Well, to me it would have been even better, but as I told you - the issue is that it has absolutely no influence over navigation if you use the correct tags additionally to "barrier=border control" (like hgv=designated, etc.). However, it does have an influence when you do that for the road itself. I can't check whether I had done that at that time because I am not in front of any computer, so if you want to do that, go on! :)

Ehm. I am not sure about what you refer to (because I did this like 1 year ago), but if you refer to adding access tags for "barrier=border control", they have no influence at all over navigation issues (which is why I added that legend at the time in name=*). However, definitely those tags should be added to the "highway=*" tags if they hadn't been added. I don't have the time to check that right now ;)

Do you even read what you write Tomas?!...

First of all, no Polish name (nor any name in any other language - even in transliterations to Russian or Belarusian) phonetically matches Lithuanian names. Not even one! Your politicians are the ones who, continuing the Soviet tradition, force local Poles to transliterate their names in a way that is neither correct in Lithuanian, neither in Polish! They are a direct transliteration from Russian Cyrillic from USSR times. As a comparison, In Poland, the Lithuanian minority has the right to write their own names with Lithuanian ė, š, č, ū (ą and ę are common). Pre-war Lithuania allowed multilingual names. Grow up man! It's the 21st century, and Lithuania has been independent for 28 years now! Following your logic, I would have to write "Wylnys", "Kołnas", "Panewieżis" phonetically Lithuanian language! Oh, maybe I should write "Vylnys, Coounasse, Panèviéjisse" in French, "Velnes, Counas, Paneviexis" in Spanish, "Vilnis, Counaçe, Paneviejiçe" in Portuguese to match Lithuanian phonetically? Even like that it won't ever match 100%! It is totally wrong. Unbelievable you are even stating such a nonsense!

Second, the blog you sent is 100% personal and is in Lithuanian.

Moreover, you know very well that you hadn't moved anything to "old_name:pl". You just deleted whatever I edited, independently on whether it matches your criteria or not. For such a bad will, you are the one who should have been banned as an immediate effect! You are the one who is not following the rules of good conduct of OSM at any time, which state clearly "ask first"! You are the one who is wasting other people's time!

Following the logic of what you wrote above about the old_name:pl, I should move "Suvalkai", "Vižainis", "Augustavas", "Seinai" from name:lt tag to old_name:lt tag because they exist only on old maps; and you're not allowed to copy from governmental nor paper maps... Unbelievable! ... Oh, maybe I should delete "Paryžius", "Lisabona", "Londonas" or "Karakasas" because Lithuania has never reached those places?...

I know why you hate communicating: you are extremely bad at (whatever you say make things worse and worse). You are the perfect guy for a country to start a war with another instead of avoiding it. I sincerely sympathize with people who work or live with you on a daily basis!

Your excuse of not inviting me to any event despite I edit a lot in LT and I live in LT is absolutely lame. You didn't invite me just because you have a personal issue with me and you are afraid of telling that to me face to face; or to discuss certain things we may not agree on, even in a friendly way. Perhaps you have only people that adore you at those meetings, and you don't want to screw that up because you are afraid I will tell you the truth in your face! That is a big pity for the LT OSM community to have such a "leader".

I am currently avoiding to edit anything on LT OSM unless I clarify some things with Fred. Now, please mind your own LT-business and stay out of my edits in any other country. Of you want, you can help me re-draw some roads or rivers in Latvia, Belarus and Russia, which have been drawn by someone in a very strange way, as if they were drunk, not matching the reality at all :) Your help would be more than welcome in such cases, but I don't think you will do that because constructive behavior is not your thing. You enjoy destroying, not constructing.

Strangely, you are the only one complaining about what I am adding :) Moreover, if it is not useful for you as a Lithuanian using the map in Lithuanian language, it is useful for people using the map in other languages :)
A lot of the names I had added previously were for public use because they were on wikipedia, wiki etc. :) You haven't checked anything, you just deleted it.
Ah, one more thing: I'm afraid you are the wrong person to state I make nazi remarks :)

