Thanks Stalfur!

Examples of removed village nodes: Yongo Fongo 1 Suite, Yongo Fongo 2, Yongo Fongo 3 were all combined, as they were all taken as GPS points in the field to mark the extent of the same village, but were input to OSM as separate villages originally. This was one of my tasks within the global validation - combining both names and residential area outlines. Other names were also cleaned up, as many of them contained Pk numbers, which indicate how many kilometers from Bangassou the villages are and are used interchangeably with village names. I put Pk’s as alt_name where available.

@Stalfur - that looks great! What an interesting project. Disastermappers at University of Heidelberg have developed an imagery checking tool that would be a great tie-in, though it is being used right now for identifying where mapping efforts are needed. Here is a link to its current version: http://crowdmap.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/app/missing_maps_follow_up/

I noticed the tool picks up village names that have been removed (when the villages were combined), will these remain or disappear when updated?

Thanks for sharing! I look forward to seeing its further development and use.

@Alan Bragg - Glad to be of help!
