Hi Anonix35!

I did not mean to offend you.

Let me try to explain:

For this changeset, I had been mapping from aerial imagery.

So, if you say that you "just removed" that drag lift, it would appear to every other mapper using similar aerial imagery like it had not been mapped before. (As I am currently mainly mapping power lines in this region, it would be a normal case that something is not yet mapped.)

So, almost naturally, we find conflicting information: "deleted because assuming outdated" versus "mapped again because of assuming previously unmapped". To avoid those, I tend to use lifecycle prefixes for tagging [1].

I am not quite sure about which drag-lift we are talking, and what my changes were. Maybe you could add a link?
I usually add `fixme` or `note` tags when things are unclear to me.

Is it this one? <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1346119158>

If so, and depending the reason why you had deleted the drag-lift from OSM, we could change its `aerialway` tag with right the life cycle prefix, so that other mappers know right away.

If the lift is disused: `disused:aerialway=drag_lift`, or if it is razed: `razed:aerialway=drag_lift`, etc.

Let me know what's the state of the lift, then I'll fix the tag!


Best,
