63179268 by Rhubarb	1	2018-10-14 05:50:53 UTC	aharvey	Glad to see that City of Melbourne imagery being used. For the toilets to the west, if that whole building is toilets you can drop the node and just add all the tags on the way.
	2	2018-10-14 08:15:20 UTC	Rhubarb	Cheers :) The building in the west seems to be a club house (didn't note it on my last survey of the place). Though it does have toilets accessible to the public out of hours. Also, City of Melbourne imagery is awesome!!! :D

63214905 by melisramer	1	2018-10-14 05:44:34 UTC	aharvey	Could you please specify which dataset from services.land.vic.gov.au you're using?

63323038 by AndreThib	1	2018-10-14 05:43:51 UTC	aharvey	Could you please specify which services.land.vic.gov.au dataset you're using?

63339774 by xujiayi_1256	1	2018-10-14 05:30:35 UTC	aharvey	Could you reference which dataset is being used for the names? There are many different datasets on services.land.vic.gov.au, eg. Vicmap Addresses or Vicmap Transport
	2	2018-10-14 05:42:44 UTC	aharvey	For https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/286898692 what's the reason for removing service=laneway?

63228263 by David Dean	1	2018-10-10 00:32:06 UTC	Warin61	Hi, When you add a sporting pitch, add the sport that is played there. If more than one then sport=cricket;rugby for example. I have added a few sports here. Bound to be some I have missed.
	2	2018-10-10 03:28:51 UTC	David Dean	I'm happy to leave that up to other mappers, or do it on the ground when StreetComplete asks me. Having a pitch marked with no sport is better that no pitch marked at all.
	3	2018-10-11 05:09:49 UTC	aharvey	> Having a pitch marked with no sport is better that no pitch marked at all. +1

63376020 by peteb478	1	2018-10-11 05:05:15 UTC	aharvey	I've removed the name see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things

63360846 by Grace Perkins	1	2018-10-10 02:36:13 UTC	aharvey	Does "Body Mind Life Redfern" take up the whole building, if it's only part of the building, it's probably best to add it separately as a node.

63362089 by Grace Perkins	1	2018-10-10 02:15:09 UTC	aharvey	Hi, Just a few tips, if a feature already exists in OSM why do you need to add a duplicate? Is this for a school assignment? I've deleted the duplicate parks. Also see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Dterrace that's the right tag for an outline of a series of terrace houses d...

54098845 by aaronsta	1	2018-10-09 11:02:36 UTC	aharvey	Where did you source those LGA boundary geometries from?

63247679 by icefz	1	2018-10-06 04:39:54 UTC	nevw	Hi you appear to have damaged parts of the map. https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=63247679 Are you able to correct it or should I revert your edit?
	2	2018-10-07 06:23:29 UTC	aharvey	@nevw I went ahead and reverted as it does look wrong and the longer we leave it in place the more mess it can cause if others start editing on top of this.
	3	2018-10-07 07:17:37 UTC	nevw	Thanks

63242073 by xujiayi_1256	1	2018-10-06 01:39:11 UTC	aharvey	See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Roundabouts the accepted practice in Australia is to always draw out the roundabout in full. If you want to discuss this please open a discussion on https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/
	2	2018-10-06 01:55:24 UTC	xujiayi_1256	Thank you for the tip! I have reverted the changeset and please let me know if there's any other issues.

63223054 by Misa_zumba	1	2018-10-06 01:31:04 UTC	aharvey	Actually the road name someone had surveyed was correct for the northern part. I've fixed this up.
	2	2018-10-06 19:05:43 UTC	Misa_zumba	Thank you aharvey.

63227028 by Misa_zumba	1	2018-10-06 01:00:19 UTC	aharvey	Actually it's Alice Court on the LPI Base map, I've changed it to match that.

63213932 by CAM4444	1	2018-10-05 06:58:23 UTC	aharvey	I've changed this to office=association https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aoffice%3Dassociation

63213637 by CAM4444	1	2018-10-05 06:54:54 UTC	aharvey	I've added the primary tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aoffice%3Dassociation and move the tags to an area across the whole site to ensure we have just one OSM element https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#One_feature.2C_one_OSM_element

63183139 by Warin61	1	2018-10-04 12:05:27 UTC	aharvey	Hey Warin, the mine you added from the LPI Base Map already exists in OSM from a more accurate survey at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2057044065 so I've deleted the one you added.
	2	2018-10-04 12:09:51 UTC	aharvey	https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:mountain_pass is probably a good idea for those mountain passes, as it's well documented on the wiki. I couldn't find any documentation of the landform tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landform
	3	2018-10-04 22:37:24 UTC	Warin61	Thanks for spotting the mine. I did download a small area around it but obviously not big enough. Trouble is ..it does not render :) Pass ... umm the OSM key mountain_pass is for a road. I am adverse to using the key natural as that confusingly applies to both 'natural' and 'unnatural' things so ...
	4	2018-10-05 00:32:19 UTC	aharvey	It renders in OsmAnd :) Activity to get it rendering on the main OSM map https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/331 It would be great if you could document your landform usage on the wiki as a proposal or just on the tagging list so we can discuss it?
	5	2018-10-05 00:34:52 UTC	Warin61	Still have to deal with the proposed 'ephemeral' ! Then there is public transport v2 that I said i'd do a bit on... lots 'to do' :)

63166796 by Misa_zumba	1	2018-10-04 03:50:19 UTC	aharvey	Looks good, though did you leave this disconnected from Warrangarree Drive for any particular reason?

