Hello,

Thanks for editing the map.

I suppose the traffic-calming is on the road, isnt’it? You seem to have attached it to the water.

Also, do not forget to always write a small description about your changes, it will help other mappers to see what you wanted to do.

Hello,

I fixed your edit. The cafe is not the entire building, there its tags must go to a separate node instead of transforming the whole building into a cafe.

Happy mapping.

Hello,

Thanks for this.

I see you are apparently using the iD online editor.

When you add a bicycle parking, there is a long form on your screen, but you do not have to tick all the boxes: covered=no and fee=no are the default values, you do not have to insert them manually.

On the contrary, adding the type of stands is useful. U-shaped stands are the most secure type and it’s interesting to know where to find them.

Capacity can be useful too. The rule we apply in OSM is that every U-shaped stand can accomodate 2 bicycles. Therefore, a group of 3 stands gives capacity=6.

Happy mapping!

Hello,

Do not forget to always write a meaningful description when you edit the map. Especially when you create a changeset that spans over a large territory like this one.

It looks like you moved a few bars in LLN, and also clicked on a few buttons in the iD editor to add some tags such as wikidata on bus stop and bus routes. This is not really necessary, you can ignore those suggestions. ;-)

Hello,

Svp. ne pas dessiner les bâtiments sur base des orthophotos. Urbis-Ortho est bon pour les routes et les chemins.
Nous utilisons UrbisAdm pour les outlines des bâtiments.

Hello,

I see you are using StreetComplete. I want to inform you of a possible problem, because your change here created a problem.

The "cycleway" quest in StreetComplete is always difficult to answer properly in streets that are one-way for motor traffic and two-ways for bicycles. You can recognize them easily, they have small white signs with bicycles under the red no-entry sign. Those are very common in Brussels.

In StreetComplete, when you are presented with a list of 10 types of bicycle lanes, there is an option that says something like "None, but cyclists may use road in both directions". You have to select this one.

Otherwise, you are denying cyclists the right to use the road in both directions and this breaks routing.

I restored it, but I felt I had to warn you. SC is a great tool but it can easily destroy valid routing data if not used with extreme care.

Happy mapping. :-)

Hello,
Thanks, but please be careful when writing street names, because Brussels is a bilingual city.
I fixed this.

Hello,
I suppose this footway is not a tunnel under a building but a passage across a building, right?
In that case, you can split the footway where it intersects the building and tag the middle part with tunnel=building_passage. And no layer tag, of course.

OK, thanks.

Sorry, I meant Ghent, which is still unnamed and should become "Lage-emissiezone Gent".
relation/9626436

Hello,

Please be kind to other mappers and use a better title for your changesets.
A huge bbox with "Brussel" covering our entire city produces nothing but confusion for all local mappers about what you really did.

I gathered you changed the name of the low-emission zone boundary to include the name of the city to it.
(I see you are routinely editing several LEZ in Europe, I guess the city of Antwerp is next on your list.)

Hello,

Thanks for your first contribution.
But there is probably a small problem here.

You changed a street in Brussels (Belgium) and also moved sidewalks in New York (USA). All in the same changeset, hence creating a huge bbox across the Atlantic.

Those two ways in New York look very suspicious. It’s probably a mistake and someone should revert this.
way/771190883 (v7)
way/773654719 (v2)

I know the street in Brussels you changed and I am not sure the direction you set is correct. But I’ll try to survey that one.

Hello,

AFAIK, way/111347287 is located on the border between Flanders and Brussels. This street belongs to both Regions.

Hello,

I see you changed many railway stations into railway=halt.

This change here seems to go against the recommendations we had discussed within the Belgian community. We use "halt" for stations with no staff (basically two platforms and stairs, and that’s it) and "station" when there is a small building with employees, at least during the day.
osm.wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Railways#Stations

Can you please describe on what criteria you chose the stations you wanted to change into mere halts?

Hello,
It would be advisable to upload your changes before travelling from one country to the other.
Because this changeset contains data for both Ireland and Switzerland and it spans over a large territory; there are people who look at recent changesets in their city and who came across your huge box here.

Hello,
Splitting ways in iD is never a good idea when they are used by route relations.
All 44 bus routes using way/1003492531 were broken by this changeset.
I’ll try to see if can fix this now.
Have a nice day.

My comment was written more than 2 years ago. As I recall, the problem with validation was that the `name` tag didn’t match some translations because one had been simplified and not the other.

In bilingual Brussels, Osmose expects `name` to match the concatenation of `name:fr` and `name:nl`.

Some names were simplified, e.g. replacing "Ambassade van de Republiek Haïti" with "Ambassade van Haïti" whereas `name:fr` and `name:nl` were not changed accordingly. That was the problem I noticed, and which we still have to clean up.

The `target` key can accomodate multiple values. target=BE;LU;EU should be fine. (Notice the semicolon as a separator.)

Hello,

I fixed part of your edit.

"Pharmacie" is not a valid name for a business. Perhaps that’s the only visible display there but tagging the node as a pharmacy was already set in OSM.

If there is no name, then… there is no name and we do not use what the place is about as a name. (And at the very least, names in Brussels must be written in two languages, then.)

I see you are using StreetComplete; there is an option to answer "This place has no name".

Happy mapping!

The wikidata entry was fine until *you* changed it today
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q2845952&oldid=1458935819

Hello,

I am afraid there is something strange about this changeset. The title is a bit misleading because it’s not just about adding more info: you actually renamed it completely and erased the description tag.

I am referring to the discussion we had some time ago about those buildings. (note/2816218)

My understanding is that the city gate named "Porte de Namur - Naamsepoort" is a very precise location in the city, which will never move:
osm.org/?mlat=50.83864&mlon=4.36198#map=17/50.83864/4.36198

On the contrary, we are talking here about two small buildings which were built there, then dismantled and rebuilt on this location here. Therefore, there is no such thing as a city gate changing its location but they simply moved stones.

Incidently, now, every query for "Porte de Namur - Naamsepoort" will redirect to those two buildings, which will feel pretty wrong for anyone using the map for practical use.

What do you think?
