hola alan,

Hi, Alan!
A quick note: in this changeset you, somehow, added "building=yes" not only to buildings, but also to points.
I guessm to avoid this one needs to "unselect nodes" before adding tags to ways.

I've just corrected it.
1. Dowloaded the changeset in JOSM: use File -> Open Location and paste the changeset URL e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/72488028
2. Selected all buildings (Ctrl+F, "building")

Hello Alan Bragg. Is this an import? Is there any discussion about your edit?
Why i'm asking: in this changeset you have introduced a lot (nearly 20) of new, unkown, undocumented and uppercase keys! I don't think, that this should be in the osm database.
2 ~ 8 years agoAlan Bragg Not an import. Reworking bad data from 2009. Old polygons were from digitized maps and poorly aligned. More recent data is now available which is replacing old one polygon at a time after review. I'm lobbying our local community to remove all these massgis: tags that came with the import.

It looks like this is a data import, that even covers a large bounding box. If this is an import done with discussion, this is okay, but it must be reverted, as the data imported may be mostly inserted outside the supposed bounds. I do not know whether SomeoneElse will interfere, any time later.
