This edit also contains bad data, one building (way/309666268) that has multiple addresses, has only been tagged with one. I'll fix it.

This is another changeset, that contains bad data, in this case two buildings with the same address. One (way/309666268) was numbered 901, but a survey proved the correct address to be 909. I've fixed it, but it's all too common to find bad address data in your changesets.

Also, it'd be good to know the source of this data.

Unusual for Nepal, that is. The forest traces here are generally very well done, far better than India.

This looks like the name of a school, but is on a road. Can you please clarify if it is the name of a school or a road.

I'm wondering what the "Ezhammile Edakkad Thengamam Pazhakulam Road" (way/359734078) is based on. It is absent from the Bing and Esri imagery, and a note says it is absent from DGP images too. There is no GPS data available.

I'm putting up a note (note/1597839) recommending it be deleted, if more information is not available.

My edit 5 months ago seems to have mistakenly left two unclosed ways as part of the relation that contains pretty much all the wooded areas of North Pender. I think it had been rendering after that edit, but due to a technical change no longer was editing. My mistake caused no forests on N Pender to render. Sorry!

I think I've fixed the issue with this edit.

here (way/259486983/history) is an example of another building that contains multiple addresses, but only had one placed on the outline. I have not found any examples yet of any buildings with two or more addresses that you've done anything other than just put one address on the building outline.

This is an error, and one that is hard to find, so hard to fix.

Thanks for catching and fixing that.

This edit added a single addresses to many buildings. I think it is worth pointing out that most of the buildings had multiple addresses. I've fixed it for some of the buildings, but have yet to check the other buildings. In the case of one building it was just the wrong address.

As I've said before, it is good to provide us with the source for your addresses, as it allows us to be better informed as to the validity of the data.

I forgot to update the source tag on this changeset, and it should read `Esri World Imagery`

I see you're still not adding a source for these addresses. Please do so, if you have any questions please let me know.

It's worth adding the source when you upload the edits. For example you could be basing them on a survey, or on the City of Vancouver's address data. It's important not to take anything from google.

One of the reasons it's useful to add source info to the changeset, is that it allows other users to assess the accuracy of the data. This changeset had the addresses wrong for at least two buildings.

I've come across it before in this area, but always old edits like this one. I suspect you are right and this is no longer an issue.

Just a head's up for you Robert, this area is administered by India. The Pakistan hashtag is very political, and wouldn't go down well in India. If you're mapping in this area again, #Kashmir is an accurate, and non-controversial hashtag.

And keep in mind that "politics" in this area involves plenty of men with guns, unlike Europe or North America.

What do other people think? Should we wait until the name enters more common usage? Or at least is publicly posted?

This changeset edited one reservoir (way/58425053) that was covered, and also not in WA or OR, but in fact in BC.
This edit seems to have assumed that any reservoir that wasn't tagged as `covered=yes` was uncovered, but this is a bad assumption, as it may just not have been tagged yet. It also contains such a large amount of ways, that it seems likely to be an automated edit. As such, I'd like to know where it was discussed. prior to being done.

I've added a note on one of the things added by this edit, a seafood shop. It seems a very unlikely location for a retail establishment.

Here's the note, requesting more info:

The section of 10th between Kingsway and Watson St could use some more work, as there is what looks like an off-street bike path that should open soon.

That's really interesting, thanks for the info!
