158035446 | 10 months ago | I was cross-checking Bing with Esri (which is usually more recent), and Mapbox, along with Google and street view. If it has changed since all of these I couldn't find it. Apologies if I'm wrong. |
157997615 | 10 months ago | That's just the way I've always done it and is consistent with many others. |
157946240 | 10 months ago | Hi, my mistake. I knew the town didn't have the "u" so I assumed the railway station didn't as well. I will fix. |
157943624 | 10 months ago | Perhaps. I don't have a strong preference for one or the other. |
157406512 | 10 months ago | The name of a location, street, etc. can't and shouldn't be determined by "community consensus" (how is this determined anyway? Has there been a survey of the local community?) unless that community consensus has been successful in convincing the legislators or officials who make rulings on such things and then only once such decisions have gone through the proper channels, in this case, if a change from Wattleglen to Wattle Glen has been gazetted. It matters not what the operators might think, but what the official rulings are. |
144309065 | over 1 year ago | Hi.
|
143528394 | over 1 year ago | My apologies. I thought it was reopened again. My mistake. I will revert it. |
137715836 | about 2 years ago | I don't get it Diacritic! I got rid of ways where there were no physical separations and you've put more in, even more than before my edit. |
136105398 | about 2 years ago | Sorry, will fix the offset. |
127954735 | almost 3 years ago | Disused are rendered on the standard OSM as dotted grey lines, but abandoned and razed are not rendered. |
127954735 | almost 3 years ago | OHM doesn't overlay former rail tracks onto current conditions as far as I can tell, so it wouldn't be as helpful. From what I've seen on OHM, not a lot of data exists at the moment.
|
127954735 | almost 3 years ago | I thought I explained that. Mapping them as disused, abandoned and razed gives them visibility on OpenRailwayMaps which is where rail enthusiasts go to find where railway tracks are and once were. (https://www.openrailwaymap.org/index.php) They don't show up on OpenStreetMaps so it won't confuse those users. |
127954735 | almost 3 years ago | Disused means they are still there, abandoned means the tracks have been removed but the right-of-way is still discernable, whilst razed means there is no trace. For enthusiasts wanting to know where a railway was, all of these tags are helpful. If they shouldn't be tagged as razed, why is razed an option? |
127979775 | almost 3 years ago | Okay, I have searched for where these rules are spelt out and cannot find them. Can you give me the link so I can read it for myself? |
126922713 | almost 3 years ago | Maybe they should, however, abandoned and razed are options on OSM which then display on ORM which a lot of rail enthusiasts use as they overlay former railways onto current conditions, whereas OHM aren't as well presented. There should be no problem with them being mapped on OSM as they are invisible on that.
|
126922713 | almost 3 years ago | The mapping of abandoned and razed railways on Open Street Maps, whilst dot depicted in Open Street Maps, is depicted in Open Railway Maps, which is of great interest and help for people, usually rail enthusiasts, wanting to know where railways once were. |
127913794 | almost 3 years ago | The Gordon Avenue busway was already there as a separate carriageway; I just edited it slightly. I added the Railway Terrace busway to match the Gordon Avenue as evidence I've seen of other busways, they are shown as separate carriageways. I really do get the feeling you are stalking me when I am accused of doing things that were already there. |
126912494 | almost 3 years ago | Hi, I made the change for two reasons: to make it consistent with the similar features in Devonport;
|
122887392 | about 3 years ago | Hi again, I am just doing what I and many other editors have been doing for a very long time. Between the two lanes of a divided road is part of the road they are within, they are not an extension of the road they intersect with and they don't carry the name of the road that intersects with it. |
122739041 | about 3 years ago | Hi Diacritic, me again. I disagree; it should be the gazetted name. Just because the operator uses the wrong name, is no reason it should be perpetuated. |