63176966 by Pokemon player234567	1	2018-10-04 03:35:55 UTC	aharvey	I've unglued this park from the road.

63177147 by Pokemon player234567	1	2018-10-04 03:30:55 UTC	aharvey	+1 This park is shown in the LPI Basemap and Imagery.
	2	2018-10-07 09:10:16 UTC	Warin61	If you look you'll find a few missing parks ... No 1 Lucinda Rd is a park on the LPI base map.

63177219 by Pokemon player234567	1	2018-10-04 03:24:44 UTC	aharvey	Please see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tips_for_new_(Pokemon_Go)_mappers I've reverted this change.

63114043 by Bookster	1	2018-10-02 11:30:20 UTC	aharvey	If there are signs indicating this is explicitly for mountain biking you can add bicycle=designated, or if bicycles are just permitted bicycle=yes, likewise if walkers are excluded by signs then it's foot=no. PS. If you haven't already, you can take at look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mo...
	2	2018-10-02 11:35:56 UTC	Bookster	Hi, while it's an mtb park, the trails are still able to be used by walkers. Thanks for the info though

63118712 by Bumblefoot	1	2018-10-02 11:26:12 UTC	aharvey	This looks like a driveway to a private residence, that should be tagged highway=service + service=driveway + access=private See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:service. PS. You can make many changes which go together at once, then only hit save to upload as a changeset after that.

63078594 by TCBHurricane	1	2018-10-02 00:18:42 UTC	aharvey	Hey I see you've migrated this node to the campus boundary, that's the right thing to do. :+1

14410492 by Jonnosan	1	2018-10-01 12:02:19 UTC	aharvey	Hey, I did the walk out to Asgard Head, however I could only find a track out to the point a bit to the east of where you placed the lookout, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/629482923 do you think it's okay if I delete your track as I couldn't find it? ...though I could have missed it..
	2	2018-10-01 18:53:23 UTC	Jonnosan	yes that's fine.

63012757 by A bird	1	2018-09-28 16:17:02 UTC	SK53	Please dont do this it is completely unnecessary. OSM stores geographical information: it is trivially easy to calculate the area. Furthermore as OSM gets improved incrementally areas may change, so if you used OSM to calculate the area the value you added might be wrong in the future. If you used s...
	2	2018-09-29 10:09:21 UTC	aharvey	I agree with SK53, this should be reverted for those reasons.
	3	2018-10-03 08:21:11 UTC	xoryo	If we remove this, shouldn't we then also remove the other areas from the sea nodes? There are still a few, that is why I also added some sea areas in the past.
	4	2018-10-04 11:42:55 UTC	A bird	How do you calculate the area when they are mapped as nodes and not areas?
	5	2018-10-04 12:22:25 UTC	SK53	The whole point is that these are mapped as points because there is no clear consensus about their boundaries. Any area will be approximate and not guaranteed to be one that others will arrive at. Such subjective information just doesn't belong in OSM. Just because it is possible to add information ...
	6	2018-10-12 11:13:22 UTC	woodpeck_repair	This changeset has been reverted fully or in part by changeset 63451640 where the changeset comment is: revert addition of sqkm attribute to water areas

62991504 by ninears	1	2018-09-28 04:50:05 UTC	aharvey	Hi, what is this mean to be? What's FTTX?

62936150 by Pokemon player234567	1	2018-09-26 12:27:34 UTC	aharvey	It looks like Hornsby Park already exists at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/12011375
	2	2018-09-27 01:17:53 UTC	WoodWoseWulf	I've removed the duplicate area added in this edit - this park is already mapped.

62937041 by Pokemon player234567	1	2018-09-26 12:23:53 UTC	aharvey	I've changed this to driveway.

62838859 by Red-back_spider	1	2018-09-23 03:07:10 UTC	aharvey	I think it would be better to add the maxspeed on the water area as it applies to all craft, not just ferries. It also avoids needing to split these ways which makes editing more complicated.
	2	2018-09-23 04:36:50 UTC	Warin61	No source for the information. Possible copyright breach? The nippers run has no permanent installation - just along the beach. Not verifiable. Revert?
	3	2018-09-24 04:54:32 UTC	aharvey	I'm tempted to agree to a revert, these ferry routes are already complicated and I think splitting to add the maxspeed just adds unnecessary complexity when that maxspeed is more appropriate on the water area.

62837590 by Dave Rave	1	2018-09-23 03:09:34 UTC	aharvey	Why remove natural=cape? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural=cape seems to match. Maybe old_name is a better tag?
	2	2018-09-23 11:03:37 UTC	Dave Rave	Cape sounds good, didn’t seem to be a good fit whatever it was I was looking at, and then hard to spot acrekevsnt entry later,
	3	2018-09-23 11:52:19 UTC	aharvey	Did you want to add it back?
	4	2018-09-23 17:56:30 UTC	Dave Rave	Just looked, I see natural, and natural features I don’t see cape
	5	2018-09-24 01:41:57 UTC	aharvey	I've fixed it up now, but for future reference there's no preset in iD so you can scroll down to the list of tags and edit manually.

