It may have been a user who wanted to draw attention to the fact that she
has inserted a place without knowing the name.
I am using fixme frequently on a similar way, when I encounter ditches or
similar minor water features in the Mapillary images and in the satellite
image that are crossing the highway I am mapping. I put a bridge or culvert
on the crossing and put a stretch of the water feature in the map, without
trying to follow it entirely, I frequently put something like "fixme=
name?; flow direction?; incomplete" as I think it is important to note that
there is this water course crossing the highway , but I have not followed
it up.
