Merci pour la contribution. Normalement les adresses devraient avoir addr: et pas contact:

Thanks for the reply. No worries. I've removed the tag for now.

OK. I don't know enough about the Russian language to comment, but if monuments/memorials are named that way in Russian, of course it makes sense to have that as the name tag.
However, I have enough knowledge of English and Chinese to know that you don't just give memorials the exact same name as the thing they depict. If they actually have a name, it's Nelson's Column, the Lincoln Memorial, 人民英雄纪念塔, etc.

I'll leave the tags as they are because at least there are subject tags now, but I should probably go and open up a community thread on the topic because I'm appalled by the idea of using name= for anything other than the name of the thing.

Do you have the 'name is the name only' guideline in Russia? osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only

162202727 7 months ago

That's weird. So why do subject tags exist if name= can either mean the name of the memorial (as you'd expect) or the subject of the memorial (which we have other tags for)?

162202727 7 months ago

No, by this logic you add the name= that people use to the refer to the memorial itself, like the "Lincoln Memorial", whose subject is "Abraham Lincoln".

Hi. I know this is an old changset but I've just spotted Lincoln Way has name:etymology:wikidata which refers to Lincoln, Nebraska osm.org/way/64982577

Are you sure about this? It seems a lot more likely that this street was either named after the English city of Lincoln or the internationally famous president Lincoln. Do you have a source which confirms either way?

I meant to say "Restaurant info", not "Wikimedia"

Something like "added Georgian name" would work fine.
Keep up the good work.

Merci. En fait, il y avait d'autres modifications à faire, que j'ai faites maintenant. Donc, merci de m'avoir signalé cela.

Thanks. I'll just change it to the Irish language tag then, since that was the preferred language of the subject.

160826276 8 months ago

Thanks for the correction. I didn't know language tags go on the value rather than the key. Does that mean we can only choose one language's Wikipedia to link? If so, since this is in the Gaeltacht and describing an Irish-language writer, shouldn't we prefer the 'ga' tag?

You're right about the Persian names, I've just noticed. That's a relief.

That project sounds really interesting. However, machine translations which don't match the verifiable truth on the ground (like street signs or commonly used names) don't belong in the OSM database. They're not verifiable on the ground (osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground) and in this case there is no official or commonly used English name. If English names are required, there are apps that can run on top of the data and give automatic transliterations or translations.

Sorry to bother you with this but it would be better if you deleted unofficial machine translated names.

Hi. I'm just wondering about the source for the street names. e.g. "شهید مجید کلاه کج" or "Shahid Majid is a crooked hat".
You've stated your source as Bing, but there's no Streetside imagery here and the street name isn't visible from satellite imagery, so can you confirm you copied the name from Bing Maps? or have you done a survey yourself?
If Bing Maps, please be aware that it's against their terms of service so any data copied from it will need to be reverted.

A secondary point is whether the streets actually have English names or whether you've just run them through a machine translation, but that's less urgent than resolving the data source issue.

Pardon me if everything's above board but please let us know. Thanks.

Thanks for adding this, but this type of comment is more suitable in note form, because nodes and ways that you add to the map should be real-life objects rather than comments to other mappers. I've pasted those links onto a note that someone else had made regarding the diamond interchange and I will delete the node.

It does look like a duplicate. I think it can be removed.

Alright. Fair points. I've deleted it.

What kind of barrier is it?
