167019145 by mdonmap @ 2025-05-31 16:09 Active block	1	2025-06-04 15:43	Undearius	Hello, I'd like to point you to the local tagging guide for Canada and the guideline for abbreviations in OSM. The "St. " in St. John's in fact correct and not to be expanded. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada/Tagging_guidelines#Municipality_Names https://wiki.ope...
45420063 by Undearius @ 2017-01-24 04:09	1	2024-02-26 16:35	algot ♦48	Hello I noticed that you created a multi-polygon with grass tag in one neighborhood (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6905066). What was the point of that? I just wondered why this area looks different than all other areas.
	2	2024-02-26 17:42	Undearius	>What was the point of that? This area is covered in grass. I hindsight, the appropriate tag would be surface=grass but this was from a time when I was new to OSM. >why this area looks different than all other areas I didn't want to commit to adding this level of detail to the entire...
	3	2024-02-26 18:02	algot ♦48	According to the wiki, this tag should be used for "A tag for a smaller areas of mown and managed grass for example in the middle of a roundabout, verges beside a road or in the middle of a dual carriageway." We should avoid using it for an entire neighborhood. Would it be acceptable ...
	4	2024-03-01 17:57	Undearius	It's up to you, I have no strong feelings either way.
123492651 by Cubical @ 2022-07-11 21:35	1	2022-12-22 03:19	Undearius	Just a note that the realigned Greenbank road has not even completed the design phase and will not start construction for another 6 years. https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-engagement/projects/greenbank-realignment-and-southwest-transitway-extension#section-0a1f50ea-7598-4ad7-94f3-094038214a4...

68187844 by Undearius @ 2019-03-15 19:51	1	2019-03-16 04:22	DannyMcD ♦101	This is a great change. It is much better to have a different building tag for portables then for other school buildings. Good work.
	2	2019-03-16 16:17	Undearius	Thanks. It's been a long standing issue for me because they aren't really sheds, and they aren't really schools, so it didn't seem like they had an appropriate tag for their use. I also figured that most people (at least in this part of the world) call them "portables" ...
	3	2019-03-16 16:19	Undearius	I've also only added this tag to the portables for the Ottawa public school board. Feel free to help with the other boards or other districts.
60992148 by Undearius @ 2018-07-23 15:54	1	2018-08-01 16:17	Matthew Darwin ♦204	is contruction:highway=* a new way of doing construction tags? I always do 2 tags: construction=highway, highway=*
	2	2018-08-01 16:17	Matthew Darwin ♦204	osm.org doesn't render your tags
	3	2018-08-20 12:18	Undearius	I find using this method to be easier to edit afterward. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix The construction is mostly done in this area, so it was as simple as removing the "construction:" prefix.
58652064 by Undearius @ 2018-05-03 15:53	1	2018-05-04 13:20	Matthew Darwin ♦204	Seems confused on w537538738 name=Pet Valu name:en=MotionWorks Physiotherapy These things don't match.
	2	2018-05-04 13:50	Undearius	I tried to update this in OsmAnd, but they don't support modifying tags on polygons. Maps.me was a little too user friendly and didn't allow me to change the "category" from pet shop. Apparently you can only add the `name:en` tag instead of changing the `name` value. This is cu...
58136549 by Undearius @ 2018-04-16 12:31	1	2018-04-16 14:03	Matthew Darwin ♦204	Hi... could you add the addr:street name in there as well? n5556533295, n5556548279, n2295876276, n5556548278, n5556548277
	2	2018-04-16 14:10	Undearius	Will do. Was just getting them in quick and am going to split the footprint and merge them. Currently out on the road but will have time in the afternoon.
	3	2018-04-16 14:11	Matthew Darwin ♦204	ok. My error checker is overly efficient. :-)
56737766 by Undearius @ 2018-02-27 22:52	1	2018-04-10 02:53	Matthew Darwin ♦204	Hi. You flagged w564836824 as both a bridge and a tunnel? Seems suspicious?
	2	2018-04-10 03:27	Undearius	Maybe I got a little too focused on it being an enclosed walkway, like a tunnel. Corrected now.
57585007 by Undearius @ 2018-03-28 01:14	1	2018-03-29 16:16	DannyMcD ♦101	Hi Undearius, I'm not sure I like these proposed buildings being tagged as building=proposed - maybe proposed:building = retail would be better? They show up now (in Mapnik+probably OSMAnd?) as normal buildings. which is confusing, since they aren't actually there. DannyMcD
	2	2018-03-29 16:38	Undearius	I'll have to agree with you. I was mimicking the tagging for proposed roads and road/buildings under construction . I believe the`proposed:building` style is part of the lifecycle tagging scheme(?). If so, then that's a good recommendation. Also easier to remove the 'proposed:' o...
56709416 by Undearius @ 2018-02-27 04:10	1	2018-03-11 04:18	RollTideRoll_asdfjkll ♦30	Thank you for getting this relation issue fixed! I tried a couple of times to fix it so that the Eglin AFB military zone appears on the map after it randomly disappeared but now its back!
