[OSM-talk-ie] Is data being corrupted?

[Marc Gemis]

the last edit date of ways or relations are only updated when their
tags or the list of their members change. Not when the members in the
relation of way change location or tags.
So the error you describe is only 6 days old, and Vincent de Philly

I thought it implausible that such obvious errors would remain in place for so long. Indeed, I had sometimes edited in the area and would have thought that I would have spotted an obvious error (I readily admit I make errors also). Many of the issues are thrown up by OSMI http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/

The thing is, I viewed that area recently (I don't recollect why) and had to do a forced refresh of the browser (Ctrl F5) of the area to make the background map match the object outline. Several users have edited in the area in recent years and surely one of us would have spotted the error. Interestingly, the car park is now attached to a node for a shop.
