I have removed the old interpolation and point. It looks like it was based on the addresses before the WESCO building was built.

I think that leisure=fitness_centre sticks to reality and the wiki adequately well (leisure=dance would too, but isn't used enough, in my opinion, to justify its usage here). This is a common situation, where there is a common tag that fits a POI, and a less common but more specific tag that fits it slightly better; there is no easy or obvious resolution.
I shouldn't have called what thetornado76 did vandalism. I don't think further discussion would be productive, given the level of personal insults so far, so I will not be commenting/reviewing this changeset further.

Thank you, that is very helpful.

Yaro, how did this changeset come to your attention?

I have been systematically checking the correctness of address interpolations near Ottawa (especially the newly added ones) using OSMInspector. Usually the address interpolation is correct, and more recent. That seems to be the case here.

Tagging for the renderer is not always vandalism; ensuring that things actually appear on the map makes further quality control easier. In this case, I think leisure=fitness_centre is a better tag than leisure=dance because leisure=fitness_centre is more commonly used, and fits the place as well or better. Further action by you *would* be vandalism.

Hi,
Please don't make automated changes of this sort, for places that you are completely unfamiliar with. I purposely don't use leisure=dance and use leisure=fitness_centre instead, because
- leisure=dance isn't as used as leisure=fitness_centre, and so isn't rendered by OSMAnd
- Dance studios are rather similar to other fitness centres

I use office=political_party for constituency offices. It is not a perfect fit, but it is used 2k times.

Hi kartier175,
This changeset makes it very difficult to select the highways underlying the admin boundaries (try to select Merivale Road in ID). It also introduces the "overlapping ways" error in JOSM.

I don't think there is any problem with highways being part of boundary relations, so not making these changes would be one solution to these problems. If you insist on removing highways from boundary relations, creating a small offset between the boundary ways and the highways would be helpful.
Thanks, DannyMcD

Hi Matt,
addr:state is always a stand-in for addr:housenumber, for nodes/closed ways where addr:housenumber is a stand-in for addr:unit. I have fixed the issue here.

Hi Heather,
Could you avoid deleting the railway=abandoned tag? It is still applicable for former rail lines like this one. The combination of railway=abandoned and highway=path is a good way to search for rail trails.

The changeset comment should be "POIs on Colonnade Road"

I've corrected this and the other error you pointed out.

61302563 over 7 years ago

That was a tag added in error when copying+pasting tags with JOSM. I have removed it.

Yes, the ones further east were incorrect, thanks for the catch.

I corrected this, thanks for the pointer. I think I was tricked by the fact that 58 Pixley is right next to 60 Renova.

I think the currently widely used name should be the one in OSM, not the official City of Ottawa name. Update the name when usage changes, not before.

Hi Matthew,
The City of Ottawa is not the only source for street names. In the case of St. Laurent, almost every English source (except for the City, sometimes) spells it "St. Laurent" or "St Laurent". For instance, the mall (http://stlaurentshoppingcentre.com/contact/), Ottawa Community Housing (http://www.och-lco.ca/properties/st-laurent-boulevard/), and the Citizen (https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/shots-fired-on-st-laurent-boulevard-but-no-one-injured) all spell it St. Laurent. Wikipedia also spells it St. Laurent, as does the exit sign on the 417 (see https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/6pm5mZjGd7lB24tq_VGh-Q).
The same goes for Jeanne d'Arc (which also has a Hwy 174 exit sign without the hyphen). There are fewer references to Mer Bleue, but most of those that do exist don't have the hyphen.

The city is right, this was an error.

This changeset was part one of two - I plan on adding more addresses (and deleting duplicates) in a second changeset tomorrow.
