gscholz (2026-01-26 08:46:10+00:00): Hi J FERALON,
your recent edit s have left behind errors in the OSM database regarding overlapping ways (blue markers):

https://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=routing&lon=-2.84069&lat=42.82344&zoom=14&baselayer=Geofabrik%20Standard&overlays=duplicated_edges

This kind of error irritates routing software and looks ugly on the maps. Can you please fix this?
Kind regards
Guido
muralito (2026-01-25 21:50:27+00:00): Hola, podes mapear lo que sea de tu interés, pero no cambiar las veredas por ciclovias. Si hay ciclovia, bicisenda o lo que sea, agregala, pero no elimines la vereda.
kapazao (2026-01-25 19:43:06+00:00): Hola compañero, antes de modificar elementos deberías informarte acerca del etiquetado de estos, ya que en este caso cambiando el etiquetado highway a residential te cargas toda la navegación y generas un problema muy grave en la ciudad. Ese etiquetado que tenía le da una prioridad de circulación a las vías, no significa que sea una carretera secundaria. Por ejemplo puedes ver cómo están otras ciudades.

Por favor si no tienes experiencia y tienes dudas no modifiques e infórmate bien, consultando la wiki por ejemplo, o pregunta antes de hacer este tipo de modificaciones.

Estos cambios serán revertidos.

Un saludo

SomeoneElse (2026-03-27 12:44:53+00:00): Hello,

Andy from OSM's Data Working Group here - we've received a complaint about this deletion.  What was added to OSM here was only what is visible from aerial imagery (that it is obviously a swimming pool, and obviously a private one).  Continuing to delete it won't work because people will just see it on aerial imagery again and re-add it.

If you don't want your pool to appear on aerial imagery please contact the relevant providers.  Alternatively, you could perhaps consider trying to camouflage it?

Best Regards,
Andy
mvn28 (2026-03-27 13:13:42+00:00): Hello,

i guess you're joking - camouflage....if you tell me when the next satellite photo will be taken, I'll surely have it covered...
Furthermore, and repeating myself, there's no visible pool on the photo in osm, you must have taken the Google ones for vectoring. And where are the other private pools in that area?? none is marked as such, but all are visible on the satellite photos.
You wrote, there was a complaint, can you please forward the name and address of that person, so I can contact directly...
All in all I am very disappointed about your interpretation of privacy. I usually support open software, but this is not protecting my interests.
BR, Markus

RafaBoski (2026-01-26 19:22:08+00:00): Czy mógłbym wiedzieć, dlaczego pousuwałeś wiaty przystankowe?
Kris74M (2026-01-26 20:09:59+00:00): Hejka. Usuwam wiaty przystankowe "zasłaniające" przystanki. Tagi wiaty przystankowej/schronienia są zawarte w tagowaniu przystanków.
RafaBoski (2026-01-27 13:35:03+00:00): Okej, jak coś to poprawiłem kilka tagów, bo w dwóch przystankach była wiata, ale kawałek obok, a było ustawione jako jej brak.
Kris74M (2026-01-27 14:47:10+00:00): Pewnie chodzi o Trębaczew. Ja tam celowo nie zaznaczałem wiaty w tagach przystanku, bo one są dość daleko od przystanku. wiaty chyba były osobno zaznaczone na mapie

Jnrf (2026-02-03 20:38:43+00:00): Thanks for pointing this out. I was too quick on changing it. 

The iD-editor suggested removing the shop=yes tag in favour of a branch-tag. The shop=yes wiki page recommends mapping shops as separate objects in the case of amenity=fuel, and I guess that it is something that can be done.

I will revert it for now.

Welcome to OSM and thank you for your contribution.
A couple of pointers for the future
Roundabouts are tagged as junction=roundabout, there is no need to add oneway tags.
The spurs maintain the highway classification, they should not be tagged as _link.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers Phil
Wanderer2000 (2026-01-26 22:26:54+00:00): Hoi Taurus, 
Dit lijkt me niet helemaal goed. Je kunt de access tags beter op de weg zetten, ipv op de node met de camera. Verder, 1. psv slaat in osm ook op taxi's, maar omdat in dit geval alleen lijnbussen zijn toegestaan is hier bus=yes correct.
2. Volgens jouw bron zijn brom- en snorfietsers toegestaan. Waarom verwijder je de tag mofa=yes?
3. Toegang voor vergunninghouders tag je met access=permit. access=permissive wordt gebruikt voor privegrond die opengesteld is voor publiek.

