[OSM-talk] Changeset 6234414

[Barnett, Phillip]

It's located at 0,0 so is obviously incorrect (at least to a first casual look) ie, whatever the user was intending to map, he's accidentally dumped it in the wrong place.

Look at the shape of the ways:

Now look at the area that the same user edited in their next few
changesets. For example:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=-49.3501728&minlat=-25.5176786&maxlon=-49.3216498&maxlat=-25.466278&box=yes

I'm not sure what they were trying to do but it looks like they used
the wrong projection when converting from their source to OSM so
everything got shifted. The user should probably be contacted. Anyone
speak Portugese?

But at the end of the day I'm guessing this changeset needs to be reverted.
