64065776 | over 6 years ago | Hi Cloey Kim, thanks for contributing to the map. Just wanted to mention that we don't normally add Airbnb apartments to OpenStreetMap unless they LOOK like businesses, ie, if there's a sign visible from from the street. If it's just a normal residential apartment, better not to add it. Thanks, J |
64016108 | over 6 years ago | Dobry den! I see you've fixed way 338206957 and partially fixed way 417746456. I just submitted changeset 64054624 to restore way 417746456 to its original state and remove the auto drawn in as way 639423126. jmb |
64016108 | over 6 years ago | Hi Fikek123, thanks for your interest in OpenStreetMap. Unfortunately the three edits you made in this changeset are problematic. Way 417746456 is not a storage tank. Way 338206957 is not a parking lot. And way 639423126, while correctly identified by satellite imagery as an automobile, is out of scope for the OpenStreetMap project (we don't map things that are presumed to be temporary.) If I'm mistaken about these edits please let me know, otherwise I plan to revert this changeset. Please see the Beginner's Guide in the OSM wiki for information on how we map: Thanks, jmb |
63833625 | almost 7 years ago | Same to you, and thanks for helping make my city beautiful! |
63833625 | almost 7 years ago | I've been using operator=FDNY, but I've got no quarrel with operator="New York City Fire Department" -- especially if FDNY is now part of the station names. |
63833625 | almost 7 years ago | Personally I have no problem with the names all starting with FDNY. I like the idea of consistency here. It's worth noting that there's a lot of variation between the names as they appear on that list and the way they're written on the firehouses themselves. I've been inclined to go with the list version of the name, as it seems more up-to-date. (For example, many firehouses in Brooklyn still have "BFD" on their signs, from when Brooklyn was its own city -- over 100 years ago.) |
63833625 | almost 7 years ago | Hi robgeb -- what source are you using for these fire stations? I've been using this list to get the official names for the firehouses: https://data.ny.gov/Public-Safety/FDNY-Firehouse-Listing/hc8x-tcnd/data Are you simply prepending "FDNY " to these names, or do you have another source? |
62652354 | almost 7 years ago | IANAL, but to my reading the import guidelines are pretty clear on this: If a collection of data found online is not explicitly licensed in a compatible way, get permission before importing. If "verifying the location" means contacting each club and verifying the name and address, then I'd say we're in the clear here -- by my thinking, that's not an import of someone else's data, it's original research. But if it just means finding the location via iD and putting a node there, I'm not convinced. See https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/4936/how-can-i-import-pois-from-a-postgis-database-into-openstreetmap for some further info -- that question deals with a direct bulk import, but with a dataset this size the principles are the same. Just because the nodes have been added in several changesets using iD, that doesn't mean the import guidelines don't apply. |
62652354 | almost 7 years ago | Thanks for the reply. Since there's no indication on the teamusa.org website that the list of clubs is in the public domain, it's advised to get written permission before importing them. See:

63267597 | almost 7 years ago | I mean "public bookcase." Yeesh. |
63267597 | almost 7 years ago | Oops, finger slipped, clearly this isn't downtown Ossining. Changeset comment should be "add public library." |
62652354 | almost 7 years ago | Hi hstremcha -- Can you link to the source of the list you're working from for these weightlifting clubs? |
62589650 | almost 7 years ago | Ugh, how did I get those HOT hashtags on there? Ignore them, obviously. |
62347800 | almost 7 years ago | noch ein mal danke! |
62097521 | almost 7 years ago | Danke! |
61839373 | almost 7 years ago | Hi AJB1998 -- this looks like another import of medical facilities. It's an improvement over your previous changeset 61782997 because at least most of these nodes appear to land on buildings, and only one in the middle of the street:
Based on these two nodes, which mark buildings that are already tagged on the map, it appears that you're not checking the current state of the map data, but rather importing blindly:
Again, there's no way to know where your data is coming from without source tags or comments, and these imports need to be discussed with the Imports mailing list beforehand. Please COMMUNICATE with your fellow mappers! And please spend some time cleaning up this data. |
61835074 | almost 7 years ago | Thanks. The opening_hours, also, was something that I surveyed in person -- either from the door or the menu, I can't remember. I'm guessing yours is from the web site, but I think we should honor the info on the ground over what's posted on the web. |
61835074 | almost 7 years ago | Hi -- wondering what your reasoning is for removing the amenity=cafe tag from
|
61782997 | almost 7 years ago | User has not responded to personal message or changeset comment -- reverted in changeset 61830362 |
61782997 | almost 7 years ago | Hi AJB1998 -- This looks like a big import of EMS stations. But they've been added to the map 1) with no changeset comment 2) with no source tag and 3) with no prior discussion on the Imports mailing list. Also, many of the supposed EMS stations appear to be sitting between buildings:
Offhand it looks like there are more erroneous additions than valid ones. I'd like to recommend that you revert this changeset, or, if you prefer, I'm happy to do it for you. After that, please communicate with the Imports mailing list ( see osm.wiki/Mailing_lists ) to discuss correctly importing these items and any future data. Thanks, J |
