nach welcher Quelle hast du die Position der Nodes
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/282572788, 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/282572793
und
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/282572797
abgeleitet?

Ich bin gerade dabei anhand der relativ neu freigegebenen Alkisdaten den verrohrten Verlauf genauer darzustellen. Nördlich der Bahn kann man anhand der Grundstücksgrenzen sowohl den alten als auch den neuen, verrohrten Verlauf erkennen. Südlich der Bahnstrecke lässt sich aber leider nur der ehemalige Verlauf gut erkennen.

Gruß,
BS
pl4nkton (2020-09-27 20:44:40+00:00): Hallo BS,
ich war damals mit dem Rad unterwegs und hatte nach der Tour die beiden Stücke verbunden da ich gesehen hatte das der Bach dort durch ein Rohr verläuft.
Der Verlauf war leider nur geschätzt.

Schöne Grüße

user_5359 (2022-03-11 18:59:15+00:00): Hello! Please have a look on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/26481235/history. You add the tag streetlight = yes. Does this have the same meaning as lit=yes?
Johnny Carlsen (2022-03-14 04:23:28+00:00): Yes, that should have been lit=yes
Mammi71 (2024-04-03 20:57:26+00:00): Hallo Tensor, ist zwar schon 15 Jahreher, aber Du hattest damals an der Karlshöhe (https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/322604735/history#map=19/48.78928/9.37635) ein ele=422 gemappt. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich zwei weitere ele mit 414 und 434 m - das ist sehr ungewöhnlich. Kannst Du Dich zufälligerweise erinnern, wie Du vor 15Jahren die 422m ermittelt hast? Du scheinst auch weiterhin in der Gegend aktiv zu mappen, oder?
Gruß
Der Mammi
Tensor (2024-04-05 08:26:25+00:00): Hallo Mammi71, erinnern kann ich mich nicht. Ich vermute aber, dass ich die Höhe am GPS abgelesen habe, da das ele an einer Bank gemappt wurde. Daher ist die Angabe wohl ungenau. 414m scheint mir definitiv zu niedrig. Bei Gelegenheit kann ich mir die Situation vor Ort nochmals anschauen (evtl. finde ich Höhenangaben), da ich in der Nähe wohne und daher in dieser Gegend hin und wieder mappe.
Viele Grüße
Tensor
Mammi71 (2024-04-05 21:10:27+00:00): Hallo Tensor, danke für Deine Rückmeldung. Ich hatte so eine GPS-Messung schon vermutet, wobei die 422 vmtl. schon recht nah dran sind.
Wahrscheinlich fahre demnächst, wenn ich Zeit habe vll. schon am Sonntag, dort ne Runde mit dem Rad. Ist ja von Schorndorf nicht so weit...
Zwischenstop am geodätischen Referenzpunkt und den barometrischen Höhenmesser an der Uhr kalibrieren.

Anu_Zade (2019-06-28 23:02:28+00:00): Hi StellanL,
I was working on editing https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/392620051 and saw that it intersected this building https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27132458. After further review it looks like in this change-set the building (way 27132458) was created with (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27132423). These seem like duplicates, with one having more detail than the other.  After asking DannyAiquipa, they said to ask the oldest user how to go about fixing what seems like duplicate buildings with one of them intersecting a road. 

I would love to fix these duplicate buildings, but wanted to confirm these errors with you.

Happy Mapping, 
Anu
StellanL (2019-06-29 10:59:23+00:00): Well, that takes me back... Clearly my version of IKEA was based on bad imagery. As it had no address or anything, I deleted it and fixed up the newer one on the SW corner. Thanks for asking!

dieterdreist (2022-01-02 10:51:09+00:00): Ciao Francesco,
mi rendo conto, sono passati 13 anni ;-)
Ti vorrei comunque segnalare che access=no per le strade riservato agli autobus non è giusto in questo caso (come quasi mai lo è), esempio way 22716413, perché la strada è accessibile ai pedoni (sul marciapiede). In generale è quasi sempre meglio vehicle=no invece di access=no, per non dimenticarsi i pedoni.
(Immagino da esperto che sei, non ti racconto niente di nuovo)
Buon anno nuovo!

orthocircular (2021-06-05 00:10:50+00:00): I know it's a looooong time ago but do you have any objection to me removing names/descriptions from drive-thrus and driveways? It "looks" like there are roads named stuff like Dairy Queen Drive-thru and Capitol Market (Road) but they're really just slightly overzealous naming.

Nic727 (2021-03-17 22:09:20+00:00): What is the commercial land at Keflavik airport? I personally think it's a bit useless and should be removed.
sladen (2021-03-18 14:01:23+00:00): Hello Nic727, there are two large polygon areas at the north side of the airport:

* https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22561077

`landuse=commercial` which appears to be a rough outline of the the "customer"/"passenger" areas; and:

* https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22561078

with `landuse=industrial` which appears to be the "cargo"/"non-passenger" areas.

