Hello, and welcome to OSM :)

The `operator=India Post` tag might be relevant here.

Have extracted the GNIS place where wikidata tags were added that are <v4:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B9AOAixeLPdYIcvxR-mR4CVbaZQD8TdWY-YpC3neiEc/edit#gid=0

Looked into a sample of 20 and they all look like well urbanised areas. My hunch is that these cases are more of a minority than a majority. What would be the best way to find out how many incorrectly tagged towns there are?

zeromap, what do you estimate is the scale of the problem? it would be great if you could point to any previous discussion that talks about a potential cleanup effort.

Amazing work here. I've removed some duplicate streets and made some improvements near the station, please check

Made some corrections by merging with the duplicate ways. Thanks.

Hi Andy, as outlined in the Github ticket, every addition of Wikidata tag is manually reviewed by checking the location and context on both OSM and WIkidata before it is added.

This is a carefully scoped effort only for cities and towns where it is possible to match the Wikidata item with a very high level of confidence with just information available online, anything else is just skipped.

Having looked through all prior discussion regarding a Wikidata import, reservations were mostly pertaining to matching local features like streets or amenities that required specific local knowledge of a place. This task is more similar to a maproulette challenge rather than a regular import.

However you bring up a valuable point that it will be useful to have a larger community review of the process and data added so far. I'll take some time this week to document the methodology and observations from the mapping that will be useful for the larger community interested in OSM<>Wikidata, and we shall pause on adding any more Wikidata tags till this is done.

Hi, noticed that the Kecamatans have been tagged as place=city which may not be an appropriate tag as they don't indicate an urban area. Is there a more appropriate tag for them in Indonesia?

Keith, thanks for looking into the edits, there's a block on the user now osm.org/user_blocks/1056 to force them to read the messages. Is there still some cleanup to do?

Hi, welcome to OSM!

Noticed that you deleted all the shops in Phoenix market city that was added with a lot of hard work by another mapper.

I'm going to restore the shops, but please make sure you are more careful in the future.

Nice work!

Hi Ekta, you just created an edit that is not real.

Please do not make harmful edits on the map. If you are new, please read http://learnosm.org/en/beginner/introduction/ fist to understand the basics of mapmaking. Let me know if you require help to improve the map.

This is amazing work! Do you stay here?

Nice work mapping the campus. I have made some updates and fixed the tags. Please let me know if this is good?

Hi Drishya, you just deleted an important road in the city which was the result of someones hard work.

Hi midhu, welcome to OSM. Noticed that you have been deleting a lot of the map data and adding fictional features like this. Please explain your edits or your contributions will be reverted immideately.

An interesting case study into the state of management of land revenue :)

Make sense. But it looks like the ward boundaries are close to accurate? If so can we start converting them into relations?

Jaisen, was trying to convert the village boundaries to relations and noticed that the panchayat boundaries don't neatly align with the ward boundaries: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/iow

Is this expected?

Hi, can you explain what the curve_geometry=yes tag means? There are over 6,000 nodes with this tag added by you

Michael, this was uploaded 3 months ago by an experienced Canadian mapper with a proper comment and source mentioned, and the data aligns with the imagery.

If this is really a broken import, we should be working to create systems that can catch this much earlier on. If you could be more constructive in your approach, that will help focus on the real issues and try to find a solution together.
