Hi, what does drink:beer=village_green mean?
osm.org/way/1112534662
Was this maybe a mistake that should be removed?

Hi, could you please have a look at note osm.org/note/4312048? Thanks!

In short, judging from out of copyright NLS Maps, this is a place name / a name for this part of the river, not a swimming pool, and I suspect the Maproulette challenge that changed it to swimming_pool may have been mistaken about the assumption that all places tagged water=pool were used for swimming. Do you know that this place is actually used for swimming?

There are new bus lane controls here, northbound is bus and cycle only, 24/7, southbound is bus, cycle and taxi only from noon to 6am, according to the council. I'd like to map these once I get a chance to check in person

Hi, which map specifically was behaving as if buses were also one way only? OpenStreetMap.org doesn't have bus routing. Asking because it might be an issue with the map/app (so could be useful to let the developers know)

Hi you might want to check osm.org/way/217947523 :-) looks like you moved a node by accident

Hi, could you please have a look at note osm.org/note/4312048? Thanks!

Hi, you changed water=pool to sport=swimming as part of a Maproulette challenge to change incorrect swimming pool tags. But judging from out of copyright NLS Maps, this is a place name / a name for this part of the river, not a swimming pool. Anyway, I'm getting in touch to ask if you know that this spot is actually used for swimming. I'm also wondering if the Maproulette challenge you did maybe made the wrong assumption that the tag water=pool had always been used for swimming pools... (Here's a photo of the area, I can't see a swimming pool: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4768275)

Nevermind - I've realised you split it into a coastline way and a single-member island relation!

Happy mapping!

Hi, this changeset removed place=island from Maîtresse Île, was that intentional?

Hi! Thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap. You requested a review on your changeset so I have had a look. You changed access=destination for this road to access=private. access=destination is for when the only people allowed to walk or drive down the road are visitors trying to reach the school, e.g. to drop off a child or to make a delivery. Access=private is for when walking or driving down this road is only possible by permission (e.g. if it's only for staff).

I noticed that the southern part of the road at osm.org/way/5324370 is not marked as private. Should it be marked as private too?

Just to let you know I've changed this to a specific tag for splash pads (playground=splash_pad), hope that's OK!

I have written code to find islands (areas with place=island or =islet) within water bodies (areas with natural=water) where the island lies entirely within the water body, so the water body should be a multipolygon, when it isn't. This is for the challenge I described in https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/invisible-islands/108127.

Unfortunately the library that I used says the island (692587227) is “within” the river area with ID 854475224, which it isn’t: it’s between two river areas, so it's not inside either of them. So this island should never have appeared in my Maproulette challenge. I’ve reported this as a bug (https://github.com/clarisma/geodesk-py/issues/57), and once it gets fixed (the developers are usually really quick), I should be able to identify and exclude all affected cases from the MR challenge. I’ll also review those that have already been marked as “fixed” to make sure the edits are correct.

Hi, could you have a look at this note please?
osm.org/note/4209470

I've been looking at this map which was in the edi.bike newsletter, it's a great visualisation of the OSM cycle path data in Edinburgh https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1780187384266588494.html

Thanks! That was a lot of really useful information. Based on the email I have updated the tags for the sections here.

Here is the link for the water multipolygon: https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/relation/17061996

I made this Maproulette challenge, and I am commenting here because SomeoneElse asked me to clarify the instructions.

Trying to figure out what happened here. The challenge shows users islands that are likely to be submerged, because someone drew a way inside a water body, tagged it place=island, and didn't make it a member of the surrounding water body.

osm.org/way/692587227 is a bit odd: it doesn't need to be an 'inner' to the surrounding water body because it's between two water bodies (osm.org/way/854475224 and osm.org/way/854475223), so adding it to the MP will make it invalid.

I can add this scenario to the instructions, asking mappers to leave such examples alone.

However, in this case it looks like a bit more went wrong: The place=islet tag should normally remain on the island, but in this case it was removed from the island (https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/692587227) and added to the water multipolygon (https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/692587227).
@huozhe: do you think there is anything else that could be improved about the instructions to make them better?

At least in my city the convention is essentially that a POI node represents a shopfront (though the nodes typically duplicate the address tags). When the shop closes, we mark it as disused. When it reopens, we update the tags.

While it's closed, StreetComplete, Every Door etc. will regularly ask their users if someone new has moved into the vacant unit, so keeping the node around is practically useful, it encourages resurveying.

If the building is demolished or the shop unit converted to residential, we of course delete the node.

Hi, I guess the deletion of osm.org/way/762653925/ was accidental?

Yes, please don't delete shops just because they are closed :-)
