Welcoming new mappers around your mapping patch

Hi Dr Kludge,

How about using thank you for your contribution even if it is not the most stellar edit?

Yes I also do that.

Big brother shows up and the other shoe falls. If the mapper is timid, then they may become embarrassed that they made a mistake.

This is a possibility, but from my previous interactions, they do appreciate the feedback.

Fixing split buildings in LA

@mvexel, Yes! Maproulette is awesome! And I have issues ;) https://github.com/osmlab/labuildings/issues/104#issuecomment-238489764

1 million buildings in Los Angeles

@ElliottPlack, We don’t have specific tools other than replace geom and Auto-tools. But definitely a good conflation tool/workflow is necessary. We have good use cases now to specout how to do this. Also, there’s a planned import of building height in SF. Will watch this and learn.

@kucai, I have not downloaded latest map data for OSMAnd, so I can’t say for sure.

@Omnific, Definitely on the radar, but we are still investigating on a good workflow. So far, we are focusing on buildings. Suggestions welcome!

@CloCkWeRX, Sorry, I should have made that clearer.

Let's map missing turn restrictions in Canada

@Skippern, I pinged the Mapillary team about your issue, see: https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_issues/issues/1839#issuecomment-234183791

Do comment on the ticket if you continue to notice the issue. Thanks!

Old Satellite Imagery of the Philippines

Where exactly?

Cleaning up data by properties using Overpass and JOSM

This is obviously wrong in the Philippines. Thanks for fixing @planemad!

Welcome to the new Missing Maps

Some comments here suggest that MissingMaps and Humanitarian mapping is purely remote mappingand does not build a local community. In some cases the humanitarian mapping is the gateway to build the local community. See recent post here:

Mapathon at the American Embassy

Nice to see the next generation of mappers in the pic!

Sidewalk tags in Cluj-Napoca (Cluj county, RO) - IN PROGRESS

This is great. We are doing similar work on sidewalk in the US, see: osm.org/user/srividya_c/diary/37594

There are several ways to map sidewalks, but, I encourage you to look on the above post if its relevant for you.

Keep on mapping!

Combine Major highways using scripting plugin

@DaCor,

avoid merging where pieces belong to relations?

Yes.

Adding missing towns and villages in OSM

@MapMakingMeyers, I saw your diary about India villages. Were you able to categorize from BGA data which of the populated places/settlemenst are towns, cities and villages? I cannot find any reference in CSV columns.

Thanks for helping, btw. Happy thanksgiving!
