Carnildo's Comments
| Changeset | When | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 72242487 | over 6 years ago | You've managed to make quite the mess of the Navajo border, the America/Denver timezone, and the America/Phoenix timezone. I'm working on fixing them. |
| 72103719 | over 6 years ago | Could you be more careful when you're adding these details? For example, you mapped two streams as flowing uphill. |
| 72028845 | over 6 years ago | Does the information board you added, by any chance, refer to Adair as being a former town? If so, you might want to re-tag Adair as being a "locality" rather than a "hamlet" (which implies it's still populated). |
| 72021155 | over 6 years ago | And I've removed one from Alaska. Please be more careful with your mapping. |
| 71981524 | over 6 years ago | The best example I've seen is osm.org/edit?#map=19/47.65192/-117.41406 At z19 and further out, Esri Clarity shows the old Browne Medical Building. About halfway between z19 and z20, it switches to imagery matching Esri World Imagery, showing the Inland Northwest Behavioral Health building under construction. (And then switch your background layer to Maxar Premium, which shows construction to be complete, if somewhat blurry and misaligned.) |
| 71998355 | over 6 years ago | Naming a house "house" is redundant, and confuses computers (they tend to be rather literal-minded). Instead, you can apply the "house" tag. |
| 71981944 | over 6 years ago | I'm pretty sure this platform is long-abandoned. Esri Clarity and Mapbox imagery both show it as being badly overgrown. |
| 71981524 | over 6 years ago | If you're going to be adding new construction to Spokane County, please don't use Esri Clarity as your imagery. Except at the highest zoom levels, it's literally the oldest imagery currently available. DigitalGlobe/Maxar Premium is the newest available, but Esri World Imagery is much sharper and only a few months older. |
| 71971901 | over 6 years ago | Please don't abbreviate names. It's easy for a computer to construct an abbreviation if it needs to save space, but expanding one is nearly impossible. "Ln" for "Lane" isn't too bad, but should "St" be expanded to "Street", "Saint", or "State"? |
| 71882435 | over 6 years ago | I'm not sure. On the one hand, I don't think there's anything in the changeset besides new nodes with just a "name=" tag. They're just about invisible and easy to revert if needed. On the other hand, the longer we wait, the more likely it is that people will start dealing with them piecemeal, making a revert more complicated. I'd favor giving the OP 24 hours to respond before doing anything. |
| 71865266 | over 6 years ago | Are you sure you've got the turn restriction correct here? It looks to me like the purpose of the turn lane is to permit drivers to go from southbound Greene Street to the service road. |
| 71858839 | over 6 years ago | I've been using the "Fishing Spot" tag when adding fishing access sites in Montana. |
| 71882435 | over 6 years ago | Thanks for your contribution! Unfortunately, there are a number of issues with it. First and foremost, bare names are of almost no use. It's of far more value if you add tags indicating what sort of thing each name applies to: for example, Great Basin National Park is a "boundary=national_park", while "11000 Ophir Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90024" would be far more useful (and find-able) if properly formatted using tags from the "addr:" family. The OSM wiki (osm.wiki/Main_Page) has thousands of pages describing how to tag things, while both the JOSM and iD editors have presets to simplify the process of adding tags. iD (the in-browser editor) is probably the better of the two for adding tags, since it's got a much larger library of presets. Second, many of the points you've added duplicate existing objects. The "11000 Ophir Dr" address is new, but Great Basin National Park was added to the map almost four years ago. Third, a large-scale addition like this shows up in the change history for almost half the world. If you had broken it up into smaller pieces, it would be easier for people to judge the changes in their local area, while people in places like Mali, Belarus, or Costa Rica wouldn't even see it. And finally, a changeset comment like "test places" does not inspire confidence in the quality of the additions. |
| 71770677 | over 6 years ago | I don't know where you got this version of Saltese Uplands Conservation Area from, but it doesn't match the on-the-ground reality. The small corner of land between the parking lot and Henry Road may on paper be public right-of-way, but in practice, it's used and managed as part of the conservation area. Conversely, the area to the south of Henry Road may be owned by the county, but there are no markings to indicate it's part of the conservation area (not even a fence), and part of it is currently being farmed. |
| 71753988 | over 6 years ago | Are you sure about these roads? Sentinel satellite imagery from two weeks ago shows a very different alignment for Colonial, Meyers, and 15th. |
| 71539760 | over 6 years ago | I think "Wastewater basin" would be a better tag than "pond" for the settling ponds in a waste-treatment plant. |
| 71145417 | over 6 years ago | A quick spot-check indicates that this "fix" made things worse: for example, the original tags on node/3225792544 were pointless or confusing, but would be ignored by almost everything. The new tags include an invalid "type=ROAD", which could cause programs to break. |
| 70972864 | over 6 years ago | I see it. I've put the park back. |
| 70972864 | over 6 years ago | There's been a spate of new users adding spurious "parks" to try to get an advantage in Pokemon Go, and this looked a great deal like one of those. If you want to re-add it, go ahead -- but I've got two recommendations if you do so: First, I recommend switching to the older-but-sharper Esri Clarity imagery. You can do that by clicking on the "background settings" tab on the right side of the editor. This will let you draw a more accurate outline rather than a generic blob in the middle of the map. And second, after tagging it as a park, add a "note" field from the "Add field" drop-down menu giving a link to something -- a parks website, a newspaper article, a blog, a photo you took of a sign -- anything, really, that gives an indication that this wasn't just something you made up. |
| 70972864 | over 6 years ago | I've deleted it -- "Olinger Park" isn't listed on the Milton-Freewater website, nor does the website list a park in that location by any name. The triangle between Main, Columbia, and Second looks like generic urban green space, not a park, and I didn't see any signs giving it a name in Bing Streetside. |
