2) osm.wiki/Verifiability

If the name of a path is not posted, and that the name only exists in the head of a few people, even if those are very wise and knowledgeable locals, the name should not be put to the map. Verifiabiliy is a core principle of a crowdsourced map.

You may be interested to use the "old_name" tag instead of "name" if you want to refer to an old colloquial name that is no longer used nowadays.

Finally, please learn how to type names properly, street or paths names in OSM are always written with proper capitalisation on names, write "Chemin des Marmiteux" and not "chemin des marmiteux".

Hello,
Your changes have been reverted. Please only add reliable data to OSM, this is not a game.

Bonjour,
Vos changements ont été effacés.
Ajoutez uniquement des infos correctes dans OSM svp, ceci n’est pas un jeu.

Bonjour

Le bureau immobilier Carine Conti était déjà renseigné sur la carte.
node/10771723018

Il est inutile de créer un doublon.

Votre changement n’est pas correct car vous avez arbitrairement attribué tout cet immense bâtiment comme si c’était l’agent immobilier.

Le numéro de téléphone n’est pas correct.

Vous avez trafiqué l’adresse du bâtiment pour mettre l’adresse de votre client (1 Quai des Ardennes) alors que le bâtiment avait déjà une adresse valide (13 Avenue Albert Mahiels) et que vous avez effacée de la carte. Attention car en faisant ceci vous empêchez des gens de trouver les adresses correctes dans le quartier.

Je vous ai déjà écrit de très nombreuses fois pour vous demander aimablement de faire attention à la manière dont vous éditez la carte.

Vous faites juste un travail de SEO pour ajouter très rapidement vos clients sur la carte, et presque 100 % de contributions comportent des erreurs grossières. En plus, vous utilisez l’espace pour décrire vos changement comme si c’était votre espace publicitaire.

Plusieurs cartographes ont écrit des commentaires ou des messages pour vous conseiller et vous aider à améliorer vos contributions. Vous n’avez répondu à aucun message.

Ayez svp la politesse de répondre que vous avez reçu et compris les messages qui vous ont été adressés. Nous pouvons vous aider à réparer les dégâts faits ici.

Bonjour,

Uniquement les noms véritables sur OSM, svp.

Ne pas inventer des noms au hasard en faisant croire que ce sont des noms locaux.

@Bernit: Please read messages that are being sent to you.

Those names do NOT exist.
They did NOT exist in the past either (not an "oude benaming").

You are just making this up.
There are better ways to have fun in your life than damaging a good map. Please use your time more wisely.

Your account has been reported.

This is nonsense. Please stop vandalizing the map immediately!

Hello,

I don’t think this name exists.
Please stop adding fantasy names to OSM. Your edit will be reverted, as well as every similar edit with names that appear to have been made up.

Hello,

Next time, please upload your changes for Arlon separately from those in Brussels, otherwise you are creating a huge bounding box spanning over half of the country.

I had to revert your "observations" for Brussels because the building you touched has several doors, each with its own address, not just one. All the addresses are properly set on the doors, we do not need to assign a general address to the whole building.

My comment was about the cycle track but I agree that there might be more work to do to align the road.
I remember the situation before the roadworks but am not yet very familiar with the new situation in this area.
There is a very active mapper in Vilvoorde whom I asked to have a look too, hoping he can help.
Have a nice day.

(I saw your comment on another changeset here, I’ll try to have a look.)

Hello,

Is it me or did you just destroy all the work by @Thierry1030 and others who drew the new cycle tracks?
way/569441997/history

"AIV Flanders preliminary imagery" is more recent than the default base layer, you might want to have a look to be sure about the location of those cycle tracks.

Hello,

If the changeset is about swimming pools, why did you tag this as a simple body of water? It looks like an ordinary private swimming pool, doesn’t it?
way/1182467284

Hello,

I fixed the situation here. There are multiple ways to map such an infrastructure; it looks like drawing cycle and pedestrian ways separately will make it it easier for everyone in the long run.

Just one thing: OSM has an open and well-documented data model, and there are hundreds of engines that use our data to build various apps or navigation tools. We did not write such thing as "unspecified" in OSM. This is an invention by Strava people, probably that they are unable to use our data model properly and cannot route cyclists where every other routing engine can. AFAIK, Strava uses closed-source code, so we don’t know what they do with our data.

Have a nice day.

↑ The comment above was meant for note/3720027 to thank the user.

Interesting shortcut, indeed.
Thanks.
changeset/137407354

Sorry but this is incorrect.

This object is tagged primarily as a footway, with a segregated part for cyclists.
(This is what tags say: highway=footway + bicycle=yes + segregated=yes)

You should use cycleway:surface here, because the part for pedestrian is not made of asphalt but paving stones.
cycleway:surface=*

Thanks for writing back.

Indeed, there are plenty of mistakes here, it’s fortunate we have very recent photo coverage on Mapillary. (This is a free collection of pictures we did ourselves for OSM.)

Kiran is a convenience shop and it is in the same building as number 11 (one building with two doors: one private entrance and one for the store.

I did the necessary fixes.

Have a nice day.

After writing my comment, I asked the question on the OpenStreetMap Belgium Matrix Chat. There have been a few replies so far.

Hello,

I see you tagged most buildings here as "apartment" buildings.

On the following set of pictures we took (https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=237234365385252) it appears that most houses on Rue Van Kalck/Van Kalckstraat are single-family houses.

The purpose of this quest is StreetComplete was precisely to accurately distinguish between apartment buildings and ordinary houses. Putting inaccurate or incorrect information our database defeats this objective.

Would you mind having a second look at your changes?

Hello,

I don’t think that "Kiran shop" is a bank. It looks like you just filled an empty name on the map without looking at the type of shop.

I can fix it if you can tell me what you saw exactly here.

Thanks.

Hello.

In this changeset, you removed two buildings that appear to be still there (in Bing Maps Aerial which iD claims you have been using, and in Mapbox Satellite too).
way/88006980/history and way/177545021/history

Were those buildings razed recently?

If that is the case, it is adviseable to say so in the changeset title. When users with few contributions start deleting buildings or landmarks and hide their changes under a vague "Some minor changes" title, you could easily understand that it raises suspicions.

Would you mind providing some more info please?
