Sure. Should be close already. Usually limited to continuously built-up area. Cheers

I just read this wiki and don't see where it says that if building are mapped then the landuse should not be used. Where do you read that ?
For sure it is common practice to keep both in place. That is the one I prefer.
Have a good day.

These places should be town.

Regarding Kitchener, it was a bad exemple. I just looked at it and with a population over 200K the tag place=city is certainly justified. It is much larger than I thought. I am not for the area...

67480453 almost 7 years ago

The wikis are crystal clear on this, so is the good practice. You can have fun on the forums, but I won't spend anytime on this. Please read and comprehend the wikis, that's the reference. I already sent you relevant links

67480475 almost 7 years ago

You really don't get it do you. The name is ERRELEVANT. The tag value changes rendering of the name and it is a reflection of the size and function of the town/city. Capitals should always be tagged city to stand out on maps. Other places it depends on their relative importance, not how they call themselves. The tags could have been called "small_city" and "large_city" but somebody one day decided to call them "town" and "city" and it will have to remain such for ever. That's all.

Again, this is irrelevant. The tag value has nothing to do with the name of the place. It has do do with its size and function. Read the wikis.

Hi Tim. landuse tags (residential, industrial, commercial, brownfield, institutional, etc) are markers of what type of usage the land is used for. You will see the equivalent shading on other map services as well (google, etc). In larger urban areas they are all used, to mark the parts of the town used for each type of activity. It is not related to political boundaries. So landuse residential marks an area 'primarily' used for housing purposes. We should keep it along with the building you added. They show at different zoom levels and the grey area is useful to get a sense of the size of a village or town. Some rendering engines show the landuse area but not the buildings because in dense area individual buildings just make everything too clogged, for example on phone apps or Garmin devices. Some app have on option to turn buildings on or off. So in conclusion best is you leave the residential area in place, it does not have to be super precise. And the building you added are fine. Thanks for asking.

Ça me semble OK. Je suis plus certain du changement que j'avais fait sur ce lieu, c'était parmi plein de petits correctifs à gauche et à droite. Mais ce que tu dis me semble raisonnable. J'imagine que la gare n'est plus active en tant que gare.

kartier175, can you be more specific. How has it failed ? What issue do you see ? If there is a correction to make please elaborate and I will be glad to make it.

Hier tu as brisé la rivière des Outaouais dans OSM. C'est une géométrie complexe et c'est pas une bonne idée d'y toucher à moins d'avoir des bonnes raisons. Mainetant elle n'est plus rendue correctement dans openstreetmap.org. SVP corriger ton erreur. Bonne chance.

You broke the Outaouais river yesterday, in the area of Grenville QC. It is a complex object in OSM and very bad idea to touch it unless you have good reason. Now it does not render in openstreetmap.org. PLEASE fix your mistakes now. Good luck.

A l'ouest de Rigaud jusqu'a l'Ontario, les rails sont retirés. Je l'ai remis comme "path". C est pas une voie cyclable officielle comme elle l'est en ontario, mais c; est un voie utilisée par les locaux. Cette section est définitivement plus une voie ferrée - c'est en gravier. Entre Hudson et Rigaud les rails sont encore présents bien qu'inutilisés.

Les petites jonctions temporaires pour police et autre véhicules spéciaux sur les autoroutes le sont PAS des motorway link. Regarder la définition, un motorway link est une bretelle d'access entrée/sortie accessible au publique. La pratique et d; utiliser "service road" et de mettre Access No, car elles sont pas pour l; usage du public.

Parc Omega is a zoo. I changed it in OSM. It was not an administrative boundary, indeed.
I also changed the roads within to service, they are not public roads.

Je suis bien d'accord. Je pense pas avoir fait ça. Dans ce coin j'avais amélioré l'info sur les voies cyclables.

Remarque que le St est parfois le nom officiel de certains lieux, etc. Il faut voir l'affichage. Les noms doubles c'est très rare. mais ça existe. Par exemple où je reste à Mont-Royal une courte section de la rue Jean-Talon porte le double nom de Dresden car les deux voies se chevauchent et la signalisation routière indique les deux noms. mais bon c'est très très rare. Dans le cas qui concerne changeset il y a un seul nom, pas deux. Je me rappel pas avoir introduit cette nomination.

The Tremblant ski area is now broken and the wood does not render correctly. Those that made the edits please fix it.. Woood must be dark green.

Je suis a priori d'accord avec ce commentaire. Le choix de tout mettre en motorway_link me semble pas judicieux et demande d'être reconsidéré. Ceci est vrai pour tous les changements similaires sur les autoroutes montréalaises.

In the Beauce area many localities were tagged as towns while their size and population didn't seem to warrant it. They are more of the size of a village. I tried to bring the area more in line with the rest of Quebec. I didn't find any hard rule for this, so there is grey areas for sure.
For me Saint-George is certainly a town, Beaceville also. However Saint-Ludger seems to be much smaller and better classified as a village. Towns should have a few large stores such as Canadian Tire, IGA, etc. and offer regional services. Villages a few smaller shops. Lastly hamlets are much smaller and usually no store or just a gas station and a dépanneur.
Hope it makes sense to you.
One last note however, the Village tag has also been used a lot to tag rural municipalities even if they do not have a village center per say - I didn't change that information convention. There are many of those.

It is a typo. Good catch.
