also, try to ask questions at help.openstreetmap.org or from nearby mappers if you need help with OSM-related stuff

Bing WMS not working

So far, I do not have problems with it. Try flushing the tile cache in JOSM.

OSM Browser Woes

I'm also encountering a similar problem.

It can be done in Potlatch. See osm.wiki/Relation:restriction for more information.

Mapping part of West Triangle in Quezon City

It's a good thing that you found a better cop-out. Other than that, another job well done.

Cartography Sticker

@LR-7 Thank you for responding to my comment.

By the way, you could encounter this problem - entering sites that may raise someone's suspicion (specifically outdoor retail strips/areas within "private property"). My suggestion is for you to make a customized ID. (Note: This problem pops up for me from time to time).

Cartography Sticker

If the gated community requires you to leave your ID with the security personnel, tag it as access=private. (Even if you can enter through a sticker, most users cannot enter the gated communities) Also, DO NOT copy data from Google Maps and Google Mapmaker.

I'm talking about housenumber documentation paranoia, not Panoramafreiheit.

Non-legalese version of the contributor terms

And there should be an option where you can "choose" your license. (Suggested licenses are ODbL 1.0, DbCL 1.0, CC BY-SA (2.0, 2.5, 3.0) and PD. You can choose to dual or multi-license your edits/contributions unless want your edits to be part of the Public domain or the "let the foundation decide that for me" license)

Non-legalese version of the contributor terms

It should be "anything", not "anyhing". And there should be a "Message too long? Click here" link for those who are stumped with those "big words"

Housenumbers and privacy

I assume that the person is running for a local post in Los Baños. To play safe, I won't upload the waypoints/traces that contain the offending waypoint (until we make amends or the concerned person forgets the incident in 2-4 months time)

Housenumbers and privacy

Thanks, Gnonthgol and JohnSmith.

Papé Beltway in the news

@daveemtb I also use name= and osm.wiki/Tag:old_name=, but that doesn't cause that much controversy IRL. For example: http://www.gmanews.tv/story/143204/Officials-inaugurate-GMA-Network-Drive-in-QC, which happened over a year ago.
