I removed the buildings added.

If thats now actually an improvement is debatable.

" removing way tags such as from nodes
You claim to to this in this edit. This is untrue."
You're long enough here to know that an JOSM CS with exactly 10,000 changed objects actually consists of multiple changesets, because 10k is the max amount of objects you can upload in one CS.
I don't remember this that exactly, but I have removed bad tags of this import from probably around 100k objects, so there are at least 10 similar changesets.

Random example CS of this series where 10k nodes were cleaned is changeset/144462938

"> discussion of automated edit?
ask this user tuxachanie who did the import

I did, received no answer and reverted their import."
So you did an automated mass edit too - by deleting everything. Where exactly have you discussed that mass edit then?

"imports that make thing worse"
explain: what exactly have I "made worse" by removing clearly false tags?
And how is that different from you removing the data alltogether?

so now im getting blocked because I forgot to reply to one random comment? why haven't you tried to write another comment a week or so later or send a private message as a reminder to this discussion???

discussion of automated edit?
ask this user tuxachanie who did the import, I only came across this and fixed some very obvious tagging issues such as
- removing way tags such as railway=abandoned from nodes
- removing obvious tagging mistakes such as "title=*" instead of name

We're seriously at a point where OTHER people make apparently undiscussed mass edits/imports, I do some rough cleanup, and then I get BLOCKED for doing so?? ..... this level of disrespect is unbelievable

No way to fix incorrect features???
Assuming you have a TIGER imported road, 20 miles long between two towns, but with very rough/therefore incorrect aligment. You are going to adjust the geometry of the low quality nodes instead of deleting the entire 20 mile road.
And that's called "fixing".

If railway=abandoned ways are glued to other features like roads or boundaries, yes, this is incorrect mapping practice and should be fixed - by ungluing, and not just deleting.

DWG said one sentence: "don't map nonexisting features", and I generally agree with that, but again, we're talking about clearly existing features.

If you are unwilling to discuss controversial changes, then don't do them in the first place, and if you do but don't discuss anything, they will get reverted. So please engage with the changesets where I commented.

"painstakingly retraced throughout the length" - Yeah, it's not possible to delete ways in the Id editor without following them. Wow.

Features are glued to other features? Then fix it instead of lazily deleting it.

If an alignment of a railtrail dosen't follow the rail ROW, then remove the railway=abandoned there instead of the entire trail.

Don't forget to reply my other comments on your mass deletions and please explain how the traces I pointed out don't actually exist, like you're claiming ("to make sure no trace exists").

It was discussed on the Osmus slack channel a while ago.
But I don't know what is meant with "desciptive names".
Names like "X Gathering System"? That's not "descriptive" in this context, that's just ... well, the name, see e.g. https://cdn-gmlal.nitrocdn.com/COEFSwWOUXelieQTcxnmdtQFhbuAVPuh/assets/images/optimized/rev-f691760/www.enverus.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Midstream_Top5.jpg
for the EOG Resources Eagle Ford East Gathering System.

Also names like "X to Y [Pipeline]" are quite common as being the 'official' name.

Thanks for the reply. It seems that we have different understandings of what railway=abandoned means.
The way I am interpreting the wiki and have used it is that it doesen't mean "former railway" but instead "former railway still traceable".

Not everyone needs to be able to immediatly trace it from the ground - but it should be possible, and it is the case here.

The embarkments, tree lines, buildings alignments, railtrails, etc etc etc and heck, even the difference in vegetation color on farmland are still remnants that actually exist on the ground. Those features didn't just came out of nowhere - they're only there because there is/was a railroad right-of-way.
I don't see anything wrong with mapping that context, especially in times where micromapping like 3Dbuildings, manholes, road markings, parking spaces. etc is encouraged.
