[OSM-talk] Duplicate Buildings

Occasionally I come across a building that has been mapped twice.   A 
number of them look as if they have been uploaded twice.

Could some nice bot expert build one to run through the map and delete 
any ways that are an exact duplicate even as far as the tags are concerned?

The problem comes when doing population counts etc that rely on the 
number of buildings in a given area.  A duplicated building means the 
wrong number of vaccines etc get delivered to the area besides 
cluttering up the map.

Thanks John
