Hi Jorieke,

The way between the cabins, I would move so it goes through the center of the cabins in a circle. I don't think it was meant as a way, where it is now.
Personally I would also use highway=service, or track as that is what is used in Europe for unpaved roads.
Can I rename the Middle Road to correct the spelling and capitalisation?

Ciao Edoardo,
Thank you for adding all those schools. There is a more efficient way to do this, which would also be more useful, as you would be adding the addr: tags too, instead of just the names of the schools. Let me know if you'd like to learn about this.

I was part of this relation:
osm.org/relation/3498029/history

I restored that relation, but I couldn't manage to keep the same relation id.

OK, but more importantly, why did you add your own name as the operator? Operator means the person, company or group that runs that school.

Hi Diego,

Are you operating/running these schools? And why did you map them twice? They were already present.

Jo

Hi Rob, in fact those tags had been added in a previous changeset, but I corrected them, of course. Thanks for noticing.

Jo

I understand, but why didn't you simply drag it over to where you did find it while surveying? Did you by any chance test if water comes out? Or would they shut it down during winter?

Cheers, Jo

Uh oh, I made a mistake then. I'll start fixing ASAP

Hi Enock4Seth,

The Wikipedia plugin makes it really easy nowadays to add linkst to Wikidata at the same time as linking to Wikipedia.

I made a screencast:

Hi Jeremy,
I saw you start on a task on the Tasking Manager, but not complete it. Then I noticed that you were new to OSM, so I decided to write you a welcome message.
I'm trying to pass on my experience to others, using twitch.tv:

Never mind the obnoxious publicity, it's a platform for gamers. On the one hand it suits the purpose of making screencasts, otoh pubs for wargames are not really what we're about.
I'm using an offline editor called JOSM. To use it, you need to have Java installed. If you are serious about mapping, I'd suggest to learn how it works, it's a lot more efficient than iD.
With those screencasts, I'm trying to show some techniques and which hotkeys are most interesting.

Jo

Hi Jeremy, welcome to Openstreetmap and HOT mapping! If you need assistance with mapping, please let me know.

Hi Shtomp45, I notice you used building=yes to map landuse=residential. In the tasks in Swaziland the intention was to map all the individual buildings as accurately as possible.

It would be totally cool if you could make some pictures and upload them to Mapillary :-) Most likely they are merely poles. We don't have a dedicated tag for those poles, so I merely map them as nodes with public_transport=platform, bus=yes, highway=bus_stop and some details like ref, name, zone, route_ref, operator and network. Most of them are based on source data straight from the 'source' at De Lijn.

It's funny that we are discussing this in English :-) Anyway, when the stop is a terminus/initial stop, I consistently add a stop_position node and split the way, as that is then the end position for the route relation. I'm not sure anymore if this was the case at some point.

In this particular case it would be possible to merge them. There is not compelling reason to do so though.
A more interesting question: are you local there? Does De Lijn still serve these stops? Are there 'flagpoles' to indicate these stops still 'exist'?

Hi rowers2,

You seem to have uploaded your scratchpad into Africa.

Hi Rowers,

Something seems to have gone very wrong with this edit. It extends all the way from Poland into The Cameroon...

Hallo Thorum,

Prachtig dat je wilt werken aan het oplossen van de buslijnen. De reden dat ik naar deze changeset kwam kijken, is dat o.a. lijn 318 onderbroken geraakt was. Als je wilt, wil ik wel wegwijs maken met JOSM. Als je eenmaal aan relaties begint te werken, is dat een veel beter stuk gereedschap.

This is the result of adding wikidata tags for Queen Fabiola to OSM, then adding a link to it on Wikipedia:
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabiola_Mora_y_Arag%C3%B3n#Literatuur

you're right, it's not ideal. All name:etymology:wikidata says it is named after something. If it's not about the road network, was it after the Romans or after Rome that this particular one was called? It's probably not of great importance, so we better remove those name:etymology:wikidata tags.

In the case of writers, poets, mayors, kings, queens, princes and princesses it does seem interesting to me to be able to show where the streets and buildings named after them are located. Or where there are statues, graves, birth houses and musea. Those are usually easier to identify.
