I'm not confident that they'll suddenly change their ways once the block ends. I guess we'll see what happens in a couple of days.

Being as gentle (though not local) as I can be, I continue to assert that our wiki for BC2020 in general and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020#The_data_that_could_be_mapped as a specific section IN that wiki (calling attention to these tags, with hundreds of potential values): 

building 
man_made 
addr 
start_date 
entrance 
amenity 
and others 

might prove very helpful starting points. Often the simple act of reading OSM's built-in wiki documentation is one of the best, if not THE best starting point. Of course, talk- mailing lists, our forum and many other sources of advice/documentation/help are available, too. 

Regards.