62716900 by pangenib	1	2018-09-23 02:59:24 UTC	aharvey	Looks like this change resulted in many overlapping streets, which Warin fixed up in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/62839490 do you know what caused this?

60092070 by Hong Li李	1	2018-09-21 13:06:30 UTC	aharvey	Are you sure there's a camp ground so close to the street here?

62764024 by Hong Li李	1	2018-09-21 13:05:46 UTC	aharvey	I'm pretty sure these places don't have Chinese names. I've deleted the tourist=attraction since there is not attraction here. The viewpoint isn't connected to any track are you sure it's in the right location? I don't think it's going to go well camping in that marsh... are you sure the lo...

62783407 by pangenib	1	2018-09-21 12:51:25 UTC	aharvey	+1 Though I changed that relation to except=bus since from the imagery it says Bus Only which excludes taxis http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/using-roads/buses/bus-lanes.html Unless the imagery is outdated?
	2	2018-09-21 13:50:05 UTC	pangenib	I actually, added via node which I missed while creating relationship few months ago. Anyway thanks for replacing except=psv with except=bus which represents the reality as shown in imagery.

62782566 by Sir_Bart	1	2018-09-21 12:47:39 UTC	aharvey	Hi there, I've changed that park to a leisure=pitch http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=pitch

62755563 by Warin61	1	2018-09-20 12:51:40 UTC	aharvey	Hey mate, I'm not sure I agree with changing https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/626872748 to match the cadastre. I think we should map the actual use on the ground (how it was before). Those wooded areas aren't being used as recreation area, so in my view, they shouldn't be included. There is a secti...
	2	2018-09-21 04:13:10 UTC	Warin61	Bet both ways? I don't like land covers and land uses being the same ways.. leads to things like national parks being the end of tree cover. Not hard and fast on it though. Pennant Hills Park is taken to the LPI boundary, they have increased the number netball courts there over time. They may...
	3	2018-09-21 05:03:00 UTC	aharvey	Generally I agree re sharing the same way, but in this case it does look like the land cover and land use line up. It comes down to the principle of mapping how it's being use at the moment on the ground, not where the legal parcels extend to/where it could go in the future. > I'll try to t...
	4	2018-09-28 05:05:20 UTC	Warin61	I've taken a look. The trees overlap some fences and shelters. 4 netball courts are now parking. Etc. I have reduced the rendering area. But have made a non rendering area for the legal area. It may be useful if they extend. I have also add the Bradley Reserve to the south of here, as a p...

62750126 by Maradona11	1	2018-09-20 10:33:56 UTC	aharvey	Same comment re https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:footway%3Dsidewalk PS. this is probably considered mapping for the router as the pedestrian area is already mapped out, however since many routers have trouble routing over areas I can see how it's useful to also map it out as a way.
	2	2018-09-20 23:02:35 UTC	Maradona11	looking at this again, I also think these two pedestrian areas should not be joined together as they are on two different levels and not possible to walk between. thoughts?
	3	2018-09-21 00:50:37 UTC	aharvey	I'm not 100% sure but it might make sense to use barrier=retaining_wall https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Abarrier%3Dretaining_wall on a shared way between the adjoining pedestrian areas, or perhaps using a different level or layer tag is enough to know they are on different levels.

62749228 by Maradona11	1	2018-09-20 10:30:13 UTC	aharvey	See the wiki on the sidewalk tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:footway%3Dsidewalk sidewalks go along side a road, if not then it's it's not a footway.
	2	2018-09-20 23:07:17 UTC	Maradona11	confused, what do you suggest tagging it?
	3	2018-09-21 00:45:43 UTC	aharvey	I've fixed it up now, it's just highway=footway I think this was made more confusing due to https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2018-September/012072.html the outcome of that is to change the ID preset translation back to the american term "sidewalk".

62750810 by pangenib	1	2018-09-20 11:00:24 UTC	aharvey	Are you sure about this, in the 2015 Mapillary imagery it's oneway https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=-uigmRftXvo8YOheB6BN6A&focus=photo
	2	2018-09-20 23:38:06 UTC	pangenib	Thank you for you feedback. Sorry. Yes this is oneway with an exception for Bus.
	3	2018-09-21 00:40:20 UTC	aharvey	See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway#Sub_keys_.2F_exceptions that would be oneway=yes, oneway:bus=no
	4	2018-09-21 00:51:06 UTC	pangenib	Thanks aharvey.

61936006 by MargaretRDonald	1	2018-09-09 03:51:12 UTC	aharvey	Hi, welcome to OSM! Regarding this change of name from "Access Trail" to "Barrenjoey Lighthouse Track", I added "Access Trail" as that is what the path was signposted as when I visited. Where did you find the new name?
	2	2018-09-19 03:01:13 UTC	MargaretRDonald	It is the name given by the locals (of which I am one). In fact it is the original tramway track laid for a royal visit (Edward?) early in the 20 th century, which then became the 4-wheel drive access track for the lighthouse men and their families, and now after much money could be traversed by any...
	3	2018-09-19 03:09:51 UTC	aharvey	Thanks for the reply. I've ensured Access Trail (as signposted) is still preset by placing it in the alt_name tag.
	4	2018-09-19 03:20:11 UTC	MargaretRDonald	Excellent (and thanks for caring) It's Sydney's answer to Mt Fuji, a religious trek.

