Hallo Helmchen42,

mit diesem Changeset wurden in Tremersdorf zwei Salinen hinzugefügt, was unwahrscheinlich ist und auf der Karte auch fragwürdig aussieht. Kann es sich hierbei um einen Fehler handeln?

Hätte es niemandem übel genommen, spätestens vor zwei Monaten selbst die Sache in die Hand zu nehmen - ist jetzt erledigt.

Was sollen die häufigen, inkonsistenten Änderungen der Veloroute 10 bezwecken?
Es ist keine Straße sondern im Mittelteil teils Radweg teils Fahrradstraße.

Die Veloroute 10 ist auf keinen Teilstück ein Radweg.
Mir war nicht bewusst, dass ich irgendwo ein railway=razed gelöscht habe.
Den Überweg Hasseldieksdammer Weg hatte ich falsch als reinen Radfahrerüberweg in Erinnerung.

Straßenbegleitende Fuß- und Radwege sollten nur dann separat erfasst werden, wenn diese getrennt von der Fahrbahn verlaufen. An großen Teilen gibt es keinen Radweg mehr sondern nur noch eine Radspur.

I'm curious, do you mean for https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/44632030 to be underground?
22020-12-09 09:46Helmchen42 nah, the level tag is superfluous I think, it was already there when the way's version #1 got created 11 years ago. I just didn't notice it else I would probably have deleted it.

Please explain me why you added the tag multipolygon = river_basn! I do not find any information in the wiki.
22020-06-29 15:04Helmchen42 Yes, its not in the wiki.
Why? Without any such a tag it is not possible to easily search for this group of polygons by taginfo or overpass. So it was just wrapping the tag to the preexisting relations and hoping it sticks.

Adding to Heinz_V's point, everything is documented here (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India/Rivers). Adding multipolygon=river_basn is not making any sense here. If I consider your point that community members should get it through the overpass or taginfo, mappers will look for "ri...

Are some of these buildings meant to be completely untagged? From the imagery they appear to be houses so I’ve been updating them with that tag, but if you are holding off in tagging them for some reason let me know and I won’t update any more of these.
22020-03-16 07:46Helmchen42 My modus operandi is switching between the "b" tool for simple building shapes and the usual line tool for more complex buildings.
As the former adds building tags automatically it does happen that I forget adding the tags for the latter, usually the JOSM validator warns about those case...

Not a forest, that's where there is logging activity and the natural reserves are certainly not that. There are no tagged forests at UCSC.

Right, I know you didn't want to change forest, but you said "forest as a whole" (in your text above). It is crucial that we understand that in OSM, "forest" means "logged land." The campus and parks are not that.

However, they are wooded and then we begin the...

I disagree, various paths that were used in these relations are pretty far from being usable.

The label itself doesn't show the extent of the city at all, one might use the mapped streets to get a grasp, but that might also be misleading (weak example, south west of Ashgabat ;))
