I haven't introduced this schema. The problem wouldn't even exist if by creating the new schema, the old one was deprecated. Unfortunately it wasn't done, but if it doesn't get done now it won't get done.

This is what we are trying to solve. We want to remove waterway=riverbank in order to not have duplicate water schema. I don't see where is the problem.

Are there any other countries that are guarded by people like you? Are there any projects except yours that rely on this exact tagging and doesn't want to support the newer standard? I don't think that any company or project that doesn't want to improve over time will not survive for a lot of time. Even the governments upgrade their systems and scrap older technology.

The only data consumer that doesn't want the change is you. The new schema does not have any advantages FOR YOU. The world DOES NOT spin around you or Lithuania. I do not enforce these changes since anyone can revert anything if they so desire. I don't know who are you referring by "we", but I'm pretty sure that enforcing 15 years old policy isn't very professional. Also the fact that you have an account that is made before mine doesn't mean anything.

These data consumers won't be here for a lot of time if they haven't changed anything in 15 years. If things don't change, this project will become even bigger chaos. Also you aren't the person to tell me what to do or not to do.

There could be things that I have missed and there could be things that I can't fix since the imagery is not the best in some places. About your last question: it's not my decision. It is a project ran by another user. The goal is to unify the tagging system so that data consumers don't have to deal with different sets of tags. Also the existence of two way to tag the same thing thing is not necessary and generally decreases the quality of the data.

I see that you haven't seen what I've done in my changesets. I fix the numerous mistakes that were made years ago and no one has fixed them (like disconnected ways, accidentally moved nodes in ways, duplicated ways/nodes etc.).

natural=water + water=river is also perfectly working tag. Why wouldn't you want to use it?

But you are fixing stuff that are not broken..

Since when "guarding" a country from other editors is considered good for OSM?

How am I breaking "perfectly working tags" and what even is "perfectly working tags"? There is no such definition in the wiki.

Hello EuxeinosPontos,

It looks like the streams that you've mapped don't exist according to Mapillary. I think that it would be better to delete them.
