Changeset When Comment
152642668 about 1 year ago

I get your point, so probably horse=yes should be removed here.
But if you want to comment a changeset, you should address your comment to the mapper who introduced "horse=yes" here. If you inspect the history of those ways, you will see that my changeset was not about deciding to change access for horses but to clean up some obvious errors in tags (merely for pedestrians or to remove motor_vehicle=no, which is implicit for paths and footways).

To answer your last question, SC has separate quests for roads and paths, and my (English-speaking) device says this: "What’s the surface here? Foot path".
Don’t bother, I’ll fix it.

Hello,

I checked your edit and it is a bit strange.

On this picture, we can clearly see that, if the road is made of asphalt, the former bus platform is made of concrete, and the sidewalk is made of setts.

I see that you tagged the former bus platform as "asphalt". Was this a mistake?

OK, thanks. In that case, I will redo your edit and re-use the existing amenity with the new name and contact details, this will make the make much cleaner.
Have a nice day.

I agree that the brand could be part of the name but this is not my point here; the problem is that in multilingual territories, the "name" tag must be an exact concatenation of "name:fr" and "name:nl" with the multilingual separator between them " - ".
i understand that as a new user you are not really familiar with how multilingual names work. I’ll fix it, don’t bother.

Why did you want to create a non-matching name here?

I mean, name:fr and name:nl no longer match the name tag. The way you wrote the main name tag makes it impossible to split cleanly. Can you please explain or at least provide the correct link you used instead of just "Mapillary 2024". Thanks.

Hello,

We are having a little bit of an issue here. There is already a restaurant within the same building.
node/4903511028

Would you mind clarifying what you saw here:
– Are there really two restaurants next to each other?
– Or should Babam replace the existing one?

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

It won’t hurt adding extra access restrictions here but it looks like this is an attempt at solving problems that do not exist.

From the north, Woluwelaan has an explicit "bicycle=no" and "foot=no" restriction, and from the south the only way to enter Woluwelaan is from a motorway, which has default "no" for pedestrians and cyclists alike. No sensible routing engine should have used them.

Was there a problem with the tags here? Did you see an app or a routing engine trying to route users on the main road?

Also, same remark as on your other changeset: "foot=use_sidepath" and "bicycle=use_sidepath" are the only recognised values. If you create your own spelling variants for those tags, apps will ignore them. :-(

Erratum for the second paragraph, which should read as such:

First, "bicycle=use-sidepath" is incorrect, the correct value uses an underscore, i.e. "bicycle=use_sidepath".

Hello,

I am afraid there is a problem with this changeset.

First, "bicycle=use_sidepath" is incorrect, the correct value uses an underscore, i.e. "use_sidepath".

Also, such a tag is there to prevent routing on the main road; it should *only* be used if a separate path exists on the map. In the current situation, the said path is not on the map and you are just ordering routers not to use the road. So, the consequence is that you forbid a turn entirely on this intersection, which will damage both pedestrian and cycle routing.

Please make sure to create a valid routable graph before adding restrictions.

Hello,

The path here is inside a bus depot, it should either not be mapped at all or should have restricted access.

Hello,
In our city, objects like information boards are normally multilingual.
Did you notice anything special here? Was it really a French-only sign?
Thanks.

OK pour ajouter le magasin, mais svp ne jamais écrire les adresses sur les magasins eux-mêmes, OSM = database géographique qui associe déjà automatiquement les adresses = ne pas créer de valeurs doubles, merci.

158901980 about 1 year ago

Thanks for the reply. I rarely use Vespucci and had never seen this issue so far; it is probably something they added recently. I will immediately turn it off on my device too. 😀

Hello,

Apart from the plaque which is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a fictious battle, is there any evidence that this area is really named La Marolle - De Marol? I don’t think this name should presented on OSM as a real neighbourhood.

158904552 about 1 year ago

Hello and welcome to OSM.

For your first steps on the map, I would *strongly* recommend that you do minor changes, preferably on less-critical places of the map.

Although the changeset title claims you corrected parking layout, the "and out building" part seems mysterious. It turns out you changed the main tag on two buildings of VauxHall. I wish to inform you that we had discussions between mappers about how to draw and tag them precisely, because UrbIS data assigns one single ref number for the whole structure, despite it is made of 3 parts. We have special tags to deal with those particular situations. Please do not play with major tags like this until you gain more experience with how the map works. Small mistakes can very quickly corrupt the database, and create unwanted situations for rendering or other third-party apps.

We repaired the situation here.

Hello,
Was there a problem with corridors inside the building? Why did you remove them? Did anyone ask you to do that?

158901980 about 1 year ago

Hello,

Changing the amenity type is okay but please do not add address tags on places.

We work hard to clean up the address system and avoid duplication inside the database. OSM is a geographical database, a lot of information like this is automatically obtained by querying related objects.

Happy mapping.

157100157 about 1 year ago

Wise choice, indeed.
As you see, my changeset was only there to clean up a problem with the addresses, I merely re-used the tags from the previous user. I will change them now.

158859891 about 1 year ago

What I see in taginfo is that amenity=culture_center has only 87 occurrences in the world, almost exclusively in North-America, whereas the tag I provided to you has 2,208 occurrences.

The convention is not my personal choice, it’s part of the general OSM guidelines. The names of tags and their values should follow British English spelling conventions (for example, "colour" instead of "color," "favour" instead of "favor"). This ensures consistency throughout the map's data and avoids duplication that might arise if different contributors use American or other English variations.
