Hi ACon63,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! It looks like in your first four changes you accidentally moved objects from where they exist to another place. I went ahead and undid the changes--if you have any questions about how to map, don't hesitate to reach out!
Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Thank you very much for your feedback. I am talking with other users in the area and hope we can come to an amicable solution that is indeed fair and represents many sides.
Best Regards,
Ethan

Hi kyosyo,

I am adding a comment on changesets that have modified this area recently as there seems to be a dispute about naming. OSM follows a few guidelines as it relates to disputed territories, which can generally be found in http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf. Based on some research from the web, it seems that there is South Korean settlement on these islands that represents the on the ground situation.

However, names in other languages, such as name:en, should not necessarily be the simple transliteration of the word. In the case of English, wikipedia points to the name "Liancourt Rocks" as the neutral English word to refer to the islands. A good example of this naming versus transliteration issue is Japan's name. "日本" is "Nippon", yet the English language uses the name "Japan".

We should take care not to edit over each other back and forth but rather strive towards a consensus. In this case, I think with the use of "alt_name:*" tags in addition to the "name:*" tags, we can represent many of the different view points in this situation. Of course, this does not stop anyone from using the data on their own website modified as they see fit either.

My proposal is that we add the neutral names to tags such as "name:en". (The English Wikipedia in fact greatly favors the use if Liancourt Rocks when discussing this area as well as the disputed situation at hand.) Then tags such as "alt_name:en" can store transliterations. By doing so, we can represent the differing viewpoints. What are your thoughts on this?

こんにちは、

私は最近、このエリアを変更したチェンジセットに、名前付けに関する紛争があるように思われるコメントを追加しています。 OSMは、紛争地域に関連するため、いくつかのガイドラインに従います。一般にhttp://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdfに掲載されています。ウェブからのいくつかの調査に基づいて、地方の状況を表すこれらの島々には韓国の和解があるようだ。

しかし、他の言語の名前（例：name：en）は、単語の単純な翻字である必要はありません。英語の場合、ウィキペディアは中立的な英語の単語として "Liancourt Rocks"という名前を指しています。この命名と音訳の問題の良い例は、日本の名前です。 "日本"は "日本"ですが、英語は "日本"という名前です。

私たちはお互いに前後に編集するのではなく、むしろコンセンサスに向かって努力しなければならない。この場合、 "name：*"タグに加えて "alt_name：*"タグを使用すると、この状況でさまざまな視点の多くを表すことができます。もちろん、これにより、誰も自分のウェブサイト上のデータを使用することができなくなることはありません。

私の提案は、 "name：en"のようなタグにニュートラル名を追加することです。 Liancourt Rocksがこの分野について議論しているときには、Wikipediaの英語の方が実際には好意的です。 "alt_name：en"のようなタグは、翻字を保存することができます。こうすることで、異なる視点を表現することができます。これについてのあなたの考えは何ですか？

안녕하세요 orangelemonjelly,

최근에이 영역을 수정 한 changesets에 대한 주석을 추가하고 있습니다. 이름 지정에 관한 분쟁이있는 것 같습니다. OSM은 일반적으로 http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf에서 확인할 수있는 분쟁 지역과 관련된 몇 가지 지침을 따릅니다. 웹의 일부 연구를 토대로 볼 때이 섬에 한국 정착지가있어 현장 상황을 대표하는 것으로 보인다.

그러나 name : en과 같은 다른 언어의 이름은 단어의 단순한 음역 일 필요는 없습니다. 영어의 경우 wikipedia는 아일랜드를 가리키는 중립 영어 단어로 "Liancourt Rocks"라는 이름을 가리 킵니다. 이 이름 지정과 음역 문제의 좋은 예는 일본 이름입니다. "일본"은 "일본"이지만 영어는 "일본"이라는 이름을 사용합니다.

우리는 서로 앞뒤로 편집하지 말고 합의를 향해 노력해야합니다. 이 경우, "name : *"태그 이외에 "alt_name : *"태그를 사용하면이 상황에서 여러 가지 다른 관점을 나타낼 수 있다고 생각합니다. 물론, 이것은 누구도 자신들의 웹 사이트에서 데이터를 사용하는 것을 수정하지 않습니다.

내 제안은 "name : en"과 같은 태그에 중립적 인 이름을 추가하는 것입니다. Liancourt Rocks가 논쟁의 여지가있는 상황과이 영역에 대해 논의 할 때 영어권 위키 피 디아는 실제로 사용을 크게 선호합니다. "alt_name : en"과 같은 태그는 음역을 저장할 수 있습니다. 이렇게함으로써, 우리는 다른 관점을 나타낼 수 있습니다. 이것에 대한 당신의 생각은 무엇입니까?

Alright, I will check out the wiki and give it another shot :) (I think the State Capitol is a good one for me to practice on). Thanks!

Neat stuff! Is there a guide you recommend for tagging these complex buildings? I've shied away from making any detailed 3D edits because it is intimidating :).

Hi there! It looks like you added a line with no tags a few years ago, so I went ahead and removed it. If you have any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to shout!
Best Wishes,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi woodennature,
I see you have moved many of the German names of streets and places to the "name=" position in Germany. Keep in mind that translations to other languages should be in the respective keyspace, such as they were in name:de. Chinese names usually include both the Pinyin and English versions in the name= tag. You can see the wiki page for more information: osm.wiki/Key:name. If you have any questions, do let me know.
Thanks,
Ethan aka FTA

Hey Chris! Thanks for your great edit and welcome to OpenStreetMap! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give me a shout.
Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi,
Welcome to OSM! Please make sure you are adding parks in OSM where there are actually parks. If it is just an open area but not designated as a park, mark it as grass. If you have any questions about mapping, just let someone know!
Thanks,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi genghiscon,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I appreciate your local contributions. While this is referred to people normally as the Number Garden, is that its official name? If it has a different official name, it would be worth adding that as an additional tag, i.e. official_name = Peace Garden, to ensure that information is not lost. If you run into any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hey Touchtehfire,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for adding your local knowledge to the map so far. If you have any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to reach out. (I will add there is an actual substation classification you can add to the one you included on the map.)
Happy Mapping!

Hey team lowkey,
I lowkey appreciate your local knowledge additions so far. If you have any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to reach out.
Take care,

Hi kiyngbert,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please be sure you are only adding real objects to OpenStreetMap, and ensure the shapes of the objects reflect their actual extent in reality. If you have any questions, let me know.
Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi xcptn,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please make sure you are only adding *real* objects to OSM! I've gone ahead and removed this stream. Let me know if you have any questions about mapping.
Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi xMistrox,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks for your edits so far to this town. One small note--try to reserve the name field only if something is actually called that name (leaving it blank for unnamed features is fine). For example, the meadow here doesn't need a name. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi BoxyB,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I hope you are enjoying mapping. I've gone ahead and made a small modification to your edits. Generally, amenity=park is reserved for actual parks, while something that you may call an industrial park should be tagged with landuse=industrial. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hey nitebreeder,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for your contributions so far. If you run into any problems or have a question, don't hesitate to reach out!

Thanks, Danny--good to know. It looks like some other people have reverted other changes too. So I am going to check each object and make sure at least someone else has touched them since the original edits.
Thanks!
Ethan
