File information request on my "talk page"

Hello,

please look at the the "file information page" and the comment there: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Wintec_wbt-202.jpg . All you ask for is there. May I ask why you ask?

entrance for emergency_ward_entrance

Hello, thanks for clarifying. You are more experienced than me, so may I ask - the wiki only says entrance=yes, but if I find a case where entrance=main is more appropriate, can I use it or is there a risk of breaking some applications like StreetComplete? Thanks --Pippo6 (talk) 16:00, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

@Pippo6: - I would not worry too much about breaking software and care primarily about correct data.

Links in Wikiapiary

Hi,

regarding https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/599#issuecomment-1066556164, you have to change the setting "Data" from "Pages" to something like "Page Queue". The setting is not reflected in the URL, thus you can not link to the plot directly.

I got the vector sources of the screenshot a long time ago from the author of the file at VIE to help with discovering the possibility to use OSM data internally by the VIE.

Removing a rendering example

Not sure why, but I just got a notification that you removed the "rendering in OpenSeaMap" example from this page:

Just wondering why you removed it? TheThe image is literally just text and a circle, I don't see how that could be a copyright violation. It's now confusing for anyone visiting the page, since the rendering example is empty...

Instead, maybe you could add this template? Template:PD-shape

Public domain icon

This image or logo only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough, and thus the image is considered to be in the public domain.

BTW, if you have by any chance replacement for that photo - and other in this category where replacement was not found then help is welcomed.

Graphic redesign of the Template:Information

Hello Mateusz Konieczny!

I've made a graphical redesign of the template for image description locally on the OSM wiki (Template:Information), notably in green color to distinguish it from the light purple of Commons (and thus to identify more easily the origin of the image).
What do you think about it?

Also, would you have a list of useful templates on image management that are on this wiki? (for example: a template to say that an image can be transferred to Commons or on the contrary a template to say that an image should not be transferred to Commons etc...)

Stone and rock

Please revisit the comments you have added for the distinction between rock and stone. It is a general distinction also made in English (and even if it wasn’t it did not matter a lot, because it is the definitions and descriptions that count, not natural language use). Strong distinction between rocks attached to bedrock and not attached to bedrock is present in German but not in English[1]. It is one more case of OSM tag design following German terminology. you added this sentence, based on someone’s comment in github who apparently wrote about things he doesn’t know well (he is German so he isn‘t a good reference for English language). Please conduct your own research. A stone is always loose, (unless the word is used to describe a material), it is describing a grain size, bigger than a cobble and smaller than a boulder. —Dieterdreist (talk) 08:01, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dieterdreist: - it appears to not be defining difference, see say https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stone https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rock If you have a better source that describes it as a defining difference the feel free to edit that page to improve it Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 09:02, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
e.g. https://geologywriter.com/blog/stories-in-stone-blog/rock-or-stone-is-there-a-difference/ Robert Thorson writes “Rock is raw material in situ. Stone usually connotes either human handling or human use, although it can also be used to describe naturally produced fragments of rock larger than a cobble.” I just searched the web for „rock or stone“. —-Dieterdreist (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
OK, so there is a difference in at least some specialist terminology which does not exist in a common language. This - as far as I know - is distinct from German where distinction is also in a common language. Feel free to add note that specialist English geology terminology has such distinction. Note that distinction is quite obscure, as indicated by your own link and in typical usage this terms are used interchangeably @Dieterdreist: Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 07:10, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

File source: Surface-Metal.jpg

You're asking this 12 years after the file was uploaded? Is there a new initiative to get all sources clarified?

Yes, it's my own photo, taken at Punchestown Racecourse in Kildare, Ireland, when the Oxegen festival was being set up. I'll update what I can in the file info. Hackery (talk) 22:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki#Designing_policy_for_handling_files_without_clear_license (BTW, feedback there would be welcome) - in general problem was ignored and it turns out that some people were really confused or just ignoring copyright.

