Hi, I've reverted this changeset as it doesn't reflect on the ground. A tip for next time to prevent this happening again, you can check the history of the objects and notice they were only recently mapped by survey (which should trump outdated satellite imagery), also please check street level imagery like Mapillary which has updated coverage of this area.

Great. If the data is CC0 then it's compatible, if its CC BY then we need the waiver at https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Waiver_and_Permission_Templates

In the past I've tried to obtain permission to use listdata https://listdata.thelist.tas.gov.au/opendata/ in OSM but they came back unable to provide the permissions OSM needs, see osm.wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue

If they aren't from a survey, and just copied from another source, we need to ensure that copyrighted data is compatible with the OSM license terms.

Hey I changed this to just cycleway=lane as I can see bike lanes on both sides at https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=uYPm2IS5vAvhMykbyxRyrQ&focus=photo if it's changed since then (Map 2018) please say so.

I've reverted this to bring back the objects since you noted the path does actually exist on the ground. Likely you'll want to downgrade it to highway=path

61942645 over 7 years ago

If the track exists on the ground, it should be in OSM. If it's not specifically designed for foot traffic, you can use the lower class highway=path or if it's specifically for bicycles use highway=cycleway.

I'll leave it to you, but I would recommend the JOSM reverter, it ensures you don't miss anything and lets you know about conflicts if things have since changed (which they did for Mount Wellington, see changeset/61163943)

Hi, I noticed you removed the indigenous name here, what was the reason for that?

57259837 over 7 years ago

the `aus` in name:aus refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Aboriginal_languages (ISO639-3) it's a broad classification of 290–363 different languages. It should only be used when we know the name is in an Australian Aboriginal language, but not sure which exact language.

In ISO-639-3 xtz is the broad classification for tasmanian languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_languages. We should use the more narrow language code where known.

I can revert this changeset if you like, I noticed that you've made some other minor changes in the process.

I don't think it's correct to add the station name to the platform. railway=platform suggests mapping either the platform name if it has one or the platform number (should also go in the ref tag).

I think it's better to leave the name tag for the platform name if exists, most of the time it doesn't. The station name is already mapped.

Are you sure https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/373201074 is Louis Street, there is a Louis Street further north and it doesn't match the LPI Basemap, could you confirm with local knowledge?

Also lanes according to lanes=* is marked lanes, there are no lanes marked here so I'm not sure lanes=2 is appropriate, see osm.wiki/Talk:Key:lanes

How can you tell surface:grade from the the aerial imagery?

61837372 over 7 years ago

Yeah I agree that the name of the way should be as signposted. I've restored node/3537363017 using the tag place=highway_interchange.

61816703 over 7 years ago

I've migrated all the existing tags across from node/267333870/history into the new way.

61837372 over 7 years ago

Part of the problem may be highway=motorway_junction isn't intended to be used to map interchanges, generally the whole system of offrams/onramps where two major roads connect are an interchange and in this case it's a named interchange like node/2130503373 or node/2130503470 At the end of the day we need to somehow say there is an interchange here and it's known by this name.

Putting the name on the way makes it a regular street name and makes it hard for someone who wants to identify all the named interchanges.

61837372 over 7 years ago

It seems from the previous editors that this is indeed a named interchange if you delete node/3537363017 how is the interchange and name retained in OSM?

61761761 over 7 years ago

According to the GNR "Providential Head" was the old name, I've also added natural=cape

61761877 over 7 years ago

I think it's better to use natural=bay, which the wiki says is "An area of water mostly surrounded by land but with level connection to the ocean or a lake." It's a well documented and widely used tag. The fact that it's identified as a cove is present from the name.
