Page content created as advised on Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct#Document_and_discuss_your_plans.

Who

I, Piotr J using Overpass turbo and JOSM.

Contact

message via OSM I will be notified about incoming PMs via email and notifications in OSM editors.

What

On the area of Poland removing addr:city=* where it duplicates addr:place=* for all addresses with addr:housenumber=*, which not contain addr:street=*. It is in line with general recommendation of addressing in Poland. In most of the cases it is standard way of addressing in villages without street names in Poland.

Why

Duplicating addr:city=* with addr:place=* is not recommended by local community in Poland. Removing duplicated tags manually where it gives no benefit is a waste of time, it is better use mapping time for something more useful.

Numbers

Over 500K cases in Poland.

How

An example ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2517128436/history ):
state before a mechanical edit:

• addr:city=Postolin
• addr:housenumber=55
• addr:place=Postolin
• addr:postcode=82-400
• source:addr=EMUIA (emuia.gugik.gov.pl)

state after a mechanical edit:

• addr:housenumber=55
• addr:place=Postolin
• addr:postcode=82-400
• source:addr=EMUIA (emuia.gugik.gov.pl)

Changeset would be described and tagged with tags that mark it as automatic and provide link to discussion approving edit. It would include at least:

• automatic=yes
• discussion_before_edits=*

Changeset split into small areas to avoid continent-sized bounding boxes.

Edits generated by JOSM.

Repetition

Redoing this edit in the future would be treated as a new mechanical edit with a new approval process.
