Two corrections:

1. I was mistaken when I spoke of highway=driveway2 above, of course it is service=driveway2 and the fact that this is not known to most of software will make these highways look MORE prominent than a standard driveway. One wonders why e.g. way/1087949999 does need to be more prominent than a standard driveway.

2. It might have made sense to, instead of just deleting service=driveway2, convert it into service=driveway. Those are the things that only a proper discussion can decide.

I think that using "highway=driveway2" is a very bad idea - it is a bad choice of tags, and it will mean that the information is lost to 95% of software which simply ignores this unknown and esoteric highway category. I would never use it, and if I came across it on an object I was editing for some other reason, I would certainly change it to something different.

I am pretty sure that, were a proper discussion held on the tagging or talk mailing lists, an agreement could be found to automatically convert this tag like user ZeLoneWolf has done here.

However, quoting a one-year-old statement from me does *not* constitute proper discussion as required by the mechanical edit guidelines.

Therefore, @ZeLoneWolf, please revert your edit, and seek community consensus for this. Then you may make the change again. Being in the business as long as you are, one would hope that you know the rules by now!

I am reverting this changeset because under the innocent label "Redesigned West Imio" you have actually entrenched Greek nationalist viewpoints by removing Turkish names. You are allowed to change the geometry of these islands but you are not allowed to use OSM to push one-sided political viewpoints.

It appears that it is fixed now, and it was only a slow rendering issue. Sorry.

The area of this changeset is a jumble of erroneous multi-lane highways. This needs to be repaired. Is this something that you can do yourself? Otherwise we might have to revert your recent lane edits.

Hello GermanDeaf, please provide accurate changeset descriptions. The changeset comment field should be used to describe what you have done (and why). The date when the changeset was uploaded is already recorded automatically, hence "Map Miércoles, 24 de agosto de 2022" is not useful.

Please note that this vandalism changeset was created not by the long-time OSM user "archie" but by someone trying to tarnish their reputation by impersonating him with UTF-8 trickery. The variant of "archie" that has performed the vandalism has been blocked.

Hello Andrey,

you have accidentally added a "mapillary" tag to this node which contains unrelated text. Please clean this up, and try to avoid such mistakes in the future.

Thank you

+1 to Allison's comment - there is no blanket OK for adding MS builiding footprints, especially not without QA.

Can you explain the glaring tracing mistakes in http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/broken-import.png ?

Hängen die Schilder schon? Sonst bitte so lange den alten Namen lassen.

Dear Santanaloba53, please adhere to correct capitalisation when specifying place nams. I am pretty sure that initial capital letters are used in Spanish (i.e. Charco de Palomas, not carcho de palomas)! Please also specify your data source when adding place names. You have recorded this as a "village", however I can only see trees on the aerial image. Is this a mistake?

Hello Santanaloba53, it appears that you have difficulties in editing boundaries. You have created a relation relation/7394873 which is not a proper polygon, and which contains the same ways four or five times. Please, before trying to make further edits to any boundaries in OSM, find someone who can explain to you how to do this properly. Currently you are damaging existing data and other mappers have to repair it again!

Hallo martinst, der Maximiliansweg, den Du hier erfasst hast, war gerade Gegenstand eines kleinen "Edit wars" wegen seiner Gefährlichkeit. Eventuell kannst Du zur Forumsdiskussion in https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=869200 etwas Erhellendes beitragen?

Hallo, ich habe das Thema jetzt mal im OSM-Forum zur sprache gebracht und bitte alle Beteiligten, von weiteren Bearbeitungen abzusehen, bis wir dort einen Konsens gefunden haben: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=869200

Please link to a prior discussion of this mechanical edit (which is required as per our mechanical editing guidelines).

The DWG has become aware of this discussion and we have advised the CAI that way reference numbers should not be added to name tags (or alt_name tags for that matter). Still we would like to ask everyone to remain polite and patient with them - the CAI can certainly make valuable contributions to OSM and we should encourage that. I have pointed them to the waymarkedtrails.org website where trails are marked with the ref number taken from the relation.

skyper hat recht - es geht nicht, dass ein Daten-Nutzer an OSM Veränderungen vornimmt, die OSM nicht nutzen - eher schaden, weil die Bearbeitung eines stark aufgesplitteten Wegenetzes schwieriger ist - nur damit seine Arbeitsweise dann besser funktioniert. Wenn das jeder machen würde, der OSM-Daten irgendwie weiterverarbeitet, könnten wir uns vor unsinnigen Änderungen kaum noch retten! Du (obk-theo07) musst einen Weg finden, die gewünschten Aufteilungen ausserhalb von OSM vorzunehmen.

If the dev API is not working, then this is not sufficient excuse to upload test edits to the main API.
