Ah I see, thanks! Best to specify "survey" in the source field when uploading the changeset then. (I had stumbled across this when checking for recent edits in the Thomastown area.)

Hello thommcg, could you provide context to this - "#EVupdates" doesn't tell me anything. If it is a project you're frequently working on, it might make sense to mention it on your profile page, or else provide more details (including what your data source is) in the changeset comment. Thanks!

Hello joshk1, I realize this is has been a while ago, but do you remember what source you used to add the track on the northern shore of the River Nore? Way IDs 265130323, 265130318, 265130315 and the two little bridges connecting them. I reckon you must have had other sources than just Bing, since (at least today's) Bing imagery is not sufficient to deduct the existence of a way and bridges! Reason I'm asking is that DWG had a complaint from a land owner saying this track didn't exist but I'm loathe to simply delete it without local knowledge.

Dear AmiFritz, this changeset has removed the population tag from all the place nodes that you have touched. But your changeset comment only talks about post codes. Was this an error?

I've started to revert these edits. It is likely to take a few days. Stuff that has been deleted will be brought back. Problems might arise where stuff from the import has been edited by other people since; we'll deal with them afterwards.

Hello ManonVi, I know you have not created this area but you were the last to edit so assuming you have some knowledge of the region - can you verify if this is indeed a residential area as per the definition on landuse=residential and potentially remove landuse=residential if this is not the case?

Please don't, I will ping the author again and if the matter cannot be settled, will run the revert myself.

Dear Jess Dibble, in this changeset you have damaged two streets in London (South Bank and Balmoral road), they're now zig-zagging through buildings! Please try and repair that or reach out to whoever is running the project you are participating in. Please also amend your OSM user profile to explain in which organised editing activity you participate and who is running them. Thank you!

Hello RunTrails, the "issues" and "warnings" shown by the editor are not something that you should try to "solve" at any cost. There are situations where these flags are unwarranted. Do not blindly "solve" issues that your editor (or any other QA system) claims to see.

Yeah, you started the discussion 10 hours after making the change, rather than two weeks before making the change. I am reverting this. I am not objecting to the change per se, just to the process.

Hello swimdb, in this changeset you have modified six streets and deleted a couple, yet your changeset comment is "buildings". Please, take a little more care to select appropriate changeset comments when adding data.

Also, out of interest, how do you pick these seemingly randomly locations across the US where you map? Is this prompted by some QA system?

Can you explain the source for the name:de tag?

Hallo da-sch, in diesem Changeset hast Du irrtümlich einige Multipolygone entfernt und dadurch mit Buschland überlapptes Wasser erzeugt (deutlich sichtbar z.B. hier osm.org/#map=17/5 … 3&layers=N) - bitte korrigiere diese Fehler und versuche, sie künftig zu vermeiden. Wenn da in dem Buschland gar kein Wasser mehr ist, dann kannst Du das Wasser ja löschen. Wenn da aber Wasser ist, dann war die vorherige Lösung mit dem Polygon-mit-Loch korrekt und muss wieder hergestellt werden.

Hallo da-sch, bitte versuche künftig, aussagekräftige Changeset-Kommentare zu verwenden (osm.wiki/DE:Good_changeset_comments). Der allgemeine Text "Straßen, Häuser, Flächen bearbeitet/hinzugefügt" passt auf so ziemlich jedes zweite Changeset in OSM (Häuser hast Du in diesem Changeset hier übrigens gar nicht bearbeitet). Der Wiki-Artikel erläutert, warum korrekte Changeset-Kommentare nützlich sind sind.

If nothing else is found I would use the international tagging or talk mailing lists but that would also invite lots of people not familiar with NZ sensitivities. There is a low-traffic talk-nz mailing list (lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-nz) - not sure if there are enough people on there to be a representative sample of NZ community but maybe worth starting there?

§114 OWiG war gemeint.

Ergänzend hierzu: Das gesamte Übungsgelände Dorbaum ist militärischer Sicherheitsberich und das Betreten ist für die Zivilbevölkerung dauerhaft verboten (anders als bei dem benachbarten Handorf Ost, das zu bestimmten Zeiten offen ist). Die Bundeswehr sagt, dass entsprechende Beschilderungen überall entlang der Grenze angebracht sind. Mountainbiker und Spaziergänger, die sich in dem Gebiet aufhalten, müssen mit einer Anzeige nach §144 OWiG rechnen. Unsere Grenze war nicht korrekt, einige Teile des Übungsgeländes fehlten bei uns. Ausserdem hatten wir munter einige Wege innerhalb des Geländes als mtb=yes oder foot=yes gekennzeichnet, was bei Benutzern natürlich den falschen Eindruck erweckt, dieses "mtb=yes" sei irgendwie stärker als "übrigens, alles Militärgelände". Ich hoffe, ich habe das jetzt alles korrigiert; bei manchen Wegen, die knapp am Rand des Geländes liegen, ist es denkbar, dass die uns übersandten Unterlagen vielleicht nicht 100% exakt sind und man da noch mit Ortskenntnis nachkorrigieren muss.

Hello, I noticed that you are creating very small landuse=residential areas that end whenever there is a street. This is not necessary. Streets are allowed inside a residential area. Example: relation/5254936
Also, please use good changeset comments (osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments). Thank you!

Привіт, я помітив, що ви створюєте дуже маленькі "landuse=residential" райони, які закінчуються, коли є вулиця. Це не потрібно. Вулиці дозволені всередині житлового району. Приклад: relation/5254936
Також, будь ласка, використовуйте хороші коментарі до набору змін (osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments). Дякую!

Then please try to constrain your editing sessions either by area or by a common theme, so that other users will be able to understand what you were editing without having to analyze the contents of the changeset. For example, an apt changeset comment for 98154844 would have been "ФанЕжа is a cafe not a health food shop", or 98063672 would have been "added access=private to facilities that are private according to <source>", 97793277 is "fix typo in cuisine". Actually, none of those changesets matches "just scrolling through satellite imagery and updating what's new and what's gone". If it is possible for me to study your changeset and come up with a good description, then it is possible for you. The difference is that if you do it, it has to be done just once, and if every mapper who encounters your edit does it, it has to be done dozens of times.
So please - proper changeset comments instead of childish protests against what is common practice for everyone else.
Thank you.

Dear aotearoa86, I notice that you've participated in quite a few back-and-forth editing wars over the "macron" in some names in New Zealand. Since this is a rather sensitive issue, it would be good if you could, in the future, give links to photos of actual signs when making the claim that a specific version of the name was the signposted spelling.
