67215664 | over 6 years ago | Is this some sort of underground club? Nothing visible at this address except a notice that the previous tenant (Retrofret) has moved. |
66756364 | over 6 years ago | Reverted in changeset 67617678, added St. John's as a node in changeset 67620408 |
67525873 | over 6 years ago | FYI, +1-718-855-2632 is in RFC 3966 format as recommended by the wiki.

67468950 | over 6 years ago | You have to choose between bar and cafe, unless it really actually is two different businesses operating out the same premises. If it looks and feels more like a bar, call it a bar. But there's no reason a bar can't serve coffee, and no reason a cafe can't serve booze. You can indicate that coffee-shop-style food (pastries and the like) is available by tagging "cuisine=coffee_shop". You can indicate that coffee is available by tagging "drink:coffee=yes" (and "drink:espresso=yes" for espresso and espresso-based drinks.) Other common drink tags are drink:tea, drink:wine, drink:liquor, and drink:beer. And you can always add a "description" tag for any information that doesn't fit in the standard tagging schemes. It's a freeform text field. In this case you might add something like "description=cocktail bar with coffee shop service in the mornings", or something like that. |
67468950 | over 6 years ago | (Oh drat.. I just saw there's a missing 0 in the opening hours format. It should be "Mo-Su 08:00-02:00" not "Mo-Su 08:00-2:00".. sorry!) |
67468950 | over 6 years ago | The opening hours format is perfect. A few unrelated notes: - The Erv's node is outside the building's footprint. Not your fault, I know, it was like that when you found it. But if Erv's is inside the building, and I think it is, the node should be moved inside the footprint. - There's no need to fill in the city, state, and country parts of the address -- they'll be deduced from the node's location and zip code. It's not wrong to add them, but it saves time and database space to skip them. (Address tagging styles vary across the globe, but best I can tell this is the local standard -- except in Queens, where the addresses use neighborhood names for the city, so we tend to add those as the city name.) - The original intent of the "brewery" tag was to indicate what brewer a particular bar or pub is associated with -- this is very common in Europe, but much less so here. Some people use this tag to list brands of draft beer available, some use brewery=yes to indicate that there's a brewery onsite, like you did. Personally I think it's better to omit it in 99.9% of the bars in NYC. In the wiki documentation the suggested tags for an onsite brewery are microbrewery=yes (for a brewpub/microbrewery) or craft=brewery (for a larger scale brewing operation, but not large enough to be tagged industrial=brewery).

Erv's looks like a nice place... gotta get over there sometime! |
67434765 | over 6 years ago | oops, my bad! |
67408052 | over 6 years ago | Sure, and just to be clear: Only tag the building itself with business tags if it's a single-purpose building. If it has contains anything else -- apartments upstairs, or even a vacant shop -- better to use a node. Basically, when in doubt, nodes are better. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions -- very happy to help. Good luck & happy mapping! |
67408052 | over 6 years ago | Hi Emily, welcome to OSM! This McDonald's looks great, very thorough! One question -- is this entire building McDonald's? Offhand it looks like it is. When a single business (or other amenity etc) is the sole tenant of a building (ie, the building houses no other businesses or offices or residential units), we usually prefer to put the tags on the building itself rather than using a node. Just to be clear -- the way you did it is *not* incorrect! But putting the tags on the building provides a little extra information, namely that the building is single-purpose. Thanks for contribution -- there are a ton of unmapped businesses in this neighborhood so I hope you will continue mapping! J |
66920048 | over 6 years ago | Ok thanks -- I revised the service_times field to comply with the standard syntax. |
66935245 | over 6 years ago | Hi vioelmaps -- are there really two separate Turkish Grills here? Certainly that's possible, but the fact that they have the same phone number gives me pause. |
66934656 | over 6 years ago | Hi vioelmaps, thanks for you contributions! To answer your question (is that node even necessary?) -- it depends whether CVS is the only thing with the address 41-02 Queens Boulevard. If CVS is the only thing with that address, the extra node should be deleted. If other POIs are using the same address, but they are also mapped separately (eg, if Salt & Fat were also 41-02) then the extra node can still be deleted, because it doesn't refer to anything that's not mapped elsewhere. But if there's something else sharing the same address that's not explicitly mapped -- a vacant business, an entrance to a residence above the shop, or even just a mysterious door marked only with the address -- better to keep the extra address node too. Note that this is usually only an issue for buildings that have multiple addresses -- in this case because the building is on a corner. Buildings with a single address will have the address tags on the building itself and so 1) won't need separate address nodes and 2) POI nodes inside don't need explicit address tags because they will inherit from the building. good luck, jmapb |
66920048 | over 6 years ago | Hi jch8ri -- are the service times you added every day of the week, or Sundays only? |
66756290 | over 6 years ago | Hi, the address you've used is 124 2nd Ave but the node is located inside 122 -- is it possible the node needs to be moved? |
67010452 | over 6 years ago | Hi Oleg -- is osm.org/node/6264915985 really a hospital? It looks a little small. Maybe healthcare=centre or healthcare=clinic would be more appropriate. Also, from imagery it looks like the full name is "Professional Medical Plaza" not just "Medical Plaza". Can you confirm? |
67204539 | over 6 years ago | Great, thanks. I've changed it from amenity=cafe to disused:amenity=cafe. |
67233395 | over 6 years ago | (No other obvious reason for it to be two-way, that is.) |
67233395 | over 6 years ago | Though crossing the lanes of North Conduit might prove difficult in traffic, there's no signage preventing it, and there's no other obvious purpose for the Cranston segment between 138th Ave and North Conduit. |
67204539 | over 6 years ago | Hi dcehlk -- is this location still operating as a cafe under a different name, or is it currently disused? |
66429149 | over 6 years ago | Hi Madi12 -- what's the source for these speed limits? |
