Please don't add such `name=` artifically . `building:levels=` and `building:part=` already represent this info.

Please move it if the position is wrong. Change feature if feature is wrong. Never delete something valid.

Can you please stopping deleting this? The slope does exist?

1. Any GIS or geo-database application could do a spatial join to append the `landuse=residential` `name=` to `building=`. On the contrary, you can't remove them as easily when considering button and label names, which creates clutter. Bus routes has the same problem.

There are many address formats which applications may not support. Even for UK. And HK is more complicated than UK in some sense.

1. That isn't relevant here. If you follow by the books, you would look at `addr:housename=` . Besides, another rule is not to artificially make composite names, ie combining different features' names.
2. It's the best option. All this does is make managing building names more complicated.
3. Not a data problem. Carto is a static raster map background. Any proper application should have more overlays and clickable buttons.

Please don't add the estate name to the `building=` . This is not the common practice, and makes the data more complicated.

Please notice that `residential=apartments` is described for housing estates, and that's how it's used in HK. Don't use it on single building ones.

Please pay attention that Hong Kong uses billingualism in names. It's not redundant.

3. Please don't use `building=hospital` for something that's not a hospital.

2. Its management is irrelevant to Red Cross.

140403616 almost 2 years ago

2. This should not be said as under the Red Cross. It is for HK and HA.

Please pay attention that no donation occurs here. This doesn't reflect its function.

140402259 almost 2 years ago

`name=` should be proper names only. Don't add descriptor labels,.

140402037 almost 2 years ago

Please don't add descriptor labels to `name=`

140398156 almost 2 years ago

Please don't change `=unclassified` . `=residential` should at most be used for local streets.

140347400 almost 2 years ago

2. And please split your uploads. They are unrelated.

1. Please don't delete and redraw to pencil-tip shape intersections. This unneccessarily distorts the left turns, and will confuse routers and applications. At least you don't need to modify the ground-level southbound. https://labs.mapbox.com/mapping/mapping-for-navigation/modeling-intersections-for-map-navigation/ You can use osm.wiki/Relation:connectivity#Examples if needed.

In `=hiking` / `=foot`, it doesn't need to be `name:en=Wilson Trail Section 3 (Lam Tin — Tseng Lan Shue)` either.

As linked, this situation has been specifically called out for how bad it is, in need of a clean up. It should not be encouraged.

Besides, `name=` is the common name. In this thinking, you would say eg "KMB Route 89D Towards Wu Kai Sha", as in the bus broadcast. So even if you want to include redundant non-proper-name info, it is debatable whether you need the origin, arrows, and brackets.