62569291 by John Bek	1	2018-09-16 05:22:55 UTC	aharvey	I'm curious how do you determine building heights?
	2	2018-09-16 05:23:45 UTC	aharvey	What's the building_1=yes tag? https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/16750738
	3	2018-09-16 20:49:10 UTC	John Bek	I generally go for the 3m average per level, but sometimes search it out online
	4	2018-09-16 20:52:01 UTC	John Bek	Am curious about the building_1=yes tag. I don't recall adding that, and if I did, it was somehow a slip of the fingers
	5	2018-09-17 02:14:19 UTC	aharvey	I think it's better to set building:levels and data consumers can guess a height from that. Otherwise I suggest you add a source:height so that if someone surveys it they know that it's okay to replace if they have a more accurate value compare to it being a guess from building:levels https://wiki.o...

62599072 by Mani2014	1	2018-09-16 05:20:43 UTC	aharvey	Could you provide details of this college? It doesn't look like there is any from the imagery.

62599140 by Mani2014	1	2018-09-16 05:20:07 UTC	aharvey	Hi, Could you please provide details of this apartment hotel? From the imagery it doesn't look like there is an apartment hotel here.

62610848 by jakecopp	1	2018-09-16 05:14:21 UTC	aharvey	the footway=sidewalk tag is for footpaths along side a road, it doesn't look like these are...
	2	2018-09-16 07:29:50 UTC	jakecopp	Thanks very much, fixed. I missed the difference between "Footpath" and "Foot Path" in ID editor. I'll do more reading up on path types.
	3	2018-09-17 00:09:19 UTC	bartholemeu	Very nice! i had just noticed last week that there is a lot of unmapped features in this area, and was wondering what the deal was! I'l try and add a bit more with my notes when i get a chance
	4	2018-09-19 07:55:15 UTC	jakecopp	Cheers :)

62364405 by VlIvYur	1	2018-09-07 10:51:34 UTC	aharvey	What was wrong with the phone number format before? https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/node/5883822942
	2	2018-09-11 20:23:56 UTC	VlIvYur	Number formatting is a task of client software. In OSM only country code, area code and local number must be separated, other spaces can be misunderstood
	3	2018-09-11 23:45:45 UTC	aharvey	But these numbers are entered and checked by humans, and it makes it less error prone and easier to do when left in their standard formatting as used by locals. We loose that by trimming spaces, but what do we gain?

62471851 by Maradona11	1	2018-09-11 14:10:50 UTC	aharvey	nit picking on this, but the sydney harbour tunnel shouldn't share a node with the ferry route since they aren't connected, see https://osmcha.mapbox.com/changesets/62471851
	2	2018-09-12 03:52:16 UTC	Maradona11	reverted.

62415186 by MargaretRDonald	1	2018-09-09 04:06:33 UTC	aharvey	You'll probably need to add a new way potentially reusing existing nodes for the leisure=nature_reserve. It's probably easier to do in JOSM.

62281794 by Moult	1	2018-09-06 00:05:37 UTC	aharvey	Nitpicking but 1/10 should probably be addr:unit=1, addr:housenumber=10
	2	2018-09-08 12:17:06 UTC	Moult	I think you're right, should this be a general rule where any A/B housenumber should be converted into addr:unit=A, addr:housenumber=B? Or are there exceptions to the rule?
	3	2018-09-09 02:30:13 UTC	aharvey	Generally yes, I'm not aware of any exceptions.

62359437 by Maradona11	1	2018-09-07 03:35:26 UTC	aharvey	You've (probably accidentally) added bus=designated to all the nodes on these ways, plus in your other changesets too I think. The the tags on the ways are sufficient. This can happen if you use select all in JOSM (not a good idea), best to manually select each to avoid accidentally tagging the wron...
	2	2018-09-07 06:17:52 UTC	Maradona11	Can I revert to prior my changes today? and yes I will take your advice and do it on individual segment basis from now on.
	3	2018-09-07 06:36:16 UTC	aharvey	That's probably the easiest and safest way forward (as opposed to trying to do another mass edit), then you can go through and reapply the bus=designated to the T-way road segments (and not the nodes). The reverter plugin for JOSM works well, it will probably tell you there's a conflict from an e...
	4	2018-09-07 12:28:19 UTC	Maradona11	I have reverted all my changes made today regarding bus=designated ways and Nodes! I used josm reverter which worked well. I will be manually tagging the roads from now on. Thank you for your feedback and advice.

62359717 by Maradona11	1	2018-09-07 04:19:24 UTC	aharvey	same issue here wrt bus=designated on nodes
	2	2018-09-07 12:36:12 UTC	Maradona11	Changeset reverted

62358301 by Maradona11	1	2018-09-07 03:52:35 UTC	aharvey	Could you hold off the mass change please? Manually changes are prefered as it's all too easy to make mistakes with mass changes. eg. https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/node/719962298
	2	2018-09-07 04:16:10 UTC	aharvey	See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport#Buses according to docs, bus=yes means that this public transport stop is a bus stop. It's not an access tag.

