Why have you removed the addr:country=GB tag? Is there a purpose to it?
-
Comment from Paul Berry
Overtagging. It's not needed and only about a third of the address in the area had it anyway.

Where was the discussion before you made this mass edit, or where has the UK community agreed and documented that the address:country tag is "not needed"? If it has been agreed by the community, then I have no real problem with it. But if not, then it's not a very valid edit.
A mass edit, removing the tag from 1/3 of the addresses in a large area, should have been discussed by the community first, and followed the code of conduct here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct
Did that happen? I can't see anything in the talk:GB mailing list.It would also be great if you could amend the changeset comment so it actually describes what you have done "Remove addr:country=GB", rather than "Address corrections" (which implies that the addresses were 'incorrect', when what you seem to have actually done is just remove information).

Comment from Paul Berry
Thanks. You're right to call out the mass edit. I'll raise the issue in the proper way.
My reasons were: I don't think the tag adds any information, the country code might be better represented as UK anyway, and these tags themselves mostly originated from fhrsid imports in the first place.

Thanks a lot. I couldn't find any info about the addr:country tag in the UK-specific discussions/wiki, so not sure if there is community consensus in the UK.
Personally, I'm a bit wary of edits that just delete stuff based on an idea of "making the data tidier/smaller". There's a lot of 'duplicated' info in the database that could be rationalised (in different ways depending on your viewpoint!), but I think it's more productive to add things!
