126852991 about 3 years ago

Hello,

I think the change is legit, because the street seems to be named after Henrik Van der Noot, who served as Prime Minister of the first version of Belgium (1790) after a short-lived revolution.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Van_der_Noot

I didn’t know he lived or died in this area, so this is very likely they named a street here after him.

Wikipedia articles in various languages seem to agree about "der"; however "Van" or "van" are used interchangeably → I suspect "van der Nootstraat" is the correct spelling anyway.

For discrepancies with GRB (or more exactly, CRAB) data, we usually add "official_name=Van Der Nootstraat" on the street. ;-)

I am not a specialist of RouteYou, not a user either, and AFAIK their source code is closed, so we can not investigate why they do not treat paths correctly.

If in your app there is a function to report a mistake you might raise the issue and suggest they use standard access values if they use OSM data
(osm.wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions#Belgium)

Solving the problem upstream is preferred to adding extra tags on tens of thousands of such paths all over Belgium, and possibly other countries.

Please use AIV Flanders GRB background to draw buildings, never trace on aerial imagery please.

Hello,

Just out of curiosity: Is there a practical use of having all the ring roads of different cities within the same relation?

Without that, it might fall into the "relations are not categories" issue.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Please check again, there are still several tags related to the former bicycle shop on the building.

Hello,

Many mistakes in this changeset, we are now busy trying to figure out what you wanted to do, and remove corrupted data. In this one and your other changesets of yesterday, you broke a bus shelter, moved areas, created polygons on top of existing structures, and filled names instead of using tags (such as "Zone nature" and many others).

Perhaps I could suggest retaking the tutorial, or that you only attempt to do minor changes to the database instead of trying to play with large structures.

No names on areas like this one, please. "Potagé" (I guess the correct spelling is "Potager", right?) is at most a description and not the name.

The database does not understand random French words on objects.

Hello, and welcome to OSM.

Thanks for this but, sadly, we had to undo your change. A "path" (highway=path in the database) automatically grants access to pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders, anywhere in Belgium, and disallows motor vehicles. There is no need to write this manually on every such path.

Hello,

No need to force postcode and city names manually on every object in OSM. It makes no sense to clutter the database by repeating the same information on thousands of objects.

Check out this relation: every house within this perimeter is automatically recognized as "4000 Liège".

Hello,

amenity=parking inside amenity=parking now: node/3688318718

Hello,

Thanks for writing back.
Indeed, OpenStreetMap is a database and the only thing that counts is the list of tags.

It looks like you are editing straight from the main website, this software is named the "iD editor". You can scroll down in the left pane, to the "Tags" part and will see all the information for that point.

iD tries to summarises some of them in pretty boxes but sometimes fails at spotting contact:* tags, for instance, because it still uses the old tagging scheme for contact details. That’s why people who only rely on the presets above will fall into the "other mappers forgot this information, I will put it" trap.

Don’t worry, you’re not the first one. ;-)

Happy mapping.

Hello,

It would be appreciated if you would not delete shops. When a shop closes down, it’s better to tag it as vacant, that will preserve the history of nodes and make queries easier. ;-)

Restored for v3.

Shouldn’t it be "À la mémoire" instead of "A la memoire"? Accented capitals matter.

126399724 over 3 years ago

Hello,

I get your point. Until they create more connectors, your claim is valid: I restored the node to the other intersection, it makes sense because that is really the forking point.

In the future, we’ll probably have to duplicate some points to ensure that all cycle routes connecting two nodes connect it.

That being said, we might have to wait a little before mapping the cycle node network: only a few municipalities have already put the signs so far: I followed this sign yesterday onto Porte de Namur/Naamsepoort and the next node was nowhere to be found. :-D

Hello,

We are trying to review this changeset and some changes are really puzzling.

Why did you artificially made this road a "tunnel" with layer -1, whereas all the elevated structure already has proper bridge tags?
way/1096073883

More importantly, you put a barrier=block across this road (node/2639668768), effectively breaking all car routing.

Would you please be so kind as to explain what you wanted to achieve here. Have roads here been suddenly barred to cars? Did you survey it recently?

126396934 over 3 years ago

Your edit has been reverted.

Address tags are not necessary on POI when they are located inside a building with a single address → they automatically inherit all the address tags, no need to repeat that on every POI, it just clutters the database.

Website and phone numbers were already in the database. Please use the tags when editing, not the presets, and you will understand the mistake.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

I think you attempted a mechanical edit here. Those are discouraged for a good reason.

This pub in Leuven, Belgium, is named "Seven Eleven" and has nothing to do with the 7-Eleven brand.
node/4502597432/history

Please undo your changes.
Thanks in advance.

Hello and thanks for the research.

Indeed, someone seems to have updated the wiki to include yes/no values, though they hadn’t been discussed or validated. Never mind, I get the general idea you wanted to convey here, we’ll leave the tag as it is.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

It’s always a good habit to write names with accented characters. ;-)
name="Eglise Evangélique" → "Église Évangélique"
