QueenofMaps (2014-12-15 15:46:15+00:00): Whoever is Little Brother, you are seriously messing with people who are actually trying to map. You are putting random points down and just making a mess. It is bad enough that the loading is taking forever, so if you would kindly just move places. There is at least one group that is being graded on the quality of our mapping, and you are really going to mess up our grades.

aceman444 (2014-12-26 23:54:14+00:00): Dobry den, prosim preco ste zduplikovali Pecniansky les (este k tomu s preklepom), ked uz zakresleny je, ako objekt "way 24898528"? Ak jeho obrysy neboli aktualne, nestacilo ich upravit? Prosim opravte to (zrusenim Vasho objektu a opravenim toho povodneho, aby sa zachovala historia). Dakujem.
SomeoneElse (2014-12-15 21:51:43+00:00): Hi - just spotted the changeset comment.  The normal way of defining access to bits of road is with "access tags" - see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access for details.  If http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/296533313 isn't accessible to motor_vehicles then you could add the tag "motor_vehicle" with the value "no".  You could also add "emergency=yes" if emergency vehicles are allowed.  You may also want to add tags for "foot" and "bicycle".  The default on a residential road will be "yes" for all of these unless you specifically add tags to change it.
hadw (2015-01-18 18:36:21+00:00): Google Street View must not be used as a source for OSM.

The access restriction is already mapped on the bollard.  There is no need for anything else, with the exception that it should have emergency=yes, rather than a note about emergency access.

Unless there is signage that indicates that the stub roads are restricted, they should not, themselves be restricted.  In this case, even if there are signs, I think there is no need to map them, as no properly working router is going to route that way, and no one is likely to get prosecuted if they do go up to the barrier.

Conversely, as the bollard allows bicycles, the restriction should be a qualified one, and exclude bicycles (and emergency vehicles).

CloCkWeRX (2016-02-18 02:32:13+00:00): http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/317410025/history causes a lot of errors in keepright - is this better modelled as highway=proposed or not even as a highway at all (just part of a relation)?

fbello (2016-02-19 00:53:32+00:00): This unbuilt part of the route (using tag=dummy) is important to periodically check the relations of national routes for inconsistencies. highway=proposed may be rendered in some maps, which is not the intent. The errors in keepright can probably be avoided by adding a layer tag with an unused layer (say layer=-9). I will try that to see if it fixes the error.
fbello (2016-02-19 00:59:48+00:00): added layer=-5 instead

muralito (2014-12-16 00:59:36+00:00): Es algo discutible. Las manzanas dibujadas como vias representan las manzanas en si mismas.

O sea la representacion anterior puede ser (en teoria) es mas exacta.

I noticed that you changed http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3221789040/history from "highway=gate" to "barrier=gate".  Did you aso mention it to the person who mapped it in the first place?  If they don't know that people now use "barrier=gate" instead of "highway=gate", they may add more...

Best Regards,

Piz Pachific (2014-12-18 13:42:27+00:00): Hi Andy
That's correct and no I haven't mention yet, because I don't want to criticize them due to one little "error". When I see, that this wasn't a one-time thing, then, and only then, I would contact this user. Otherwise I'd have more work to write them, then to correct. An other point is, that incorrect didactics quickly someone feels attacked and thus may lose his motivation.
Sincerely, Chrigi

mayorgatellez (2014-12-17 15:22:53+00:00): The changeset comment is wrong. It's supposed to be what's in the source tag:

Also, I forgot to mention I removed Hospital Velez Paiz, which has been torn down and closed recently.
SomeoneElse (2014-12-17 22:37:29+00:00): Is the oneway through the rest area at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/317480755 the right way around?  Indonesia's a drive-on-the-left country (as you can see from the nearby motorway) yet the oneway direction on the rest area service roads seem to suggest drive-on-the-right.

GOwin (2014-12-16 08:24:23+00:00): Good work!. Thanks for adding new features to OpenStreetMap.

I fixed some of the features you added. For example, when adding fish ponds, you don't need to put "fishpond" as a name. You can use the following tags instead:
landuse=pond
natural=water
water=pond
livestock=fish

With regard to rice fields,  you may use the following tags:
crop=rice
landuse=farmland
farm=flooded_crops

And you don't have to put "ricefield" as a name either.

More descriptive comments to changesets would be nice, too.

Feel free to ask or post any questions via:

Len par poznamok:
- pre webstranku objektu sa pouziva kluc 'website', nie 'www'. Ak to nie je vlastna stranka objektu (ktoru napr. vytvoril vlastnik), ale nejaka ina co tiez o objekte pise, potom 'url'.
- viacnasobne hodnoty oddeluju bodkociarkou, takze 'cuisine=regional;pizza'.
- tie poznamky v opening_hours su zvlastne ale momentalne nemam ziadny navrh, ako by to bolo lepsie.

Ak by to bolo pre Vas mozne, skuste pouzivat editor JOSM (http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download). Ten vie niektore tieto chyby aj automaticky odhalit a upozorni vas na ne. Je po slovensky.

Minh Nguyen (2015-01-09 10:34:32+00:00): These place nodes shouldn’t have been promoted to place=town. As documented at <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>, the rule of thumb is to use place=town where the population is 10,000 or more. I’ve also been promoting county seats with only a few thousand residents to place=town since they’re just as significant. But promoting every place name to a town makes the map cluttered and inaccurate – Yankee Town doesn’t even seem to be more than a place=isolated_dwelling.

Es könnten genauso Brüchen oder einfach Flussdurchgänge(ford=yes) sein.

speziell http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/317550340 ist sicher kein tunnel=yes da man anhand von Bing erkennen kann, dass die Straße in dieser kurve eine Brücke hat und die von dir eingezeichnete Mauer höchstwahrscheinlich eine Balkensperre oder Konsolidierungssperre ist.

2. other tags modified : just few errors/warnings reported by JOSM that I have corrected (missing protocol for URLs : added http://…)

3. I'am not a bot, just a real — an imperfect — human ;-)
aseerel4c26 (2014-12-17 15:12:03+00:00): "that have already shop=*"  is a very useful info. Thanks, that you made it more detailed now. Without this restriction your edit would be clearly not welcome. 

"wiki seem to be clear ?" Do you mean those "fixme" boxes at the bottom? Those boxes do not call for automated edits (which a search-replace for many objects is). It seems you have misunderstood them.

Note that the JOSM validator just does suggestions what *may* be wrong. It is still your task to ensure that it really is wrong. Also you should not blindly apply its automatic fixes to a large number of objects like here.

I see that I linked not the best page above. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct or https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy is better. A discussion before such an edit is required to make sure that such an edit is really wanted by the community and to ensure that the edit algorithm (your overpass query and search-replace terms) are accurate. Yes, of course you are not a bot, but your edit could is done as if you were a bot - there is no difference, if you do not look at every single of those over thousand objects.


Now, is there still a problem? I am not sure. Of course, a problem is that there was not a discussion before your automated mass edit. Regarding the actual edit content: I am not very pleased with this (although I appreciate your intention to cleanup). There may be reasons where mappers intentionally used the amenity=shop tag in addition to shop=blafoo. For example you would not have seen any note-Tags (or even changeset comments) by these users. So I would tend to revert it, but I would like to hear other people's opinions.

Personally I can see no logical reason to use both. 

pyrog - Overall I welcome this update, but would advise in future to break this into smaller changesets which cover smaller areas which would allow you to get in direct contact with the local community. 

Where there is resistance to doing a mass edit there are other options such as mass adding of notes to suggest local mappers make the change themselves based on local knowledge. User math1985 has done it this way with his updates to shops around the UK & Ireland
