To avoid conflicting tagging methods perhaps we can keep the tagging of the villages I have already changed to hamlets and I will leave all other villages with their original tagging in future.

I understand that, but the tagging of village or hamlet is determined by the OpenStreetMap wiki guidelines, and TERYT data does not have to be copied exactly to OpenStreetMap. If it is a hamlet according to OpenStreetMap wiki then that is the correct tagging. I would believe that the OSM wiki takes precedence over the source of data, as the official advice for how to tag map features. Perhaps to avoid conflicting tagging methods we could keep the tagging of the villages already changed to hamlets and leave other villages with their original tagging.

Certain places may be referred to as 'villages', but for the purpose of map accuracy and correct tagging in line with OpenStreetMap wiki, a village is any settlement with more than 100 residents. A hamlet is any settlement with less than 100 residents.

Tagging of places such as villages or hamlets is based exclusively on the settlements population, as the population changes over time and depopulation can cause places once recorded in the TERYT database as villages to become hamlets once they have less than 100 residents. OpenStreetMap is a map that is intended to change as places change in reality, tagging can change over time.

The tagging of place=village or place=hamlet has nothing to do with the original data source, in this case the TERYT records. The official legal definition of a village is any settlement with a population greater than 100, in some cases 150. The upper limit for place=village is 1000 residents. This is the settlement hierachy used worldwide for classification.

The source of this name is from a survey, the tourist signs in the area have maps of the meadows and their names.

Te nazwy pochodzą ze znaków turystycznych na Szlaku Przyrodniczym w Czarnym Lesie w Milanowie. Niektóre pochodzą również ze starych map powiatu Parczewskiego bez praw autorskich.

Cześć kpv8,

O które wioski chodzi, ta zmiana było długo temu?

Hi Eteb3,

I would personally tag the natural=peak on the same node as the trig point, as it is the highest point of the peak. Most peak elevations I take from OpenTopoMap contours, although old Ordnance Survey maps from the early to mid 1900s can also be used, which are available on the National Library of Scotland's map viewer.

Hello JassKurn,

If the name does not apply to the peak, then it can be removed. The name was derived from OS OpenData maps and the elevation from OpenTopoMap contours.

Hi eteb3,

I would reccomend tagging impassable or overgrown 'paths' as cutlines, for which there is in fact a specific tag in OpenStreetMap

Hi Eteb3,

Yes, scrub would be a better tag for these 'woodland' areas. If the tree canopy is not closed and light reaches the ground then it is scrubland

Hello Eteb3,

I would reccomend splitting it anyway

Hi Eteb3,

This fence is the land ownership boundary between the common land in the hills and private fields below. In places it may be a dry stone wall, although this is only verifiable by on site surveying. Where this is the case the lengths of stone wall could be split from the original way and tagged accordingly. The source was the Openstreetmap Cadastral parcels which show land ownership boundaries.

Kind regards, conifermapper

Hi Eteb3,

The woodland is based off of aerial imagery which may have a slight offset to GPS or true position on the ground. The woodland areas are marking the extent of hawthorn woodland which may also be naturally sparse.

Kind regards, conifermapper

Hi Eteb3

It was based off of the original location set by another mapper, but I agree that it is not on the summit and it should ideally be moved to where the trig point is to the north, which is the true summit. The same could be done for other peaks by using OpenTopoMap contours to locate the highest point.

Kind regards, conifermapper

Hi Eteb3,

The source for the paths in this changeset was OS OpenData StreetView, which shows paths from ordnance survey open data.

Kind regards, conifermapper

What a Russian imbecile

Hi,
Thanks for letting me know, will no longer use the tag access=designated

The inage also shows other named areas which are not shown on the map but are the names of the wider massif/ mountain areas
