You changed it from Q12019148 to Q26763567
22025-06-20 08:38SafwatHalaby Similarly, both https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584351 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26762492 point to har Shokef, and you changed it from Q1584351 to Q26762492

True, this road is inside Knesset (Israel's parliament) and entering there requires permission. Thanks!

You marked the southern side of רוטשילד as private.

12025-04-01 12:57SafwatHalaby This changeset series removes buildings in Daliat el carmel, which I added back in 2017 based on armchair mapping.

even if the buildings are not 100% accurate or are out of date they add to the visulisation of maps created with data from OSM. that is not just noise.

The building mapping arbitrarily cuts off in nothern dalia and doesn't continue to Isfiya. I think this makes it less usable for calculations and misleading in visualizations.

As for navigation, I do try navigation via osmand / Organic maps. The building densi...

72025-03-18 20:14SafwatHalaby As for your question, as far as I know there's currently no automated way to properly handle translations. Especially for more distant languages or languages with less training data available.

You simply need a human who understands the context.

92025-03-18 20:25SafwatHalaby Another important point to consider is translation vs transliteration. For example, If we call this node "eye of the...", it would be a manufactured name and not a real one. It would be misleading since it's not a used name.

12018-01-07 23:27SafwatHalaby You changed "Rima" to "Prima" in English, but the name is still "rima" in other languages. Which one is correct?

In my opinion there should only be English and hebrew. The hotel does not advertise in other languages. i can confirm that the English name starts with a P, so in other languages it also should.

Both visually (It looks better with most fonts) and technically (Geresh and Gershayim does not break sentence or string).

BTW in some cases apostrophe is used twice instead of Gershayim which is wrong in too many levels :)
42017-11-28 14:49SafwatHalaby I see. I've sent you the proper contact address in a private message. Please note that the automatic bus stop update bot respects OSM user changes and will not override your edits, even if MOT refuse to change their database. So it is technically OK to create differences.

If you think that it will be better to revert the Gershayim changes I'm cool with that, I'll pay closer attention from now on and I won't make these changes up until MOT will change it, thanks!

Hi,

Why?
I've added the walk permission after the bridge was fixed.
32017-11-21 13:20SafwatHalaby access=no - No one is allowed.
bicycle=yes - bicycles are allowed
foot =yes - people are allowed.
.
Suggested tagging:
bridge=yes, highway=path
42017-11-21 13:21SafwatHalaby Please see: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access=no. "The access=no tag indicates that the road is not to be used by the general public"

Hi,

Thank you for your help.
Can you please tell me if you change them to highway=footway will the permission be for pedestrians only?
If so you can change is as you said.
52017-11-21 13:06SafwatHalaby Yes. highway=footway is for people only, highway=path is for people, bikes, and sometimes horses.

access=no means no one can access it.
62017-11-21 13:12SafwatHalaby Just to be clear: It appears you often use access=no, foot=yes, highway=path. These are confusing because access=no contradicts foot=yes. Although the Wiki may have some rules for such tagging, it is much simpler to use highway=footway.

It's wrong. There are active constructions there. I'll send you a photo if you want :-) See also https://www.efobus.com/ to see how distorted it is currently.
32017-11-08 11:28SafwatHalaby No need for a photo :), I was just making sure this was an intentional edit.

The bot is "change-friendly", it will not move back the stop, but I am investigating ways to report such problems to MOT. The inaccuracy is about 30-40 meters.

22017-10-24 22:00SafwatHalaby That was one example, but a significant number of your reverts do not remotely qualify as spam, and I think no one would have had any problem if an experienced mapper had added them.

42017-10-24 22:03SafwatHalaby For comparison, this is something I would flag as spam for the excessive ad tone, and I would justify its removal: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5135107648/history

12017-09-14 04:42SafwatHalaby Hello, thank you for taking your time and editing the map. I have some questions.

P.S. A few days ago I started a list of all Wikidata IDs that should always be used as brand:wikidata. Should we have this as a github repo for some script? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikidata%2BOSM_SPARQL_query_service#Current_Challenges
52017-09-16 07:30SafwatHalaby Specifically for israel: There's no need for an ID table or manually reversing your edits. Swiftfast_Bot maintains those chains, and all you have to do is edit the following templates.

This is awesome!!! I think we should adapt your bot to other places, e.g. US and Russia (the two places I know a bit better than others). Could you make your bot also track any entries that have the same wikidata ID as ones listed in the template, and update those places accordingly?
82017-09-17 06:06SafwatHalaby Thanks! I also think this should be adopted globally, but I still need to polish/simplify the code a bit first. The bot makes assumptions that are agreed upon only in Israel and there's special treatment for some tags like name/operator. Making it global requires a bit more work.

