Hi, just wondering why college st was downgraded to tertiary?

I don't think this change is appropriate, sorry.
The name of the cafe actually does use the accents, see e.g. on their website: https://thecrepecafe.com/
I suppose you could add an additional name:en if you would like.

Is it correct that the path from knaggs crs to Birrell st is not lit? There's an OSM note that says that it is, and it does look like there are lampposts in the imagery?osm.org/way/38745388

It's basically the same premises with two brands, so not sure how to map, hence why I left it as two POIs. It's hard to tell whether they are actually one or two businesses, but they do share the same space.

Hi, this deletes a "wood" of deciduous trees that is not yet visible in Jan 2020 imagery osm.org/way/914301288
I'd like to re-add it. Do you think it makes more sense to add tree rows or individual trees instead? The trees are obviously not mature yet, so they're not going to feel like a wood for many years.

Just want to say I am annoyed by this change and don't endorse it.
waterway=riverbank was being actively discussed on the tagging list, and pushing through the so-called "river modernization" does not reflect a consensus view.
I'm not going to do anything about this, but I thought I'd let you know I'm unhappy.

Thanks. I've now edited the wiki and responded to an existing conversation there, and added a comment on GitHub.

Not sure what you mean about the wiki being specific in regards to Facebook - it doesn't specify what to do in this situation, where the Facebook page is also an organisation's official website. I intend to add back the website tag, but will leave the contact:facebook as is. Please don't "deduplicate" it.

98396819 over 4 years ago

I should add that I'm happy to systematically add contact:facebook when I do this, though in my opinion we should then also have tags for Menulog, ubereats, easi etc.

I'm tagging website so that the official website of an organisation is known. This is a classic problem in OSM that the meaning of a missing tag is ambiguous. I could obviously tag website=no, or website=facebook but hopefully you'll agree that tagging the actual Facebook url is a better solution.

98396819 over 4 years ago

Please don't do this. If an organisation doesn't have any other website, then their Facebook page is their website.
I don't mind adding contact:facebook but the existing website tag shouldn't be removed without checking that the organisation has no alternative website.

I suppose it's just the usual issue that it's not as pleasant an experience to add new features to a map that has partially overlapping areas and areas that only partially match physical features, and fixing such issues for the whole of Florey is a big job. I'll get used to it.

Hi, This seems to introduce inconsistencies with existing landuse boundaries and makes the area more difficult to maintain. Do you have any plans or suggestions for resolving this? As someone actively mapping this area I would have preferred smaller imports at one time.

Thanks! Just came across some bbqs I had added on the ground in the last 6mo that now said they needed checking.

What is the URL/full name of the actmapi list, and when was it last updated?

Sure, i think i understand the theory. In this case, if i remember correctly, we're not talking about a clean parking lane here. Its embedded into the kerb with nice trees in between and the sidewalk is not directly beside but with an additional gap. No renderer can currently guess that i consider this is a nice street to walk down, so i rely on the map. The renderer needs to not only know widths and distances between parking lane and sidewalk, but also how the parking lane is split up into sections, leaving space for the trees. Moreover, every editor needs to do the same to provide an intuitive visualisation for me to edit, and we end up with having both real and pseudo objects on the map that can be edited. On the other hand,a pedestrian router could instead treat area between a road and sidewalk as a routable area (like for pedestrian areas). In my opinion for messy cases micro mapping is easier to work with than pseudo-geographical elements, but i would use parking lanes for true parking lanes without this complexity. I will go read the wiki again, but my feeling is my preference is still for coexisting solutions.

Thanks for sharing your view. I come from a pedestrian way finding perspective, so I'm afraid my objectives are different. When looking at a map, i want to know that there is a sidewalk that is physically separated from the road and it is useful to know the separation is by parking. Someday navigation software will catch up with complex pedestrian needs. In the mean time, I'll keep mapping my needs and hopefully try to be useful to car users too along the way.

The newly traced parts ended up being more precise, so I merged the two versions
