| 169357242 | 5 months ago | I've cleaned up almost all of the 5TDGBRCH4MS037831 stuff as well as some links to irrelevant photos on Flickr. However, some of the same changesets that included the obvious spam also included other edits that look like they could be either truthful or bogus. unknown246, did you intentionally make any edits to OpenStreetMap since July 21, or can I assume that all the edits from your account in that time period are from the hacker? If the latter, then I will revert the rest of the edits. (I was going to leave them alone, but then I noticed changeset/169310048, with stream names that look pretty unlikely to be truthful.) Thanks for your cooperation in getting this mess cleaned up. |
| 169320029 | 5 months ago | See the discussion on changeset/169357242 . I'm already working on reverting the "5TDGBRCH4MS037831" spam in all of unknown246's changesets. But I'm a relatively junior user; if DWG wants to take this over and has better tools, go for it. Is there a better place to put a notice so other mappers don't inquire on more individual changesets? |
| 169357242 | 5 months ago | Oh, that makes sense. Thanks for letting us know what's going on. I assume you already locked the hacker out (e.g., by changing your password and revoking any OAuth authorizations they could be using)? I'll work on cleaning up the 5TDGBRCH4MS037831 stuff. |
| 169357242 | 5 months ago | Hey, why did you name so many elements "5TDGBRCH4MS037831"? I don't see how this could be accurate. Did your editor go haywire? |
| 168531616 | 6 months ago | This change looks good. Thank you for the contribution! I only found two minor issues:
|
| 168872338 | 6 months ago | Looks good. Thanks. |
| 168872189 | 6 months ago | The change itself looks good. I'd encourage you to specify the source as you did on some of your other changesets. I know the iD editor doesn't make this obvious (https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/7755 for the record). |
| 168872107 | 6 months ago | The change looks fine to me. Thanks for contributing. It looks like there are some other service roads internal to the plant that have no access tag. If you think it's safe to assume they're private too, you could consider tagging them so.

| 168619255 | 6 months ago | Thanks for pointing this out. I performed the deletion in changeset/168986891. To delete part of an OSM way, you would select both the way and the cutoff point, use the "split" command, and then delete one of the two ways left after the split. In the future, if you need a change made to the map but are not sure how to perform it, it's better to create a note with the information (osm.wiki/Notes) than to add dummy data to the map. Thanks for your contributions! |
| 168846475 | 6 months ago | Oops, the source should also include "Esri World Imagery" for confirmation of the approximate location. |
| 168610467 | 6 months ago | FWIW, technically the source should include "Mapillary Traffic Signs" because I took the precise location from there (via Osmose) after checking it was consistent with the approximate location from my survey. |
| 145780465 | 6 months ago | I noticed that the remapping of shops from nodes to areas in this changeset lost some tags from shops I had previously edited. I restored those tags in changeset/168573989. I haven't checked whether tags were lost from other shops in this changeset too. |
| 168573989 | 6 months ago | Note that I haven't rechecked the validity of any of these tags; I'm assuming their removal in changeset/145780465 was unintentional. Feel free to overwrite this changeset if you have information that is newer than when the tags were originally added prior to changeset/145780465. |
| 168070328 | 6 months ago | I am assuming the highway=primary tag was just a mistake in changeset/76241229. If there is some justification for it, feel free to revert. |
| 166192569 | 7 months ago | Are you sure that the time-conditional restriction is correct for the service road? I visited this location on January 15, 2025 and there was an unconditional "right turn only" restriction from the service road, like the one in this Mapillary image: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=38.9026429&lng=-77.0382639&z=19.243399386914778&mapStyle=OpenStreetMap&pKey=578009907499172&focus=photo&x=0.4265917848549031&y=0.3344586912640908&zoom=0.665217391304348 . (That's even stricter than the unconditional "no left turn" that OSM had before this changeset.) I suspect the time-conditional "no left turn" is intended for the main road, and that restriction is already mapped (relation/6528323). If you could recheck your imagery, that would probably be the quickest way to resolve this. Otherwise, I'll resurvey the restriction if and when I have an opportunity to visit the location again. Thanks! |
| 101476934 | 8 months ago | It looks to me that the first relation added in this changeset (relation/12475896) is redundant with the second (relation/12475897): the first contains an extra via way. I suspect this may have been due to a glitch in the iD turn restriction editor. I deleted the redundant restriction in changeset/166413518. Let me know if you disagree. |
| 165864699 | 8 months ago | - The newest aerial image I could find in JOSM was from Esri World Imagery. Trace the building from there, adjust parking to not overlap, and delete the pitches since they're confirmed to be destroyed by the construction.

| 163295071 | 10 months ago | Changing the name of a piece of Castlegate Court to Stonehenge Place was an extrapolation; I'm assuming this was overlooked when Stonehenge Place was first extended east of Castlegate Court. I confirmed the other name changes from signage. |
| 31706134 | almost 3 years ago | Since I didn't hear from you, I made the proposed change in changeset/130691253 (finally; I got busy with other things). |
| 130667240 | almost 3 years ago | This is mostly a revert of changeset/130534543. See the previous discussion on changeset/130018058. |
