OK for the fix here
way/149141419

… but why did you erase the entire associatedStreet relation?

We opened a discussion yesterday during the OSM.be meeting but haven’t settled on a definitive version yet, especially because the proposed tagging scheme does not work for circular routes.

In addition, what you’ve just done here is also violating language rules because the language separator is not used correctly.

Please pause your edits until we can reach a consensus.

Hi and welcome.

The objects you uploaded to the OSM database today raise a few questions.

First, if you edit in multiple countries, it is preferable to upload items separately.

Second, we’d like to ask how those points were collected. Personal surveys? Probably not on the same day or week. That is another reason to upload changes separately, because a single changeset spanning several continents raise some legitimate suspicion.

Finally, some names or objects seem very strange. Here are a few examples.

node/11269505477
name=Nice sand beach
Very unlikely to be a real name, it looks more like a personal comment about that beach.

node/11269505373
name=local bar
→ If a bar has no name, do not invent a name.

Also, I doubt that amenities in Sub-Saharan Africa have Swedish names, such as: Vw buss, Gamla bilar, Beach smått, Tyger i mängder…

node/11269505376
name=Afya Internationall hospital
I wanted to know if such a hospital existed (and how OSM mappers would have missed such an important hospital so far). There is a building nearby, which is probably the hospital… but what a nice coincidence to see that both Apple Maps and your node have the same location, not inside the building but a few meters on the west!

node/11269505472
name=Land for sale
shop=laundry
→ This is a very unlikely combination, perhaps autocomplete in the app offering the wrong object type.

Either you didn’t intend to share those personal bookmarks and inadvertently uploaded them, or you wanted to contribute to OSM by adding all of those. In both cases, it looks like this changeset contains so many mistakes or dubious objects that it should be reverted. (Unless somebody wants to spend the time investigating everything and fixing every object one by one.)

That being said, I don’t understand the layout of this cycle track.

Upon looking at DV preliminary imagery, it is located just east of the new tunnel… but this is a normal road that is already open.

The picture I have was taken about 2 weeks ago. It’s possible a new cycle track will come here, but in this case we’d rather draw it slightly more to the east. I’ll see what I can do.

If you have more info about the onteigeningsbesluit or a link to a description or map of the project, don’t hesitate to share here below, it will save time.

Thanks for this but just one thing:

highway=construction on its own is meaningless.

If this is a future cycle track, then there must be two tags:
highway=construction + construction=cycleway.

That makes it easier in a later stage, e.g. when StreetComplete can ask a mapper passing by whether construction is complete, so that adding the correct tag is straightforward.

The key in OSM is "dog", not "dogs".
dog=*

Wrong object. Your change has been undone.

Hello,

In OSM, addr:housenumber=425-427 is automatically interpreted as 425 + 426 + 427.

This is probably incorrect, with only 425 and 427 on this side of the road.

Fixed.

Hello,

Strange value here: it cannot have name=Belfius and brand=Batopin at the same time.
node/5113783764/history

I guess this is a normal Batopin ATM now, they are gradually moving legacy devices to this new brand (this is a joint-venture between several Belgian banks).

Could you please clarify? That way, we’ll be able to fix the tags here.

Here is the note, with a link to what this "peak" is about:
note/3739218

AFAIK there is no way to retrieve all your changeset per category (apart from the hard way, i.e. clicking on your username and scrolling down to every changeset, then inspecting).

I ran a query on the whole area where I know you are active. Fortunately, there were only those two streets, so the damage was limited. They are already fixed.

Yes, we fixed it yesterday.

Bonjour et merci pour l’ajout.

Attention : toujours bien écrire les noms des rues en français ET en néerlandais. OSM est une carte multilingue.

Nous avons corrigé.

I reverted your changeset.

You moved a note of the footway so that the validator would be happy until the footway and the building do not cross.

The problem was not the footway here, the problem was that the building outline was not drawn properly because someone once redrew the building and thought the concrete floor was part of the building.

We restored the footway to its real location and fixed the underlying problem.

Adding layer=1 just to please the validator makes no sense.

The real problem is that buildings are not drawn properly. There are a few separate buildings here and not this giant building shape.

If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please request help. Please do not enter false information to the map just to solve the quest.

Hello,

I would like to raise your attention about cycleway quests in StreetComplete.

When SC asks you whether there are cycleways (i.e. cycle lanes or tracks), if you answer "no" you are given the choice between two options. One says no but cyclists are allowed in both directions. The other says something like "no, and by the way this street is only one-way for everyone and also cyclists".

Be sure to choose the first option I described here.

As you can see here, your changeset erased "oneway:bicycle=no" from several streets in this area. Without this tag, routers considers cyclists may *not* use a street against traffic.

Version #21: way/36266199/history

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Thanks for updating the map. Just one thing: If a shop no longer exists, it is advised to remove its tags and set it as vacant; preserving the history of objects is useful, instead of deleting them.

The travel agency was added several months ago by a trusted user who really surveys places. Calling it a "fake" shop is probably exaggerated; most probably the shop was there several months ago but closed down recently. Thanks for your survey anyway.

## VANDALISM DETECTED ##

Hello,
I noticed you have just erased a building and added address tags on the shop itself.
Please do NOT do this.
In Belgium we strive to write addresses no buildings or doors, never on shops (they automatically inherited addresses for container buildings anyway). Erasing building from the map when the building exists is not acceptable.
I will undo your edit.
Please do not change this again.

Hello,

Some users have been trying to contact you in the past about this. I cannot help but notice that you often create duplicate nodes that we have to clean over and over.

User gscholz has to come here almost every day for this, e.g.
node/11249160723/history
node/10979937525/history
node/11248187201/history
node/11246028188/history

Can I please also suggest a few ways to improve your future contributions.

1) Make sure to always put a real title when you change something, not just a generic title that sounds like "It’s none of your business!", especially when doing several different things on a large perimeter.

2) Perhaps fewer contributions but with a higher quality, to avoid that other volunteers must spend their time re-doing your edits and cleaning up after you all the time.
Look at this building: way/1214545236
Buildings are rarely trapezes, more commonly rectangles. The edges of this building are not aligned with the GRB map.

Have a nice day.
