I surveyed the place earlier this week and yes, there is no doubt, this is a place for adults. I upgraded the tags.

Hello,
Does this square *REALLY* have a name?
Or did you assume this is how it should be named, perhaps because a few locals call it that way?
I cannot find any reliable source of information with such a name.
Any thoughts?

Hello,
Please read this.
osm.wiki/Relations/Relations_are_not_Categories

Hello,
Thanks for this.
I bet Wilderozelaarslaan should be the correct spelling, but official UrbIS data says Wilderoselaarslaan.
Do you know a reliable source we can trust here?
After your answer, I will finish the edit because there are more segments in this street + matching the addresses on houses.

Hello,
I think there are a few issues here.
way/957442967
This platform is not routable. Moreover, it is attached to a landuse area. One should never connect routable objects (roads, sidewalks, bus platforms) to landuse areas. Instead, add a small footway connector between the bus platform and the nearest sidewalk (or nearest road).

Reverted by changeset/107100545.

Hello, I see you are new and I am sure you wish to make useful contributions and improve information for cyclists.
However, we had to clean up because you haven’t grasped how OSM data works and your changes were breaking other data.
Bicycle logos or dashed lines along roads are indicated by adding tags on the main road, not by drawing lines along the road. We already have lots of people who follow cycle infrastructure in Brussels and keep it up to date, and the existing tags were correct. That explains why we had to reject your changes.
Have a nice day. :-)

Hello,

The cycle tracks have been changed recently. We map them as cycle lanes, as part of the main way in OSM.

See changeset here, in March:
changeset/101661833

You are using "AIV Flanders most recent aerial imagery" to map. This is not correct. This is the imagery for Flanders. We have high-resolution imagery for Brussels (UrbIS). But more importantly, the area was rearranged very recently. It looks like you mapped from following an outdated set of images.

I am afraid we will have to delete your changes.
Please do not change anything more here because more changes will make it even more difficult for us to revert your past changesets.

Have a nice day.

Hello,
Thanks for writing back.
In a nutshel, highway=crossing is where a footway intersects a road or a cycle track.
There are 3 possible values for a crossing:
1) crossing=unmarked → this is where people are expected to cross but there is nothing visible on the group
2) crossing=traffic_signals → there are traffic signals for pedestrians
3) crossing=uncontrolled → there are no traffic signals for pedestrians.
In the UK, Ireland and other countries, cases (2) and (3) do not have the same roadmarks and cities paint zebra crossings when there are no lights and dashed lines when there are lights.
On the continent this is different: cities paint zebra crossings for both (2) and (3). Yet it is important to know the difference: OSM data is used to guide blind people or to build pedestrian routing software and it is useful to know whether people will be protected by traffic signals or not. Sadly, iD tends to promote the use of crossing=marked for (2) and (3) and we lose information. This has been a subject of discussion with iD developers. In the mean time, it is safer to still use crossing=uncontrolled or crossing=traffic_signals, as we do everywhere else.

Hello,

Thanks for adding more stuff to the map.

This changeset seems to have a few problems, though.
1) If you can, avoid leaving orphan ways, especially the small bits of sidewalks. It’s better to have footways always end by connecting another way. If you only do one part of a street, you can simply draw half of the pedestrian crossing (to the node in the middle).
Also, it is better to type the tags directly instead of relying on iD presets, because there are many tags created by presets which are irrelevant or damaging, outside of the UK or US (e.g. marked crossings).

2) Contrary to glass-recycling containers, I don’t think the dark green waste baskets are run by Bruxelles-Propreté/Net Brussel. I bet the operator is the municipality. (In this area, it is "Ville de Bruxelles - Stad Brussel".)

Have a nice day.

Hello,
Shall we add min_age=18 on this one? ;-)

Hello,

You wrote the inscription on the memorial as such: "AU FONDATEUR DE LA PREMIERE INTERCOMMUNALE BRUXELLOISE - ARMAND STEURS - BOURGUEMESTRE DE SAINT-JOSSE-TEN-NOODE - 1885-1899"

BOURGUEMESTRE is obviously a misspelling. Is it misspelt on the memorial too?

Hello,
I think you are right. The current orthophoto has a large angle over that part and for large structures this creates a bias. I found properly calibrated pictures using 2015 UrbIS imagery and I fixed the shape of the footbridge.
Thanks for having spotted this.

Hello,
Never forget to set the construction tag too.
highway=construction + construction=secondary
This will allow StreetComplete and other apps to quickly reset the road once the works are complete. Otherwise, the information about the road type (primary, secondary, residential…) is lost.

Hello,
I heard there were plans to remove the exception in that area and remove all the 50-kph signs that had been installed over the New Year.
If that’s the case I will update the source:maxspeed tags accordingly because simply changing the maxspeed tag is incorrect.
Are the 50-kph signs all gone?

Hello,
Perhaps the old_name:* key would be more appropriate for Forum Carbonum. This is certainly not a name anyone would use nowadays.
name:* has always been intended for official names only.

Good point.
Yes, feel free to update it, the same way you did for the campus.
I looked up the Wikipedia article but sadly the EN, NL and FR articles spell it in three different ways.
Thanks for spotting this.

I don’t know.
This info was created in this changet, not by me: changeset/42557630
My changeset was only to fix a name tag.

Thanks :-)

Hello,
There is an issue with some names you are creating.
In multilingual territories in Belgium, the convention is that multilingual names have several parts with " - " (space-hyphen-space) in the middle.
If you spell the campus "Erasmushogeschool Brussel - Campus Bloemenhof" then all the validators will treat it as a multilingual name, and expect one part to be the translation of the other.
We have several such cases already: you could use a longer hyphen (eg. en dash –; em dash —), non-breaking space or, as we did in a previous changeset, write it differently if no-one will feel offended.
changeset/104149965
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Did you change the highway type?
I am asking this because you wrote "Fixed a few things" as the changeset title and it makes really hard for other mappers who have to dig into every element to find out what you did.
Those were set as highway=construction. If you change this, do not forget to remove the construction tag altogether, otherwise you break data consistency.
I can help to fix it but please tell me what you were intending to do exactly.
Have a nice day.
