Hi, thanks... yes, my suspicion here was that cycleway=shared_lane may well be incorrect for this way and planned to confirm with a local user. Sorry I neglected to mention that in the changeset.

Thanks for letting me know -- I will reset these tags. J

Why?

Hi Nandinho18 -- it appears that you're renaming map features with new names in Spanish. Unless the original primary name of the feature is in Spanish, please use the "name:es" field instead of the "name" field for Spanish names. Thanks, jmapb

It's an issue for anyone monitoring changes in a particular area -- these spatially large changesets will give false positives. I doubt you made any changes in Cuba (hard to tell without clicking though four pages and checking each node) but people watching for changesets that affect Cuba will see this one anyway.

These large changsets also tend to overwhelm the OSM QA tools, see
https://nrenner.github.io/achavi/?changeset=69427274 for example.

Great, thanks!

Hi 3xodus, thanks for your updates... if possible, please try in the future to keep your changesets in a smaller geographic area. Within a single city is best. Thanks, jmapb.

Hi RT24, welcome to NYC and thanks for your contributions!

Just so you know, there's no need to add state info to addresses in Manhattan -- or really almost anywhere in the USA. Obviously if it's correct information it doesn't hurt anything, but state (also city and, obviously, country) will be deduced from the node's location. Just an FYI to save you time.

(Personally I make an exception for places that are near state lines and potentially ambiguous.)

Happy mapping, jmapb

Howdy TheBestIdea, just wondering what the meaning of width=0 is on the Manhattan Bridge cycleway:

Hi Jessak71 -- What's up with these overlapping buildings?

Hi EmmaHawk, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for your contributions! I'm a mapper active in the NYC area and have a few notes about this addition.

The purpose of the "website" key is to add official contact information published online by the feature in question. If this gallery itself has a website, its url should go under the website key. But a Timeout article discussing an exhibit at the gallery should not be considered the gallery's official website.

If the TImeout article is the source of your information, it would be good to include the link in your changeset comments. (Some mappers may disagree with the practice of using magazines as a source for map objects, but that's a different discussion -- the important thing is to be clear about where the information is coming from.)

Also, it seems that Rorschach is not the name of this gallery, but rather the name of a temporary exhibition there that will be closing this weekend. If the gallery itself will last longer, try to find a permanent name for it. If it's just a popup location for this temporary exhibit, it probably shouldn't be added to OpenStreetMap -- best practices are not to map temporary features, and an exhibit that lasts only 12 days would definitely fall into that category.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions -- I'm happy to assist with this or anything else on the map.

happy mapping, jmapb

Hi lawofficesofbrucedkatz, Manhattan is a borough name but not a valid city name for the address field. Setting the city to Manhattan will interfere with geocoding this business. Thanks, jmapb

Partially reverted in changeset 69288832. Airy14, please let me know if you'd like to discuss. J

Hi Yifei Li, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

I removed the address tags from this building way because it has several entrances with different addresses. That's the standard that's been adopted in NYC since the building footprint import in 2013 -- buildings with only one address are get address tags on the building, and those with multiple addresses have individual address nodes inside the building footprint, or entrance nodes on the perimeter.

160 East 32nd is used for most of the medical facilities on the north side of the building, but there are also some at 150 East 32nd, plus the residential entrance on East 31st and the business addresses on the avenues.

Let me know if I've misunderstood the situation, but otherwise I believe the address tags should be removed from the building itself. The address 160 East 32nd will still be in the database as it's encoded as an entrance node [ osm.org/node/4703727084 ] and is also on all of the appropriate medical POI nodes.

Let me know if you have any questions -- I'm happy to assist any way I can.

Thanks, jmapb

I've uploaded changeset 69181797 which does a partial revert of this changeset, restoring the closure.

promiseofbirth: Please communicate with your fellow mappers! You're not in this alone! When you see something like this closure, check for notes, fixmes, history and comments. Check the date of the previous changesets and the date of any imagery you're using. And ask questions! Not everything can be accurately mapped from remote. If you can't survey in person, PLEASE ask for clarification or leave a note on the map.

Thanks, jmapb

Hi Low Level M, thanks for fixing this business name. Please note, though, that's it's not necessary correct to remove the shop=chemist tag from a pharmacy. It's very possible for a place to be both, and in fact, in the USA I'd say this is more often true than not.

thanks, jmapb

Hi Gorbs -- I was still watching changeset 68986296 and did not realize that you were continuing to make new changes.

Please stop making changes to the subways for now. When you make additional changes to the same objects, it's much harder to cleanly revert previous changesets.

I have reverted this changeset (69075100) with changeset 69132368. I'll now go back and attempt to revert the previous ones.

I look forward to joining the larger discussion of this topic whenever it occurs. In the mean time, please don't use the NYC subway system for your tests.

Thanks, jmapb

Hi promiseofbirth, the Bobby Wager Walk still has a closed section awaiting repairs. I tagged the closed section with access=no and clearly indicated this in my description and fixme:

osm.org/way/654051378/history

Why did you remove this closure?
