I see that this edit also added a `maxspeed=30` tag to at least one alley. This surprises me, because the default maxspeed in BC for alleys is 20km/h. What is the source 30km/h speed?

I haven't contacted the editor, I should, only haven't out of laziness. Although I did leave many changeset summaries stating the issue.

I was confused about their name, "Stop edit", is that a result of being blocked?

Thanks for your answer katpatuka. And thanks for your contributions in this area, and in undermapped areas in general.

That said, I don't think it's a good idea to use Chinese data sources in this area. China has never administered this part of the world, but I think it has an interest in making sure it's map of the region is complete, if not accurate.

I've just spent a lot of time over the last few days fixing name tags in the state of Arunachal Pradesh because there were a lot of name tags containing Chinese language tags, mostly on inconspicuous things. Most of them added by an editor who goes by "Stop edit"(@Stop%20edit), but some by you. Many of the name tags contained a Chinese description of the object (eg name=lake, on a lake, but in Chinese) others followed a structure like name=streamY7. I've fixed it up the best I could, moving tags to name:zh for the most part.

oops...sorry to hit send there before I meant to. :-/

I see that you have added a bunch of name values with this changeset, with many of them being in the Chinese language. I'm wondering where this info has come from. I also noticed that you mistakenly put a "(CN)" in the changeset summary. This changeset is entirely within Indian administered areas, that are claimed by China, but never administered by China.

I'm wondering if you've got this data from a Chinese source.

Hi Katapatuka. I see that you have added a

This area is administered by India. Please use the `name:zh` tag for names in the Chinese language. Do not put Chinese names in the `name` tag.

I forgot to edit the chageset summery to say that this is adding the name:squ tag for Horseshoe bay. Not Vancouver.

Damn it. I forgot to edit the chageset summery to say that this is adding the name:squ tag for the Stawamus River. Not Vancouver.

I forgot to update the source tag on this changeset, it should read BC Mosaic, not Mapbox.

I am pleased that I remembered to check this when I was cycling past on the seawall today. The wreck is no longer present, so I've deleted the node representing it.

I'm not sure why this came through w/o a comment, but it was just me adding some house numbers to buildings.

Huh. Thanks for the info.

I don't know if that qualifies for the `historic`=* tag.

I'll try to remember to take a look at the site next time I'm in the area, because if the derelict pleasure craft is gone that would remove any need for debate over the historic nature of the craft.

Pretending that sidewalks that allow use by cyclists are bike ways does not help cyclists, it just obfuscates the reality of the infrastructure. Also footways are visible on most (all?) renderings, but if they didn't that'd be no reason to use inaccurate tags, as we do not want to tag things for how they will be rendered. See: osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer

I'm not aware of this shipwreck, and am fairly familiar with this part of town. Does this represent a wreck that is still present at the site? Or was a pleasure craft that was briefly stranded here?

Oops, I forgot to update the source tag on this changeset. It should have been BC Mosaic, and no Survey.

I've deleted one campsite that was added in this edit, as it was clearly inaccurate. I'm not sure if there are other objects added to North Van with this changeset that should be removed.

@Chetan_Gowda, I'd like to thank for the response too. I saw it on the map, and was surprised for there to be so many buildings in a park, but your response and some googling has convinced me that it's tagged correctly.

As per the CoV website some buildings have come down, and others have gone up. Looking at the Bing Imagery I think that we have some of the nonexistent buildings mapped, and the new ones missing, but they were under construction when the Bing imagery was taken.

This changeset adds the `name=Sunrise Bikeway` tag to an alley. This seems like it is likely an error, as I am not aware of any alleys with names in Vancouver, and this is not part of the (nearby) Sunrise bike route.

If I am mistaken please let me know, otherwise I plan to delete the name tag. I've also opened a note (note/1029687) that would probably be the best way to respond, to keep the info more clearly visible to others. Thanks!

Thanks for these edits Alan! I added the first roads to Wood Lake Park just the other day, it's great to see so many details in the park now. :-)
