[Talk-ca] Dartmouthmapmaker

My feeling is in this case they need their tags reviewed and then to be
pointed back to probably Map Features for those that are not aligned.

It's labour intensive but if they can be turned round then that would give
us an active mapper who is involved over the longer term rather than
someone who maps for a day.
