I may already have contacted you via a different changeset, but lost track of it. Could you please clarify the issues with this data on this wiki page? osm.wiki/Bad_imports/Cameroun_Ouest_region_landuse_import

Thanks in advance.

Hi, could you please explain why you included so many living streets in the import?

See osm.wiki/Bad_imports/Enugu_streets_import for the discussion.

This import has a lot of issues, please see osm.wiki/Bad_imports/Enugu_POI_import for the discussion and explanation of how you want to fix this.

Overpass indeed doesn't work on the dev server. But I don't see why you need demo data for Overpass. Overpass is strong enough to work with real (big) boundaries.

If you want help with making Overpass queries, I know Overpass syntax inside-out, and can certainly help you. You can also drop by on IRC to ask questions: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.oftc.net#osm

This data contains a huge amount of duplicated nodes, and even some duplicated ways. I also can't find any documentation on this import. Is this discussed somewhere?

Hi, if you want to test editing, please use the dev server: http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/

Demo data can't be allowed on the main OSM instance. If every mapper would do this, the world would always be full of demo data.

Please delete these ASAP.

Hi, I noticed you also applied the natural=coastline tag on your new sea boundaries.

But as you didn't remove the old coastlines, nor connect it to the coastlines that are still existing, the coastline parsing is currently broken.

When looking at the imagery, I find that neither the old nor the new coastline look very precise.

Note that the boundary and coastline don't necessarily match. The coastline in OSM is drawn at the high-water line, while boundaries are often defined to be at the low-water line (so municipal laws count on the beach).

I'll consult with some other mappers before doing something.

Het is een eindje geleden dat ik nog in centrum WRB geweest ben. Is het pad achter Westvlees verdwenen?

Hi, I'm sorry but I can't speak Spanish, so I hope you can understand English.

First of all, I should thank you for helping with our project.

But you should watch out when editing coastline data. For coastline ways, the land should always be on the left side of the coastline.

For some reason, you changed the direction of the coastline (probably selected the wrong way in the editor). But this caused the entire coastline of the Eurasian landmass to become invalid.

See osm.wiki/Tag:natural%3Dcoastline for documentation.

Thanks again for helping with our project.

You're right, I should look into closing my changesets more often.

I noticed this issue thanks to the coastline checking tool: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=coastline (I also tried to solve most other problems).

A lake with only some 130 members isn't really that big anyway. In Africa, I've been working on lakes with 300 and more members, while they were only tagged as a multipolygon.

Coastline should not be used on lakes (even not if they're big).

See osm.wiki/Tag:natural%3Dcoastline

I'll now remove these coastline tags again.

Where was this import discussed?
Why did you use type=lake instead of the accepted water=lake tag on some waterbodies?

Please do not map for the renderer: osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer

In short: woodland is not a park (a park has benches, and is used as a quiet place to walk in an urban area).

Also, the name tag should only be used for features with a name (like a shop, a pub, a street, ...) but never as a description.

Thanks

Nog 1 vergeten:

Gehuchten als Wijnendale en Sint-Christoffel zijn geen deelgemeenten, en hebben dus geen grens.

Ik heb de oude grenzen hersteld (zodat ze terug gesloten zijn, en gebruikt kunnen worden door de zoekfunctie), maar de nieuwe wegen heb ik niet verwijderd omdat ik niet weet wat je er juist mee bedoeld (welk type grens is dit, waar komt de info vandaan, ...?)

Not yet, works on the cycle infrastructure haven't finished yet (at least not since I last went there), and I don't know how they plan the cycle infrastructure. Either they will limit it to one side of the road directly after the roundabout, or they'll add a possibility to cross the street somewhere between the tunnel and the roundabout.

Note that the cycle lane will also be connected to the south (along the railway). I don't know how far their progress is with that.

Bedankt voor de update ;)

Could you please watch out with deleting important information? I did my best collecting information and I do NOT APPRECIATE it being deleted osm.org/way/174891110/history

This is an issue I discovered because it's hardly a few kms from my front door. I dare not to imagine what else you have destroyed.
