Changeset When Comment

Yes, you're right, sorry. FWIW, I did that in my next changesets where I fixed the nodes for the capital cities.

For the time being, I removed the tree_lined tag from this area (changeset 163362734), because it is a non-linear feature and the meaning of the tag is ambiguous in this case (especially since there are individually mapped trees in its vicinity, that are in no way forming a line along its perimeter).

DanielAgos, since (1) this is a significant change covering a large area, and (2) it was discussed extensively in the OSM Telegram channel, it would have helped to mention that fact (the discussion and consensus) in the changeset comment, just to make it more reassuring to other editors that the edit is correct and well sourced. In fact, a link to a news or official source would have been nice too.

Cool, thanks for the update!

Nice! I'm glad it got cleared up and all fixed now. Cheers!

Hi Ingbife — I noticed that you added `denotation=garden051_areal_bayerischer_bahnhof` to some trees in this edit. Did you perhaps mean `denotation=garden`?

Hi Domijtri. I noticed that you added some trees in this edit with `denotation=cemetery` while others were added with `denotation=cemeterybaronvoms2`. Was it a typo of some sort? Can they be changed to `cemetery` as well?

Hey SekeRob, can you clarify what you meant by "denotation=deù" in the trees added in this edit?

No worries! That's the wiki way ;)

Hi there. Why did you add "Tilia sp." as the value of the species tag? That designation doesn't specify any species; instead it literally means "an unspecified species of the genus Tilia", and these trees already have genus=Tilia. Am I missing something?

Why did delete individual trees and replace them with tree_row instead? That destroys information about how many trees there are, and their location, and also prevents addition of tree-specific information (height, diameter, species, etc.)

Oh, desculpa! Escapou-me completamente esta nota. Corrigi agora no changeset 161258870.

Hi there! Can you explain the reasoning for removing the genus and species tags in this edit?

154789293 7 months ago

Great! I have now added the species tag again (it had been removed without explanation by user_5589) with the value "Aesculus hippocastanum". Cheers!

154789293 7 months ago

Hi Tuiui! In this changeset you added a tree with designation "Acer hippocastanum", but that doesn't seem to be a valid species name. Did you perhaps mean "Aesculus hippocastanum" instead?

156221523 7 months ago

Hey Martinus123! In this changeset you added "species = hippocastanum" to this tree, but the genus remained as "Quercus". "Quercus hippocastanum" is not a valid binomial designation. Can you please confirm which should be the right species name for this tree?

147395358 7 months ago

Hello, fathima! In this changeset you added several trees with designation "Platanus hippocastanum", but that doesn't seem to be a valid species name. Did you perhaps mean "Aesculus hippocastanum" instead?

161139528 7 months ago

Hello! Tilia is a genus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilia); the actual species can be e.g. Tilia cordata, Tilia platyphyllos, Tilia tomentosa, etc.

The spelling "<Genus> sp." is a common way to indicate a species of a given genus without providing the specific species, but since in OSM we do have the tag "genus" precisely for that case, it's better to use the tag instead of relying on spelling conventions of the binomial name. Cheers!

Hi. That's curious. The tags have been like this for 4 months, so it's curious that two editors noticed the same thing almost at the same time. I was not able to determine what the intended value was, otherwise I would have made the correction instead of removing the tag. That said, looking into who added the tag and contacting them would indeed have been a more appropriate course of action. Thanks for enacting the fix yourself!

Thanks for the quick response and the detailed explanation! I'm not an expert on lane mapping but your explanation sounds reasonable based on the little that I know. I was just concerned because from the changeset itself it merely looked like the tags were removed indiscriminately. Maybe if next time you could add a bit more detail in the changeset comment it would make it more evident that the changes were intentional and considered :)

Btw, would you prefer to communicate in Portuguese? I don't know French well enough so I defaulted to English, but I've noticed that you edit frequently in Portugal, and in Braga in particular.
