Mechanical Edits/Mateusz Konieczny - bot account/removing source:user in Poland
Page content created as advised on Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct#Document_and_discuss_your_plans.
This edit will remove useless source:user=* tags in Poland
Who
I, Mateusz Konieczny using my bot account
contact
message via OSM I will respond also to PMs to the bot account, though messaging my main account is preferable as I will get notifications in OSM editors.
English and Polish languages are preferable, for other I need to use an automatic translator.
What
remove
Why
Why it is useful? It helps newbies to avoid becoming confused. It protects against such values becoming established. Without drudgery that would be required from the manual cleanup.
Why automatic edit? I a have massive queue (in thousands and tens of thousands) of automatically detectable issues which are not reported by mainstream validators, require fixes and fix requires review or complete manual cleanup.
There is no point in manual drudgery here, with values completely useless.
This values here do NOT require manual overwiev. If this cases will turn out to be an useful signal of invalid editing than I will remain reviewing nearby areas where bot edited.
Yes, bot edit WILL cause objects to be edited. Nevertheless, as result map data quality will improve.
Numbers
Large enough to make it useful to automate it.
How