File:HOT_Beginner_4.png

Hi Mateusz - youn left a message about a particular licence on an image from 2014 - (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:HOT_Beginner_4.png) - I can't remember now, but I must have thought it was the right thing to do at the time. The image was probably one I was using when I was trying to give feedback to another mapper - before the HOT Tasking Manager allowed the leaving of feedback. The system I was using seemed to work extremely well as far as the mappers was concerned, but was extremely labour intensive for me, and hence not particularly practical. I have very little to do with HOT or LearnOSM now - feel a little burnt out with the whole thing, and now enjoy mapping mainly after a survey. I still keep my server updating the translations from Transifex. Regards Nick (Tallguy)

@Tallguy: - are you expecting this old images still to be useful for some purpose? Or is it fine to delete them? Because it would be necessary to research what is their legal situation and fix copyright tagging to keep them (this appears only now, as for a long time copyright issues concerning images were almost completely ignored at OSM Wiki) Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 09:04, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
@Mateusz Konieczny: - deletion is fine - I'm away from home with limited internet access and time at the moment, but will do what I can to delete them. - Update - is it actually possible to delete it? - I've just tried and haven't worked out how. Is a licence change the correct course of action?

Side effect of changing all CC-BY templates

As a side effect of changes like https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Template:CC-BY-2.0&diff=0&oldid=2344973, all of those templates now appear in Category:Attribution not provided in CC license template which requires attribution.

Hi Mateusz, I uploaded an image directly from the article I am writing, but it did not asked me about the license. How can I correct this? I know you are working on this.

@Angoca:
Oh, not so bad. Then you need
{{ODbL OpenStreetMap}} and {{CC0-self}} + "I used a OSM background, but the rest I did from scratch" clarification
or {{ODbL OpenStreetMap}} and {{CC-BY-SA-4.0|Angoca}} + "I used a OSM background, but the rest I did from scratch" clarification
use CC0 if you want people to be able to use/modify it freely without worrying about complications such as to where one should put credit on poster or whether CC license materials are OK to post on Facebook and so on
use CC-BY-SA-4.0 if you want to demand that people credit you and you are willing to take legal action to enforce it. Personally for my photos and work like this I use CC0 as unlike for OSM editing and my programming projects I am not planning to take legal action, so making it easy for everyone seem better
Other licences are also possible, but for nearly all uses this two will be preferable for media

Your edit in historic=*

You added the sentence "Note that damaged remains and ruins are existing! Comparison of life cycle concepts offers one of ways to mark ruins and remains." to the top of historic=*. I don't think the sentence is wrong, but the same could be said about any other historic object. So I don't understand why this particular sentence should be on top of the paragraph. Can you explain?

Also, I'm not sure if you're implying that ruins should not be tagged as historical.

--Martianfreeloader (talk) 13:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

"could be said about any other historic object. So I don't understand why this particular sentence should be on top of the paragraph" I mentioned this exactly because it applies to historical objects. I added this as I added mention that nonexisting features are mapped only temporarily
"Also, I'm not sure if you're implying that ruins should not be tagged as historical." that was not my intention

Feel free to tweak it or even revert completely (with explanation in edit). @Martianfreeloader: Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 13:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

I feel like the first and (now) third sentence already fully cover this. The first sentence says features that still exist, while the third sentence says what to do if it doesn't exist anymore. Also, Comparison_of_life_cycle_concepts is now linked twice in consecutive sentences. So if you're ok, I'd just revert it. --Martianfreeloader (talk) 13:44, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Your edit https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:foot%3Dno&diff=next&oldid=2122127 changed the page from redirecting to the access page (which says "Access values describe legal permissions/restrictions and should follow ground truth; e.g., signage or legal ruling and not introduce guesswork. It does not describe common or typical use, even if signage is generally ignored. ") to saying "Access on foot or for pedestrians prohibited or impossible". It does mean prohibited; it does NOT mean impossible. SomeoneElse (talk) 23:42, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Street vendors‎

Not to beat a dead horse now that the amenity=street_vendor proposal is DOA, but you should really do a counter proposal for street_vendor=* so no one ever tries to revive tagging street vendors with an amenity tag. Your tag is clearly the better of the two options anyway. So please revive the proposal and put it up for a vote. I'm begging you, for the love of god, don't make us have to deal with that nonsense again. Do a proposal for street_vendor=* and put it to a vote. Pretty, pretty, please, do it.... --Adamant1 (talk) 11:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

