Hello Mahsa,

Per my comment on changeset 99615513 (osm.org/changeset/99615513) this building was demolished. It. Does. Not. Exist.

I have once again summarily deleted it. Stop adding it back.

Hi Nicole,

The building part you added at 1st St SW & Daqing Avenue no longer exists. It was demolished a few years ago. I have summarily deleted it.

Please be mindful of the age of background satellite imagery.

Thanks

Hello Nabila,

I have deleted the cricket pitch node you added in this change set, and other nodes and ways you had added in this area in the last hour or so across several changesets.

This is a duplicate; the cricket pitch area is already mapped (and tagged properly).

Hello khartley,

I have changed this stretch of "9A Street" back to a sidewalk. It is quite literally just a 1.5ish m wide footpath.

Hello Mahsa,

This building was demolished last year, it no longer exists. I deleted it from the map three days ago (osm.org/changeset/99408157). I have summarily deleted it from the map again. Please note the age of the aerial imagery you are using for reference; it is sometimes out of date.

Thanks

Hello Sylvia,

Your reclassification of a number of roads in downtown Calgary is incorrect. Please review osm.wiki/Key:highway and osm.wiki/Calgary#Road_tagging_guidelines for more information, and please desist making more of these changes until you have had a chance to more thoroughly review what these classifications actually mean.

Please note that if you are unsure about your changes you can mark them for review by more experienced contributors by clicking the "I would like someone to review my edits" checkbox.

Thanks!

Hi Laura,

Just a heads up: you don't need to add nodes like this to add information about the Girls' School: information like the address and website was already tagged in the 'area' of the school campus. Similarly for the church across the street, the 'area' of the building was already tagged.

In fact you *shouldn't* add these nodes, because then it will duplicate the information. A third-party software that uses OSM for its map data will see two sets of data for each of these things, and will unnecessarily duplicate it.

Hi Pedro,

Best practice is to NOT use the name to tag an object on the map with its use, or a description of its use. See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only. So, if this particular body of water had a name, say it was well-known as "Golden Pond", then and only then would we put a name to it.

I see this lots, for example on sidewalks and paths that have a name of "sidewalk". You don't need to call a sidewalk "sidewalk", we know it's a sidewalk from the tags.

I've changed the tagging of this 'pond' to a 'retention basin' instead. See osm.wiki/Tag:basin%3Dretention. I added a description, saying it's a stormwater retention pond and that swimming is not permitted.

See https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/corporate-communications/locations/bowmont-off-leash.pdf

Well that's embarrassing... The link to the park layout is at https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/csps/recreation/documents/athletic-parks/foothills-athletic-park-map.pdf...

Well according to the change history you've done it twice. You changed it in changeset 91568557, I changed it back the next day in 91593786, and you changed it back in this one, 91888314...

Hi 0b0e. I have reverted your changes to the SW BRT once again. Please stop tagging that road as a bus guideway. It is *not* a bus guideway, it's just a regular road that happens to be accessible only to buses.

Please read osm.wiki/Tag:highway=bus%20guideway to understand the differences. A bus guideway is a road wherein the buses are steered by external means, e.g. a track or special curbs. This road is simply a two-lane, bus-only road where the bus drivers must operate the buses as normal, so it is properly tagged as highway=service, access=no, bus=designated.

Please desist from changing it back to highway=bus_guideway.

And with respect to the 'merge point' west of here: eh, even if it's not at precisely the right spot it's close enough, it won't affect the accuracy of the traffic movement in any meaningful way.

Never mind, I was trying to work backward through the edit history in this area; I thought you'd blown away the north side of the intersection, not changeset 91391439. I can absolutely, positively, 100% confirm that the bridge was NOT open as recent as Tuesday evening, no matter what the traffic advisory said.

This will all be open shortly so at this point putting it back the way it was is moot. I'm just annoyed (not at you) that people with itchy trigger fingers jumped the gun on this. I added a note (osm.org/note/2060528) stating that the at-grade intersection was temporary, in the misguided hope that people would leave it alone until the completed, final road alignment actually opened...

*sigh*

I drove through about half an hour ago: the bridge isn't open, the at-grade intersection is still there...

You have deleted the temporary at-grade intersection at 69 St & Stoney Trail and have changed tags along the Stoney Trail alignment from "highway=construction" to "highway=motorway" without deleting the "construction=*" tags.

Can you corroborate that the new bridge at 69 St is actually open? According to the project website it won't be until Oct 1 (see http://www.swcrrproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/SWCRR-Traffic-Advisory-Discovery-Ridge-Boulevard-Roadway-Alignment-Change-September-20-2020.pdf), and from personal experience four days ago (Sep 21) it isn't open yet.

If you can't, can you please roll back these changes? The road will be done *soon*, but the map shouldn't be updated until it is actually open.

Thanks

Hi there, I deleted the two features you added here. You added historic *pillories*, not *pillars*. A pillory is a lockable frame with holes for a person's head and hands, used to punish and humiliate people long ago. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillory)

I've modified the geometry of the Chinook Centre building to encompass the detail of the pillars. I think that should suffice for showing the detail of the building's shape.

An as a reminder, please don't use the "name" tag to describe a feature on the map. Some very prominent—usually historic—building features have names, but generally they don't. You can tag things with "description" instead.

Cheers

FYI the "official name" tag is used where a more common name is the one is typically used. It's not actually very common to need to tag something with "official_name=*".

Road names in Calgary should be "<Name> <Road type> <QD>", where 'QD' is the quadrant abbreviated to two letters. E.g. this road actually is named Edworthy Street, not Patrick Avenue (no idea where that came from), so the name as it should appear in the tag is "Edworthy Street SW". (I've already made this change.)

:)

FYI I have removed the "old name" tag from Battalion Park. I think you may have misinterpreted the wikipedia article about this park. The soldiers who hauled the rocks and deposited them on the hillside here trained at Camp Sarcee, but Camp Sarcee (or "Sarcee Camp") was not here: it was located southeast, roughly where the Grey Eagle Casino is now. The camp eventually became Sarcee Barracks, later Harvey Barracks (part of CFB Calgary), before being returned to the Tsuut'ina in 1998.
