Das waere auch mein Vorschlag gewesen. :D

I meant a fox covert that is still used as such. It was my hunting friend who wrote the book about Fox Hunting in Co. Kilkenny who told me that. I’m inclined to believe her. I’m sure there are former Fox Coverts which still bear the name that are now used to grow wood. The name stuck, just like it did with field names that are no longer used in their original purpose, like “The Kennels”, “Flax Field”, “Lime Kiln Field”.

Interesting case, I haven’t come across those, but a lot in Kilkenny are integrated into fences, so you could hold on to the fence. Back to your question, maybe a https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boot_scraper:handle=yes?

@Matt_: I did, yes. I might even add a German version. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

@motogs: That is a fair point. The 6 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=boot_scraper that are already mapped are also in that park context. I have no problem with separating the two uses, because boot scrapers in “my” sense are used when entering a place and are strictly associated with entrances, because that was my approach, whereas the boot cleaners in nature are of a different date and somewhat purpose, more variety in how the cleaning is done and being used when leaving a place (always?). I wouldn’t mind if the nature ones (scrapers and brushes) are all mapped as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=boot_cleaner. I think they can also sometimes found at farms to prevent the spread of BSE and things like that, but I’m not sure if they’re not a type of bath for wellies and how permanently they are installed.

I will move this also to the talk page on the wiki, because I would have to re-write the page in parts, if we come to an agreement.

I was pleasantly surprised that almost all, if not all martellos were mapped in some shape or form.

I was actually wondering whether we should have a ref:martello for all the numbered ones in the UK and Ireland, even though some numbers might overlap, maybe ref:IE:martello and ref:UK:martello.

I forgot to mention it here, but I said it in the video: left/right is always seen as going into the door, because that is when you use the boot scraper.

@valhikes: I mapped them from my “cultural background”, but interesting to hear that they are finding a sort of revival. As long as the tag can be added to something they’re associated with or attached to, all is well, I think.

Thanks for those, EdLoach. According to the number on Wikipedia, only half the number of originally built martello towers is on OSM, but I don’t know how many actually survive. Some might have fallen victim to coastal erosion already.

Gute Idee, Leute zum Mappen zu motivieren, aber ich rate normalerweise Leuten ab, zuallererst ihr Haus zu kartografieren, weil ja dann jeder sofort weiss, wo der User wohnt. Lieber mit dem Haus eines Verwandten oder so anfangen. Klar is da die Motivation anders, aber Privatsphaere wird in Deutschland ja doch sehr ernst genommen.

Danke trotzdem fuer die ausfuehrliche Anleitung.

Haeuser in Deutschland haben durchaus Namen neben der Hausnummer, vor allem solche, die Pensionen sind oder waren (nehme ich an, ich kenne ja nicht die Geschichte jeden Hauses) - “Villa Soundso”, eher in kleineren Staedten, z. B. Eisenach.

Congrats! Still one of my favourite tools around OSM!

As a non-native English speaker, I would expect a vent to be vertical and a pipe to be horizontal. I was also going by what they are called on wikidata. One of the more recently produced ones (c.2020) had a sticker “vent shaft” on them even.

If you’re not pulling our legs and it’s not photoshopped (haven’t watched the movie and not planning to), the trees are a dead giveaway that it is OSM, in my opinion. Well spotted.

@Dron007: It seems to prevent peeing in the corners, but if you’re drunk or desperate enough, nothing will stop you. I saw two men publicly urinate in Nice, one of them not even in a corner.

Well done, that’s funny and genius at the same time!

@InsertUser: It’s the same on EveryDoor, they don’t use the refill tag, but the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bottle=yes. No harm using both, just in case, in you want to go to that effort.

Thanks for taking the time to put so much effort into it.
