Bonjour,

La rue est dans une zone de rencontre. La loi belge implique une vitesse plus basse, 20 km/h avec ce panneau.

Hello,

The outline of the water bodies could be precisely traced from UrbisAdm, which is fairly reliable for those kinds of structures. But it’s probably impossible to do this correctly with the iD editor. Also, official data suggests there is one elongated body of water instead of a few individual ponds.

I will redo your edit.

Hello,

I saw you mechanically removed several instances having "name=Edificio" in the world, because it means "building" in Spanish.

However, for this changeset, I think it was misguided. The node you edited is for a company’s office. Edificio is the true name of that company.

I plan to revert this.

Hello, and welcome to OSM.

Thanks for spotting a missing convenience shop.

Please do not edit building structures for edits like this. A simple floating node inside the building is the recommended way to tag shops.

We fixed your edit here. No further action is expected.

Hello, and welcome to OSM.

Upon adding your own business to the map, you erased an office named "Service du Registre des personnes morales".

I tried to look it up and it seems to be still there, in the same building. There might be a mistake somewhere.

Can you please reply and confirm that "Service du Registre des personnes morales" is no longer here and has been replaced by Wadis. Is it really like that?

## REVERTED CHANGESET
This edit + your subsequent edit 170868902 adding "crossing=yes" have been reverted.

170837089 4 months ago

Hello,

With respect, I think that this edit is wrong.

Traffic lights only apply when pedestrians cross the road (node/3136263647) and the tram tracks (node/4943887040). But once pedestrians have reached the middle part, the intersection with the cycle track has no markings and is beyond the scope of the traffic signals.

Why did you change this?

Thanks for writing back.

About your other questions now.
All the objects you added today are still in the database, so they will be available for searches.

There are 3 reasons why you won’t see them immediately on the map. (The explanation below might be a little technical, I hope it’s understandable).

1. The map you see on openstreetmap.org is a static image which is recalculated once a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. It takes a little time to see recent changes. On the contrary, when you edit the map, the editing software downloads fresh data and will show everything.

2. Monkey Donkey and the bicycle stands are very close to each other. The software that draws the map will probably make a choice and hide one of them. But it’s not a problem because if people search for something specific they will always find it.

3. The two objects inside the building, Vanessa Colignon (craft=dressmaker) and Design for Resilience (craft=handicraft), are okay but as of 2025 the map layer from osm.org does not provide an icon for places within the "craft" category. Most mobile apps like OsmAnd, Organic Maps or CoMaps correctly show thoses places, they will be visible there, and of course they appear in searches, so people will always find them.

Hello.
Why did you comment on this changeset?
I removed the link to "Velo Antwerpen". Do I understand that you want it back?

Hello, TommyEnglish,

Please avoid uploading random items in Norway, Spain and Sweden.

You may not be aware of this but when you upload data to the map, your upload is shown as a "bounding box" that is as large as the location of the various objects in it. Since it contains unrelated objects in multiple countries, your change covers most of Europe, which will annoy a lot of mappers.

Next time, please make 3 separate changesets for a change like this.
osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

Also, the restaurant you added in Krokek is a duplicate of the one you added a few hours earlier. I removed it.

## REVERTED CHANGESET

Thanks for adding your business on the map.

But… please do not use changeset titles for promotional content, this is considered as spam.

Also please do not change the geometry of buildings or add false information (such as building:levels=0, which means that the height of this building is… 0 metres; you also removed the house from the associatedStreet relation for no reason).

Your edit has been redone.

Your business is on the map, as a node inside the building: node/13087044149

170472604 4 months ago

Hello, and welcome to OSM.

Thanks for updating a name of a company.

We fixed your edit, to write the name in normal case instead of capital letters.

165501215 4 months ago

Thanks for spotting the issue. Authorities really created a mess here.

A full grid for secondary roads can be achieved when the tunnel reopens.

Until that happens, we can solve this issue by demoting the southern part as tertiary.

Sooner or later, another mapper will start erasing non-existing names.

The "description" tag looks like what you are looking for. If you are building a project that reads OSM data, binding it to this tag would be better.

170394844 4 months ago

Bonjour,

Serait-il possible d'écrire autre chose que « ajout passage feu stop, etc » dans la description svp ?

Vos derniers >200 changesets récents ont ce même titre, qui n'a rien à voir avec le contenu changé.

Merci, amicalement.

Hello,

I am afraid those "names" will have to be deleted.

Names are only for real names. A defibrillator does not have an official name, does it?

170316684 4 months ago

Hello,

We already fixed a few problems with your previous edits.

Out of courtesy for your fellow mappers, can I please recommend avoiding giant uploads containing "various unrelated stuff" in your area? Instead, focus on one small area or one particular topic, finish your upload, and only then start working on other things.

Thanks in advance.

Votre changement a été effacé.

Au Soleil du Midi était déjà sur la carte ici : node/9865668227
Il ne faut pas l'ajouter une deuxième fois. Et surtout pas en changeant la structure du bâtiment.

Voir commentaire qui vous a été envoyé hier pour expliquer l’erreur : changeset/170234092

170234092 4 months ago

Hello, and welcome to OSM.

Thanks for spotting that this caterer has moved.

However, I must inform you that the way you edited the map yourself is incorrect.

I will try to explain here.

You typed an address on this restaurant without changing its location. As a consequence, we now have a place that says that "346 Avenue Georges Henri" is located in this part of Etterbeek. This is obviously wrong and is someone looks for an address on Georges Henri they will get a location here as a result. It damages the reputation of OSM. Please don’t do this.

The correct way is to remove the tags on the node on the former location and add them on a node on the new location.

I fixed your edit. We had a vacant shop in the new building, which we could re-use.
node/9865668227

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Better changeset comments would be appreciated, instead of those "mise à jour" or "corrections", which make it impossible to understand why we are having this giant changeset.

Thanks in advance.
