I don't want to see mean or pushy, but is this an actual place? Or is it a county?

43701420 over 8 years ago

If it is truely related to the relation(county) we should fix the wikidata item to not reflect it as a town then as it will reoccur over and over. Wiki data says it's a town with the coordinates less than 15km difference: https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3501230?uselang=en-US
If this is not an actual town(osm) why is it still on the map?

If you believe it is a wrong wiki article, then please remove it. If it is the correct wikidata, why remove it?

Well I am aware that the German populous dislikes imports

If you are scared of poor data, kindly point out a wikidata tag that is wrong

Qa tiles was to obtain node ids thats it. Everything else in josm

Do you understand English? These. Are. Not. Automated. Edits.

Why does a offline edit have to be discussed? Do you have to email a mailing list when you edit a road, a building, a tree?

also what algorithm please see the steps above.

But i'm not using an API, nor find and replace so what's your point?

43742323 over 8 years ago

What I find quite strange is if I were to commit this one by one. No one would bat an eye, but I do it in a batch and questions are raised. It's the same thing as if I were doing it through ID or JOSM. The IDs are correct and I am not sure why they are being questioned?

The 7th position of the decimal is a precision of less than 10cm.....I may have touched it by accident in JOSM

I downloaded the mapbox QA-tiles a couple days ago. Extracted the nodes with "place" tag. I then have been looking up places with same name. This is the result of my labour.

It's the same idea behind:

https://www.mapbox.com/blog/id-wikidata/

also the automated edits are not applicable in this case as I am reviewing all the changesets manually. Thank you

I just told you.
1. Go to name field
2. Ctrl+c
3. www.wikidata.org
4. ctrl+v
5. Find city
6. Find ID
7. Ctrl+c
8. Go back and add wikidata
9. ctrl+v

43742323 over 8 years ago

Adding wikidata. You take a place name and look it up here: www.wikidata.org. The resulting ID gives you access to wikipedia pages, meta data etc

I did say roughly. I did not use google translate. Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut. Side job still qualifies as a job. It means you probably know woodpeck personally in real life (judging that geofabrik is not that big of a company)

@mikelmaron while I do agree with you, it's easy to police people into obeying Guildelines(which by definition should be a suggested coarse of action instead of a hardset rule book that if you don't obey you get reverted) to a T when you work with someone from the DWG:
From:
osm.wiki/User:Nakaner

Derzeit studiere ich Geodäsie und Geoinformatik (Master) am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie und habe einen Nebenjob in der Geofabrik.

Which translates roughly to I have a job at geofabrik. Coincidently the person that is reverting all of our work (woodpeck) is a co-founder of Geofabrik. Ever since the mass revert in Canada's north: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2016-September/007225.html
Nakaner has had it out for myself, Rps333 and DenisCarriere.

He's even gone into my history as far as one year back and threatened to revert the data:
osm.org/changeset/33248922 which I feel is harassment and has made me want to quit contributing to OSM as a whole(which shouldn't be the atmosphere in the community)

I have also added Gatineau to the import catalog here:
osm.wiki/Import/Catalogue

Thank you for your understanding. Good day.

Michael please see:
osm.wiki/Gatineau/Import#Follow_up_permission
Which clears up any doubt you had.
This puts us on par with Montreal's open data catalog where they needed permission due to CC-BY-4.0
