Notability template[edit]

I was not able to find "reliable secondary sources" for JOSM. Looks like this editor is mentioned only in OSM ecosystem (and I put as many different links from this ecosystem as possible), because it's used as internal tool for contributors. Yet it's one of the most important OSM-related software (and has for example 9 other language versions in Wikipedia), so I guess the notability template should be removed. - kocio (talk) 04:37, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

While in general factual, the last sentance seems to be extremly biased "The software lends itself to more serious work with the OpenStreetMap data, like imports[16]." not only is the seriousness of work clearly indpendent of the tool used to perform it, "imports" are not more or less serious than any other work in OSM. I would suggest striking the sentance. SimonPoole (talk) 09:26, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was merely trying to include that reference to get rid of the notability template. Feel free to rewrite that sentence or remove it, but keep the reference. What I meant is that doing an import of that scale in a reasonable timeframe would have been an impossible endeavour. On the other hand, I agree the TIGER import wasn't the best example of a successful import. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polyglot (talk • contribs) 11:29, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
