Hey kenda,

Check out StreetComplete 61.2
https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/releases/tag/v61.2

There are now more quests available for toilets and showers, so you should also be able to check i.e. if the shower next to it still exists (at least, it should ask for it, it hasn't been updated in 9 years..)
osm.org/node/4325019892
(of course many toilets and showers are usually permanent.)

Regards,

Daniel

Bus stop currently has route ref KK2 but is (only) part of relation for 838. Should it be (also) part of KK2 sub-relation, or is one of these inaccurate?

Hey John,

Did you survey each defibrillator individually, on the ground, and manually added them; or
did you (semi-)automatically import/copy-paste them from elsewhere (websites, articles, files, etc.); or
were they supplied by yourself (from files/website/... which you own) / by someone else requesting to add them to OpenStreetMap (from files/website/... which they own)?

If you surveyed them, it looks good. Just make sure to carefully add the details when you are doing this many of them. You can easily make typos or copy-paste mistakes.

Otherwise, please adhere to the import guidelines
osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines
and Automated Edits code of conduct
osm.wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct

I assume it is with good intent, of course; and you have been editing for longer without negative feedback as far as I can see.
https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=457933

Regardless, this is a changeset from two years ago, so this comment is a bit late.

I assume you mean the corner pillar.
Fyi on Mapillary 2024 it wraps around the corner, so I would map it as such (single building part).

There are signs outside the entrance but it is too dark even if I increase the brightness on the Panoramax website itself. There might be a cabinet below the signs?

Hey Tobiemh,

Thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap!

Could you please tell me if it is the same or a different defibrillator than the one "left of the reception desk" at
osm.org/node/10230966127

The one you mapped mentions it is outdoor, but that could have been added by mistake (no worries, it can happen). It is useful to describe exactly where the defibrillator is located (level, room, facility, wall/desk/...), if possible.
(level is additionally described by 'level' tag)

There is currently no street level imagery of the souterrain (?) in front of the hotel, only outside of the ground floor.
https://api.panoramax.xyz/#pic=35fff52b-d737-4afc-839e-bdb05b032be7&focus=pic

If you are willing, you can take a picture (preferably of both, if they are different) and upload it to one of the following applications, where you can also add more information.
(the first one you are using already)
- [OpenAEDMap](https://openaedmap.org/nl/#map=19/52.6497559/-7.25309&node_id=12964102501) (Web, Android, iOS);
Photo uploaded to and permanently hosted on their own server only.
- [MapComplete](https://mapcomplete.org/aed?z=18.6&lat=52.649820742620705&lon=-7.252925834794496#node/12964102501) (Web, mobile web);
Photo uploaded to and permanently hosted on [Panoramax](https://panoramax.fr/).
- [StreetComplete](https://streetcomplete.app/) (Android, currently [being ported to iOS](https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421));
Photo uploaded to and hosted on their own server, only temporarily until limited time after note is closed.
(which means it can not be used at later time to verify details anymore..)
You will have to look for the Defibrillator Location quest (or other quest at the same exact position), while for adding a photo or other details they have their own [Notes features](osm.wiki/StreetComplete#Additional_Features).

Mentioned applications host photos using an open license (or are otherwise compatible), allowing other contributors to use them for OpenStreetMap.

If you only want to add more information, you can also do this directly in the "iD editor" (Click on "Edit" on osm.org), or by [opening a note](osm.wiki/Notes#Using_notes) on osm.org.

If you have any questions on how to map, you can contact your (local) community at
https://openstreetmap.community/?map=52.63517,-7.04645&zoom=5.46
or start a thread on
https://community.openstreetmap.org/

Happy mapping :-)

167749632 2 months ago

Hey enable_15,

This is an object which was surveyed (not added from aerial imagery) by a user who likes to add additional detail. This might be correct (solely inaccurate) data, though it is not always flawless (first part can be checked by looking at object history, second part you would need to know the mappers of course, third part some tagging experience is useful)
It is likely they added 'unknown' because it is not signed on this specific object (numerous old sewer vents have their manufacturer signed, modern ones do less/not)
It might be better replaced with manufacturer:signed=no .
Understandably, contributors do not always take a (permanent, compatibly licensed) picture, so it is okay if this is hard to verify for you.
You can always ask the user in the changeset where they added the tag if you are unsure.

I would suggest starting with simple mapping for your first changes, not jumping into challenges and automated edits straight away.
Generally, you should start with small changes and keep them local
osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets
(here: size is proverbially speaking, this specific changeset's size (single object) is fine.)
Otherwise, make sure you check each object manually and properly research, document and communicate your changes.

Hey ViktoriaU,

Thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap.

