Why you LIE in your changeset comments? Or how exactly did you "replace local tags" here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/30803284
Please please please, you're not even the first one to trying to destroy this data, why we need to continuously complain about same tags getting deleted by some random, non-local guy?

Hmm, this is the correct copy paste link I meant:

Hi ij_
"arava = yes" was used 7 times and only in a range of some 100 metres at 2 points around Helsinki.
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/9byWhy not to use english, well known and defined tags? Then the info is for all people available and not for just 1%?
To prevent further "destroy of data" you can always add a note to your private tags.

a) It is seldom used because it's hard to collect (which makes it even more useful to store) b) The system does not have an international/global counterpart and c) in OSM, nobody has the authority to remove data others have contributed, unless they know it misdescribes what is on the ground.

Didn't you even read what I said?
...Given what you say now here, why you didn't then "replace" it with "english, well known and defined tag" yourself like you actually PROMISED in your changeset comment?!? Although I highly doubt there's some global tag you can find but I'm not entirely dismissing possibility that some subsidy related tag might exists deeply buried into the wiki.
In addition, the meaning of "Arava" is so obvious to locals (that name actually comes from Finnish law I think) that there's absolutely no point in adding notes about it for some non-locals who should randomly delete stuff that make no sense to them. It's alarming BTW, that also "further destroy of data" is to be expected?!? If you'd only delete data whose meaning you fully understand (or if applicable, you'd really "replace" the tags with ones that apply more globally like you claimed to do, even better obviously), we'd not be talking here.
