| 64637020 | about 7 years ago | These seem to be based on Wikipedia location data, which I believe isn't compatible with the OSM licensing requirements because that data could be sourced from proprietary sources like Google. It seems to be of questionable quality anyway, such as the CILS transmitter being in a house's backyard. |
| 64587418 | about 7 years ago | Their map labels the greenspace running through this area as a "central greenway", but that isn't the actual name of the park. The name Meadow Park has been used in many places, including by the City of Colwood and the developer building the homes around it. I've restored the name Meadow Park |
| 64118418 | about 7 years ago | In a way. After I noticed some edits in the Greater Victoria area that caused a bunch of damage, I now use a tool to watch for any edits in the area and look to see what was being done. Most of them are harmless and make positive changes, but sometimes there's something that gets broken, doesn't make sense, or could be done in a better way. I try to comment on those or just fix them. In this particular case, I work on the same block as Chapters, so the Starbucks change was something that jumped out to me. There are lots of stores in Greater Victoria and they're constantly changing, so it would be great if you could change anything that you've noticed has changed on-the-ground. I'll try not to inspect your edits in too much detail. :) |
| 64118418 | about 7 years ago | OK, the move of Starbucks must have been accidental. I've since confirmed that the Starbucks closed when Chapters moved out, so I removed it entirely |
| 64180934 | about 7 years ago | These substations shouldn't have any addr:* tags if they don't actually have a street address. is_in tags are also unnecessary. Any with a name of "Nova Scotia Power" should have that removed, because that's the operator, not the name of the substation |
| 64154216 | about 7 years ago | This is a good start, but don't forget to also make the following changes:
|
| 64118418 | about 7 years ago | Didn't the Starbucks close at the same time as Chapters? Even when it was open, it was at the front corner of Chapters, not in the back and shared with Shoppers. |
| 63736550 | about 7 years ago | You're still making many of the same errors lots of people have been telling you about. Please stop or the community will need to involve the Data Working Group to make you listen. |
| 63610038 | about 7 years ago | I don't understand why you would revert a reversion of a mechanical edit, based on that reversion being a mechanical edit? Do you even have any knowledge of what was happening here? The landuse of these areas was improperly removed, and should be restored. We'll see what the DWG does. |
| 63514318 | about 7 years ago | There were still 5 unnecessary or non-standard tags on the two BC ways, so I've removed those. |
| 63269704 | about 7 years ago | Someone reported that you've added surface=asphalt tags to every node in these highways. It looks like addr:province was also added at the same time. I assume these were mistakes and can be safely removed? |
| 63514318 | about 7 years ago | Can you explain what's happening here? It seems like some reserves in BC are being tagged with some Nova Scotia information, as well as a number of very odd, non-standard, or outright wrong tags (type=land_area, place=Mi'kmaq Reserve, reserve=first nation, etc.). Was this a test that wasn't meant to be uploaded? |
| 63224687 | about 7 years ago | Thanks for explaining.
|
| 63224687 | about 7 years ago | I can't say that I understand why a bunch of additional nodes were added to a straight line, but I guess they aren't harming anything. FYI, though, that there isn't such a thing as "too long of a segment". Some tools may highlight these in case they indicate a problem, but legitimately long ways (like in the case of borders, rivers, etc.) are just fine. |
| 63218168 | about 7 years ago | Can you explain what you mean by "no longer needed"? The landuse of these areas hasn't changed, so this tag shouldn't have been removed. |
| 63107968 | about 7 years ago | This way was tagged with "seamark" tags for maritime-related use, so I've restored it. |
| 62597061 | over 7 years ago | Since the abandoned pier isn't actually a usable pier anymore, the man_made=pier tag can be misleading for data consumers that don't check for additional tags like abandoned=yes. Instead, I've changed it to abandoned:man_name=pier, which is a safer and more widely-accepted scheme for representing an object's lifecycle. |
| 62597036 | over 7 years ago | Some highway_1 tags got mistakenly created during these edits, so I removed those and replaced them with "foot=yes" on the relevant tracks. |
| 62538573 | over 7 years ago | These kind of Canada-wide changes should probably be discussed within the Canadian OSM community first. Were these changes discussed anywhere? I thought the tagging of the Trans-Canada route relations had been settled a while back. |
| 62331961 | over 7 years ago | The timing of these edits wasn't the greatest, because a construction project that will be physically dividing a section of the highway should be complete within the next month. Also, please don't create fictional turn restrictions. I'll leave most of the edits from this changeset intact because they do reflect the current reality (even if it's only for a few more weeks), but I'll be removing the fictional turn restrictions when I get home tonight. |
