[OSM-talk] Sudden influx of bad HOTosm edits in West Bank

[Jo]

You can also use OSM inspector to find untagged ways:

http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=tagging&lon=-1.25144&lat=5.12425&zoom=13&opacity=0.63&overlays=ways_without_tags

and it's of course the better option instead of adding load to Overpass API.
