Hey Stephen, according to osm.wiki/Highway_link and my understanding of common practice, the highway _link classifications apply to these "physical channelization of turning traffic lanes at traffic signal junctions and in roundabout designs that physically separate a specific turn from the main roundabout.".

I could see at https://osmcha.mapbox.com/changesets/73093176 that you've changed some of these to residential, but I suspect _link is more correct.

I couldn't tell when I last surveyed here, https://www.mapillary.com/app/?focus=photo&lat=-33.86438888888889&lng=151.20721388888887&z=17&x=0.5171864733976566&y=0.5816864371843455&zoom=1.0225622820569238&pKey=Q4xyuA7xuGhtElgfYmHlqA if this was a road or not between Bond St and Margaret St, but if you checked recently and didn't look like there was, then all good. Thanks for updating.

according to https://www.mapillary.com/app/?focus=photo&lat=-33.7321&lng=151.006075&z=17&pKey=y3QvmwY3KoO_lyinbUDUfg&x=0.46100263629751287&y=0.4689571364587044&zoom=1.9994186827455607 this is "No Entry, Busses Excepted", "Bus Only" to me that means your changes here (see https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/665997141) are incorrect as cars, bicycles, pedestrians are not allowed on this road.

Thank you! It certainly helps when you have engineering data, I did my best using noise GPS traces and outdated imagery...

I've reverted this, as you've dragged the node.

See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

...again replying to a private message from Bytemark. I've reinstated this change now, however I didn't hear back about the deleted treatment reservoirs.

It's a good idea to provide a link back to the import plan/discussion/documentation, either in the comment or changeset tags.

For way/686122542/history there are lifeguard tags that you can add if you want emergency=*#Lifeguards

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

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.

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

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.

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.
