| 121967608 | over 3 years ago | Hi, please note the admin centre of Hambleton CP has been put back to where it was (the place node) which is where it belongs.... |
| 121735942 | over 3 years ago | Yes, I am working on it. I checked with the community first, by the way. |
| 121735942 | over 3 years ago | Yes, the regions are losing their boundary=administrative and admin_level=5 tagging. |
| 121737537 | over 3 years ago | You can change them all back again now, as the original edit was erroneous. |
| 121735942 | over 3 years ago | English regions have been abolished and never were administrative anyway. Admin level 6 is not appropriate here anyway. Please take care to check with local mappers first before making this kind of important change! |
| 121481662 | over 3 years ago | Too late, some else has already fixed it. I wanted you to do it... But please take note for the future. |
| 121481662 | over 3 years ago | Hi!

| 120360787 | over 3 years ago | Oops! Sorry about that, I had a few crashes while I was doing this. I think it's OK now. I will check again in a couple of hours. Thanks for flagging it up! |
| 119242068 | over 3 years ago | Bedankt Leo, ik was inderdaad de haltevolgorde helemaal vergeten! |
| 118784537 | almost 4 years ago | Yes, it would not be incorrect to remove the tag from the way completely. It is not my personal preference, as it is sometimes difficult to distinguish one line from another (in various editors) without this kind of "hint" though. There appears to be a kind of undocumented hierarchy, with "administrative" at the top, then "political", "historic" etc all the way down to "national_park"; the tradition is to tag the ways with the boundary type which is highest in the "hierarchy" of all the boundaries of which the way is a member. |
| 118784537 | almost 4 years ago | boundary ways that are *only* for boundary=political relations should not be tagged as boundary=administrative.... better to set them to boundary=political |
| 117783715 | almost 4 years ago | Thanks for spotting that, I have fixed it. |
| 117844015 | almost 4 years ago | Thanks! |
| 117844015 | almost 4 years ago | Hi... water=canal should be on a polygon enclosing the area covered by water, whereas waterway=canal goes on the centreline/fairway. Take a look at water=canal |
| 116480599 | almost 4 years ago | Hi Will

| 75046427 | almost 4 years ago | Your source, https://www.mapping.cityoflondon.gov.uk/ , doesn't appear to be accessible to the public. How do you get access to this resource? |
| 114077685 | almost 4 years ago | I would say so. That is the way it is normally done in the UK, especially where the exact boundary cannot be determined. Such a node already exists, though.... node/26703040 |
| 114077685 | almost 4 years ago | Regarding admin boundaries, you might find this interesting: osm.wiki/User:Csmale/ukboundaries |
| 114077685 | almost 4 years ago | Well, let's start with the fact that the admin boundaries in the UK are pretty much complete and correct. I maintain them personally. That's not to say there are no mistakes out there, but there aren't going to be many. If you see something you think is wrong I would be happy to investigate/advise specific cases.
|
| 114077685 | almost 4 years ago | District wards and civil parishes are connected only by coincidence. A ward is basically for convenience at election times (and are tagged as boundary=political), whereas a civil parish often has its own local council. You seem not to be based in the UK, judging by the timestamps on youw work. I suggest you abstain from making changes to UK boundaries until you understand the system a bit better, lest you start to annoy people. |