Many other people have edited/refined those polygon outlines since they were created (over 10 years ago), which probably indicates that they are useful.

My strong advice would be to consider leaving these as-is.
Irma IRM-ED (2022-12-21 00:20:36+00:00): Hi stephankn.

Warin61 (2017-01-07 22:20:51+00:00): Cliff's Trail appears on the LIP Base Map as Cliffs Trail .. and as a track rather than a footway. How is your memory? Is it wide enough for a car to fit down (4WD accepted)? If it is that wide then it is a track. The LPI Base Map also shows it extending further south, I have added that bit.
macAlba (2017-01-08 00:38:44+00:00): Yes, you're quite correct. It was a vehicle 4WD track at the time we walked it - I've no idea what it's current condition is though.  If I had to guess I'd say it's maintained as a fire trail.
Constable (2017-09-01 14:40:56+00:00): ciao, vedo che hai inserito la via da tanti anni ma sei sicuro che questa http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/31579414 sia davvero via Vivaldi?

Dann ist aber motorcar=no und motorcycle=no getaggt. Ich vermute, dass eigentlich motorcar=destination, motorcycle=destination gilt. Ist das so? Kannst du dich noch daran erinnern? Auch wenn das Rendering z.B. bei Mapnik nur access=* verarbeitet, würde ich die Lösung in der nur noch motorcar,motorcycle getaggt wird wesentlich besser finden.

Robhubi (inaktiv) (2019-11-10 19:15:28+00:00): Hallo kig8472, 
der Radweg "Stift Rein" ist in Gratwein ident mit den R56 (in OSM). Der R56 wurde wegen Einführung von Einbahnen verlegt. In OSM sollte das nachgezogen werden. Trifft das auch auf die Route "Stift Rein" zu? Ich bin die Route vor kurzem gefahren, R56- und Alpentour--Schilder habe ich gesehen, aber keine "Stift Rein". Was sollen wir mit dieser Relation machen?
LG Robert
kig8472 (2019-11-11 13:00:14+00:00): Servus Robert,

puh, das ist 11 Jahre her... ;)

Ich kann mich ehrlichgesagt nicht mal mehr erinnern, dass ich den Radweg eingetragen habe (ist aber lt. History so).

Wenn du sagst, dass es da heute keine Schilder mehr gibt, die auf diese Route hinweisen, wird es wohl den Radweg  nimmer geben -> kann also m.E. guten Gewissens weg!

Liebe Grüße,
Gert
Robhubi (inaktiv) (2019-11-12 17:28:15+00:00): Hakllo Gert,

Thank you and happy mapping!
mueschel (2025-12-28 11:37:50+00:00): Hi,
it looks like you added "STAG_ADMIN:*" and "STAG_BUILT:*" tags to some highways almost two decades ago. Is there any use for these tags nowadays or can they be removed?
e.g. 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/74810763
blackadder (2025-12-28 13:43:16+00:00): Yep, back in the early days of forming tagging schema. No longer needed and can safely be deleted.

redd (2024-06-01 12:01:35+00:00): Hi Michi,
grossartig, dass du nach 15 Jahren noch fast immer täglich zu OpenStreetMap beiträgst.

Kannst du doch noch grob erinnern, was du mit building:levels:mezzanine gemeint hast?

Siehe: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/31695512/history

Leider habe ich keine Dokumentation gefunden und das Tag wird kaum benutzt. 

Vielen Dank,

Redd!
Michi (2024-06-01 12:29:49+00:00): Moin Redd,

ah, meine alte Wirkungsstätte!

Ehrlich gesagt kann ich Dir nicht mehr sagen, was mit dem Tag gemeint ist. Das Gebäude hat zwei "Stockwerke", die eigentliche Maschinenhalle (der "erste Stock") ist von Osten aus gesehen ebenerdig erreichbar, während das "Erdgeschoss" mit der Azubi-Werkstatt und Lagerräumen von Westen aus ebenerdig erreichbar ist. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, das der Tag damit was zu tun hat... 

Jedenfalls 15 Jahre später würde ich den Tag auch löschen...

Grüße,
Michi
redd (2024-06-01 13:26:51+00:00): Auf jeden Fall sieht man mal, wie man sich vor 15 Jahren so ausgetobt hat!

Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Ich habe das building:levels:mezzanine nun entfernt!