Ik heb het een en ander weer aangepast. Graag voortaan wat zorgvuldiger te werk gaan.

Groetjes Wanderer

Rogoyski (2026-03-27 21:12:51+00:00): Jakie jest źródło nazwy "Wodozbiór "Świątynia Vesty""? I dlaczego name różni się od name:pl?

To, że obiekt jest wzorowany na świątyni nie oznacza, że sam określany jest tym mianem. Moim zdaniem w użyciu jest po prostu określenie Wodozbiór, które samo ociera się o bycie nazwą pospolitą.
Yukiro (2026-03-29 13:51:59+00:00): Jest w obiekcie podane źródło (dokładniej karty zabytku)
Rogoyski (2026-03-29 14:07:57+00:00): Jeśli chodzi o stronę [https://zabytek.pl/pl/obiekty/warszawa-wodozbior] i załączone na niej karty dokumentacyjne, to raczej nie wynika z tego w sumie, że "Świątynia Vesty" czy też "Westy" jest nazwą tego obiektu. 
Nazwa ta została użyta tylko w karcie białej bez mała 60 lat temu i to w nieortograficznym zapisie przez "V", co samo w sobie każe podchodzić ostrożnie do tego źródła.  Źródło nadrzędne, czyli sama strona zabytek.pl nie posługuje się tą nazwą, wyjaśniając słusznie, że jest to po prostu obiekt inspirowany Świątynią Westy w Tivoli.

Jeśli liczne źródła mówią A, a tylko jedno mówi B, raczej należy założyć, że B się myli. Tak jak pisałem, o obiekcie tym mówi się jako o "Wodozbiorze" w Ogrodzie Saskim albo o "Wodozbiorze (wodociągu) Marconiego". "Encyklopedia Warszawy" (PWN, 1975) pisze w haśle Ogród Saski o "Wieży Ciśnień w formie świątyni w Tivoli proj. H. Marconiego).
Lokai (2026-02-01 08:19:49+00:00): Hallo,

das von dir benannte Felsenköpchen (Quelle?) ist bei Kletteren als Simter Türmchen bekannt. Willst du das bei der Namensgebung bitte berücksichtigen.

Nach welcher Katasterkarte hast du kartiert? Ist die mitlerweile online erreichbar? Diese Quelle könnten auch andere nutzen. Ich ganz gerne, denn es gibt durchaus eine Erlaubnis für OSM.
Da gibt möglicherweise noch einige Objekte, die gefunden werden können.

Gruß
L.
Interteutones (2026-02-01 08:38:23+00:00): Hallo Lokai.

Eine Bezeichnung als "Simter Türmchen" ist mir nicht bekannt. Ich bin kein Kletterer. Den Namen habe ich nach aktuellen Recherchen auch nirgends gefunden. Das Objekt hat in der Vergangenheit auch in OSM wohl nie diese Bezeichnung gehabt. Ich habe unlängst zu der Anlage auf dem kleinen Berg Recherchen angestellt und mich dabei mit Kennern der Materie unterhalten. Von diesen Personen stammt die Bezeichnung Felsenköpfchen, welche ich dahin dem Berg zugeschrieben habe. 

Ich nutze die u.a. hier die bei OSM allgemein zugänglichen Quellen wie Cadastre oder ALKIS.
Grüße, I
Lokai (2026-02-01 09:17:19+00:00): Ok, danke.

Ich kenne eine ganze Reihe von Felsen ,auch welche mit unterschiedlichen Namen, die auf einer Seite der Kletterszene benannt sind. Hier ein Beispiel, dass verschiedene Namen nicht falsch sein brauchen. Ich habe die Seite vor langer Zeit gefunden. Das Simter Türmchen habe durch schlichte Suche bei einer Suchmaschine heute gefunden. Die mir bekannte Seite wurde unter den Treffern genannt.

Ich werde am Objekt eine Änderung vornehmen.

