2. What's a right reason to edit you might ask, seriously i hate going into situations of edit tug of war.
Personally i prefer to edit if it's a new area or road and no one had done anything on it.
But apart from that i try to solve some map update requests and problems, usual main problems that you'll find is wrong directions, weird routing, speed cam often mis-reported and missing roads just to name few major ones and very seldom do people report about landmarks as yet.

And most problems still focuses on routing which is often due to wrong alignment of roads and directional arrows.
With the massive amendments of roads by LTA , some for new circle line ... plus many roads had being altered for dunno what reasons like changing a 3 a-side lanes to maybe 4-2 instead.
There's a also massive adding of center safety island/kerb to divide the roads so it's only common that alignment and directions if off... these changes is not visible to any road maps or satellite imagery and only editors and drivers who stays nearby or uses those roads will know.

So for me when i edit i either have spotted the problems or misalignment and i believe i could improve the routing or even some landmarks which is covering the roads or rivers flooding on carparks which i saw in mountbatten rd only than i'll edit.

Client updates only happens in 3 or 4 weeks which means you basically get 1 update per month or 12 per year at current rate.
Rampantly editing of roads will not only deprive other users/editors to see or test their edits (which could be correct ) and will probably end up having have wrong edits updated as well, depending on their cut off date within that month.
Which to me serve no purpose at all if it's wrong.

So please focus on getting the correct edit updated once instead of 10 edits and re-edits for the same road and see which lucky edit gets updated.

Wise thing to do is " IF NOT BROKEN , DON'T FIX ".

On 29 Oct while checking out a problem, discover this below ... road alignment is out and directional arrow is wrong.

Today checking back again found the exclamation mark gone but problem didn't solved.

I also realize the special Taxi Driveway i added barely 5 days ago was updated by chang3 , just in case if chang3 or any editors reading this, do not change again as that road is not service rd and only permissible to Taxi and i'll like to check the new update next month if TaxiWay got different color as not many such roads in SG.

So in the end i have to reset the mis-alignment and directional arrows since map king is no where found when problem arises either created by he himself or didn't know what to solve but update for fun.
End result after i edit shld look like this .....come and edit here again and deserve another round of whacking.

Even for near Toa Payoh Rise area till now still existed problems as i can see arrows to carpark is wrong and my edit had being tempered with again.
I no eyes to see anymore, got problem pls PM digitium directly.

Trial and Error works too, but it takes more time.
the age-old adage of "Do it Once but Do it Right" holds true.

That's precisely why i chose to post.
Exactly, nobody's perfect we're all to learn ... i really don't mind if someone points out my mistakes.
The Taxiway i will check it out again.

But why is it that the antagonist of this whole thing can assumed he's got the right to dominate the whole editing process, creating one after another routing problems and depriving other editors of their usage.
If his mistakes is not being pointed out, how will he learn i ask of you ??
If learning to live with bullying is what u're suggesting, than please don't interfere.

Simply because not many are active in forum so he's got rights to bully the rest of editors who didn't voice out.
The thing he does is not personal anymore as it affects the community of editors and users here.
Map problems don't post forum for discussion than do you expect me to call the police ???
Or fight outside of forum .... what kinda proposal are you hinting at ????

Bickering will just divide everyone, and every editor will then just continue to apply his/her own standards anyway.
Just my 2c.
