Weekly roundup of edits

Posted by nammala on 19 August 2016 in English.

Here are a few observations from the OpenStreetMap edits between 8 August - 19 August. Most of these helped us understand common mapping issues faced by the new mappers.

  • Added untagged nodes 1, 2. These were reverted by the community.
  • Added nodes with numbers as names 1. Reverted by community.
  • Bad imports of data 1. Reverted by commuinty.
  • Deleted https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway=riverbank , https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural=water tags and stream 1, 2, 3 respectively. Asked for clarification.
  • Deleted building 1. Asked for clarification.
  • Deleted https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=service roads inside the park 1. Asked for clarification.

It is always good to let the user know of such issues and encourage them to do active and quality contributions to OpenStreetMap.

Looking forward to another roundup next week. Happy Mapping.
