Please don't blindly accept the recommendations from the editor to change the names of features.

The proper name, as in the one that goes in the `name`=* tag, should be in french in Quebec, regardless of what the editor tries to suggest

please don't blindly move the `place`=* tag to `border_type`=*, they require more nuance.

in quebec, there are no towns per say, only cities (ville).
And Quarters should most likely be borough, or neighbourghood according to its administrative status,

Bonjour,

SVP bien vouloir tagger la tension des lignes électriques.

Dans la grande majorité des cas, les lignes a 3 files c'est du 25000V, et a un fil c'est du 14400V

Vous pouvez aussi regarder la documentation dans le wiki:
osm.wiki/Power_networks/Canada/Qu%C3%A9bec

You can't use the interactive maps provided by cities as they are only meant for consultation only.
The data is the exclusive property of the municipalities

The border was imported using data from Stats Canada and Geobase, which was the only approved data source at the time.

Hi,
Can you please share the sources used in your changeset, and be more descriptive?

What exactly did you change to the municipal borders?
Where did you get the data from?

Yes, please revert the changes.
Thanks for your understanding

Hello,
Can you indicate whether you have the permission of the VdQ in order to use this data?

The osm license and CC-BY 4.0 that use the VdQ are not compatible.

Hello,
Thank you for trying to improe address and building footprints data.

The city's interactive map is not an approved source, as the data is for consultation only. It isn't meant to be reused elsewhere

While the city does publish some open data regarding addresses, its data is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 which is not compatible with osm, it needs an explicit permission with a waiver.

Could you add that to your change sets in the sources?

Yeah, sometimes the locations don't match exactly between the locality and the station sign. The actual station sign location should take precedence.
In cases where there is a locality that references the station sign or junction, it should be merged with the newly created railway site

Yep I see the signs. The main track end sign is something that can be mapped as well, though there isn't a defined railway tagging for signals or signs in Canada.
You can help out by adding your knowledge to osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Work_Rules_in_North_America#CROR

Just a reminder to not use Google Street View for OSM

Bonjour,
Pouvez vous indiquer si vous avez la permission de la VdQ afin d'utiliser ces données?

La license de osm et la CC-BY 4.0 q'utilise la VdQ ne sonts pas compatibles.

It seems as though in my last comment, I failed to mention `railway=site`

osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging#Other_operating_sites

If it's an actual junction, then `railway=junction`, if not `railway=site`

> The "designated timetable locations" fall into a category that doesn't quite fit with OSM's tagging scheme and I've noticed that using the "junction" tag is the convention that the community in North America seems to have settled into

It's a false convention. The tag `railway=junction` should only be used for actual junctions.

> With that being said, if you think there's a more appropriate designation for these that I may have overlooked, I'm willing to hear it.

I talked with other mappers and all agree that `railway=junction` is not the proper tag.
I concur that these aren't actual stations, and more designated locations/control points.

> It also has the bonus of making them show up more prominently on Open Railway Map, where the information is most desired.

That would be tagging for the renderer, since it's not the proper tagging being used.

> With respect to the node I added in Lorette, it's the precise location of the station name sign marking the designated location of Lorette at mile 152.4 of the Trois-Rivières subdivision, and is meant to be separate from the nearby "locality" node.

The locality node actually refers to the "station" if you check out it's entry in the Banque de noms de lieux du Québec, or even the Canadian Geographical Names Database.

A locality point can refer to a railway site/junction.

> These are the operating locations that appear in railway employee timetables, which are mostly private, though there are some public avenues to obtain this information

Are you able to provide the source? Because time tables aren't necessarilly approved sources to use as they are private and most likely copyrighted.

See osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging_in_North_America#Private_Data

---

The railway tagging is very euro-centric (in fact it's very much based on German practices as the original authors were German), and we mappers of North America have to untangle the differences in meanings and conventions.

Unless there is an actual junction, these should most likely be tagged as `railway=site`
osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging#Other_operating_sites

I suggest that you refer to osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging_in_North_America
osm.wiki/Canada/Railways

There are a good deal of railway mappers present in the OpenStreetMap US Slack https://slack.openstreetmap.us/

And as always, there is also the community forum where things can be discussed.

Hello, Thank you for your edits adding the `junction:ref` tag!

Could you please make sure to update the rest of the exit ramp when you edit tags for destination and `junction:ref` instead of only the first way that branches off

Bonjour, la communauté Québecoise désire utiliser les noms francophones pour les opérateurs.

changeset/170857543

Bonjour, merci de rajouter des données ferroviaires dans osm.

Il ne faut pas utiliser `railway=junction` pour tous les points désignés sauf s'il s'agit réellement d'une jonction ferroviaire. Voir osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging#Operating_site_types

Le point que tu as rajouter node/13078361864/
est déjà present par l'import de CanVec node/1201245967

Aussi, vous avez indiquer seulement Bing comme source, comment avez vous trouver ces noms? Il serait bien de l'indiquer

If your preferred language is English, that is no problem, I just assumed since some of your changeset comments are in french and you are editing in Quebec
