Hi there all, while becoming familiar ( and generally playing around with Postgresql + osm data ) with the mapping data system I discovered a set of records, contained within the australia.osm.pbf extract, which might be considered suspect...? I'll let higher authorities pass final judgement, however I include the following SQL style report on what I found.
I wonder if someone could take a look at this as it seems rather suspect on first viewing, comments? Suggestions? Regards, Michael. asked 07 Feb '13, 07:28 MJFalconer aseerel4c26 ♦ |

Thank you for reporting this. OSM has the Data Working Group http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data_working_group to deal with such issues. I've sent them a mail with a pointer to this question. So I think you will get an answer in a couple of days here. answered 07 Feb '13, 08:33 Roland Olbricht |

Hmmm...i think things are not that easy at they seem. In Australia's case, the Western Power can be Russia, but this is a Eastern Power. Extrapolating that, America is The Eastern Power in this case but America is a Western Power. So all this raise a question: Why can't we just......get along....^-^
The above example is this node: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1959963292 if that helps the DWG at all.
@Kaigara: "Western Power" is probably the name of a power company.