Make sure you follow the guidelines on adding names, especially abbreviated ones.
osm.wiki/Names
(others you added are abbreviated, but should likely not be.)

For other useful tips, see
osm.wiki/Good_practice

Also, are your changes also part of an [organised effort](osm.wiki/Organised_Editing) for 'walking data accuracy'? (just curious, eventhough it seems you are on your own)

If you have any questions about how to contribute, you can contact the (local) community at
https://openstreetmap.community/?map=52.35708,-7.70490&zoom=9
or open a thread on the forums

Hey GOduori,

Do not reclassify highways without proper reason, please.

This road is unlikely to be a secondary road.
- It only connects two secondary roads (and minor/private roads), not directly i.e. two residential areas.
- It was previously classified as 'unclassified', which in OpenStreetMap (OSM)-terms means
'minor road', see
osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dunclassified
Other roads in this area are also minor or tertiary, depending on their restrictions.
- It goes through a park, which might indicate restrictions / ownership.
- It is gated on both sides, which might indicate a possible physical barrier and restrictions / ownership.

It is not even possibly through-road.
Go to 'Edit' (this is the editor called 'iD'), and in the right sidebar click on 'Data Layers', scroll down to 'Photo Overlays'(street-level imagery) and choose Mapillary.
(there is a 'Date range' slider below)
- Destinations signed are minor; park, zoo..
(there is not clear image of all signs)
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=259616369186816&focus=photo
- It is signed as prohibiting 'commercial vehicles'.
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1762891911107468&focus=photo
- The maxspeed is 30 km/h
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1323198022270691&focus=photo
- Further down it is one-way single lane road
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1186875451742658&focus=photo
- then becomes a 'No through traffic' / 'cul de sac'
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=142607761165803&focus=photo
- which ends at row of bollards at both ends
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=795899111312268&focus=photo
(at this way segment
osm.org/way/1037781266/history ); though image is from 2018.
- Onto Acres road there is a stop sign, so way does not have priority.
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=278653290630379&focus=photo
- Also last segment is one-way road in opposite direction, without priority.
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1480276479182064&focus=photo

From your changeset comment, this change was based solely on getting improper/missing result(s) from a query using overpass.
From your changeset details, it is likely you used only the Bing aerial imagery (which, though it is the best in this area, is also the standard imagery in the iD editor); this is understandable, as you are a relatively new contributor.
However, it seems not based on survey, local knowledge (which may include news article), sources available in the editor or other compatible source (not proprietary/copyright, i.e. not Google Maps), nor does it explicitly mention a proper reason for reclassifying these highways in the changeset comment.

Incorrect result by such applications is usually an error in the query, or alternatively application, not directly in the map data.

Changing map data in such way is considered 'Mapping for external application' and is prohibited by OSM guidelines;
Changing map data (usually incorrectly) for application (i.e. renderer, browser, router, validator etc.) to return results solely for personal (sometimes malicious) reasons (i.e. different use / avoiding dev. work, decorative, opiniated/political, etc.). See also
osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer

Make sure to follow the (local) guidelines or concensus on for example tags for highways.
osm.wiki/United_Kingdom#Guidelines

Be careful when changing highways, especially reclassifications but also roads with relations (i.e. bus routes, turn restrictions). Editing these without prior knowledge, especially with the basic iD editor, might accidentally introduce errors (moving nodes, disordering or breaking relations). It is better to make such advanced changes with more experience and JOSM editor.
osm.wiki/JOSM
(Changes on larger scale should be discussed prior with the (local) community.)

Also, you should provide a proper description and reason of your changes in your changeset comment when saving (preferably for most if not all changesets), so other mappers can understand and validate your changes more easily.
osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

If you have made any other changes which could be considered similarly incorrect, you should request them to be reverted by contacting the Data Working Group (DWG)

Hey Michael,

Be careful when validating/editing.

osm.org/node/10801169425/history
I assume you extracted artwork node from wall. Why did you do this?
Artwork node on wall is usually okay, even if of type sculpture/statue/installation/... (which this is not)

osm.org/node/10801169424
survey point is even explicitly usually part of wall or similar.
osm.wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dsurvey_point

Do not blindly trust the validator application(!)
osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_remove_objects_that_you_don't_need_or_like

If object is too close to something else then it might be better viewed with a different editor application / check if editor application has a way to do so, i.e. in iD press W for wireframe mode, or in iD/JOSM use data filters, or in 3D editor select level/layer.
If it shares a node with entrance / highway it is not always wrong, some mappers may just approach this differently.
Accepting fixes from validator blindly may also result in connecting it to different, unrelated objects.
You can always ask in changeset from contributor why they placed it so close / connected it to something else.

Regards,

Daniel
