@Paul Johnson: Hmm, it seems most browsers do cache HTTPS. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531801 or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl .

Schau doch mal nach, wer diese Wege erstellt hat, und schreibe die Person(en) an. Z.B. so: osm.wiki/DE:Data_layer

Hier sind die Fragen zu dem Thema gesammelt: https://help.openstreetmap.org/tags/conflicts/ Leider bisher alle nur auf Englisch.

Kurz: du kommst aus der Nummer raus, indem du solange auf den “Rückgängig”-Knopf drückst und das Speichern wieder versuchst, bis es geht. So kannst du wenigstens einen Teil deiner Änderungen speichern. Alles andere ist kompliziert.

… I would like to add: this quote sounds only negative. However, the challenge certainly had its good parts. Probably the overall effect of it is positive.

On 12 February 2014 I exchanged six mails with Alex-7 (who had added a note of the contest in the Wiki calendar). Let me quote an excerpt of what I wrote to him since it is (if I read correctly) matching the reality.

I see problems in giving people a monetary reward for “points”. They may not act in the best interests for the projects but in their own interest. And if the point system is not designed carefully this may lead to careless, inaccurate and maybe even wrong armchair edits which are not useful.

[…]

if the point system is designed to be matching our project goals. No Sweatshop workers in India (badly) “mapping” in the US to win tablet computers, please. By the way: I did not have a look at the actual point system, but I just guess it is not designed good since this is very hard.

Bei manchen Drittanbietern weiß man, dass sie “evil” sind, bei manchen anderen ists wenigstens nicht sicher. ;-)

etwas besser. :-) Danke. Es scheint aber noch nicht live zu sein. Ich bekomme immer noch einen Zugriff auf http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js . Nunja, mit “nur ungern selbst” bist du bei weitem nicht alleine …

Hört sich ja ziemlich interessant an! Es wäre schön, wenn du die jQuery-Bibliothek selbst hosten könntest, statt google die Daten deiner User hinterherzuwerfen.

Good catch! Hopefully they read also other diary entries. However, this is quite common among newbies. Sometimes more, sometimes less - I would guess it depends on the editor used.

The search for MH370 is not really a OpenStreetMap topic. We do not map aircrafts (unless they stay on one position for very long).

I only know osm.wiki/Tomnod which is related somehow to OSM (uses OSM maps as locator)). Not sure what you mean.

If you were accessing via HTPPS: The thing which has changed is that the www.osm.org site supports https*. I guess you were not using it before. iD was fixed for HTTPS recently, so it runs. Apparently the same did not happen yet for P2. The remote control (e.g. for sending the current map section to JOSM) does not work currently in modern browsers due to blocking of active mixed-content. See also https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2014/02/11/osm-enhances-user-privacy/

Yesterday the map did not load for me. I did a cache clearing reload (Ctrl+F5) - and it worked again. Maybe the same for you. This could be caused by new, incompatible script versions.

Welcome to OSM, David!

Thank you, very kind of you! :-)

Hmm, but fences where there are no (or not always) fences seems not the best idea (e.g. it is bad for navigation without gps - imagine you stay in front of all the buildings and search for the fences which your map shows). I guess there may be some tagging scheme for private ground boundaries. This is such a thing which could be discussed before an import (on mailinglist, forum, wiki or, well, if Romania prefers this, facebook). And then linked in the changeset comment, so everybody knows what’s going on.

Pardon that I was asking for sources and discussion. Is this import at least made with public domain data?

Rovastar, please … Stay on topic and not ad hominem.

… maybe provide a description in two or three words why / for what this is spam.

Please report it at osm.wiki/Spam#OSM_diary.2Fcomment_pages_with_spam_content (wiki account needed - separate from the one here). Thanks!

Hmm…

• There are really fences around each private property?
• landuse seems to be used in a duplicated way.
• in changeset/20942329 comment or source tag you should have mentioned the location of the import discussion.

Could you please link the sources and discussion of the import for those people who are interested?

In fact it is only Great Britain (no Northern Ireland). Have added it.

… and it needs a sign-on/log-in to get the wonderful pdf :-(
