[OSM-talk] Edit review: ele=0

[Gregory]

Why make automated edits?
Why not use your scripting ability to contact the users that added the
ele=0 tags, tell them you have noticed lots and ask if they are right or
wrong. Ask them how they made them, so that they are aware and don't add
more wrong ele=0 tags.
Then you can even offer to correct them for you. But this should be done
with extra filters, such as only remove tags added by a certain user in a
certain area during a certain time frame, and with the consent of the user
that added them. It would also be good for you to show the code of your
automated script to other users on the mailing list so that they can spot
if there is anything that might be wrong with it.
