| 72997629 | over 6 years ago | You've made a few mistakes here so I've reverted your change. |
| 72960184 | over 6 years ago | I also noticed, it looked like you deleted some treatment reservoirs, was that from local knowledge or other? The wiki notes that "The treatment reservoirs can be mapped with natural=water in combination with water=wastewater.". |
| 72960184 | over 6 years ago | I do note that man_made=wastewater_plant says "The fact that now this tag is rendered itself no need to be added landuse=industrial anymore." while that might be true for the default OSM renderer, a downstream data consumer who just wants industrial areas should be able to just extract landuse=industrial. I don't see any downside to having both tags, what do you think? |
| 72960184 | over 6 years ago | ...replying here to a private message from Bytemark. landuse=industrial is used for areas of land used for industrial purposes, a sewage treatment plant, I would class as an industrial process so should have the landuse=industrial tag. This has nothing to do with tagging for the rendered |
| 72969778 | over 6 years ago | No worries, easy mistake to make! I'm not sure about this school, but I've seen schools which have one sign saving "...Primary School" and another sign saying "...Public School". So it can be really hard to determine which should be in name and which should be in alt_name, personally I don't mind either way, but they both should be there so people searching for either will still find it. |
| 72960184 | over 6 years ago | What's the reason for removing industrial, since this is a mass edit without any discussion first, I'll revert this for now until it can be discussed. |
| 72969778 | over 6 years ago | I'm sorry why is the alt_name redundant? The school website uses what I had in alt_name https://georgeshal-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/ so I think it should be kept. |
| 38000834 | over 6 years ago | Not that I'm aware of, you're welcome to. Not required, but we do try to track open data which legally can be used at osm.wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue. https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_Compatibility may help. Keep in mind that we cannot use non-commercial data, since downstream users of OSM are permitted to sell OSM data. https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_Compatibility |
| 38000834 | over 6 years ago | They are correct if they match what the street sign on the ground says. It's good practice to map what's on the ground, osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what.27s_on_the_ground. Sure that's not an absolute rule, but a good guide. End of the day, the government of Western Australia claims copyright to this data, and chooses not to release it under an open license. It's OSM's policy not to allow sourcing copyrighted data osm.wiki/Copyright. It puts the dataset which we highly regard as free and open, at jeopardy when tainted with copyrighted data. So please don't do that. By |
| 38000834 | over 6 years ago | It doesn't matter, if it's names only, coping data from a source that explicitly says personal, non-commercial use is not allowed in OSM. So you can't source any information from Landgate. Another user has since replace this data with Main Roads open data, which is licensed CC BY and for which we have the legal waiver for. So in the future, keep that in mind. |
| 38000834 | over 6 years ago | I noticed you've used source=landgate, could you please confirm where you sourced this data from? |
| 72877790 | over 6 years ago | I'm changing this to store=tile shop=tiles which is more correct. |
| 72672609 | over 6 years ago | No worries at all. Certainly the wiki is a good resource for tags railway=station and then if you're using the default online editor, down you should see "All tags" to edit individual tags. |
| 72201823 | over 6 years ago | ...don't agree. |
| 72201823 | over 6 years ago | reverted, since the np is already mapped, but please post back if you don' |
| 72201823 | over 6 years ago | What's this? |
| 72672609 | over 6 years ago | Would you like me to add these deleted stations back in? or were you still planning on doing so? |
| 72683409 | over 6 years ago | reverted, please see osm.wiki/Spam#SEO_Spam |
| 72464500 | over 6 years ago | I see you've deleted this now way/706010809, could you please use more descriptive changeset comments and participate in the discussion. |
| 72672609 | over 6 years ago | See my comment at changeset/72670000, I didn't actually mean to delete the whole railway=station, just the public_transport=station + train=yes tag, since these stations aren't part of the public transport network, but ARE part of the railway network (so railway=station). |
