[Talk-GB] More mindless drudgery...

[Andy Townsend]

Alas,

I've found another class of imported data not covered by the previous 
overpass query.  I spotted this at 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1046339418/history .  It's not 
included in the previous query because it was edited by another mapper 
since the original import.  This other mapper just removed 
"operator:wikipedia"**.

The new Overpass query is https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1rmf .

Some of those were already fixed by the original importer before 
"operator:wikipedia" was removed (for example, 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1046322839/history was one of those), 
but many were not.

Again, I'm sharing this just because I know that sometimes people "like 
stuff to fix" so if anyone fancies a go, feel free.  Like before, if 
not, no problem - I'm sure I'll get round to finishing them off at some 
point!

Best Regards,

Andy

** I'm not sure why; I wouldn't have added that myself in the first 
place but it seems pointless to remove it when not doing any other edits
