| 139181328 | over 2 years ago | Check e.g. osm.wiki/Limitations_on_mapping_private_information Note that this particular case is not mentioned here, but things that are listed there as not allowed are much less problematic according to law. |
| 139181328 | over 2 years ago | The ethnicity of people is considered as private information that needs special protection by law in many places, e.g. by GPDR and CCPA. Having this kind of information in an open database would make use of OSM almost impossible in these areas. I also remember several discussions with the result that a geo-database lime OSM is not the right place for this kind of information. |

| 138026642 | over 2 years ago | May I suggest to discuss these fundamental questions about the definition of the surface tag in the forums or mailing lists? A changeset discussion is not the right place for that. |

Regarding the official coordinates, you might find something in the various discussions and proposals around survey point tagging. |

| 138026642 | over 2 years ago | It's just not possible to inform each and every user whose tags I change. In this changeset alone this would mean to check 14 objects for their history to figure out who added which tag in which changeset I have to leave a comment on. "compacted:material" won't solve the issue - the actual surface material will be hidden for all tools that are not aware of your new and undocumented tag.
Key:surface explicitly allows for custom values, and this is in use in various states and countries. |
| 138026642 | over 2 years ago | 'crushed_limestone' is among the 70th most common surface values. It's better to use this value directly in the surface tag compared to inventing a new key that no common tool knows about. |

|
| 138753504 | over 2 years ago | Tags with several values are a well-supported feature in OSM. The recommended syntax is to have a semicolon-separated list. Your proposal of adding number to keys is not a generally accepted scheme. I only know of few tags for which this is an official scheme, e.g. 'seamark' and 'inscription' in cases the 255 characters of the value are not sufficient. Which "tools" don't understand semicolon-separated values in additional tags? As this is a major feature of many tags I'd argue that these tools are broken and need to be fixed. Coming back to 'wikidata': There are 0 tags with a :N suffix in the database, but two dozen with several semicolon-separated values.

There's a page in the Wiki detailing the most common order in keys: osm.wiki/Order_of_key_parts |
| 138588644 | over 2 years ago | Please improve your QA procedures. I'm fixing spelling mistakes in keys added by Kaart employees every few days!

| 138644408 | over 2 years ago | Hi,
Could you have a look and fix this? |

| 138611663 | over 2 years ago | The key is "health_specialty:xxx". (Note the missing 'i' in specialty!) This variant is already in use many times:
