Hello JaLooooNz,

I see that you have continued to proliferate service=driveway2 despite community consensus that this tag should be removed. I intend to remove this tag, in bulk, from the database. Please see the main discussion thread at:

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/proposed-bulk-removal-of-service-driveway2/100549

Buttonwoods streets seem OK as public based on:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttonwoods_Beach_Historic_District#Buttonwoods_Fire_District

Also, that road is absolutely not listed on the city plat maps:

Hi - Budlong Farm Road has a big permanent sign at the entrance that says "Private Property Do Not Enter". Seems pretty clear that this should be tagged access=private. access=permissive is for roads "open to general public use" which this is pretty clearly signed otherwise.

Could you document your sources on the wiki and cite them in changeset comments please?

Please clarify what data source the "geojson data file" comes from.

Please provide the actual data source. Where did your "geojson data file" come from and how do we know that it's OdBL compatible?

Hi, what is the source of this data? One of the features is a very long underground pipeline which I assume is not visible in aerial imagery?

@DaveF, I live in a pragmatic world where I'm concerned about actually getting stuff done. No amount of whinging on a changeset comment will change the fact that some communities and individuals are heavy on rule-lawyering and perfectionism. With this reality in mind, any edit that will get reverted is a waste of everyone's time. Despite what you seem to imply above, the US is one of the more amenable places to bulk and mechanical editing. However, it still requires a base understanding of community expectations.

I similarly bulk-edited 30,000 or so riverbank tags in the US, with community support and a good understanding of where the data came from and how it came to be. So I am absolutely a fan of bulk and mechanical

I largely agree with Carnildo's description of reservoirs tagged from the GNIS import. Tens of thousands of farmer's cow ponds in North America are tagged as reservoirs, and the presence of the old tag gives us something to go off of in sorting these out into "reservoir" and "not reservoir". But, if you've never looked at the data or talked to people who map these areas, you'd never know about them. Merely upgrading the tag makes finding and fixing problem data harder.

Meanwhile, after a brief discussion on the Czech mailing list, every landuse=reservoir in the Czech Republic was upgraded to the new tagging. The Czech mappers understood that no underlying data issue made this problematic.

In the Czech case, it was a quick note on their mailing list, and then the edit a few days later. In the riverbank case in the US, it was quick notes on Slack once it was clear there was no opposition. Bulk editing doesn't need to be excessively process-driven, but it does need a minimum level of understanding of the data that's being edited and at least a courtesy interaction with the community involved.

Look, some communities are fine with these kinds of edits and some aren't. So when you make a huge edit like this, it will inevitably make a bunch of people mad in a place where they hate bulk editing and cause a revert. I would suggest familiarizing yourself a bit more with OSM culture in that regard and I wish you success in communities that are more amenable to your preferred contribution style.

The multipolygon is not closed, because one of the members has the wrong role. Specifically osm.org/way/413007122 which is an inner member but is tagged as outer. I expect that because of the bug in iD (https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/8286) the editor gave you no warning.

Boundary is broken, please fix

Boundary is broken after this edit.

Oshkosh boundary is broken after this edit.

Oh, I guess it's just part of Stonington.

Should Pawcatuck be a proper admin boundary or is it only a CDP?

Thanks for fixing it!

I don't agree with this change. Based on the short length, this should be highway=trunk + expressway=yes.

user_5359, this is the first edit by a brand-new user. Please make an attempt to be welcoming and help other users learn from their mistakes rather than being a jerk about it.

I've corrected the tags, and you could have too.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time you've had difficulty working with others on the project, and your repeated abrasive behavior is the kind of thing that drives people away.

I would invite you to consider whether this project is a good fit for you.

I've reverted this changeset. user_5359, in the future, please take more care in not removing legitimate additions to the map.
