"I assume all of this is true of the City tag too?"
Yes, though depending on where you look there may be also census boundary tagged as admin boundary, or no city boundary at all.

Smaller areas only very rarely have a boundary relation mapped, depending on their (legal) status.

"Do you know of a way to extract the county administrative boundary for a node?"
No, I'm not a developer, so I don't have experience with this. You should use a geocoder like Nominatim, or related application.

Hey there,

This can happen for various reasons
- Counties in OpenStreetMap can be derived from the (admin) boundary.
- County names are not required for county towns in postal adressing.
- (some) counties are (partially) historical, no longer administrative, which makes them look redundant.
- (counties are no longer required by international post in -for what I read on it- Northern Ireland, UK, etc. so some armchair mappers may not be used to it.)
- Most people are not willing to spend their voluntary time filling in such identical details for each building, POI and address.
- This could possibly be automized, though with exception of some addresses which include a non-geographical county name.
- The database is still missing many addresses, so for many this is a priority over adding such details.
- People are not adding them (nor is anyone telling them to), which makes it easy to overlook it as mistake to add or remove it.

Similarly, the "addr:country" and "is_in" tag is widely regarded as redundant, yet is still in-use in OpenStreetMap. See
osm.wiki/Key:is_in

I occasionally add it myself, but I also occasionally remove it. I add it on objects which are tied to a specific place or have an unconventional address (to make it as complete as possible, why not). I remove it from some other POIs as there I'm unsure of the added value(quality) of such a rarely, inconsistently added, largely redundant key.
In either case it could be added or removed as you'd want. Most geocoders already use the boundaries and most (large) boundaries are already in OpenStreetMap.

If you'd like to keep it it's fine with me. Note, it's possible some armchair mapper will occasionally come along and remove it.
You can discuss this with the local community to come to a consensus, though it is really minor topic..

Regards,

Daniel

It looks like the surface is tagged paving_stones, so a few loosely stacked pavers. Anyhow, I'm fine with leaving it as-is.

Hey Victor,

I would like to suggest changing to description and adding informal=yes to both steps and path.

(oui, il s'agit de la même personne). C'est bien que vous ayez fait appel à la communauté, ne vous inquiétez pas. Heureusement, les Français sont une communauté active, vous pouvez donc toujours leur demander de l'aide si vous en avez besoin.
L'image avec le "titre perturbant" (comme vous le savez peut-être, il a été expliqué sur le forum qu'il n'est pas destiné à être utilisé comme tel, mais il ne se traduit pas bien si vous ne savez pas à quoi il se réfère...) a été ajoutée parce qu'ils venaient personnellement de faire une demande d'autorisation de mise sur le marché de l'image. Sinon, il s'agit d'une description objective) a été ajouté parce qu'ils venaient de l'examiner personnellement et que, bien souvent, il manque encore une meilleure image, une meilleure description ou un meilleur temps. De plus, le document est rédigé dans une autre langue, ce qui le rend plus difficile à trouver pour certaines personnes. Il est compréhensible qu'aucun d'entre vous n'ait pensé à l'ajouter.

Hey PèreForez,

Je comprends votre frustration quant à la mauvaise combinaison de la description de l'image/objet.

Pour votre information, OpenStreetMap et Wikimedia dépendent de contributions volontaires. Toute personne est invitée à apporter sa contribution. Les erreurs sont humaines et nous pouvons généralement les corriger assez facilement. Si quelqu'un commet une erreur, essayez d'en discuter et de vous entraider. À l'avenir, veuillez
(bien qu'il n'y ait pas un ensemble de règles officielles utilisées partout, c'est toujours une bonne pratique de le faire)

Anne prend généralement le temps d'enregistrer ce qu'elle cartographie, de le documenter sur Wikipedia, Wikidata et Wikimedia Commons avec autant de recherches et d'informations que possible, de proposer un système de balisage sur le Wiki OSM et de réaliser des vidéos pour les personnes intéressées afin de leur apprendre l'histoire (lorsque cela est possible et qu'elle a pu faire les recherches nécessaires) et la manière de cartographier ces objets. Malheureusement, elle n'aura pas toujours le temps de répondre aux commentaires, car elle est très concentrée sur la cartographie.

Si vous ne l'avez pas encore fait, voyez les vidéos d'Anne sur les déflecteurs d'urine pour le contexte (en anglais)

Bonne cartographie,

Oh, and as I mentioned you can map a hedge as a line. You can specify the width as "width=...", but we usually don't add it.

If you want to map large areas of shrubs or similar you can look at this page
osm.wiki/Key:natural
You can always ask other mappers if you are unsure.

Hey Jimmy KK and welcome,

Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap!

Your changes look okay. :-)
- Missing spaces in the field names can happen, nothing to worry about.
- It is preferred that areas (i.e. farmland) are not connected to lines/ways (i.e. road). They can be connected to hedges and fences, but are better kept seperate so they are easier to maintain. (also it creates an extra large box around your changes as you can see)

Hey and welcome robbykanyur,

Thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap! Your contributions help improve the map for everyone using the data behind it.

Your changes look okay. Note, access=no prohibits all modes of transport to everyone, whereas access=private allows private (and emergency) access.
access=no is usually only used on construction roads and certain illegally created paths.
(The existing road also has "private")

Regarding
https://twitter.com/robby_rumble/status/1724452226708508984

I understand your concerns regarding inconvenient situations you may come across as an effect of a.o. missing or inaccurate data.

Contributing to OpenStreetMap is voluntary. Also, beginners usually don't understand access right away, and will leave it on default, or accidentally split etc. ways which can cause them to lose some data. Many people aren't a knucklehead; mistakes are human and humans have lives. And, we can usually correct those fairly easily.

As for applications using the data, there is generally some delay before the data gets to the application, so it may take some time to see your changes there. On the main openstreetmap.org you can wait some time and then try refreshing your cache (Ctrl + Shift + F5, or similar, depends on the browser). Changes will take longer to show up for lower zoom levels and marine coastlines.

Have you considered talking to the developer cooeecall on Reddit? It seems the app is including ways which are unreachable; this road looks like it could only be reached via the existing private road. This should preferably not happen, eventhough there are some legitimate unconnected ways (collectively called 'islands') which can be reached (like actual islands).
https://www.reddit.com/r/wandrer/

You should also join the (local) community via
https://openstreetmap.community/?map=41.79761,-87.56654&zoom=5.38
(OpenStreetMap US Slack is recommended for the US.)
They will not bite (or fight) and are always happy to improve trails and access mapping across the country.

Have fun riding and mapping! :-)

Regards,

Daniel
