... largely by restricting the use of dumb automated tools and by 
actually _having_ an "Automated Edits code of conduct".

That doesn't mean that we should stop someone changing e.g. 
"highway=pirmary" to "highway=primary", and if someone says "I want my 
highway=pirmary leaving as they are" I'm sure the rest of their local 
OSM community will point out the error of their ways.

It does mean that tagfiddling between e.g. "contact:phone" and "phone" 
(or vice versa) when both are in use is probably unhelpful.

Best Regards,

Andy
