[OSM-talk] Betr.: Re: Retaggin of ways

[mallok]

I have the same problem in my neighbourhood. I  did a lot of gps tracing, created the  roads, etc.
Some time ago a user 'touched' these roads,  in one case even changed one...
Checking for users nearby this particular user does not  belong to them. This user is also not responding  to my messages.

Please do not misunderstand me, but  why are using yahoo imagery to line up roads, where most likely a local person created these using a gps, thus being more acurate?

I actually, having started just  a few months ago, am  not particularly motivated to continue if this standardly happen with 'my work'. After all there is a bit of pride seeing the stuff you did appear in the map. Nothing to complain, if edits afterwards increase quality; in my case it did not and I now have to rework the section in question instead of taking care of other white areas...

It kind of bother me too that all the roads I touch show up with my name 
on them. (I'm touching a lot of them, since I'm using the Yahoo! imagery 
to line them up). Now the original editor is not visible anymore in 
Osmarender. I suppose it is know somewhere in the innards of the DB 
though and only the last person editing is shown for practical reasons.
