In this "recent bike ride" you have traversed a number of paths marked "private access". Did you have permission from the owner, or were you trespassing, or are they wrongly marked "private"?

What is the data source for these trail names? Looking at osm.org/way/1085856037/history it appears that one and the same trail has, over the course of its OSM history, appeared as "Shaffer Trail", "Massey Draw Trail", and "High Meadows Trail". How is it possible that such ambiguity exists about the naming?

Dear deathDEN, please use proper changeset comments describing the edit that you have made, and not just ".". Thank you!

Hallo Sanderauer, ich bin Mitglied der Data Working Group von OSM und wir greifen ein, wenn sich Benutzer gegenseitig (sinnbildlich) an die Gurgel gehen. Das ist offensichtlich mit Dir und Niiepce der Fall. Ich kann verstehen, wenn Du Dir von Niiepce "gestalkt" vorkommst, aber der einzige Grund, warum er das macht, ist, dass Du eben (noch) sehr häufig Fehler machst und die Qualität der Karte dadurch verschlechterst. Da darfst Du es anderen Mappern nicht übel nehmen, wenn sie genauer hinschauen. Das ist ganz normal - da hättest Du nicht neulich eine "Falle" stellen müssen.

In diesem Changeset zum Beispiel hast Du einen Abstellort für Rettungsfahrzeuge fälschlicherweise mit place=square versehen UND ihm fälschlicherweise einen deskriptiven Namen gegeben. Niiepce hätte jedes Recht gehabt, diese Fehler direkt zu korrigieren - stattdessen hat er Dich darauf aufmerksam gemacht, in der Hoffnung, dass Du daraus lernen kannst. Letzten Endes wollen wir ja alle das gleiche - eine gute Karte machen! Wir haben nichts davon, Dich zu vergraulen, Du hast ja gute Informationen beizutragen, aber Du musst lernen, es so zu machen, dass es nützt und nicht stört.

Bitte korrigiere den "Platz für Rettungsfahrzeuge" hier. Auch in anderen Fällen haben Dir andere Mapper wertvolle Hinweise gegeben, die Du ignoriert hast. Insbesondere die "deskriptiven Namen" scheinen immer ein Problem zu sein. Auch der "offengelassene Steinbruch" und "ehemalige Sprengstoffbunker" östlich von hier sind Deine Werke und stellen eine falsche Verwendung des name-Tags dar. Bitte entferne diese Namen bzw. verschiebe sie in "note" oder "description". Ein ehemaliger Bunker könnte eventuell auch historic=ruins sein, das häng davon ab, wie intakt er noch ist.

Lieber Niiepce, bitte pausiere Deine "Überwachung" und Kommentierung der Sanderauer-Edits für eine Weile. Ich werde das jetzt selbst übernehmen und Sanderauer um Korrekturen bitten, wo es nötig ist.

Lieber Sanderauer, bitte sieh Dir doch einmal die vergangenen Kommentare zu Deinen Edits auf https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=9648254 an und überlege, ob einige davon vielleicht - so lästig sie sein mögen - doch eine Beachtung wert sind. Es geht uns ja nicht darum, Dich bloßzustellen, wenn wir auf Fehler hinweisen, sondern wir wollen, dass Du mit Deinem Wissen auf eine Art und Weise zu OSM beitragen kann, die OSM besser macht und nicht auf eine Art, die uns zwingt, Deine Beiträge später wieder zu löschen oder ihnen hinterher zu arbeiten, weil sie nicht unseren Standards entsprechen.

Dear 4KK, please do not add "proposed" highways to OSM unless they have reached a planning phase where it is very likely that they will be built. What you have added here is pure guesswork based on a low-resolution and copyrighted map, which above all is part of an article that says the application to build has been withdrawn because of nature conservancy issues!

Both of you, Carto_Graph and Mazda05, please be more careful with using the word "vandalism". The word is appropriate when someone deliberately damages OSM, not when two mappers have different opinions on how the current situation on the ground should be mapped. Accusing one another of "vandalism" in such situations is disrespectful.

Alles klar, danke für Deine Antwort!

Hallo, in diesem Changset hast Du die Arztpraxis Müller/Erkens-Fabers mit einer Personaldienstleistungsfirma überschrieben. Gibt es die Arztpraxis wirklich nicht mehr, oder war das ein Versehen?

I have hidden the 2nd message in this thread in which dvlpmnt wrote: "<insult> you use rapidID so you don’t have any room to critique. Also I have 3k edits and know what I’m doing." Please remain calm and refrain from using expletives and insults.

dvlpmnt, no contribution can be so good that it excuses shit behaviour. Someone so ready to sling expletives at other community members as you are is certainly not a "super user" of whom we need more. If experienced mappers are allowed to get a way with insulting others at the first opportunity, this falls back on OSM and will turn off those new contributors that the region dearly needs. So please: Lead with good example, don't explode just because someone dares to criticise something you did, and yes, please use good changeset comments as exercised by thousands of experienced mappers around the globe - so that newbies can see how OSM contributions ought to be.

Martien, please do not discourage people from mapping. What you have done here runs 100% against what OpenStreetMap is for. If HOT cannot accept OpenStreetMap's values then HOT must find another database, and stop using OpenStreetMap. Please stop giving your project participants instructions that are detrimental to the goals of OpenStreetMap.

@ZeLoneWolf, please revert your edit as you were asked to by me, in this discussion, 6 days ago.

I think we have seen enough. This import will be reverted. A prior discussion as mandated by the import guidelines could have unearthed these issues (namely lack of data quality and lack of proper review) before we all spent lots of time and CPU cycles on it. Please keep that in mind for next time.

Two corrections:

1. I was mistaken when I spoke of highway=driveway2 above, of course it is service=driveway2 and the fact that this is not known to most of software will make these highways look MORE prominent than a standard driveway. One wonders why e.g. osm.org/way/1087949999 does need to be more prominent than a standard driveway.

2. It might have made sense to, instead of just deleting service=driveway2, convert it into service=driveway. Those are the things that only a proper discussion can decide.

I think that using "highway=driveway2" is a very bad idea - it is a bad choice of tags, and it will mean that the information is lost to 95% of software which simply ignores this unknown and esoteric highway category. I would never use it, and if I came across it on an object I was editing for some other reason, I would certainly change it to something different.

I am pretty sure that, were a proper discussion held on the tagging or talk mailing lists, an agreement could be found to automatically convert this tag like user ZeLoneWolf has done here.

However, quoting a one-year-old statement from me does *not* constitute proper discussion as required by the mechanical edit guidelines.

Therefore, @ZeLoneWolf, please revert your edit, and seek community consensus for this. Then you may make the change again. Being in the business as long as you are, one would hope that you know the rules by now!

I am reverting this changeset because under the innocent label "Redesigned West Imio" you have actually entrenched Greek nationalist viewpoints by removing Turkish names. You are allowed to change the geometry of these islands but you are not allowed to use OSM to push one-sided political viewpoints.

It appears that it is fixed now, and it was only a slow rendering issue. Sorry.

The area of this changeset is a jumble of erroneous multi-lane highways. This needs to be repaired. Is this something that you can do yourself? Otherwise we might have to revert your recent lane edits.

Hello GermanDeaf, please provide accurate changeset descriptions. The changeset comment field should be used to describe what you have done (and why). The date when the changeset was uploaded is already recorded automatically, hence "Map Miércoles, 24 de agosto de 2022" is not useful.

Please note that this vandalism changeset was created not by the long-time OSM user "archie" but by someone trying to tarnish their reputation by impersonating him with UTF-8 trickery. The variant of "archie" that has performed the vandalism has been blocked.