If you go to this url - http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1224150978/history - Click on the coordinates of the last changeset, then edit, then zoom in as much as possible. You will see that there is a village. Maybe "الدار" is a common name in arabic?
52017-07-25 19:07SafwatHalaby Unlikely. "الدار" means "the home". It's even less likely to have many villages bearing the same name right next to each other. (See my links, and those aren't all).
62017-07-25 19:09SafwatHalaby Indeed there's a village. I think it'd be best to rescan all removed villages and re-add them without the name at all, just place=village.
72017-07-25 19:09SafwatHalaby Thanks for pointing this out!
82017-07-25 19:12SafwatHalaby In your particular example, if you zoom out a little, you'll notice there are 2 villages with seemingly valid names. Perhaps they also cover that area and it's all good after removing "الدار".

112017-07-26 20:42SafwatHalaby This node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2621574419 is part of the way, and it had its name tag removed.
122017-07-26 20:58SafwatHalaby Method used for anyone curious: Downloaded nodes bearing "hot words" via JOSM+overpass, and manually inspected them.

the queries are often of the style node["name"~"hotWord"] or node["name:ar"~"hotWord"].
132017-07-26 20:59SafwatHalaby A time-consuming followup would be manually inspecting the edit history of each person who added a node that was deleted in this changeset. Looking for easy ways to script this.

If the 1949 armistice line is an historical line. Currently, it does not serve as an administrative boundary, not even a disputed boundary, because it was superseded by the Oslo agreements.

62017-07-24 05:22SafwatHalaby The reason I added a relation is to get it to render while avoiding adding "administrative" on the way itself. Do you have a better alternative?
72017-07-24 06:11zstadler
♦1,055
I think that the line should not be rendered.
82017-07-24 07:21SafwatHalaby Is there anything different about the left just west of it? If not, why should one of them render, and the other shouldn't?
92017-07-24 20:07zstadler
♦1,055
If you refer to http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/288825225, then it is a member of a (disputed) boundary=administrative admin_level=2 relation - http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1703814
102017-07-24 20:13SafwatHalaby I think you're missing my point: Both 294464667 and 288825225 are disputed. So, there isn't anything special about either of them, both should be rendered the same. But only the western one renders, because only the western one is part of the PL relation which is tagged administrative.
112017-07-24 20:15SafwatHalaby So I added this hack to make the Eastern one render. We have a very unique case a country (or pseudo-country if you will) has "two" borders. Putting them both in the PL relation is bad because it messes out outer/inner, so I had to do this hack.

A dispute can only be on a boundary claimed by some entity. No claim implies no dispute. Way 288825225 is part of the boundary claimed by Palestine and disputed by Israel.

Hi EzekielT,

Thank you very much for your mapping efforts. I don't see OSM as a place to map domestic itens like microwave, stools, televisions... if someone maps some itens inside another person residence it can even be a security matter.

best regards,

Thank you for your feedback :)!

I agree we shouldn't map privately owned things like microwaves; maybe only in a public situation? I'll try to propose the tags soon (for public things only).
32017-07-24 19:08SafwatHalaby Microwaves in public situations are very useful. Pretty common in campuses.

12017-07-11 16:24SafwatHalaby I removed "palestenian" from the name tag. Politics have no place in OSM, and the territories are marked by the various relations already.

Nice try, just admit that you removed ''Palestinian'' because you are Israeli, not because of OSM !
32017-07-11 19:18SafwatHalaby I don't care about politics.

If you look at my edit history, you'll see I make edits both ways. In fact I'm the one who renamed the second "Judea and Samaria" relation (an Israeli name) to "West Bank" (A Palestinian name) because it was objectively the right thi...

''objectively the right thing to do''
How ironic !!!!! if you and Israelis are truthful, your occupation will end and we'll be living in our own state peacefully.
unfortunately you are Untruthful.

32017-07-08 07:09SafwatHalaby Some of the nodes in this particular changeset have value. If you're reading this, consider re-adding them and tagging them properly, not as cafes.

Also, rather than tagging "north of X", "west of X", etc, you should tag the point where X is at. Thanks.

Hi Stefano Lucchesi,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your interest in contributing to the map is greatly appreciated. But I have observed you gave this pub you mapped the name `Backroom - Sexy Shop`. Name tag field is only for establishment official names and personal descriptions. May I know if this i...

12017-07-01 05:56SafwatHalaby You update "name" to "מרכז מסחרי כפר ורדים" but you forgot to update "name:he".

I know this is annoying, I plan to automate these updates in the future.
22017-07-01 05:58SafwatHalaby You have a parking node inside a polygon tagged with "area". If the entire area is a parking, you should simply put all the tags on the polygon and remove the center node.

12017-06-28 19:33SafwatHalaby Hi again, could you please take the time and review my comments?

1. Use right angles for buildings. (iD editor can do that for you, there's a button for right angles).

2. You are seriously over-splitting your changes, don't make a changeset (save) for each house.