@Adamant1: - well, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/street_vendor%3Dyes was intended as RFC-only proposal to avoid risk of getting "only" 79% support and getting "rejected" status. I hope that it will get additional confirmation from community by clear rejection of deprecation attempt Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 14:04, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
That makes sense. I guess it's a risk either way. It's not like having a tag approved does that much for it anyway, but getting one rejected can be pretty detrimental depending. That's one of the reasons I never took rental=* anywhere. The risk to benefit ratio of taking it to vote just didn't seem worth it. Especially since some of the alternatives have more usage. I feel like street_vendor=* is low enough on the food chain so to speak that it would probably be approved though. More so now that the alternatives clearly aren't viable. It's your call though. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

building:name=* has no valid reason for use

What about in cases where the name of a business is different from the name of the building that it is in? --Adamant1 (talk) 07:43, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Adamant1: Merging business and building is in general violation of One feature, one OSM element. Especially if both are named and so on. In such case proper fix is to represent business as a node/area in a building, rather than starting using weird prefixes. If building has no name or other conflicting attributes such merge is not very problematic (though for example iD has severe problems with it), but building:name=* is ridiculous workaround used instead of a proper soution Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 07:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Re: Proposal vote

I don't even know how to use this page, so, my apologies in advance.

Initially, my objective was to follow the whole Proposal process, and we, in fact, discussed the issue in the Discussion page of the proposal as well as in the old forums. Realistically, I wouldn't expect much more feedback, but I still think I can defend my proposal against anything they throw. Right now, I think it's already a de facto keytag used from Washington State to Guatemala City, and I could anticipate it to grow even more into Central America, maybe even South America, Canada and Europe. The thing is, after the old forums went cold, the Mexican community of OSM didn't show up in the new discussion space (Discourse?). Don't blame them, I contribute to OSM frequently but not constantly. The proposal is almost finished, at least the main part. The main_ingredient key, I think it's useful but maybe too long. I just haven't been able to make the time to finish the proposal process. So, whatever happens first, I guess.

More details about SC in notes are not related

Hi Matheusz

This part, "StreetComplete has support for splitting roads (for example, if surface changes road can be split in two), marking shops as vacant, tagging new POI that replaced shop, deleting no longer existing point POIs (unless they are part of way or relation)..." is not related to OSM notes. It can be considered as advertisement for this app.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes/Applications_using_notes

Currently, this application has the most text in the apps list for OSM notes, but the focus of this app is not around OSM notes; in fact, I consider notes as a secondary option. Please rewrite the whole description to be more concise, emphasizing only the part about notes.

The other application description is very punctual because SCEE performs the same thing around OSM notes.

Other applications, like OSMAND, have many options, but that list only explains the notes part. The same is true for Result maps.

Lastly, a link to the application wiki page is available in the first column, where the complete description will be. At this moment, only a small paragraph explains the SC OSM notes.

Why this "vandalism"? It would really help to put a *reason* in the changelog message! Jengelh (talk) 18:21, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

@Jengelh: in general we are not doing elaborate classification of images on this wiki by content, as far as I know. I would be happy to discuss it on Talk:Wiki. Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 04:04, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
@Jengelh: in general, vandalism is typically used for malicious damage, not "anything I disagree with or maybe done in well intentioned way but due to bad idea" Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 04:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

It is proposed to delete this page. But it will not be deleted if there is a link to this page, no ? So could you please remove the link to this page ? Yunan973 (talk) 22:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yunan973: Useless tag pages can be deleted while links remain. In this case it will be useful to show that link is red Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 06:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

licencja obrazków

Cześć. Wracam do starego wątku dotyczącego obrazków wrzuconych przez Marka Kleciaka. Poruszaliśmy ten temat prawie trzy lata temu. Napisałeś w dyskusji, że też do niego pisałeś. Czy ustaliliście jaką licencję można dodać do jego obrazków? Mnie napisał tylko "Każdy może używac bez ograniczeń wszystkich moich obrazków na wiki". Nie wiem czy to byłoby bardziej PD-self, CC0, WTFPL czy jeszcze inna licencja. Oczywiście nie wszystkie przesłane przez niego pliki są jego autorstwa, do screenów i map mógłbym dodać licencje, jeśli jeszcze ich nie mają i zostaną szkice budynków, których jest najwięcej. Dodanie licencji bardzo by zmniejszyło liczbę plików bez licencji na Wiki. Czy jak ustalimy jaka ma być licencja, to mógłbyś wtedy zapodać bota? maro21 16:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

@Maro21: główny problem jest to że niektóre z obrazków nie były jego a autorstwa innych ludzi, w tym jedno z już skasowanych plików był bazowany na czymśq po prostu w internecie znalezione Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 18:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Why did you remove my translation, which I worked on for a week?

