Reverted in changeset 62153827. OSM is not an appropriate venue for voicing political opposition.

By the way, this changeset is over six years old. If you’re seeing a major tagging problem, it could be due to a more recent change by someone else.

Can you clarify what you mean? I didn’t change any place tags; I only added name:vi tags for features that already had place=town.

I’m sure this change makes it a little easier to query for USPS boxes, for now at least, but as someone who consistently uses operator=United States Postal Service, I was really caught off-guard by this wide-ranging change. You gave the U.S. community about an hour and a half on a Sunday afternoon to “vote” on a proposal on Slack before uploading this changeset. If it were a matter of fixing a blatant typo or changing this tag in one city or state, that wouldn’t be such a big deal, but you saw the need to propose the change in the first place, so giving folks time to respond would have been more courteous. In the future, please exercise a little more patience and consider posting to a forum where your proposal would be less likely to be overlooked, such as the talk-us mailing list. Thank you for your consideration.

Technically, “Huỳnh Phi Long” is a homophonic translation, not a calque. Apologies for the mixup.

The DigitalGlobe Standard imagery shows what looks like the beginnings of construction, so I guess it’s quite imminent if it hasn’t already happened.

It’s probably best to keep landcover like natural=wood separate from the road network and other landuses, since they can often overlap with landuse=residential etc. Also, remember to map church buildings as amenity=place_of_worship, even if the church grounds are tagged landuse=religious.

Thanks for these changes. Note that the businesses in a single strip mall building should be mapped as standalone points near the center of the business, if possible. If you’d like to map the entrances, there’s a separate preset for building entrances (which also lets you indicate which entrance is the main entrance).

Thanks for making these updates. Apparently some of the ways still had construction and access=no tags on them, causing routers to avoid them. Fixed in changeset 60477725.

Thanks for your help with destination tagging! Please note that Ohio State Routes are tagged in the format “SR 123” rather than “OH 123”, as described in osm.wiki/Ohio/Map_features#Numbered_routes

Apparently I was off by one intersection; fixed in changeset 58958432.

This change has been reverted in changeset 57958669. It’s been nine months with no traction on that OpenTripPlanner ticket. Meanwhile, OSRM would correctly tell cyclists to dismount here, but for the lack of a bicycle=dismount tag. The signs here are very clear about requiring cyclists to dismount. Tagging otherwise is tagging incorrectly for a particular router (osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer ).

Code comments in OTP suggest that it will “automatically try walking bikes any time it is forbidden to ride them”. If that isn’t happening, perhaps that’s a configuration issue rather than a software defect. Either way, correct software behavior starts with correct data.

Remember to split the off-ramp from the on-ramp. Otherwise, routers will say the wrong destination for the on-ramp. Also, the ref prefix for state routes in Ohio is “SR”, not “OH”. (Fixed in changeset 57929510.)

Actually, the population and census tags previously contained the 2000 count – almost two decades out of date.

Hi Doublec8527, I’ve been meaning to thank you for the improvements you’ve been making around Madeira and Kenwood lately. We need more locals like you to help represent Cincinnati well. :-)

A couple suggestions for future reference:

• As Jerrad mentioned above, there’s a much easier way to map a patio: draw an Area and choose the Pedestrian Area preset. That way someone using an OSM-based router won’t have to follow a labyrinth just to ring the doorbell. ;-)
• Similarly, make sure to connect sidewalks to any driveways or roadways that they cross. There are special Crosswalk presets for marked crosswalks. Connecting sidewalks to the road network also prevents routers from giving circuitous walking directions.

Please send me a direct message if you have any questions about how to map the things you see.

Hi, Pheasant Hills isn’t a park, it’s a residential subdivision. By the way, there are plenty of parks in Loveland that could use more attention. For example, you could map swingsets or other playground equipment.

Unfortunately, this edit removed the casino building from the map. Note that the entire property is already included as JACK Cincinnati Casino; this is just the main building. I’ve fixed the building as part of changeset 56866218. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! iD’s raw tag editor must’ve jumped around without my realizing it.

Thanks for adding the pronunciation of this road. Note that the name:pronunciation tag is written in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to avoid ambiguity. There’s more information about this tag at <osm.wiki/Key:name:pronunciation>, including some links at the bottom to help you learn and input IPA.

This changeset comment should be: Added lane counts, turn lanes, lane change restrictions, parking aisles, sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic lights, buildings; micromapped Sharonville Community Center & nearby parks; corrected forest to woods; disconnected woods from roads
