Which editor users are more likely to answer changeset discussions?

Looking at my recent changeset discussions, they seem to be of the type “does this way continue somewhere/do you have any more info on this POI/are you sure this is on that side of the road/please don’t name your house My House”. While welcoming new users is surely a nice touch, I don’t see it as the main purpose of changeset discussions.

Which editor users are more likely to answer changeset discussions?

IMHO the number of total edits by editor doesn’t make much sense here: I would plot the responded% on the Y axis and optionally mark the edit number (if at all).

The other graph would perhaps be useful as well - but note that certain editors start discussions by creating a note (e.g. maps.me, StreetComplete).

Which editor users are more likely to answer changeset discussions?

Thank you. The chart is a bit complex to grasp (willingness to reply in descending order: JOSM, Potlatch, iD, other editors, maps.me ), but seems to fit my own experience.

EASTERN LATVIA AND WESTERN RUSSIA NEED OUR HELP!

Sorry, I’ll try to be more clear: I am not physically near Latvia or Russia; is there a way I can help with the mapping (e.g. tracing roads from satellite pictures), or is the work that’s needed “physically go into the terrain and see”?

EASTERN LATVIA AND WESTERN RUSSIA NEED OUR HELP!

Hello,

is this necessary to be done fully on-the-ground, or would tracing from aerial imagery also help?

Congratulations!

Sharp Turns onto Ramps

Is there a way to map false positives (@gorn: e.g. the turn @ Bertramka is indeed legal, passable and used, despite the sharp angle)

Sharp Turns onto Ramps

@aharvey: Excellent, thank you!

Sharp Turns onto Ramps

Alas, I’m not looking for the Mapbox background layer, but for the “circles” overlay. That’s not a part of the tiles.

Sharp Turns onto Ramps

Excellent, excellent! Looking at my area, I see some sharp turns highlighted; is there a way to get to them from your map (other than “open up the same area in JOSM and look for cues”)?

Co se týče toho parkování, mrkni na osm.wiki/Cs:Tag:amenity%3Dparking (slovenská verze zatím není). Pokud to není vyloženě parkovací plocha, ale jen třeba kus trávníku, na kterým se parkuje tak nějak ze zvyku, to bych jako parkoviště nemapoval.

Thought experiment: What if values had no keys?
4, 3, 1, 2, 50, 70, asphalt, no, yes psv, designated. What did I mean there? (Hint: it’s a way ;))
Hello

Hi :)

Much welcomed DigitalGlobe imagery

Did manage to somehow bork my Java apps in a similar way on Kubuntu 16.04, most notably JOSM; working around this in JOSM by saving the .joz session, closing JOSM and starting it again (which resolves the issue). I suspect it has something to do with modifier keys becoming “stuck” (I think I triggered it by dragging with Alt + window snapping in Plasma), but it didn’t worry me enough to investigate further (only happened a couple of times).

small river

@michalfabik: That seems to be an OSMAnd renderer issue; the map you’re linking to seems to be correct.

small river

Hello,

I tried opening the location in JOSM and the reason became apparent: this segment was missing the riverbank part. For a small river, this is not necessary - the stream center is wide enough; for a large river, the stream is only rendered as a narrow line, hence the riverbank area. I have added the riverbank from aerial imagery and it should become visible within a short time. osm.org/way/497499639#map=14/34.9277/-106.6745

Super, díky moc. Já mezitím koukal do OSM wiki, a denomination=catholic sice není špatně, ale taky doporučují přesnější roman_catholic. osm.wiki/Key:denomination#Christian_denominations

Hello, OSM.

Hello and welcome :)

(If you like StreetComplete, you could perhaps like MapSwipe or MapRoulette.)

železnice

Super :) Mohl bych poprosit, zda by šlo tagovat denomination=roman_catholic ? (Zrovna něco podobného řeším vedle v CZ, a denomination=catholic máme hromadu - i v místech, kde není jasný, jestli jde o ŘKC, o řeckokatolíky, nebo dokonce o starokatolíky - čímž je v tom nejasno a taky se na to blbě staví query do Overpass API) Díky.