Gruß
Interteutones (2026-02-01 09:34:19+00:00): Hallo, bitte lasse den von mir eingetragenen Namen stehen.
Meine Begründung habe ich dir genannt. Auch dass es vorher dort keinen Namen gab. Wenn ein Kletterer nun im Nachhinein das Objekt nach Gutdünken benennt ist das kein Grund zur Änderung. Stell dir das mal allgemein vor. Der nächste Drachenflieger nennt den Berg dann "Flugberg" etc. Das geht nicht. 
Gruss, I
Lokai (2026-02-01 17:18:23+00:00): Hallo,

ich habe eine Änderung vorgenommen. Ich habe deine Recherche nicht in Frage gestellt. Solche Befragungen führe ich ebenfalls durch und hatte nicht die Absicht den Namen Felsenköpfchen zu entfernen. Ich schrieb, dass es für Objekte unterschiedliche Namen geben kann. So ist es hier.

Gruß
L.
Interteutones (2026-02-02 10:26:33+00:00): Hallo,

Baloo Uriza (2026-01-30 16:08:59+00:00): Generally a good idea to also include the street name on sidewalks; this aids (especially blind) pedestrians by giving street names in turn by turn walking directions.

smallCat (2026-01-26 03:49:10+00:00): 街道办附近的place点是否更适合作为admin_centre而不是label? 比如说关山街道的街道办甚至在街道范围以外，以这个位置作为label是否不太合适
Higashimado (2026-01-26 05:15:28+00:00): 呃，对于后一个问题我也是感觉很纠结的，具体到关山街道这个例子上：“关山”不是没有地名属性（例如附近的关山街汽发社区等），其指代的地名恰好是在街道办附近，但又不在这个街道办的管辖范围内，这非常尴尬

我又重读了遍参考《指北》的建议，我的理解是确实应当把节点放到管辖范围内去；如果管辖范围不在地名的指代范围内，那么就不标注节点或标注不渲染的 subdistrict（之后我会做相应的修正）

不过对于前一个问题，OSM Wiki 上特定强调了 admin_centre 指代集镇，而非某个机构，因此街道的节点一般都是不适合作为 admin_centre 的

Enock4seth (2026-01-26 15:02:41+00:00): Hi, you should first download existing data before adding new ones to avoid duplicates.

It is important to add a primary tag to features before uploading, also pay attentions to JOSM validations and warnings about untagged features before hitting the Upload button. 

Here is an introduction to JOSM https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Introduction

And if you need to find out what tag works for what, here is an extensive list https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features

You can also ask on Ghana OpenStreetMap related forums and mailing list how to map Feature A or B if you are not sure.

If you are still not sure what OpenStreetMap is about see https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/
Enock4seth (2026-01-26 15:06:01+00:00): I have deleted duplicates from this changeset and tagged untagged features.

Please do not use the name=path or descriptions for names. This is the name of the features as they are on the ground.
b-jazz (2026-01-30 17:01:43+00:00): Hi Wayne,

Thanks for working to improve golf courses on OpenStreetMap. But I wanted to let you know of a small problem with the work you did on a couple of holes. If you look at the fairway on the second hole here, you brought the fairway right up to the green, but then you overlapped the green by only sharing a few of the nodes. You need to share all of the nodes at the border. Thanks.

I'm going to leave this "broken" now in case you want to see it and fix it up yourself. If you're too busy, don't worry about it and I'll get to it in the next week during regular golf clean-ups.

OSMUK Cadastral Parcels give edges for splitting houses into terraces (as there is a lot of here), Open UPRN has a point generally in the centre of each building that links it to a UPRN (but with no other details), then ONS NSPL links the UPRN to a postcode (and various statistical identifiers that I don't use). A visual check that the postcode is the same for a single street gives the street name for the house, and allows any anomalies (generally a street name transition in the wrong place) to be investigated using OpenMap Local or Open USRN (though if OpenMap Local isn't clear). Postal towns then come from a lookup of the first part postcode, which I've created by looking at existing data in OSM and checking in other open sources where necessary.

thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.

I’m by no means a legal expert, but I was wondering whether the OGL is actually compatible with OSM’s ODbL license?

In addition, I’d be interested in your view on how useful it is to store external reference IDs directly in OSM. In Germany this has only worked to a limited extent in one case, and in other cases I remember more critical voices than supporters when similar references were discussed.

Best regards,
Pascal
