54821722 | over 7 years ago | As you are reverting other edits, and leaving your own comments, I assume you are experienced, in which case you should be aware of the "name is name only" rule: osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only You appear to have misused the name and name:fr tags to provide what are actually descriptions. Also, could I suggest that, in Canada, you should provide name:en as well as name;fr, even if the official name is in English (similarly for descriptions). See https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60885 for further discussion of this. |
54766633 | over 7 years ago | As well as points note on the forum, the filter lane needs to marked as one way. Also, although you can't get the proper geometry until you split the East and West carriageways, I would say it needs to join Elder Creek Road much closer to the junction - at the moment it suggest a slip road. I would also plot additional points on the curve, so it looks smoother. |
53681963 | almost 8 years ago | Name appears to be incorrectly spelled. As well as the name that looks like it should be Summer, Drive should not be abbreviated to Driv. (Names should never be abbreviated to fit.) |
53174156 | almost 8 years ago | Please see https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60286 with regard to how to use name tags (only name, no abbreviations, not for renderer), and also to consider whether this is really an un-named path which should be a member of an alternative route. Also, I cannot see how you knew the correct route based on your sources, as any trace the sea floor is presumably destroyed by the water. Please do not use guidebooks, maps on signs, etc., as these are copyright and can only be used if there is a licence acceptable to OSM. |
53448614 | almost 8 years ago | Change building=yes to building=bunker |

47049523 | almost 8 years ago | Your naming of 39 Mount Sinai Rise is being challenged on the OSM Questions and Answers Forum; https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=59863 |
48255996 | almost 8 years ago | What is the source for the footpath from the Conway Gardens footbridge to Proyer's path? It is completely invisible on the ground, except for a PROW sign at the Conway Gardens side of the bridge, which doesn't show the route. As such it seems to fail the "on the ground" test to me. Whilst this one is actually marked as grass, which might be a hint to a router to ignore it, although Grasshopper doesn't, I've just reported a similar problem to Google Maps, and I would have hoped for better from OSM. (Google even route cars trying to get to the social housing on Nightingale Avenue, to the Conway Gardens area, presumably because they think it is a nearer public road.) I suspect there is a need for a public right of way that isn't actually a path. Incidentally, the park gets very boggy along this route, in the Winter, and, in dry weather, the best route to the station, from Conway Gardens, is a straight line from the railway bridge. |
50354682 | almost 8 years ago | If you know the extent of the Kadwa Centre grounds, it would be helpful if you added them to the map. In fact, the name should be attached to the grounds, rather than the building. The whole site will be an amenity=*, but I'm not sure exactly what sort of amenity to use for these. amenity=community_centre would be a starting point, although I suspect this is more like halls for hire, for which I'm not sure of the tag. Also, all the service roads within the grounds should be tagged with access=private, or access=customers, as appropriate. |
50354682 | almost 8 years ago | Also note that parking aisles are part of car parks, so it is not normal to show distinct car parks on each side of an aisle. Please only do this if they have different attributes, e.g. customer versus staff, or different owners. |
50354682 | almost 8 years ago | I'm pretty sure none of the car parks around Kenmore Avenue are available for general public use, but, by not specifying an access tag, that is what you are telling routing software. Please consider adding access tags. |
50888110 | about 8 years ago | I notice that most of the Hoedinger Tobel is already mapped as access=no. It is only the westernmost bit that isn't. There is also a change from track to path, where the access changes, which I suspect is not real. As it is on administrative boundary, I think different sources have been used for the two parts. |
50888110 | about 8 years ago | Is this a restriction on entry at this particular point, or is it a restriction on the whole length? In the latter case, you should add an access=no tag to the main feature. In the former case, you should add the appropriate barrier=* tag to the point on the way that people are not allowed to pass, and tag that with access=no. If there is a physical barrier, this is worth mapping, in this way, even if the there is no access to the whole length. Without knowing exactly what the situation is, it is difficult to be more precise than that. What you should never do is to use the name=* tag to describe something. It should only ever contain the official name. In many cases that may mean there is no name at all. You can add note:access=* to the feature explaining more about the notice, and you should also mention the notice in the changeset comments, or in the source tag on the changeset itself. Although I've not used maps.me, I have seen a lot of cases where it has produced bad mapping. I think it may work for people who are experienced mappers, but it does seem to have resulted in a lot of need for repair, and a lot of map notes that are not useful. |
50888110 | about 8 years ago | "(closed)" would be meta data and should not form any part of the name. (I too think maps.me is harming the map. Normally maps.me users don't respond to changeset comments, but this user has also posted to a forum. I think I will add a map note as well.) |
50888110 | about 8 years ago | The name:en doesn't make sense. I'm also concerned that gesperrt isn't really part of the name, but is actually meta data. The fact that it isn't capitalised adds weight to that concern. There is also no need for name:de if it is the same as name. If you add name:en, it should be because that name actually appears on a sign at the site (or the place is very famous and the English name is widely known), and is different from name. Please do not mechanically translate the German name if you don't know the English one. |
49916509 | about 8 years ago | This is not extending a track, it is adding a new track that just shares a node with another one. Please try not to create new objects unless they have different attributes. |
31763002 | about 8 years ago | It is being suggested, on https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=650461 and https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=649766 that part of this route is impassible to buses. Also, the discussion there suggests that the original source listed hasn't been approved for use on OSM. |
45111512 | over 8 years ago | Are the bunkers in current use? If so, it seems unusual that they are not on land with a landuse of military. If not, they should have a lifecycle modifier osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix |
47837321 | over 8 years ago | name should never be used for anything other than the actual name of the object. In particular it should not be used as a description to try and get that rendered. See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only and osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer |
48782920 | over 8 years ago | You have mapped several car parks without access restrictions, which means that routing software, etc., will treat them as being available for use by anyone. However the locations and sizes suggest that these are actually for customer user only, and, in the case of the smaller one for the clinic may only be for staff. |
