I noticed that: Your OSM Heat Map @ neis-one.org. Looks like you’ve done a lot of good work on the London Zoo. I’ve been wondering why a relatively new user who’s mapping interest has been limited to very specific London locations would all of a sudden taken a very serious interest in New England place classification and Maine specifically. You joined the forum 16 hours ago after a four month hiatus from your London mapping. Why the sudden involvement in this topic? How did you become aware of the discussion?

And yet you haven’t done any mapping there. Curious.

How about “none of your business” for an answer? Don’t like that? Well I don’t care. Such nosy questions.

@edops has deleted their account, but now a new account by the name of edemes appears to be making broad changes to place classification in New England.

I can think of two possibilities here: either New England is a mysterious abyss that new users worldwide are fixated on classifying, or @edemes and the various inactive accounts in the above discussion are all just one very opinionated person trying to endear themself to the community with sockpuppets and edit wars.

I added a changeset comment on their most recent changeset asking them not to make any further changes to place classifications before discussing it here.

Can you clarify what you mean by your remark? I am not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with my revert.

If there is an ongoing, controversial tagging discussion happening in the community, it is inappropriate for users to make unilateral edits on the topic being discussed. A revert and invitation to the discussion is entirely appropriate here and there is tons of precedent.

I have reverted an additional place= node change (upgrading Sanford, ME to a city) and submitted a report to the DWG.

The DWG report is Ticket#2024073110000401

Sorry, that has how I interpreted this person’s attitude about reclassifying cities. Basically not wanting to engage in discussion because they think consensus is too hard, but I deleted my comment because it wasn’t constructive.