62336680 by Ben Ak	1	2018-09-06 12:23:30 UTC	aharvey	Hey, I assume you thought you were adding a private bookmark? Your change changed the name of this bus stop for everyone.

62339040 by showmyelevation	1	2018-09-06 11:22:52 UTC	aharvey	Hi, just checking you did mean to move the toilets and Flight Center as well? See your change at https://osmcha.mapbox.com/changesets/62339040 highway=footway implies motor_vehicle=no so it's not necessary to explicitly say.
	2	2018-09-06 12:00:15 UTC	aharvey	I've reverted the accidentally moved nodes due to https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4776

62326678 by pmansour	1	2018-09-06 00:09:32 UTC	aharvey	Hi you could also add service=driveway https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Ddriveway and access=private (if it's not a public road)
	2	2018-09-06 06:24:17 UTC	pmansour	Thanks, aharvey I'll do that.
	3	2018-09-06 06:26:18 UTC	pmansour	It's actually a shared driveway with 6 or so other houses. Is that still the best way to tag it? cheers Paul
	4	2018-09-06 06:43:03 UTC	aharvey	I'd still say it's a driveway even if it's shared by multiple houses. It looks like it's an easement across all the properties, so access=private makes sense.
	5	2018-09-06 06:50:16 UTC	pmansour	Thanks again.

62302087 by Hilton Hotels	1	2018-09-05 08:15:22 UTC	aharvey	I've change the opening_hours format so it validates. http://projets.pavie.info/yohours/ and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours can be helpful.

62239966 by Maradona11	1	2018-09-03 12:43:24 UTC	aharvey	Do you know who can actually use T-Ways, the signage I've seen just says "No Entry, Authorised T-Way Vehicles Excepted". psv includes Taxis (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access) are you sure Taxis are allowed to use the T-Way?
	2	2018-09-03 23:09:57 UTC	Maradona11	You are correct. Tway should not been tagged psv=yes as Taxis are not allowed. Im finding many of the tways tagged incorrectly and inconsistantly in and around Sydney. What would be your recommendation tagging the Sydney Tways? No access, Bus=yes ??
	3	2018-09-04 00:21:51 UTC	aharvey	Thanks for confirming that. I've reverted this change, as it was correct before, access=no (as generally no one can access it) and then say who can, in this case busses acting in a public service vehicle, since it's designated and not just permitted for busses we should use bus=designated (slightly ...

62218406 by Jincumbilly	1	2018-09-03 13:08:17 UTC	aharvey	Hi, I know you're only new to OSM, so no worries with the process you've used. But if you feel like getting more advanced, you can use the More Tools > Replace Geometry feature in JOSM to draw a new way but retain the object history.
	2	2018-09-04 05:51:33 UTC	Jincumbilly	Cool thanks

62232738 by pangenib	1	2018-09-03 13:03:26 UTC	aharvey	Was this split for any particular reason? Generally you only need to split a way if you need different tags on different segments or making only one segment part of a relation.

	3	2018-09-02 13:57:30 UTC	aharvey	I've removed the subway tag as per feedback on that thread, subway in OSM means metro which means mass rapid transit. These stations are for regular heavy rail.

52665809 by swanilli	1	2017-10-05 22:05:26 UTC	aharvey	I can see where you're coming from, and honestly I'm not sure what we should have in OSM here, but the path from Burning Palms to Figure of Eight Pool was marked as trail_visibility=no which means pathless so no evident trail on the ground. This passage is very well used by people so I'd argue it's ...
	2	2017-10-05 22:07:52 UTC	aharvey	On the otherhand there are no markings on the ground, and it might be better to add tags to the rock to indicate it's passable so routers can choose to go over the rock.

	2	2018-08-24 09:28:44 UTC	Multi Pass	Thanks for letting me know. I should have checked more thoroughly before making the changes. Don't worry about reverting, I can manually fix the mistake. Lee.
	3	2018-08-24 10:39:33 UTC	aharvey	I'll leave it to you, but I would recommend the JOSM reverter, it ensures you don't miss anything and lets you know about conflicts if things have since changed (which they did for Mount Wellington, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/61163943)
	4	2018-08-25 00:54:51 UTC	Multi Pass	I have reverted the changeset, including the Mt Wellington name removal. Also added a source for Aboriginal names.
	5	2018-08-25 01:10:55 UTC	aharvey	If they aren't from a survey, and just copied from another source, we need to ensure that copyrighted data is compatible with the OSM license terms.

61938484 by jakecopp	1	2018-08-25 00:20:06 UTC	aharvey	Hey I changed this to just cycleway=lane as I can see bike lanes on both sides at https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=uYPm2IS5vAvhMykbyxRyrQ&focus=photo if it's changed since then (Map 2018) please say so.

