Validation talk at SOTM Milan: Can we validate every change on OSM?
Posted by manoharuss on 27 July 2018 in English.Go catch Lukas Martinelli’s talk on validating every change on OSM this Saturday at 10:30AM in De Donato at State of the Map 2018 in Milan. “We will present how we have built bulletproof protection against the daily vandalism and newbie mistakes we see”. Here is the SOTM Talk Summary.

You can review these detections on OSMCHA with the reason Flagged for review by Mapbox.

Whilst it’s great that changesets near and not so near are being reviewed, I wouldn’t equate “Flagged for Review by Mapbox” with “vandalism”, which your graphic above suggests. Even if they’re problematical, most “flagged as vandalism” edits aren’t (for example of the last 6 “vandalism” issues reported to the DWG via the “report” function at an absolute stretch only 3 could be considered “vandalism” - more common reasons are new users trying to get the hang of things, and disagreements over tagging.