Dear Mateusz, I noticed that you reverted the changes I made to the article about bicycles. I spent a considerable amount of time writing that content, and I was very pleased with the outcome. When I saw the revert, I felt quite disappointed and frustrated because I put a lot of effort into ensuring the information was accurate and comprehensive. I understand that you might have had concerns with a specific part of the text. Could you please share your perspective on what specifically didn't align with Wikis's guidelines or your understanding of the topic? I value collaboration and would appreciate the opportunity to address any issues and work together to improve the article. If you disagree with something, then please write your comments in the discussion of the given article instead of deleting my translation, which I worked on for several days. In the discussion, list the parts about which you have doubts, and we will certainly find a common solution. The update applies to the entire article, which in the previous version represented the state of 2013. I think your impulsive behavior of reverting the entire article is due to misunderstanding. Write what you don't understand and I will be happy to explain and discuss. However, without knowing what you mean, I can only guess, and I don't want to guess, because guessing doesn't lead to effective communication. It's easy to hit the "Undo edit" button, isn't it? And how would you feel if someone deleted your work, which you worked on for a long time? It's a bit different to correct one sentence, and a bit different to delete an entire article. I strongly disagree with such forcible action, for that I am in favor of discussion. I'm open to dialogue and would be happy to discuss this further so that we can work together to improve the Wiki. Thank you for your time and for your contributions to the Wiki. I look forward to hearing from you and finding a way to incorporate feedback constructively.

@Maro21: for start, description should not be misleading. Ideally formatting changes and controversial changes would be detangled and not mixed with each other. Mapping combined segregated cycleway-footway as two lines is highly controversial even in Poland, and it is regarded as even more dubious elsewhere. Removal of this info is not improving article Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 08:52, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Little off-topic about Wikimedia Commons

Dear Mateusz, You are also Wikimedia Commons contributor. c:File:Miss Canada Latina Ninela sanchez.jpg - watermark reads as "Jose Martinez", but Uploader named "Ninela Sanchez" - the same as model, so this photo seems be copyvio. I not have Wikimedia account, and You are more trusted on Commons then any new user. Thanks. Something B (talk) 21:41, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Reported as copyvio using standard template, now it is deleted. I think that for Commons they do not gatekeep reporting obvious copyvio and your report would be treated in the same way Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 17:26, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Incorrect item description

1) Found problem with item description, cause of discrepancy: Incorrect_item_description. The eng. description of this item was erroneously created by Oivo357 (see: first description). There are many such erroneous descriptions of him on OSM, then nonsense, errors and untruths creep in. Do you understand now? --HaPe-CZ (talk) 07:49, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
2) Moreover, Oivo357 made a revert without justification in the discussion. That is, he violated your request for an explanation. --HaPe-CZ (talk) 07:54, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
@HaPe-CZ: "Moreover, Oivo357 made a revert without justification in the discussion. That is, he violated your request for an explanation" can you link it? Is it different one that one they got blocked for already (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AOivo357 ) Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 08:43, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
The answer has been added: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wiki:Requests_for_administrator_attention#Edit_war_User%3AOivo357_and_User%3AHaPe-CZ.
Now it is possible to solve Item Q2082 ... https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item_talk:Q2082. --HaPe-CZ (talk) 09:37, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Error in description of Labels/Items in iD editor

In the Czech version of the iD editor there is one text label description for two Items. Concretely Item amenity=fuel (Q4716) and Item man_made=fuel_pump (Q16807). In the iD editor and in the Czech translation of the label, both items have the same description.
Item Q4716 has the correct description amenity=fuel and label in iD editor: “Čerpací stanice”, that's Ok.
Item Q16807 has the correct description man_made=fuel_pump but the label in the iD editor, “Čerpací stanice”, is wrong (same as the previous one).
Item Q16807 should have the (correct) label “Čerpací stojan” in the iD editor.
Who translates these labels or where can this error be corrected? Thank you for your help. HaPe-CZ (talk)

This is not a wiki article or wiki data item issue. This needs to be done in the iD editor translation. --MalgiK (talk) 07:31, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
It seems the provided link (https://www.transifex.com/openstreetmap/id-editor) on iD editor translation doesn't work, maybe try instead this: https://explore.transifex.com/openstreetmap/id-editor --MalgiK (talk) 07:47, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