61942645 by Ben Carroll	1	2018-08-24 23:39:03 UTC	aharvey	If the track exists on the ground, it should be in OSM. If it's not specifically designed for foot traffic, you can use the lower class highway=path or if it's specifically for bicycles use highway=cycleway.
	2	2018-08-24 23:43:50 UTC	Ben Carroll	Yep - I get that, but given the nature of the 'track' with local kids working on it and coming down it at very high speed, I didn't think it was safe as many end-users of OSM data see foot paths and cycle paths as much the same.
	3	2018-08-25 00:07:43 UTC	aharvey	I've reverted this to bring back the objects since you noted the path does actually exist on the ground. Likely you'll want to downgrade it to highway=path

	2	2018-08-21 01:54:35 UTC	Warin61	a) From my reading of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=motorway_junction this names an exit off the motorway - not the entry to it. b) the Way: Windybanks Interchange (8063077) is seen as you go under the way .. just like you see the name of Way: Falcon Street (171334934) when y...
	3	2018-08-21 02:27:42 UTC	aharvey	Part of the problem may be highway=motorway_junction isn't intended to be used to map interchanges, generally the whole system of offrams/onramps where two major roads connect are an interchange and in this case it's a named interchange like https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2130503373 or https://w...
	4	2018-08-21 03:00:07 UTC	Warin61	Yet that is the interpretation that I have come to. Otherwise .. what name do you give the way over the motorway there?

	5	2018-08-21 04:24:26 UTC	aharvey	Yeah I agree that the name of the way should be as signposted. I've restored https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3537363017 using the tag place=highway_interchange.

61816703 by Galanski	1	2018-08-21 04:18:37 UTC	aharvey	I've migrated all the existing tags across from https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/267333870/history into the new way.

	2	2018-08-19 15:11:25 UTC	Var-vara	In the form in which the intersection was drawn, at this point the turn was banned, there is a continuous road marking, it can be seen from the pictures of LPI NSW Imagery. The intersection has been corrected a little, the ban on turning is removed.

50908854 by bb808	1	2018-08-13 11:41:54 UTC	aharvey	Hi, where did you source the name for this from? Was it a street sign or local knowledge?
	2	2018-08-14 04:54:43 UTC	bb808	The street sign says Old Bamarang Road, not sure why Six Maps & Google both do not have the correct name.
	3	2018-08-14 05:11:21 UTC	aharvey	Thanks for confirming! Agreed we should map per the street signs.

61442893 by kwametedros	1	2018-08-14 05:09:48 UTC	aharvey	The original mapper has reverted this change as it reportedly doesn't match the street sign on the ground. It's a good idea to check street level image and ask the original mapper about their sources before replacing a name with the LPI Base map.

61426170 by miroslavuzice87	1	2018-08-13 11:43:46 UTC	aharvey	I think a better changeset comment is "changed street names based on LPI NSW Basemap", as you're not adding missing streetnames, you're replacing existing ones. Keep in mind the LPI Basemap isn't always correct.

61615891 by ElleCooper	1	2018-08-13 09:02:33 UTC	aharvey	It's not really necessary to add addr:state=NSW as it's inside the NSW relation, https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2316593. I mean it's no harm, but it's not needed.

	2	2018-05-16 22:33:00 UTC	John Bek	There are many buildings whose names are the street addresses, so this is why I have named them as such. Even the building that I work in has an address for its name. But if name tags can only carry "names", then so be it
	3	2018-05-16 23:14:38 UTC	Warin61	Many buildings have their address as a sign on the front of the premises .. and bless them for it!. However ... you tagged 10 Bridge Street as the name of that building .. yet it has a name that is not '10 Bridge Street' ... see https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/exchange-house-could-reap-1...
	4	2018-07-07 12:13:26 UTC	aharvey	It can be hard to tell sometimes, but I think that if sources (signage, local knowledge, etc) confirm that the building name is the address + street, then it's okay to put that in the name tag as that reflect it's name.
	5	2018-07-08 07:37:21 UTC	John Bek	Yeah, I think I'll just leave it blank from now on anyway, if the signage states only an address.
	6	2018-07-09 00:01:18 UTC	Warin61	I'd not take a simple sign stating the address as the name of the building.. I would add it as the address of that building. If I recall correctly all the 'names' I removed were not entered as the building addresses .. I did add the addresses. I did not remove 'names' that reflected addresses eg 'On...

49389259 by rpy	1	2018-06-30 02:59:04 UTC	aharvey	Hey for the crossings per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:footway#Usage_for_crossings the accepted tags seems to be highway=footway + footway=crossing, not highway=crossing. Cheers.

55119902 by MapAnalyser465	1	2018-06-27 22:56:52 UTC	aharvey	I've fixed up the intersection around Seventh St and Airport Drive wrt pedestrian crossings, it's gone through a bit of construction but this looks permanent now. I'm not sure there was ever zebra crossings here though...
	2	2018-06-27 22:58:57 UTC	aharvey	Also did you survey that the roundabout https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/524662407 was no longer there? The imagery can easily be outdated here so want to ensure it came from a survey.

55768501 by mrpulley	1	2018-06-10 22:38:11 UTC	aharvey	regarding https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7936180 and probably a few others, the sign on the ground uses ref=A3, is there any reason you've dropped the A in the ref?
	2	2018-06-11 14:01:41 UTC	mrpulley	I wasn't aware alphanumeric routes had been signed in the NT (that particular relation and others were created based on the tags from the existing ways) - if these routes have now been signed as alphanumeric, then feel free to add the A (or B/C) (and remove the network=S tag).
	3	2018-06-11 22:13:50 UTC	aharvey	Sorry I see what you mean, you only added the relation based on existing tags on ways. They have https://www.flickr.com/photos/136319147@N08/27873027067/in/datetaken-public/ I've updated these two in OSM now.

