Changeset When Comment
114504522 8 months ago

There are a few options - one is to keep them as a multipolygon but to remove the "building" tag from relation/13505281/history and add "building=yes" to way/152963307 and "building=roof" to way/222122213 . Another option is to draw the larger perimeter of the fuel station area and move the tags to that (without a building tag) or to a node (again without a building tag)

I'd be really helpful to be a bit more descriptive in changeset comments - "tweak areas" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here as this is actually a revert using JOSM's revert plugin...

Thanks - done in changeset/165235237

Hello,
I'm a bit confused by the change here. Previously way/881142231/history was an area runway and it didn't have a linear component. The MR challenge said to add the linear runway and change the area to area:aeroway=runway, but you didn't do that - you removed the area tag, which meant that it's possible to misinterpret the runway as a linear circle.
Am I missing something here, or does the data need fixing here?
Best Regards,
Andy

Thanks - obvious really!

Hello,
I think that something gone a bit wrong here.
After this changeset, way/1287508458/history is aligned with the area of the agricultural building visible on aerial imagery, but the building type is "house (site of)" and the name seems a bit odd for an agricultural building.
If you look at https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=158935998 and zoom in you can see what happened - that name and building type corresponds to something that was here a long time ago ("ty'n y nant" - "the house in the stream"). That was added in changeset/151963821#map=15/52.39429/-3.92576 . I've no idea what the source was since that changeset doesn't say, but whatever it is that name and building type probably belongs on https://www.openhistoricalmap.org rather than here.
I'll update that (and the others).
Any questions about how to spot these, please get in touch!
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Should way/1329335285 perhaps be "operator=SSE" rather than building=sse"?

Hello,
What is a "building=barb"?
way/644918873#map=20/54.1568336/-2.1386904&layers=H
Cheers,

I've set it back to yes :)

You didn't add it originally, but have you any idea what sort of building way/51583113 is? It does match OS OpenData but doesn't match Bing imagery, suggesting that something might have been rebuilt in its place?

153748321 8 months ago

Hello, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
You've set way/1272898465/history to "building=closed". If it's still a pub building but the pub is closed, more appropriate would be "building=pub" and "disused:amenity=pub".
Best Regards,
Andy
PS: Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I'm guessing that "building=yesrunning_or_walking_while_listening_to_some_music_or_a_podcast_can_get_you_into_a_great_rhythm_-_please_just_be_careful_that_it_doesn’t_end_up_distracting_you._when_crossing_the_road,_temporarily_remove_your_headphones_and_avoid_interacting_with_your_ph" was an accident here?
I've changed that in changeset/165089530

Thanks!

Oops - I think that this might have created a gap in the Thames Down Link path - you can see that at relation/115934#map=20/51.2696199/-0.3117511 .
Are you OK to fill in the gap, or would you need any pointers to help doing that?
Cheers,
Andy

I was just looking at the rare values at https://taginfo.geofabrik.de/europe:britain-and-ireland/keys/building#values .

For example, for semidetached_house100752, a regular worldwide overpass query https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/22pe will work - you can zoom in and review the data and, if a simple "replace the value with something else" makes sense (as it does here) you can use that same query for input to Josm.

114504522 8 months ago

It looks like something has gone a bit wrong here - the merge of the building and the roof has created relation/13505281/history which is "building=roof;yes".

Hello recrayon,
You might like to join the discussion about naming oceans etc. at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/looking-for-the-pacific-ocean/128699 .
You've said "as per wiki page", but which page, and where was the public discussion around that?
I can see arguments on both sides here, which is why a "big change" like this has hopefully already been widely discussed.
Best Regards,
Andy

@NFZANMNIM What some wikipedia project does is irrelevant here. In fact, many data projects do link to wikidata's various language names via wikidata links - that is a perfectly sensible approach.

The OSM wiki is clear: osm.wiki/Names#Transliteration .
There are a couple of languages (such as Punjabi) where there are multiple orthographies for the same words - in those cases, and in only those cases, transliteration makes sense - both versions are real, local names.
What Korean names have to do with Persian names in Vietnam I have no idea.

164879083 8 months ago

Hello - please do not make up names by transliteration in this way. Only map names that actually exist.
If a data consumer wants to transliterate names, they can.
