106254495 | about 4 years ago | Hi! Did you really mean to delete all those buildings? It would be helpful if you explained your rationale/sources in the changeset comments (instead of "a" which sounds a lot like "I can't be bothered") |
106254154 | about 4 years ago | An example is right there in Norbury - osm.org/relation/2234325 |
106254154 | about 4 years ago | Hi! Electoral wards should not be tagged as boundary=administrative but boundary=political. See osm.wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dpolitical |
106171663 | about 4 years ago | Please do not change the admin boundaries. You have messed them up twice already today, and I have repaired the damage for you this time. |
103787775 | over 4 years ago | Hi! I was just wondering what the source of these neighbourhood names and boundaries was. Are they actually wards of SDC? You mention OS Boundary-Line; which data set exactly? |
103283318 | over 4 years ago | Admin/political boundaries should always be relations anyway, so even if the entire polygon was formed from a single closed way you would still put the effective tags on the relation, not on the way. Only enclaves can actually cause this - they are by definition the only cases where an area can legitimately be formed by a single way. Actually, conceptually the admin boundary relations represent the area, not the boundary; the difference is very subtle, but it is important here, as the name should go on the polygon, and not on its boundary.

103283318 | over 4 years ago | Hi! Why noname=yes? |
102430591 | over 4 years ago | please set the admin_centre of awbridge parish back to the place node. That's how it's always done, at least in the UK |
102263854 | over 4 years ago | Caution is still advised around Pestbosjes as nobody knows what is down there. However this island has been decontaminated and subsequently declared safe. If you agree that the tagging is inappropriate, I consider it inappropriate that you expect me to sort it out! |
102263854 | over 4 years ago | Hi,

102064026 | over 4 years ago | Hi,

100705524 | over 4 years ago | Hi! This is not a historic boundary, it is still current. Please change it back. |
100653444 | over 4 years ago | Hi Russ, thanks for the background. I think you are right, that the two sources should be consolidated. As long as it remains a user page it can not really be considered authoritative in any way - in its current location it is just a collection of personal notes. But it contains some well thought-out ideas, that deserve to be more out in the open instead of on a private notes page. Maybe we can encourage Robert Whittaker to propose his scheme to the community with a view to consolidating it into the wiki.
Regarding this specific tag, it seems it is used to encode 1) "maintainable at public expense" (i.e. present on the List of Streets) AND 2) unsurfaced and 3) not included on the Definitive Map (probably as a BOAT). |
100653444 | over 4 years ago | If it's really a public right of way, it will either be a public footpath or a byway. You might find some hints for tagging these here osm.wiki/Key:designation#Rights_of_way_in_England_and_Wales |
100653444 | over 4 years ago | Hi Russ,

100291730 | over 4 years ago | Thanks for responding and reverting. If you see the name appearing twice, in my experience it is sometimes/often due to some other polygon with a name, such as landuse=residential or place=village. A place (town, village, hamlet etc) is a different concept to administrative areas, so it is not necessarily wrong to have both in the data. As you mention it's definitely down to the cartographer to decide whether to use either or both. Does the "default renderer" actually do anything with the admin_centre information? I suspect not actually. In the mean time I would suggest that you might want to read up on "tagging for the renderer"... osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer |
100291730 | over 4 years ago | Hi! What's the rationale behind removing the admin_centres for these relations? Adding a label is optional, but is often ignored by renderers. But why remove the admin_centre? |
100084167 | over 4 years ago | Hi Mikhail1412,

99248883 | over 4 years ago | Hi Jim,

98714619 | over 4 years ago | Hi! What do the ref=* values on the rail tracks represent? Which authority issues and administers these? |
