#An accomplished set target to beat UMT queen, Valerie143 with a total edit above hers#uniquemappersteam#
Posted by Inneh Precious on 13 October 2018 in English.This was successfully accomplished on 12th October, 2018 with a total edit of 8,244 to take 2nd place in the Uniquemappersteam leader board. It took me quite some days (2 or more) to achieve this great result. I thank God Almighty for the victory.
I therefore leave with my reader these words of encouragement or motivation ‘Life isn’t what you’re given, it is what you create , what you conquer and what you aim to achieve’ and Confucius will say ”The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones”.

Don’t get too taken up by leaderboards. They’re fun, but if you’re “mapping for the leaderbord” your mapping quality is likely to lower, because you’re optimizing for that leaderboard’s metrics (typically number of objects edited) instead of map quality and maintainability (which often involves limiting the number of objects).
I’m not saying that you actually fell into that trap (I didn’t check), but I see a high risk of it when I read this diary.
Also, please put individual comments in your chanesets to briefly describe what you did. Changeset comments are human reviewers first, stats collection second (if at all).

I don’t see a ‘leaderboard’ as a great thing. They encourage making lots of changes/additions, but not quality of the resulting map.
Note that I am not taking of the correct tagging and/or syntax, but rather the conformity of the map to the ground truth. Does the map represent what is there well?
