User is still responsive to changeset comments, so kudos for that at least!
Last month, I surveyed a spot where they had tagged a few archeological sites. The wiki specifies that this must have any sort of visible remnant. During the survey, I found nothing but farmland. Aerial imagery corroborates that there was nothing there in recent years either. Asking in the changeset if they remember seeing any remnants of the ice age settlement when they mapped it 6 years ago, they replied in PM a few hours later that some debris were found in the 60s but that no ice age settlement is there.
I had already changed the surveyed sites (1, 2) to be destroyed: (lifecycle prefix) because it was not there when I surveyed it, but now I believe that it should be removed from the map altogether. It seems to me that mapping what was once there (thousands of years ago for the settlement; decades ago for the artifacts) belongs on OpenHistoryMap, not OpenStreetMap.
- Do you think removing these two objects is correct? Or is there another tag for historic not-on-the-ground objects?
- Should we mark similar objects from this user as fixme=survey needed, with a link to this comment or topic?
