Hello,
On relation/3245245 (multipolygon for the Ferrarisgebouw), you added "access=semi-restricted". This creates validation warnings.
What do you mean with semi-restricted access?

Hello,
Thanks for contributing. I am afraid some speed limits were not correct in this survey.
Anderlecht municipality is creating quite large areas with a 30-kph regime and roadsigns are only posted on a few streets, not everywhere. I’ve experienced that problem myself frequently of not being entirely sure because there weren’t any road signs nearby. But in case of doubt, I suggest to not complete the quest in StreetComplete rather than assuming it is the default 50-kph speed (maxspeed:type=BE:urban).

Hello,
I am afraid I’ll have to revert all your changeset, because it contains too much incorrect data.
I am familiar with many of those streets and there are dozens of streets that had a 30 kph regime for many years (long before your November 2017 survey), which you tagged as 50 kph, or the other way around.
Did you really survey those streets?
Some advice here: Brussels municipalities tend to increase 30-kph zones gradually, and this implies that road signs indicating where it starts and end will very often not be visible from every street, because the zone spans a larger area. This complicates surveying but it is essential to bear in mind when you wonder what the speed regime can be.

Hello,
I don’t think that the park near Quai à la Houille/Steenkoolkaai can be used with a bicycle: It seems it is only for pedestrians, just like ordinary elevated sidewalks. No sign and to "rules of the park" display to allow people to ride a bicycle here.
This is for way/114973996 and some adjacent ways in this changeset (south-east corner of the box)
Did you see anything I might have missed here?

Hello,
It’s good that you look for shops that are gone.
If you find more of them, please proceed as such:
* shop=vacant
* remove name, phone, opening hours, etc.
That way, we keep the node on the map. It is important to do this because that way we can follow the history of each node.
If you delete the node, we lose the history. I had to undelete this node from the backups.
Thanks.

Hello,
I want to inform you that your edit broke some bus route relations and I have had to revert it.
The roundabout was split into multiple ways for a reason. OSM data is used for many different uses, including routing. I reverted your edit.
roundabout tag is okay.

Hello,
Thanks, it was a mistake indeed (the note came from a former edit, I must have slipped a C-v command here). I’ve fixed it.

Hello,
This is a strange edit and many values you inserted into the database seem either misguided or made up. I fear I might have to revert them. My recent surveys almost always contradict those.
Are there really 65 kph speed limit signs in Brussels on some roads, seriously?

Hello,
I wish to inform you that the traffic scheme announced by Ixelles/Elsene municipality—and still exposed on their website—has not been fully implemented.
Most of the scheme has been correctly applied but several streets, around Rue Saint-Boniface/Sint-Bonifaasstraat have been left untouched. (Apparently because of opposition by some residents.)
I have reverted some part of your changeset.
This is why we should never take government data for granted, and always rely on surveys to be sure.
Have a nice day.

Hello,
You have been adding more than 60 fire hydrants to the map on only a couple of days. I couldn’t find them when walking through those areas.
Are they underground amenities? Or indoor? Should that be true, I suppose they should be tagged differently; you forced "fire_hydrant:type=pillar" on them, which describes ordinary hydrants and they should be clearly visible from the street.
Another question: were those location established through surveying or are you importing data from a database?
Please reply. Otherwise we might forced to treat those edits as suspicious and revert them.

And the same changeset contains wrong information for node/306139434 elsewhere in Brussels (user claims there are traffic lights whereas there aren’t).

56507233 over 7 years ago

This edit is wrong, there are no traffic lights indeed. I have fixed this and tagged pedestrian crossings with crossing=uncontrolled.

55426390 over 7 years ago

Hello,
Are you sure this is the official name for this path? I think that "Cité Jourdan - Jourdan-Wijk" is an informal name given by some residents, but the official name here is "Parc de la Cité Jouët-Rey - Cité Jouët-Rey park"
What do you think?

Bonjour,
Si j’ai bien compris les modifications de ce changeset, il s’agit d’ajouter les liens Mapillary (très bonne idée) mais aussi le tag "survey:date" avec la date de la photo sur Mapillary. Ceci me semble problématique car ça laisse une trace dans l’objet qui laisse entendre qu’il n’y a plus eu de survey depuis lors. Or, pour les arrêts de bus il y a eu des visites plus récentes pour contrôler la localisation, l’équipement, etc.
A priori j’aimerais retirer le tag survey:date pour cette raison.

I suppose you’re right and despite I had read otherwise at first, the wiki seems to support that viewpoint that there should be tagged as highway=pedestrian. I will revert this.

60788002 over 7 years ago

Hello,
I know this area fairly well and I couldn’t see most fire hydrants you have been adding to the map.
Some fire hydrants may be underground and not easy to spot but apparently you used "fire_hydrant:type=pillar", which is usually a flashy red pillar, that should be hard to miss.
Did you actually survey the places you are editing or are you importing databases onto the map?
Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,
I have reverted maxspeed=30 for those 3 streets, I suppose you no longer need the modified values for that test, right?

Hello,
I get your point about the spelling. We have discussed this within the Belgian community some time ago and it turns out that whereas street signs are certainly to be followed to be sure that this is street X and not street Y, it would be foolish to introduce non-existing spellings in OSM just for the sake of matching signs that have been designed with all-uppercase ASCII characters in mind. Especially because within Brussels, some municipalities use accented characters on street signs and some do not, and it would make the map really incoherent and ugly.
In a nutshell, "élan" is a normal word in the dictonary, and "elan" is not, and that is why we agreed to use the correct spelling, with an É, in OSM.
Someone is busy preparing a general edit, based on an inventory of all streets lacking accented characters.

Have a nice day.

Hello,
I am afraid this is not correct.
Despite the street was named after Eugène Ysaÿe, the municipality chose to use a simplified spelling for the street name, *without* the "ÿ". The spelling as "Ysaye" is therefore found as such on street signs and in the official street directory for Brussels street names.
Do you have any evidence to support the claim that we should use "Ysaÿe" as the main name in OSM?

58761601 over 7 years ago

Hello,
Thanks for adding some valuable tags to motorways.
Just a question: are you sure that "int_ref=E 411" should also apply to all nodes (your changeset put it onto 89 nodes) or is this an editing mistake?
