Don’t worry, we fixed it.
Making it an ordinary road is the most appropriate option here.

Hello,

Thanks for "better reflecting the reality". Indeed, this area of the map seems to have changed in recent years and not many people were actively updating the map.

Here are two suggestions to improve your edits.

1) Try to make smaller/more specialised uploads. For instance, work on a single road, or a couple of buildings, and then upload that. And only then, start working on another part. This will make it much easier for your fellow mappers when reviewing changes in an area, especially if you can provide clear descriptions of what/why you changed something.

2) I see you redrew some buildings, like this one: way/29418761
Maybe nobody told you but buildings are never traced on (distorted) aerial imagery… because those images are updated every year and if you compare images from different years, roads don’t move but taller structures such as buildings shift a bit, depending on the location of the plane when the picture was taken.
To solve this, we use numerical imagery, which works out of the box in most editors.
I see you are using the online editor, so it works like this: hit the Background button on the right and scroll down to "Digitaal Vlaanderen GRB", which has the proper outline of all buildings in the Flemish Region. Trace buildings on top of this.

Happy mapping.

Hello,

Pardon my curiosity but those are very strange tags.
"motor_vehicle=designated" on a path is understood as having a footpath which has been specifically built to accomodate all kinds motor vehicles (in particular cars), and where they are legally allowed to drive.

Here is a picture of the
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=512548510086792
It looks like a forest path, and it seems to be completely unsuitable for motor vehicles.

Could you please tell us what kind of "modification circulation" went on here exactly?

(Maybe you wanted to edit only one part of the road, as it seems that larger vehicles may reach the southern part near the houses, and not the entire path across the woods.)

Yes, stating that Donahue's Pizza has been taken over by Main Street Pizza is a good example and that would make it clear that the change was intended.

We were confused by the "why doesent google maps believe me" title, because OSM and Google Maps do not share the same data: anything you change in OSM will *not* be shown in GMaps, and we never copy data from GMaps into OSM, but I suppose you are aware of that.

Hello,

It would be appreciated if you could write meaningful comments when uploading data into OSM.

In this changeset, you renamed a restaurant and changed the type of cuisine served there. This is a perfectly legitimate change. Next time you do this, please write something like "Restaurant XXX has been taken over by YYY", just anything that describes your edit in a few words and make it easier for other users who are reviewing changes in an area.

This page might be a good start.

Have a nice day.

Thanks, I updated the tags.

Thanks for this.

In OSM we do not map only for car traffic but for all vehicles, this is important for routing.

So, this is a one-way street but are there additional signs to dispense cyclists from the restriction? And is it only cyclists (M2) or cyclists+classA mopeds (M3)?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for adding a shop, but in the future, please do not add addresses to shops. (Ignore the text boxes in the iD online editor, this is a simple editor and this software does not know about the rules used in every country.)

All addresses in Brussels are already on the map; if you add an address to a point, it does not help us; on the contrary, many systems will fail because of duplicate values… in particular here where you set the address of the wrong building.

Don’t worry, I’ll clean this up.

Have a nice day.

Cool!

Just one tip here: do not link OSM objects to images stored on westnordost.de: this is the server run by StreetComplete devs for pictures taken through their app (which I did), because pictures are automatically deleted 7 days after a note is closed.

I copied the pictures to imgur.com and updated the links. Problem solved.

Thanks but please make sure to write phone numbers in the correct format (+32 2…) instead of 02… Even if the number printed on the show window uses the local format, we strive to make numbers in OSM directly usable.
Happy mapping.

Hello,

I came across your change while reviewing today’s changesets.

It’s not obvious why the access restriction should apply solely to cyclists here (you added cyclists=private), and why only on this way and not the one after the gate too (way/239064123). I would suggest to use access=private on both ways instead of that.

FYI, since this small group of ways is only connected on one side, any restriction here will not affect routing, so we are just discussing minor details for the sake of correctness.

It looks like another maps.me edit containing useless or duplicate POI.

Restaurant Luciano (11414342369, v1) is a duplicate of node/11367975172

Wood house (11414342969, v1) does not seem like a real name, and the user only set name:en and no name

Sway (11414342769, v1) is a duplicate of node/11010605573

Amnia (11414342770, v1) is a duplicate of node/11014712790

…and probably more.

This changeset aims at fixing an old mistake by someone who wrote the name with a hyphen.

The authoritative source for street names in the Brussels Region is and has always been UrbIS. We provide a link to UrbisAdm (it works out of the box in JOSM and iD) or the map can be viewed here: https://datastore.brussels/web/map

The official name for this long road has *no* hyphen.

The official source can only be invalidated if ground truth says otherwise. As you can see here (https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=360650995505294) the street signs indicate no hyphen in the name. So, the official data and street signs say the same thing, and that is why we use this spelling in OSM.

Wikidata is *not* an authoritative source, it is primarily a secondary source… and there are at least two users who are actively copying OSM data to create Wikidata entry. Had you inspected the history of the wikidata article, you would have easily found out it was much older, before this fix.

Rejected.

Plesae do not add shops that are already on the map. Make sure your local copy of Organic Maps uses current data before submitting changes.

OK, thanks. Here is another false positive I’ll try to report to Osmose devs.

Hello,

Thanks for undoing my change and going back to version #1 which I created some time ago… but Osmose keeps flagging this as incorrect, if the relation has only one member. Should we care?

Hello,

Please read the documentation of tags you are adding.
"denomination" takes a limited range of values, the database does not understand ordinary French words; perhaps you meant to add this text as "description".
denomination=*

## invalid tag
denomination=église_désacralisée

What is your question exactly?

The changeset title correctly explains that we refer to the *official* name, and the changeset source links to UrbisAdm, which is the official reference in the Brussels-Capital Region.

Again, the official name does not include the -laan prefix. This is confirmed by multiple sources and we explicitely write this the changeset description, because we want to prevent careless mappers to "fix-the-mistake-and-add-the-missing-word". We have seen this mistake too often.

The wikidata entry is much older than this changeset, it comes from a mapper who copied from the outdated and incorrect former version of OSM data.

Hello,

The OSM database does not understand French, so please no "colour=vert" on objects. We changed it into "colour=green".

Bonjour et bienvenue sur OSM.

Nous avons vérifié la modification, les changements ici sont corrects.

Mais attention : important d’écrire des titres utiles pour les changesets, donc pas écrire « diverses modifications » car ça n’apporte aucune info utile.
