[OSM-talk] "guide to vandalism” in OSM?

[Michał Brzozowski]

I happen to fix a lot of notes in Poland.
For me it would be impractical to check every POI that I add from notes.
Mind you, I do the research in the Internet if it's a feature that
could possibly have a website (fire station, church, restaurant,
supermarket etc), but the only way to check some (eg. smaller shops)
would be to check on the ground. Unless there's a mapper in every
single municipality it's not practical to do so - drive a long way to
just check "yep, it's there". Therefore sometimes I simply assume good
faith which in my opinion *is* sensible. But I mark any changesets or
POIs with source=notes.
