[Talk-us-massachusetts] Imported node tags

[Wayne Emerson, Jr.]

Greetings,

I just joined this list today, and have only been mapping on OSM for a 
few months. So I have a few questions :

1.) While updating maps in my local area (MA South Shore) it seems that 
every node on every street has both source= and attribution= tags. Since 
the way itself already has these tags, is it really necessary for every 
node to have them as well? Is this true for the entire state? This would 
seem like a huge waste of database space.

2.) While perusing last months archives for this list I see this: 
"Perhaps someone should tell them not to delete landuse=conservation; we 
have enough problems with mapbox." Have you guys seen the latest update 
to the iD editor? It throws up a huge warning if something is tagged 
with this and offers a one click fix, converting it to 
boundary=protected_area. I did a few this week, should I re-fix my fixes?

3.) What other problems do we have with Mapbox?


Thank You!

-Wayne
