The image (“Map of Turkmenistan highway network”) is broken. That is because the URL is for a web-page (osm.wiki/File:190123_TKM-smaller.jpg), but you have it enclosed in an image tag. You should use one of the image urls; the biggest (very slow) is osm.wiki/w/images/5/57/190123_TKM-smaller.jpg, though the smallest should be fine for a Diary post (osm.wiki/w/images/thumb/5/57/190123_TKM-smaller.jpg/800px-190123_TKM-smaller.jpg).

This is a good changeset comment. It is a stupid diary entry.

Will you please stop putting changeset comments into Diary entries.

@vicksun:
Yes, I realise what it was that you were trying to do. It reads much easier now.

To get the numbered list you need to have the format:-
number-dot-space-words

You have changed it to be:-
number-space-dot-words

…and that will not work! Try again!

Hi vicksun
Some readability comments:–

1. If you place a space (‘ ’) between the dot (‘.’) and number in your numbered paragraphs, then they will format properly (like these ones)
2. Please remove the excessive emboldening in later paragraphs
3. Please remove the excessive emboldening + increased font-size in some later paragraphs.

The all-bold paragraphs are exceptionally difficult to read. Used with discretion, bold (perhaps together with italics) helps to focus attention on a particular word or short phrase. Used on an entire paragraph it tires the eyes & causes the person to stop reading.

Thanks for the offer, RobJN.

I’ve got the bit between my teeth now. My grandchildren both have their birthdays in January, so I’m unlikely to be there.

You really should never post your email address on a public website; far too many scrapers that pass such stuff to spammers.

Hi omgitsgela

All of the text is within the SVG files. All of the other files (PNG, etc.) are referenced inside those SVG files. Here are the links for you to check them out for yourself (hint: SVG files are plain text):-

Hello Emma.

Your English is fine.

Look at this README.md at github.com. This will not help directly, but will suggest that (1) it can be done, and (2) you will probably need to learn Python to do it.

I’m sure that someone else will chip in with more practical help. As a first step, it would be a good idea to confirm the district that you are thinking of using for this graph.

I think that you mean “DEPRECATED”, not “DEPLICATED”.

@rorym%20%F0%9F%8F%B3%EF%B8%8F%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%8C%88:–

Your proposal seems sound & sane from a fast read. I would also expect it to (possibly) solve the main problem, which is to avoid escalating edit wars + authoritarian stances/actions by the DWG.

To attempt to express it (to test that I’ve got it right), the proposal is to add extra tags to the type=boundary relation as to allow multiple claims to co-exist. These tags would be boundary=claimed_administrative + claimed:admin_level=* + according_to:*=yes/no (where ‘*’ == country-code).

This would then require follow-up on the rendering applied for the different claims on disputed borders, possibly as suggested in ika-chan!’s post.

A good start.

Why on earth are you promoting a blog post for the 1st week of November in December?

First image is broken.

@Adamant1:–

Why would their standard be better that of DWGs (when its the DWGs map)?

It emphatically is not DWG’s map. I certainly hope that DWG do not have that attitude, and from my small exposure to them do not believe that they do. If ever that belief gets a hold in those that map for OSM then I would expect most to stop mapping.

Folks that map for OSM feel that in doing so that they have skin in the game. That is why they are so committed to mapping for OSM. That is (a part of) why the boundary disputes are so bitter.

Well, as someone that declares themselves to have fragile mental health, I think that your suggestion is the most sensible that I have seen so far.

I feel really uneasy now

One possible reason for this is that at no point do you set out what the point of your Diary post is.

“Ad hominem” is defined as an attack on a person rather than their argument. If you only present the people that you are criticising, and never raise the argument that they are making, then you can only ever make an Ad hominem attack.

Well, if nothing else you now know why “OSMWeekly mentions my posts as “ad hominem””.

Changeset 60090584

I’m obviously ignorant, but I cannot see from that url why (nor even if) it has been reverted.

If you produce the map via your own code, and give attribution to OSM for the map, then as I understand it, what you do with that result is your business.

Thank you GPIOIPG.

Your 2nd picture is broken (gives “code:7” as a result); at a guess, you need to be logged in to that site to see the picture. Anyway, whatever the reason, the image does not appear.

Start with the first incorrect statement on my part, and do not forget to state why it is incorrect. Then, move on to the next one. I say again, if I’ve got something wrong I’ll apologise & change it immediately.
