[Talk-GB] Edits being made by a National Trust GIS team member

[Dave F]

Hi
There have been some edits being made by a member of the National 
Trust's (NT) GIS team across the country.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Olivia%20Ragone/history#map=7/52.581/-0.801

The quality of a changeset in my vicinity has lead me to believe the 
others require checking

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/131387598

She didn't respond to my changeset comments, but did acknowledge my 
private email saying she was willing to make corrections, but those 
changes were creating more erroneous data so I asked her to stop editing.

When checking, a few things to look out for:
* Adding designation=public_footpath & foot=designated to ways that 
aren't PROWs.
* Remove designation=public_footpath tags from ways that are PROWs.
* Missing out bridges & tunnels when amending way tags.
* Deleting existing paths
* Adding multiple barriers to the same node
* Unnecessarily splitting ways
* Adding way tags to nodes

Her standard changeset comment:
"All edits have been made as per an Organised Edit Programme agreed with 
OSM, and in consultation with National Trust rangers and gardeners. For 
more info: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/National_Trust_Paths"

Other than creating the wiki page she mentions, what collaboration has 
the NT had with OSM (DWG, OSMF etc?). Are there any 'NT rangers and 
gardeners' on this forum who could comment/clarify?

I have to say, given the organisation & the fact its their GIS team, I'm 
quite disappointed in the quality of the amendments. I spent hours 
deciphering & checking the changes, including walking 6 miles to verify 
on ground signage. In hindsight I wish I'd reverted them.

Cheers
