Poor attention to detail, incompletely described submissions.


Personally I consider the worst mappers to be those who put a line or point on the map with no usable description supplied, maybe just a 'created_by' and/or 'source' tags. Amazingly these same mappers, do the opposite and fully & clearly tag their work. 

I'll never single out anyone because I'm not in possession of all the facts.

I will take this opportunity to ask ALL mappers to check their work after submission and either fix or remove it if it isn't up to standards.
