Hello,

You seem desirous to complete as many MapRoulette quests as possible, yet some of your edits have raised some questions.

Just for this changeset, if I inspect the official building outline of those against PICC numerical imagery, which is the official reference for building outlines in this part of Belgium, I see no reason to "fix" them and square them up.

Lots of buildings in Belgium, especially old building inside cities, have shapes that may seem funny to you but are not incorrect. This new quest about "fixing spikes" seem to produce a lot of false positives. This message is to insist that you always check building outlines against official numerical imagery—do not rely on aerial imagery for buildings—otherwise you will unfortunately damage correct shapes.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Sorry but Bing is not a reliable source to "fix" buildings. The shape of the buildings you changed was by no means incorrect. Shapes in Brussels are obtained from accurate government data. I had to restore the original shape.

Hello,
Next time, please do not erase buildings that have a ref:UrbIS tag.
If there is a situation where you want to create an object that spans over a larger area, just create a container area and make this area the main building. But do not erase the smaller buildings, just retag them as building:part=yes and keep the ref:UrbIS tag. This is the unique identifier of every building in Brussels.
Thanks.
I fixed this one.

Hello,

We work with SIAMU/DBDMH (firefighting and emergency medical assistance service in the Brussels-Capital Region) and they have set emergency=* tags for service roads they consider to be needed to route their vehicles.

The standard tag we use is "emergency=*" (yes or no).

"access:emergency=yes" does not seem to be used anymore. Could you please tell me why such a value would be wanted? Who will use that?

I recommend removing this tag but I prefer asking your first.

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome.
Yes, you might have been surprised to see all the notifications, on Tuesday. This is caused by a problem with the current version of the On Wheels app: when people use this app, the data they collected goes to OSM… but erases everything else, which makes the map unusuable because existing data about shops such as opening hours, website or phone number disappears. So we had to clean every edit one by one. We are in contact with Robin and the devs, to see how to fix their app as soon as possible.
Your contributions are welcome, and as you can see, we restored previous data from the backups, while merging it with the valuable data you collected.
Have a nice day.
