Do you have tile caching? It just feels like I’m waiting for tiles to render and as I’m looking at the area around your link would have expected things to feel a bit quicker.

I was going to make a similar suggestion to TomH but with the two names the other way around (assuming you’d also have tourism=attraction on there, so the name would be the name of the attraction).

Try the instructions in the FAQ on the wiki

Your diary entry reminds me of my brief visit to MK. I was cycling one path alongside a river which might have been in Ouzel Valley Park when the second of the screws holding my GT-31 on the handlebars escaped due to the vibrations (I hadn’t noticed the first one go) and my GPS went bouncing off along the path. I still use it now (and have a replacement bicycle mount). After making the earlier mistake I remembered a tip the local pet shop gave me after I bought about 5 of those little screw together canisters for cat collars to put in contact and vet details - put a bit of nail varnish on the thread as it doesn’t come undone without a little bit of force. The GT-31 mount now has dark blue nail varnish across the screws (the cat has managed to lose the entire collar, but I suspect the cylinder is still intact).

I believe it is too late to restore the data as there are so many people remapping affected areas already; restoring now might lead to duplicate items, which will only become more likely as time passes. When I have odd moments I am helping with some of the tasks shown at http://rebuild.poole.ch/ to help with the remapping exercise.

I mentioned this on numbfew’s recent diary entry, but just in case did you know about http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/9 which covers Newcastle, which can be used to co-ordinate remapping, or at least cover the area fairly systematically. I’m afraid for the squares I’ve been given I can only trace the missing roads from aerial imagery, but hopefully this will help when you come to add names back.

You might or might not know about http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/9 which covers Newcastle, which can be used to co-ordinate remapping.

Not vandalised, but it had been modified previously by someone who didn’t agree to the new licence, and the Redaction Bot has removed their contributions. See for example this way: osm.org/browse/way/18677320

As well as the page Sanderd17 mentions you might also like to see the page about fixing TIGER alignment but yes, discussing it on the US mailing list is probably the best place to start.

This link shows all the OSM lists. You can then click on talk-fr in the list, and then visit their archives.

If so, then it all looks OK from a quick glance, except perhaps the natural=grass area, which perhaps should be landuse=grass

Is this the area? osm.org/go/evWFmqn9–

Getting rid of the initial crud can be time consuming, but once done you can get an RSS feed for an area and keep on top of new reports.

Most of the valid reports I was getting near here were about missing speed limits, so I made an effort to add them to as many roads as possible (I have a few still to do), but this made the new bug reports even less frequent (and often still useless with no description of the issue, though I do still review the area where the bug was reported to see if there is anything obvious).

There are tags for all these items, but you might have to learn to use advanced mode in Potlatch 2 (which also lets you tag buildings as restaurants).

See for example:

amenity=fuel for gas stations osm.wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfuel

shop=department_store for department stores osm.wiki/Tag:shop%3Ddepartment_store

website= for the website osm.wiki/Key:website
(or url= - linked from above page and both widely used)

If you get another fine day (perhaps next summer now), you could take printouts of your work and write on the house numbers. I think house numbers in OSM are more useful (for routing applications say) than buildings alone are. I think another zoom level would be useful to show that much detail though. The village is looking good though (and I do think buildings add to the map)

See the Mozilla entries that have MSIE in them for Internet Explorer.

I don't use them, but was considering trying to get in touch with local historians to get them to give me approximate years of build of houses (and roads?) so I could tag them in some way to show how the town has grown over time by creating an animation from the OSM data. Perhaps built_date would be appropriate. As I've not done it yet, I've not searched to see whether there is any tag already suggested for year of build in the wiki.

What do the Tracks, Mapped and Labelled columns actually refer to? I can guess that tracks might mean that GPS traces have been uploaded for the route and Mapped is based on the length of ways added to the relation, but labelled? I had assumed that the single % column in the other table was the equivalent of the Mapped column only.

I can't find amenity=winery in the wiki, though there is a dormant proposal for man_made=winery. It isn't a term I've come across so looked it up in wikipedia and it looks to me to be the building where the wine is made which may or may not be located in its own vineyard (see landuse=vineyard, which is rendered as here osm.org/go/0EFyg64fy- ). So for winery areas I'd be tempted to add the building=yes tag, and it should then render appropriately. Can't help with nodes though ;)

Or even source:name=OS_OpenData_Locator, sorry...
