Are you maybe coming from Wikipedia, which has notability criteria? OpenStreetMap has no such thing (although in practical terms, people don't usually map things that are smaller than 30 cm).

The welcome guide for Wikipedians (
osm.wiki/Welcome_to_Wikipedia_users#We_don.27t_have_a_Notability_rule ) explicitly mentions individual trees. People have mapped all kinds of stuff that will never be relevant to me, and that's great!

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=tree finds 7.6M trees on the planet. In some cities, every individual tree has been mapped - look at Nice or Bucarest for example.

For trees that are landmarks, e.g. the Arbres remarquables au Luxembourg, we add the denomination=natural_monument tag.

I do try to welcome newbies to OSM in my area, answer any questions, and so on. The community watches not every edit, but as you've discovered, it's quick to get chatty when the consensus isn't followed.

These messages are dry and cold - want to chat about it with a beer one evening?

Hey, thanks for replying. 'We' is just how I see the community consensus in Luxembourg. It is a bit of a special case in the OSM community, since we're such a mix of languages, and the 'on the ground' rule that's so helpful elsewhere is harder to apply. Indeed, you do find stuff with name tags in French, German, Luxembourgish and even English on the map.

What I've done for other churches is tagging the Luxembourgish name as name:lb, e.g. way/48994777

Should we go for name:lb=Hellege-Josephskierch? Wa schon da scho richteg ;)

Happy mapping!

Hi! (Moien? Bonjour? Hallo?)

Since the paths in the park are officially open to bicycles, I’d tagged those as highway=path. A highway=footway that’s bicycle=designated seems contradictory.

What do you think?

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

Hi! I don’t know if you’re seeing my messages, can you please comment?

If you look at the rest of the country, you’ll see that we usually tag the church names after the saints - "Église Saint-Joseph” would be correct here. That this is the Alzénger Kierch is its location, so we don’t tag that in the names.

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

Hi! I've re-planted the trees at changeset/46441452

T’as remis les arbres que scleija avait effacés?

Les photos sont d’août dernier, ça va hein ;-p

Hi, and welcome to OSM!

We have a low-traffic Luxembourg mailing list at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-lu
and a slow wiki at wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Luxembourg

Why were these trees superfluous? If someone’s taken the time to map trees, they must have been important to them.

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

Oh, that's solvable: source=local knowledge, or common knowledge, or extrapolation are the ones I use. I think that recent versions actually let you leave that field blank - but other mappers appreciate good changeset data :)

Hi! The version of JOSM you’re using, 6388, is from November 2013. There have been many improvements and fixes since. Is there a bug that’s stopping you from upgrading?

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

It is the correct tagging :)

Hi! Are you sure? The paint on the asphalt says “BUS” in the august 2016 pictures, which is why I tagged them as bus lanes, but then I wasn’t there.

way/303435609 might need to be retagged too.

Happy mapping!

The changeset comment should read:

Reverted mechanical edit of species tag to trees after complaints to DWG, see https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=628958

Yay!

Ah, dommage! D’après https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/osmeditor4android/issues/250 tu peux les rajouter dans ton imagery.json. L’url à rajouter pour les Ortho 2016 serait https://{switch:wmts3,wmts4}.geoportail.lu/opendata/wmts/ortho_2016/GLOBAL_WEBMERCATOR_4_V3/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpeg

Bonjour FrViPofm,

Si tu veux, on peut parler en Français et/ou en privé.

I'm delighted to see that a conversation has begun. Your massive edits aren't a bad idea, and I hope that you won't let the DWG's block discourage you.

You *must absolutely* discuss these massive edits first, especially to avoid this kind of mistakes.

Please get in touch with the DWG when you're ready to do that, and we'll be happy to unblock you.

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

Of course it's partly meant as a joke. At the SotM EU, we came across this strange box, and decided to dedicate it as a monument to RichardF. The RichardF box does exist, and the physical properties are all correct. Someone even slapped a "Surveyed by OSM" sticker on it.

It is an example I refer to when people say that surveyed should trump another source.

Then the weird tags: This became, during a hack weekend at the nearby Geofabrik, an example of a torture object for tags and encoding. If your software can't handle this, it won't be able to handle all of OSM. Most software doesn't handle the RichardF box well.

Super, j’ai commencé à mettre à jour avec les photos de 2016, mais ça avance vite! Tu les as dans Vespucci aussi?

Mea culpa. Merci!

Bonjour,

Les images de Google ne sont malheureusement pas 'free' - elles sont gratuites, mais pas libres. Merci de ne plus les utiliser.

Dafür ist im “Relation Toolbox” Plugin die Funktion “Rebuild polygon” super.