	2	2018-03-12 03:37	Undearius	One of the ways in the relation was actually for the other Eglin AFB relation, I believe it was near Shalimar Elementary school. I removed it and added a proper connected way. Keep up the good work with the building footprints, looks great!
55616688 by Undearius @ 2018-01-21 00:27	1	2018-02-26 15:02	Matthew Darwin ♦204	It seems strange to me that all of w554577671 is Apple Saddlery? Maybe it is part of that area?
	2	2018-02-26 15:29	Undearius	That's possible. I was basing this off the imagery and the only available POI within that area. It seemed like there was a house in the middle of this area, but the fence along the left threw me off. I am not familiar with the area so if you, or anyone, has a better recommendation I suggest g...
	3	2018-02-26 22:43	Matthew Darwin ♦204	ok, changed.
54446263 by Undearius @ 2017-12-08 00:29	1	2017-12-08 00:30	Undearius	Accidentally clicked "request review edit" No need to actually review this.
51767503 by Undearius @ 2017-09-06 03:11	1	2017-09-06 12:56	Matthew Darwin ♦204	Why did you change Spartina Street into a path in Findlay Creek area?
	2	2017-09-07 14:53	Matthew Darwin ♦204	I put the street back.
	3	2017-09-15 03:45	Undearius	Might have been from JOSM automatically extending the existing way when adding a new way that connects to it. Thanks for fixing it.
50760874 by Undearius @ 2017-08-01 18:32	1	2017-08-09 07:00	mueschel ♦6,570	Hi, you used the key 'namleg_en' on several boundaries. This key is new and not used in other places. Maybe the usual tags 'official_name', 'official_name:en' or 'full_name' fit? Cheers, Jan
	2	2017-08-09 14:33	Undearius	My apologies. I had originally intended to remove these tags but they made it easier for filtering. The value of these tags is their full, proper legal name so they may be useful. The 'namleg_en' tag is the same as the 'name' tag with the addition of "Township of" or &...
	3	2017-08-10 17:15	mueschel ♦6,570	'official_name:en' is used almost 2000 times, and follows the guidelines shown on the Wiki page on name tags. Thanks for taking care!
	4	2017-08-14 19:53	Undearius	I've changed the tags to the correct ones. Thank you for the help.
50928516 by Undearius @ 2017-08-07 21:25	1	2017-08-11 16:40	kartler175 ♦556	Was moving nodes https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/724700137 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/724656526 as part of way https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/58461871 intended? /http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=areas&lon=-78.14418&lat=45.11648&zoom=11&opacity=1.00)
	2	2017-08-14 19:45	Undearius	Honestly, no idea how that even happened. I believe I've corrected it. Thanks for pointing that out.
49875811 by Undearius @ 2017-06-27 23:28	1	2017-06-28 07:38	mueschel ♦6,570	Hi, you added the key "dbh" on these nodes. It is not used anywhere else up to now - what is meaning of this key?
	2	2017-07-07 17:42	Undearius	I suppose late is better than never. DBH is Diameter at Breast Height. It was part of an ongoing discussion on the import mailing list and has since been converted to circumference. These nodes will be deleted and replaced with the proper ones.
45011980 by DenisCarriere @ 2017-01-08 21:07	1	2017-01-08 21:59	Undearius	Where these nodes added by accident?
	2	2017-01-09 07:37	DenisCarriere ♦31	Oops yes they were, good catch
42328668 by Undearius @ 2016-09-21 16:43	1	2017-01-08 21:08	DenisCarriere ♦31	@undearius where is the main road for this? Also I clipped the wooded area so that the school ground doesn't show up as forest.
	2	2017-01-08 21:52	Undearius	There's a service road that comes from the intersection. I've now added it but I'm just going off memory of where it goes.
41627161 by Undearius @ 2016-08-23 00:31	1	2016-09-04 21:40	DenisCarriere ♦31	Cool stuff Undearius. Do you have a live example of Indoor mapping? It would be neat to see the result of this data used in a real world example. Keep mapping :)
	2	2016-09-04 21:50	DenisCarriere ♦31	One comment about the tagging, the doors should be `door=yes` instead of `indoor=door`. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/6/63/Indoor2.0_elements.svg http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_Indoor_Tagging
	3	2016-09-08 22:26	Undearius	Thanks for the correction, must've missed it while reading that page. If I'm understanding you correctly, you may be interested in seeing the indoor map of the building. http://openlevelup.net/?lat=45.348361&lon=-75.755665&z=19&t=0&lvl=0&tcd=1&urd=0&bdg=0&p...
	4	2016-09-08 22:59	DenisCarriere ♦31	Yes this is exactly what I was looking for! :) That's awesome!! Keep up the cool work! I use to go to school there in the T building. Looking forward to see all the floors, I know it's a real challenge doing indoor mapping. Cheers,
	5	2016-09-08 23:19	DenisCarriere ♦31	We have a pretty active OSM community in Ottawa, you should try to attend one of our Meetups. https://www.meetup.com/openstreetmap-ottawa/
