[OSM-talk] Another large edit gone wrong (McDonald's)

[SomeoneElse]

Even apart from the node cockup, whilst it's possible that the 
perpetrator of this changeset has checked that every item changed did in 
fact sell processed dead cow, I suspect that that's unlikely.  For 
example, I note after a quick Google that "McDonalds Carpets & Rugs" 
spell their name without an apostrophe.

Most people here are extremely tolerant of people coming to the project 
anew and not quite understanding what they need to do first time, and 
are more than willing to help (see the huge amount of time people put 
into providing answers on the "help." site as an example of that), but 
this is someone who's been editing for a year.

Many years ago at work we used to have a "coding donkey" (a souvenir of 
someone's holiday long ago) which was passed around in response to 
recent embarrassing committed code.  Perhaps OSM needs something 
similar, a "muppet of the month" perhaps?

Cheers,
Andy
