No idea what the fixme tag is about.

All I was doing was running through tagging errors highlighted by iD and sorting them out where its suggestions were appropriate.

In that case it was getting rid of the block capitals in the fixme tag that was the minor error which was sorted out by the changeset.

This is NOT a motorway. It is a test track.

Please reverse this edit.

No it isn't. It's a very useful editor for doing a great many things. For example its GeoJSON functionality allows conflation to be done a lot more easily than many other editors.

I use it a great deal myself.

Except that I have no idea if species=palm is actually in that taxonomic family. It's a worthless tag in that respect.

For example in the UK we commonly have Trachycarpus fortunei and Cordyline australis described as palms. Yet only Trachycarpus fortunei is in that taxonomic family.

Similarly sycamore. Does it refer to Acer pseudoplatanus or Platanus occidentalis? Could be either and thus again is largely useless as a tag value.

Quite sure. Sorbus aria is a taxonomically outdated synonym of Aria edulis.

Sorbus is a taxonomic mess that has been considerably revised over the last decade.

"You must not delete the work of other contributors."

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

I did NOT "delete" the work of other contributors. I replaced it with better tagging. To quote the wiki:

"The following closed ways should be treated as linear features:

* "barrier=*, for thicker hedges or walls or detailed mapping defined using an area add area=yes
* "highway=*, see 'Highway areas' below for more details"

Those highway=footway and area=yes tags have highway=footway lines within them.

area:highway=*

That tagging which I correctly used is describing the shape of a pavement area. The linear highway=footway ways through the area tagged with area:highway are the ones used for routing.

The combination that you want to use occurs 456,857 times, whereas area:highway is used 349,749 times.

So get off your high horse and actually look at tagging use reality instead.

Easy. That's the correct Latin binomial for it. Sorbus aria is an outdated binomial name for Aria edulis.

Technically yes.

However it's correct, even if a bit redundant. It's certainly better than Quercus n. sp. which means a botanically undescribed species of the quercus genus which is a tad unlikely next to the Peripherique in Paris!!!

Le problème ? Platanus n'est pas une espèce. C'est un genre. Le genre est le niveau supérieur à l'espèce. Il existe de nombreuses espèces chez Platanus. Par exemple, Platanus orientalis et Platanus occidentalis. En français, Platane d’Orient et Platane d’Occident.

Il s'agit d'espèces d'arbres différentes mais toutes deux font partie du genre Platanus.

Pour Plantane il est correct d'utiliser genus:wikipedia:fr.

They mostly are and I intended them to be. Looks like some escaped being sorted out. I will remedy this.

Except that those central pedestrian refuges are large enough to mean that it should be recorded as two carriageways for the distance through the Place des Ternes.

Why do you think I altered it in the first place?

Oh and the give way on node/12532433232 now makes absolutely no sense with the way you left it. You've also managed to get Avenue des Ternes crossing a pedestrian refuge without a corresponding pedestrian crossing node.

I likely would have picked it up with Osmose in any case, but yes it can trivially be resolved. Tilia cordata as a species has Tilia as a genus. That's why Osmose has picked up the problem.

The fault is not my edit. The fault is the current genus tag of Malvales nothing of the sort. Malvales is actually an order rather than a genus. Very much higher up the taxonomic tree.

Simple. No such thing as the combination of Acer and hippocastanum. It was nonsensical information and it was not at all clear what the correct combination should be.

Aesculus hippocastanum as you have added on the other hand is a valid combination and useful information.

160885794 12 months ago

D'accord.

Mais l'espece Platanus × hispanica, ou Platanus hispanica est un platane. Vous avez crée cette point avec species=Platanus hispanica.

Pretty sure that's where I got it from: bylaws made by the local council that run the park.

Too late. I'd already updated to the alpha by the time you posted that comment. I'll have a hunt around using Overpass and see if I can get rid of those buggy tags.

Where on earth did this come from?

It is NOT a roundabout. It is a signal-controlled crossroads junction.

As has been said before, OSM is NOT an appropriate place to put short-term closures of roads. Beyond that this edit is based on a source of One.Network, which so far as I am aware does not have a licence which is compatible with OSM. So the edit is bad on two points, not just one.

Oh definitely a typo. Good catch.

I'll fix it after finishing this reply.

This edit is utterly wrong. Canal towpaths are NOT "designated" for cyclists. Designated means a legal right from public law to do something. A Traffic Regulation Order in the UK. That is not what the Canal and River Trust allows on its towpaths.

Cyclists are allowed on the towpaths through the permission of the Canal and River Trust only. That is a permissive tagging situation. Hence the previous, correct tagging.

Please reverse this changeset.
