68763104 over 6 years ago

I have to revert this changeset; the tagging convention in Hong Kong is to list both the Chinese and English names in name=*.

I think this is still problematic; it looks like changeset/52847968 unnecessarily duplicated some (but not all) of the ways without correcting the layer values. The user seems to have thought that each direction of a road needs to be mapped separately. Even though some of them are correctly physically separated, others seem to be problematic or aren't drawn correctly (e.g. the road at podium level near The Waterfront/The Arch definitely doesn't have a barrier down the middle).

Some of the new nodes also connect layer=1 and layer=0 ways. I'm not sure what layer they should be in.

On an aesthetic level, the nine extra decorative characters on Times Square–42nd Street don't look as bad as I thought they would (and the font support helps), although they do take up quite a bit of extra space.

A few months ago I standardized most of the station names to uniformly remove the (A,C,E) brackets per tagging conventions (as well as fixing other misc. things like en dashes). Before it was quite inconsistent, so I made the sort-of-mechanical edits and I don't think anyone complained about it.

I think adding the line names as decorative Unicode characters could work but I'm not sure if that would be breaking the tagging convention. I'm also not a New Yorker so I'll probably leave any sort of decision on this to others.

I've undone this changeset entirely, because the object was clearly added in the wrong place.

68361812 almost 7 years ago

I've undone this changeset entirely because:
• The changeset introduced a number of errors.
• The address provided (Century House, 3–4 Hanoi Road) contradicts the address shown on the linked website (Hart House, 12–14 Hart Avenue), so out of caution I have also removed the store in addition to reverting the errors.
• The added node did not specify the actual function of the store. The tags "shop=hookah" and "amenity=hookah_lounge" may be appropriate (see shop=hookah, amenity=hookah_lounge).

I've modified the tags on the object. Let me know if you think I've made a mistake.

Hi, unfortunately this already existed in the map before you added it (way/264462780), so I'll remove it.

64760367 almost 7 years ago

Done. (changeset/67740659)

64760367 almost 7 years ago

As suggested by the wiki (railway=station), I'll add landuse=railway and see if it works.

This changeset caused the stations to stop rendering.

Of course, this is not to say that I actually know whether aaronsta plagiarized in this series of edits, but considering that government maps of Hong Kong are copyrighted and the lack of appropriate sourcing (source=aaronsta on changesets), I would have some doubts.

67232910 almost 7 years ago

Is there a reason highway areas would be altogether inappropriate? They are quite frequently used (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/?key=area%3Ahighway).

Separately, the user who made these changes was blocked at least once for making illegal imports, which I suspect might be a problem here (though the additions were years ago).

67362086 almost 7 years ago

Sorry, I didn't realize there was also a layer conflict with the Cross-Harbour Tunnel (the ways weren't downloaded by the JOSM reverter, so the validator couldn't have caught it). I thought the only conflict was with the Tsuen Wan Line.

Does the slip road actually have a name? I'm fairly sure it doesn't, but I'm not sure. (Also, the Chinese name should be before the English name.)
