Changeset When Comment
164619809 4 months ago

@mranderson2025 Can you please actually reply to the original changeset comments as mentioned first, including to list out what "various sources" they are? You are the one making accusations and judgements. I made no judgement by restoring the `old_name=` as corrected by 2 other users before.

@Taya_S
I mostly refrain from making judgements on mountain-side toponyms. This was corrected by osm.org/user/minghong , and osm.org/user/HKHikerhang the latter of whom has even made it to the news by holding a press conference about many users adding historical or personal names causing hiker confusion, even potentially risking their lives when they call rescue. Ref DWG tickets #2022033110000028 , #2022120210000048 , #2024022610000063 for previous incidents, where sock puppets have appeared repeatedly. osm.org/user/Supaplex/diary/399062
This has been noticed by the community (not me) at least 5 more years earlier in 2016 osm.wiki/Talk:Zh-hant:Hong_Kong_tagging#Place_Names
In this case, the involved users are difficult to track down, as they have deleted their account, similar to many of those offending users, and sock puppets. For now, I could only see they are "charmaine_pui_ting" (uid=17048038) and "hkpeakname"(uid=15436648) from Better OSM. OSMCha purged their database, so finding older changesets are more difficult. I can't say these two absolutely bad, but they definitely have mixed records at least. Need to do more digital forensics/archaeology to be sure.

For reference, that was added and re-added by a few dubious users who often add historical or personal names. This was corrected twice by reputable users already.

I don't see any evidence, at least around the time of that and the edit. This should only be edited after it's actually closed, if planned.

Please don't add random `place=` by your standards. Them and `name=` needs to be in common public use currently.

164613506 4 months ago

Please don't remove other names. Use `*_name=` to add other names.

It was wrongly changed from `=path` to `=unclassified`

164463384 4 months ago

This already had `covered=yes`

They should be connected, not moved away (eg no alleys between them)

164399844 4 months ago

This destroyed its correct shape. You should move it, not trim it.

164374707 4 months ago

This is very obviously not a `=hospital`

164213845 4 months ago

This is not enough. The routing is still broken by the banned turn.

164051308 4 months ago

Please be careful when dragging. There are accidental movements.

164125391 4 months ago

This is obviously not a `=peak`

164147880 4 months ago

2. Please don't remove the English from `name=`

164147880 4 months ago

Please don't add transliterations. `name=` should be a commonly used proper name.

164109037 4 months ago

Please don't make up names and transliterations yourself. `name=` is for names in common public use only. This is "Boar" not "Boat". Animals are used for naming around here.

164051414 4 months ago

Please don't remove other names, which would still be valid. `name=` should be the most common existing naming in public use. Add other names in `*_name=` eg `loc_name=`

164041628 4 months ago

Please don't attach different features to trails. They don't have to pass through the exact highest point. This makes future changes difficult and wrong.

164042412 4 months ago

1. Please don't create duplicate features, then delete the original one
2. Please use descriptive upload comments