Polarbear-repair (2017-07-09 10:01:40+00:00): Hallo osmwandl, du hattest hier vor 8 Jahren einer 4,7 Quadratkilometer grossen Fläche den Namen "Neue Wiesen" gegeben: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28361276/history
Diese ist dann später in ein MP einbezogen worden, und im Berliner Teil ist bis auf die Wege alles wieder ausgestanzt. 
Kannst du noch nachvollziehen, woher der Name "Neue Wiesen" für die grosse Fläche kommt? Ich habe Kartenarchive bis  1860 zurück gewälzt und kann den Namen  nicht finden. 
Lediglich der kleine Stadtrandpark, der 1998 angelegt wurde, und den ich jetzt hier gezeichnet habe, heisst so: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/506190818
Der ist aber nur 12 ha klein (0,12 qkm)
Polarbear (2017-07-15 17:12:34+00:00): Ich habe das jetzt per CS 50309693 aufgelöst.

Mateusz Konieczny (2017-12-20 12:14:56+00:00): What "(historical)" in https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/356517631 means? Is it a mistaken import of no longer existing school?
iandees (2017-12-20 15:37:08+00:00): Yes, this was an import from many years ago. The data came from GNIS (http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic) and they include data for some places that don't exist. If you don't see any record of the school on satellite or locally, then please feel free to delete it.
freebeer (2017-12-20 18:14:14+00:00): or at least mark it as disused.
I know it's not the remit of OSM, but it's fun for me to navigate through an area in an editor, stumble across points that bear no resemblance to the background reality, thereby at least learning a bit of the history, imagining life in the past, and best of all, taking a break from mapping to research the POI, learn its history and importance (destroyed by fire? flood? oh neat) and perhaps more about the area and its history.  But best of all, being distracted from mapping for a few hours.
Mateusz Konieczny (2018-05-31 20:48:17+00:00): Is it safe to assume that all that were imported with "(historical)" in name were not existing at time of import?
Mateusz Konieczny (2018-10-18 09:59:07+00:00): I tracked down answer - https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq - What does "(historical)" following a feature name mean? "A feature with "(historical)" following the name no longer exists and is no longer visible on the landscape. Examples: a dried up lake, a destroyed building, a hill leveled by mining. The term makes no reference to the age, size, population, use, or any other aspect of the feature. A ghost town, for example, is not a historical feature if it is still visible. Valid features are never removed from the database, but become historical if they no longer exist. The GNIS is unique in containing such features, and additional data concerning historical features based on authenticated documentation are welcome."

I am planning to delete all such nonexisting objects that were added using imports, especially ones mistagged as existing objects.
Mateusz Konieczny (2019-02-11 13:29:33+00:00): initial query build to detect subset of objects that should be deleted as known to be nonexisting and despite that imported: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/FYC
Mateusz Konieczny (2019-03-18 17:31:10+00:00): http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/H7K is simpler and still renderable in the browser
Mateusz Konieczny (2019-03-19 21:22:38+00:00): I started preparing large-scale removal of misimported objects.

Documentation is starting at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/remove_objects_that_are_no_existing_according_to_source_of_import_that_added_them

KieranConor (2021-08-30 14:13:56+00:00): Hi, the marker is a few hundred feet off, but this building does exist. But it's a residence nowadays, not a school. A man's grandmother from down the street had attended here years ago. Also, after it was converted to a residence, a fairly famous feminist book was written here. 
I'm not sure what criteria markers need to fit, or what makes it historic enough to include. Just wanted to give some info about this one. Thanks

Thanks!
iandees (2017-12-01 17:32:55+00:00): Hi Constable. That node was part of an import of USGS data from over 8 years ago. If you can find a better place for it then please move it.
Constable (2017-12-01 17:58:32+00:00): Hi, no, I don't have any local knowledge and I can't find any better place for it, but I think having this thing here is quite deceiving. I wrote you because I was hoping you had some more knowledge about that, and then we could move it where it belongs. Anyway, it's not a big deal.
Thanks
freebeer (2017-12-01 19:35:59+00:00): Ciao Constable,
I see our (my adopted) Kimberly troll has you doing QA and discovering the pitfalls of GNIS imported data.
My suggestion is to treat GNIS data with suspicion.  There is a diary post of a month or so ago, where the inaccuracy of the data is mentioned, plus, much data is long-obsolete historical data in addition to errors in location.
Here you see something I witnessed in Nebraska, where the amenity (or four amenities there) are given the identical geo coördinates, here the ghost or abandoned town, there a place almost on the railroad tracks.
The data can probably be deleted (or better lifecycle-prefixed), though I would myself allow the better part of a few hours to view aerial imageries and perform g00gle text searches to try and familiarise meself with the area (plummeting my productivity into the gutter where it belongs).
As we are both armchair mappers/fixers within Europe (I am assuming) I hope the additional info on GNIS and similar imports can be useful -- it took many months before I dared to touch TIGER imported road data, when even today I'd rather keep my hands clean of that or any remote road data.
grazie e ciao!
iandees (2017-12-01 19:38:36+00:00): Are you referring to me as a "Kimberly troll"? That's rather odd. Or is there someone else out there asking you to do this work?
