Hello,

We advise you to please upload your pending changes *before* moving to another place in the city.

This is to avoid ending up with large bounding boxes like the one you see here: some of us are reviewing recent changes in Brussels and your changes in two different locations are grouped together because you uploaded all of them at once. This makes life harder for your fellow mappers.

Hello,

I was wondering why we got strange results since a few days.
It looks like you’ve been putting wrong data on the map.
The way you touched is the connector leaving the boulevard, which only has 1 lane, not 2.
OSM is based on users trusting each others, and errors like this can be really hard to spot. StreetComplete is certainly a very funny app to use but please make sure you enter correct data.
(Fixed by changeset/127383908)
Have a nice day.

Hello,

What does the changeset title mean?

Also, if you add "highway=path" on the way, you should also delete the existing that that says it is not a path (disused:highway=path), otherwise the database gets extremely messy.

Of course I can do it myself, but I felt you might be interested in learning this, so that you get extra skills to do it right the next time.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Your changeset creates problem on the map.
If I look for the nearest swimming pool, those pools will now show up. This is not the desired outcome → you should set access=private to them.

I started fixing this, I will try to continue later.

Also, it looks like your polygons have strange shapes despite those pools look like perfect rectangles. If you use the online editor, I think there are tools to straighten shapes up.

I doubt this should be tagged as a shop since the name suggests it’s a meeting point:
node/10087219717

The location of the guest house in Dubai seems strange too.

Looks like a fake edit.

Écrivez « École » et pas « Ecole » svp. :-)

Hello,

Congratulations about the new shop.

Just one problem: There is no official housenumber 14 here. I surveyed the boulevard this morning, as well as the underground shopping gallery (named The Mint) to look if Kruidvat was about to open here somewhere, and it was nowhere to be found. We have no vacant shops here at the moment, and it’s unlikely an existing shop will depart overnight to make space for it.

Do you have any indication about where it can be? Possibly the name of the shop it is supposed to replace.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for this.

Writing proper changeset comments is always appreciated, out of courtesy for your fellow mappers.

When you label your changes "Updates" or "Kleine toevoegingen", we need to do detective work and look at objects one by one to check what has changed exactly.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

I must warn you this change was misguided.
MapRoulette can be a nice tool to spot mistakes but there was no mistake in the name here.

The French name is "Place de la Monnaie" and the Dutch name is "Munt". This was confirmed by official data from the Brussels Region and from surveying: those are the names on street signs here.

Yes, we know it might make more sense to create a match and ensure that "Place" goes with "Plein" but that is not correct. We know people regularly do mistakes like this, and this why we had anticipated the problem and had set alt_name=Muntplein some time ago, to make it searchable through Nominatim.

(There are dozens of streets elsewhere in Brussels where French and Dutch name do not match, e.g. "Place du Jeu de Balle - Vossenplein". This is normal in a city with a complex history.)

We had to revert your change.

OK, thanks for the link. Indeed, the building was removed from UrbisAdm and is hardly visible on latest aerial imagery. We restored it.

Thanks for writing back.

Not to put too fine a point on it but amenity=dentist will be correct only if patients can come here to get some treatment. That would be the case for both a regular dentist and a specialist, e.g. an orthodontist. If that is the case here, keep the tags.

If this place is, as the name suggests, just a laboratory that provides assistance to dentists but does not open its door to patients, it should be tagged differently. (Probably like this: no amenity tag, healthcare=laboratory, healthcare:speciality=orthodontics)

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Is that really one single buiding?

Buildings are normally referenced on official UrbIS data, this one isn’t.

On aerial imagery, this looks like a collection of small structures, e.g. greenhouses or prefabricated buildings, as seen during this field survey earlier this year: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1015782669296995

Hello,

Thanks for adding information on the map but I am afraid you’re doing it wrong.

When filling the street, you must only write something like "Willem de Croylaan", and NOT "Willem de Croylaan, 15". The housenumber is written in a separate field (addr:housenumber in the database), which is a separate query in StreetComplete.

Hello,

I saw you requested a review for this changeset.

It’s not recommended to add "seats=4" on ordinary benches. This tag is normally used only for benches with individual seats. For a normal bench we do not tag the capacity.

Also, for mapping within the Brussels-Capital Region, it’s better to use UrbIS imagery (probably names CIRB/CIBG in the baby editor) because it’s far more accurate than AIV Flanders and is full orthophoto.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Even if the name is quite explicit, tagging it as amenity=dentist will show it exactly as a regular dentist on the map, this might be misleading for anyone who is looking for a dentist, or for every routine calculating statistics, such as the coverage of an area.

Don’t you think there could be a better main tag here?

Hello,

After your edit, now there are two buildings with the number 42 here, causing validation issues. :-(
Duplicate of way/358624659

I suggest you would review your change and remove the bad one.

Hello,

Thanks for providing the full name and some tags.

I added a link to the etymology: it might help in case other mappers would believe it is "Jacques" instead.

I saw in your latest contributions that you are filling the postcodes and cities names on objects. I want to inform you this is not necessary in most countries (e.g. Belgium) because those are already obtained through existing zones. And on this object, no address is necessary at all because the POI is located within a building that has a single address.

Hope this helps. Happy mapping!

Hello,

Thanks for adding schoolyards but could you please check those areas again. It seems they are overlapping school buildings, and this triggers validation issues.

Thanks, the fix is perfect.

@JuanjoMC
In fact, "addr:street" should match the "name" tag of the street, otherwise we get validation warnings here. Don’t worry, I’ve just fixed this too. (And since most search engines are case insensitive it won’t make any difference anyway.)

Hello,

Thanks for adding more info to the map.

May I bring two pieces of advice here:

1) It’s better to upload changes in Antwerp and Brussels in separate changesets. If you do all at once, it creates this large box, which will annoy every mapper reviewing any part of the map between those two places.

2) Even though I’m not a specialist in brands, I think "Max & Moi" (node/2665166658) is a French brand and is unrelated to Indian "Max Fashion" brand, their corporate identity look very different. Same for Helly Hansen (node/2665165952), which is a Norwegian brand and is unrelated to "7 for All Mankind". The iD editor sometimes suggests "upgrading" the tags of a POI, but there is a lot of crap in those suggestions, it’s better to ignore most of them.

Hope his helps.