2427143 by DMaximus	1	2018-06-05 01:38:16 UTC	aharvey	Hi, I see you added ref=TBIT here. All the signs I could see and staff I spoke with referred to this as terminal B. I couldn't see a way to have an alt ref so I've changed the ref=B. Please discuss here if you think this is wrong.
	2	2018-06-05 02:24:18 UTC	DMaximus	This changeset is from 8 years ago, and I know the international terminal underwent extensive renovations since then. If the signs now say B then that's what the ref should be.

The road was realigned in March 2017. The "highway=track" road should have been retained as it was. Please do not make edits unit you confirm the data. So...
	2	2018-05-25 15:01:54 UTC	speedwatcher34	Can you specify exact location on map I mad the mistake. The google map that open street maps has is out dated and some of the new roads are not on the old out dated google sattilite maps, that's open street maps are using.

59228079 by dhix	1	2018-05-24 02:06:40 UTC	TheSwavu	Hi, You appear to have added maxspeed tags to several hundred nodes. I think you need learn how to use JOSM before you try any more bulk edits. Thanks.
	2	2018-05-24 02:31:12 UTC	dhix	Thanks. There were a few of us from local govt doing this together. Can you tell me what we did wrong? We changed many max speed tags based on what we all know of the region. Apologies but this indeed was our first session doing this.
	3	2018-05-24 02:44:03 UTC	TheSwavu	Reverted at changeset #59228612. maxspeed tags on nodes.
	4	2018-06-03 18:29:30 UTC	aharvey	hi @dhix there are exceptions but generally the maxspeed tag should just be used on the way, not the nodes too. Speed bumps/humps/tables that have an advisory speed signposted are a common time to use maxspeed:advisory on nodes.

	2	2018-05-20 07:24:40 UTC	Zhent	My recollection is I added it because it was the only decent clear viewpoint I found along the upper section of the track, even though it is not on the track and you have to climb up offtrack to get to it - why I left it disconnected from the track I guess. If it causes confusion it can be removed....

This is George St Liverpool. 2. You need to add a tag that explains what thing the node is trying to represent. Have a look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office 3....
	2	2018-04-28 04:49:58 UTC	aharvey	I have no issue with aggressively removing future edits which look like this, as it appears they are using a Geocoder to get the location, which we likely can't include the derived information from.

	2	2018-04-26 08:29:05 UTC	indierokkr	There are two small cricket pitches internal to the park, rest of the area is definately leisure park with playground and areas to walk dogs
	3	2018-04-28 04:30:43 UTC	aharvey	+1 indierokkr, only taking the sporting fields as leisure=pitch inside a leisure=park makes sense here.
	4	2018-04-28 04:40:19 UTC	indierokkr	Okay thanks aharvey, sorry still new to mapping :)

58303772 by lachiester	1	2018-04-28 04:24:45 UTC	aharvey	Nice work here. A question, what is https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/399566412 is it a hall, classrooms, administrative section? I'm not sure https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dtownhall is the best tag here. just building=school would probably suffice.

24991516 by awesomekimbos	1	2018-04-21 23:01:53 UTC	aharvey	you've added this picnic site over a residential area, could you move it to the right location based on the LPI Imagery which should be clearer here?

58134455 by Mikideez	1	2018-04-17 10:00:26 UTC	SK53	Have you verified that the maps on the West Gate Tunnel project are genuinely available with a licence suitable for OSM. I can find no licence statements on the website. It is normal practice in this case to assume that they contain copyright material and are not suitable for use in OSM. There are r...
	2	2018-04-18 00:18:54 UTC	aharvey	Thank you @SK53 for being on top of this! I agree, the maps referenced are Copyright, and don't even appear to be under an open license, let alone with the extra conditions OSM requires.

58076560 by greyim	1	2018-04-14 01:21:36 UTC	nevw	Hi why is there a string of html type text in the description tag on Sassafras Creek?
	2	2018-04-16 08:48:45 UTC	aharvey	Looks like that goes back to older versions of the way https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/238028224
	3	2018-04-16 10:49:06 UTC	nevw	OK, it displays ok on the deep history page so might as well be left as is I suppose. greyim, I noticed a small section of stream along Sassafras Creek that needs splitting and the name added https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/579710816#map=18/-41.57870/146.34979
	4	2018-04-16 12:03:33 UTC	aharvey	It shouldn't display like that though https://github.com/osmlab/osm-deep-history/issues/19. Either way the data in the description means nothing so we should remove it. I am wondering where this data was originally imported from though, since we can't use the CC BY license tasLIST data I suspect ...
	5	2018-04-16 12:33:26 UTC	nevw	Agreed. Greyim was at the start of the edit history so might shed some light.
	6	2018-04-16 12:54:42 UTC	nevw	PLANACC in an html like string seems endemic in Tassie Run this...(6Mb) http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/xWq Likely a big hydro data import years ago.
	7	2018-04-25 22:14:32 UTC	greyim	Hi folks... sorry my edits may be a bit odd.. many the streams I added a ways back from Geoscience Aust 1:250000 which I understand is a legit source... however they are quite low res and in many places better Bing traces have been made by various contributors. This sassafras stream being one such. ...
	8	2018-04-25 22:18:37 UTC	greyim	The html in the description I think comes from fields in the geosci data, some of which also use capitals. At present displays like mapnik simply ignore these so if they were removed somehow it wouldnt matter?

