[Talk-GB] Landuse polygons created by TimSC: delete them?

There are many landuse polygons in the London area that were created by user 
TimSC, who has not yet accepted the Contributor Terms. They will all be purged 
from the database when the licence changes if he continues not to do so. TimSC 
is now demanding changes to the way OSM is run with the treat of not accepting 
the CTs. (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.legal/6102) I 
believe that, whatever the merits what he wants are, his methods are 
unacceptable and the community should reject them.

I therefore propose to delete every landuse polygon that TimSC created with 
the hope that they will eventually be replaced with polygons based on high-
resolution imagery and ground surveys that we can use going forwards.
