RFC: wikidata->osm lookup table

@mcld your solution adds a third component into the equation when mappings can be integrated into Wikidata. If any solution works, why not host it at WD?

Wikidata has many references, while OSM is huge if you count nodes. Only limited subset of OSM is meaningful.

RFC: wikidata->osm lookup table

All we need is a property to contain “node/410291638” OR “relation/1061137”.

Discussion about P402 RFD is rather twisted: part votes to remove the inaccurate prop, part votes to keep data, part votes to keep “at least single way to do it”.

German translation of http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Dialog/RelationEditor is missing at the moment.

"Crisis of anarchy"

@BushmanK, I can understand your style/implication and criticism clearly.

Still, could I ask you a favour:

  1. Don’t overstate “everywhere”, “always”, “they”
  2. “nobody”: I care about civil and well argument discussions. I’m pro open conflicts. I’m against sock-puppeteers and passive-aggressive communication.
  3. Third comment here is full of shit and insecurity; second one is half-provocative. Drop “you have created”.
  4. I understand that you and many of our users were simply pissed off by behaviour of some people, but could you still lower number of strictly personal comments please?

Try to support good ideas more frequently, It will help you to switch to the right and fresh state quicker. Ex, I love to watch what Mapbox does (or any other open company, really).

@salmin, @SomeoneElse, @BushmanK

Thank you for civil and well argumented discussion.

駕駛人校,如何分类?

Currently I usually tag the grounds as ‘amenity=driving_school’ and the track with ‘highway=raceway’. However, this may not be correct, as the driving school may have its main office elsewhere.

We created E 2.0 to address exactly this case. osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Education_2.0

Consider using

  • education=exercise_area for site
  • education=courses + education_profile:driving=yes office
  • education_amenity:driving_snake=yes snakes

I agree that E2.0 tagging is not perfect and we should work better on E2.0 next time.

When you 'discover' a city that is not on OSM

An active Chinese mapper, what a wonder! :)

On a serious note, It can be that some mappers are not good at detecting roads-vs-paths in Chinese mountains using imagery, especially if this locality has no other sources.

Классификация мапперов на HDYC

Всё равно без разбора пакетов и осмотра местности не понять характер правок.

активность - полезная, но количество правок (даже в плюс) не говорит о полезности; добавляя можно навандалить точно так же
