[OSM-talk] "NRCS basic OSM training" - low quality changesets in Nepal

[Jan Michel]

Hi,
I wrote some changeset comments as well as Michałs. None of the was 
answered up to now, despite many new edits have been made by the users.

It's not just single mistakes, but they accumulate to a substantial 
amount of data, here's just a small excerpt of what I found:

Key	Occurences
addr:tole    127
Addr:city    19
addr: opening time    28
addr: place    24
Addr:place    35
godawari municipality    34

New keys are "invented" every day. I think something should be done soon 
as cleaning this up is quite some effort. I wonder if there is somebody 
from the local community available to help?
