O.K. I will have that in mind.
I actually don't change the direction. In this specific case, if I remember well, I was adding some missing points of the relation.

You mean - not adding only lakes through which rivers go as "waterbody"?

P.S.: Just corrected this mistake thanks to you ;)

Hi Nick,
Yes, I meant the same as the one from the relation.
About the Wikipedia and Wikipedata you mentioned above ... I've gotten contradictory theories in the past, so now I prefer always putting them both in the relation and in the watercourse. The Wikidata will always be the same, but for Wikipedia, I always privilege the local official language if the river goes through different countries.

Yes, you are right. Thanks a lot for contacting me regarding that! Sometimes I have to write the Wikidata number manually, and which gives more room for mistakes!

Hi Nick!
Let me check

83394517 over 5 years ago

Hi
I actually didn't add any attractions whatsoever and no tag "tourism=attraction" after the one you had deleted (narrowest street in Vilnius).
I only added name and multiple name:xx tags.
The only building I merged (which is why you saw that relation you mentioned) was the former St Anna and St Barbara church. I also added name and name:xx tags, as they didn't exist beforewards.
As for the Gediminas tower, I only added name and name:xx tags, I didn't add any relations. I didn't even add Wikipedia because some language versions mention the whole former Upper castle, and some others only the tower... which would have been a mess.
Hope this helps.

Oh sorry, I hadn't noticed it.

83140350 over 5 years ago

Now I am confused: initially, it was "uola" and ... on Wikipedia it's uola

60221388 over 5 years ago

I am now thinking that perhaps it is not a pedestrian one, but a water culvert. Problem is: the evidence I see in Mapillary is poor.
I would have to drive there again ... but it will certainly not be before this nightmare called Quarantine ends

60221388 over 5 years ago

For pedestrians, as far as I remember (it was 2 years ago...)
R52 is an entirely new road that was made to connect the Haza nuclear power plant to Ashmiany, and they did a couple of things they don't do on other roads.

Cool, thanks

O.K. Actually my aim is for other OSM users not to map again this bridge (btw really a pity it doesn't exist anymore). What other solution would you suggest?

82566687 over 5 years ago

Me too :) I am from Europe, but I used to live in SIngapore a long time ago and I came back after 23 years between October and November 2019 :)

82566687 over 5 years ago

I just corrected it. Thank you for your feedback
Actually, it was extremely complex to map the whole JB and Woodlands checkpoints appropriately.
Here, there was an additional error: I had marked "only bus and cars" in English, but "only bus and motorcycles" in Malay, which might have been the source of confusion :)

82566687 over 5 years ago

Hi:
Thanks for your feedback.
Did you correct it?

82541462 over 5 years ago

Hi. If it's the same place we're talking about, I think my mistake was not due to editing with ID, but that at some point I hadn't checked properly whether the river was not merged with one forest/admin limit. Do you have the possibility to revert only part of the changes (not the names nor wikidata), I will check it once again and, if needed, I will make the changes manually

82258354 almost 6 years ago

Can someone delete what I did? I noticed only later while looking at the Mapillary images that this road in fact goes through Ukrainian territory

79161434 almost 6 years ago

Hi Russ,
I understand. I actually based my edits on Maxar satellite imagery, which is the best one for some countries I work a lot on (Belarus, the Baltic countries, Western Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Singapore, Southern Peninsular Malaysia ...). However, from what you describe above, looks like Maxar is not exactly the best satellite imagery for Thailand.
Perhaps you should add a not for some roads (I sometimes do that when something changed that isn't visible on satellite imagery).
Anyway, let's keep in touch. Although I am currently not planning any further edits in Thailand (perhaps with the exception of some border checkpoint), I can ask for your suggestion. I also use the comment function (you know, the red little dialog boxes) when I see a problem or I have a doubt.
Regards,

First of all, good morning.
At first, I would kindly appreciate if you changed your tone.
Second: I never do such things arbitrarily, and, at my age, my purpose would certainly not be vandalizing, but improving the map and placing ground truth over theory.
If there is a convention (which I didn't know and I would kindly ask you to direct me to), I would gladly discuss it before making any changes. There are countries where I am still discussing that. There are also quite a lot of countries where those conventions are disregarded by local users and/or outdated.
My aims and guidelines are very clear:
1) leading transit traffic out of the city center. This is something I did in several other countries and it was approved by local communities. Some of them even understood at once this aim, before I even explained it.
Thailand is the perfect example of a country needing such changes IMO: my OSM-based app led me right through city centers where I lost a lot of time, instead of leading me through bypasses (with an inferior OSM classification) It is just as if the M25 around London had a much inferior classification than the A20, A2, A1, etc. Imagine the giant mess this would make while transiting through the London area from Dover to Birmingham.
2) Lead the road exactly as the path on satellite images (which is, many times, not the case in Thailand)
3) Mapping accurately border checkpoints and border areas, so people know until where exactly they can go and, if possible, through which lane(s) they need to go with their vehicle and/or password.

There are 2 questions regarding which I'm not exactly sure what you refer to, but I will try to provide you an accurate reply, although without screenshots it won't be easy:
- Regarding U-turns and their restrictions, I did map them actually. They were initially not mapped (if we are referring to the same ones)
- Regarding any "link" tag ("highway link, primary link, etc.), the only things I tag as "link" (as per OSM Wiki) is ramps. In the case of Thailand, it can also be some left turns.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