66925932 over 6 years ago

I am *adding* multilingual names (especially name:be, int_name, but also name:et, name:de, name:fi, name:pl, name:lt and name:lv tags. If you are talking about the 2 or 3 German names that were in it, they were totally wrong. Not correct phonetically in Russian, Belarusian nor German.
You will be more than disappointed because as my name is not Tomas Straupis, I added a lot of name:de tags where they are relevant and where the names really do exist :) In Belarus and in Latvia :)
Btw, I had already notified the DWG about this issue on Belarusian soil so they know why I am doing that :P
Contrary the the Polish, Latvian etc. names you have been deleting all around Lithuania, those German names were nowhere to be found either in Wiki either in any other sources like pre-war maps or governmental documents. What would you do if you would see some name:en tag that instead of "Vilnius" says "Vylnys" or "Velnias"? You would keep it, right? Knowing that you won't find that name anywhere? :) Neither in Wiki, neither in governmental documents, neither in archive documents? :) Of course you would :)
In your case, Tomas, you deleted my names despite you knew *very well* they do exist and they are present in various sources. Just in order to vandalize my work and the work of people like me trying to promote tourism in Lithuania for foreigners, which is good for your country. Be happy you haven't been banned. As of yet.
It's ironic you've suddenly become so international, Tomas? But of course, only when it's convenient for you? :) lol I'm afraid you hate me from the very beginning because you are a totally narrow-minded guy, totally blinded by your hatred towards Poles and everything what is Polish. Fortunately, less and less people here in Lithuania have this mentality "Lietuva Lietuvams" because more than 25% of your population has left and they do realize people from abroad are not that bad. Even Polish people. And you also tend to forget Polish was one of the languages of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania for a very long time, which means it is historical for your country.
Ah, and one more thing: contrary to the Lithuanian community, the Belarusian, Polish, and Ukrainian communities have invited me to their events and so on despite I don't even live there. When they have any objection towards any of my edits, they contact me directly before doing anything (mostly directly through chatting communicators like Telegram). Learn friendliness, courage and communication skills from them! It's much better for Lithuania's image!

??????? Where?

62901700 over 6 years ago

Hello.
You shouldn't have removed it as it is an important feature we have on the map to be able to guide people towards such places, especially given the fact the Azure Window itself doesn't exist anymore. Moreover, if they don't know where to go without our map, then it is a bit of a pity...

Labas! :) Thanks for the info.
I think someone already fixed it

Здравствуйте. Я не знаю, где моя ошибка. Давайте изправляйте сам, поэтому что я не знаю где она. Я занимался парком в Латвии, который был на границе с Россией, и рекой "Кира" между RUS а LV.

Tas adresas yra. Jeigu netiki, tai važiuok pats tenais ir žinosi labai greitai. Ne mano kaltė kad Vilniaus miesto dokumentai nėra tobulus.

Here it is written "A31" on the front of the building. If you walk on the left side of the building, you will see "31A". So NO, Tomas, you don't know everything.

Why should I invent an address that doesn't exist at my age? If you live in Vilnius, go and see for yourself. I've been there yesterday and no map indicated that address, but it really exists. I can show you my dashcam video if you want. Stop reverting things without asking, because this is against OSM policies.

Hello Tomas. Have you been erasing all the multilingual names I've been putting lately?

60207727 about 7 years ago

Hello Yaugenka.
Thanks for your proposition, but I am already in the Telegram discussion for a long time.
Remember we already had this discussion a couple of months ago with the DWG with a similar case. What is on the roadsign *prevails* over the data the administration has.
And this is again the kind of case where the Belarusian administration's data is one big mess. Sometimes it is outdated, and sometimes it is wrong (I had cases with 2 villages placed exactly the opposite as they are in reality). Hence, we don't need to confuse travelers even more with questions why they see "Станцыя Ражанка" instead of "Ражанка".
Those 2 villages are differentiated not only on the ground, but also on pre-war Polish maps (Różanka vs. Stacja Różanka). If the ground truth showed "Ражанка", I wouldn't have changed that. You already know my aim is not at vandalizing, just showing the ground truth.
As we had agreed at that time with that case we had discussed with the DWG, I left the official name in the "alt_name" so the data isn't lost. You already have a village called simply "Ражанка" nearby, which will only confuse travellers.

Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
J.

"Hudahaj" was left as "alt_name" for a purpose; and it was already discussed with the DWG a couple of months ago. I've been driving there since 2015 and I've already noticed it. The fact that the Belarusian administration's data is a a mess is not our fault, and the rules of OSM are very clear: you have to put the name appearing on the road sign. Moreover, if you look also at pre-war Polish maps you will discover the name was "Stacja Gudogaje". The only thing called simply "Hudahaj" is the train station itself. So please do not change it again. Thank you for your understanding.
P.S.: if you live 2km from there, perhaps we have already seen each other ;)

Hi. I made this change a long, long time ago, and yes. It is for navigational purposes. Why? Because no matter what max_speed, hgv etc.you mark, openstreetmap and OSM-based apps like maps.me always choose the "superior" road, right through the city center. There are lots of similar cases in Belarus where bypasses have still got lower numbers (НXXXX) than roads leading right through the city center (РXXX or even МXX).
I do understand fully your point, but is neither your fault, neither my fault if the Belarusian government does nothing to sort that out. To me and several other people we should reflect the reality (= it is better to drive through those НXXXX bypasses than through those РXXX streets).
Please do not revert these changes as long as the problem I mentioned above will exist.