46913865 by Maradona11	1	2018-04-16 09:26:57 UTC	aharvey	why was railway=station removed? I don't see any other railway=station for Central that existed at the time. https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/xW0 Someone since created https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5124591624 but I'm tempted to delete that and put it on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/34891023 ...

49760108 by EGGonFOOT	1	2018-04-16 09:15:32 UTC	aharvey	I've reverted this for consistency with the naming of all other train/light rail stations. The fact that it is a light rail station is implied by the fact that it's on railway=tram

57191853 by deryadilmen	1	2018-04-13 23:07:58 UTC	Warin61	Hi, Permanent Ave is two way, not one way. The road is only divided at the roundabouts. If you want to separate it at each roundabout then be aware that there are 2 routes that will need modification as well.
	2	2018-04-13 23:13:52 UTC	Warin61	Similar for Prince Edward Ave. It is two way .. not one way... the road is not divided.
	3	2018-04-13 23:18:00 UTC	Warin61	Take a look at the LPI Base Map for how they split the roads at roundabouts ... they don't split it along the length unless the roads are split too.
	4	2018-04-16 09:09:50 UTC	aharvey	We should try to avoid dual carriage ways like this, it just adds unnecessary complexity for what gain?
	5	2018-04-16 09:11:28 UTC	aharvey	Wardell Road is kind of broken now with the oneway next to the twoway segments.

57957629 by ptobias87	1	2018-04-10 23:41:21 UTC	aharvey	Did you see https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/434350593 ? Looks like the train station already exists in OSM.

57866716 by Leeluhm	1	2018-04-07 21:27:33 UTC	Warin61	Hi, Welcom to OSM. You have added 'Norman Crescent' ... this is named as 'Arkley Avenue' in the LPI Base Map. Are you certain of the name? The road is also mapped as 2 one ways .. the road is a single 2 way road, it is not separated so a U turn can be done on it for instance. So it should be mapp...
	2	2018-04-09 01:32:29 UTC	aharvey	Echoing what @Warin61 said, great start here, but these look like they should just be a single way down the road centre line (not a oneway way for each lane).

57727674 by Keith	1	2018-04-02 13:15:28 UTC	mueschel	Hi, you introduced some new tags on several national parks. Could you explain their meaning? AUTHORITY = WA_DPAW PA_ID = WA_31362 RES_NUMBER = WA31362 Thanks, Jan

	5	2018-04-03 06:42:51 UTC	aharvey	I agree with @mueschel that we should be using the `ref` key https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref for external references. So ref:capad or something like that. The description of the AUTHORITY field sounds like it should go into the OSM operator tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:...

	7	2018-04-06 09:51:39 UTC	mueschel	What are we going to do with the existing res_num, pa_id, Res_num, RES_NUMBER, PA_ID tags? Delete?
	8	2018-04-06 10:36:04 UTC	Keith	As far as I know i have deleted the tags. I will check and act accordingly.

That said it's not clear to me what "no through road" means here,...

57704411 by Moult	1	2018-04-03 05:10:00 UTC	aharvey	looks good to me, you've split rocky point road at the intersection so you can correctly add the new restriction.

	2	2018-03-29 04:04:53 UTC	aharvey	no idea how that street turn into three, I've tried to clean it up while still keeping the original road for history, admittedly i split it up a fair bit to add turn lanes. @xujiayi_1256 sorry if some of your turn restrictions got lost, I tried to avoid but could you double check it looks okay now?

56885279 by cycopath	1	2018-03-05 04:50:34 UTC	tonyf1	Hi. Thanks for your map contributions. Access Road sounds like a description and not a name. Its OK for roads to not have a name. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only
	2	2018-03-05 04:56:03 UTC	cycopath	As far as I know it is called the access road locally as it is the vehicular road used to access the Telstra tower and the other tracks I added are MTB tracks only. It is likely it is unnamed.
	3	2018-03-05 05:02:02 UTC	tonyf1	Thanks for the quick reply. I'll leave it to you whether to retain the name or not.
	4	2018-03-27 03:23:53 UTC	aharvey	ps. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name there are a few different name tags. loc_name would be good for a name just used by locals colloquially. That said, I don't have a problem with a commonly used name (but just not official) being used as the "name".

57022345 by Praetor287	1	2018-03-10 20:31:04 UTC	TheSwavu	Hi, Did you get permission to us DCDB in OSM?

Thank you. --- ...
	2	2018-03-27 03:19:14 UTC	aharvey	Agreed with @TheSwavu. See the DNRM thread at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2018-March/thread.html. It's unfortunate but I see no other option than to revert these unless you can pull out the DNRM derived data?

57053957 by jkiht9	1	2018-03-11 20:32:54 UTC	Warin61	Hi, For things like parks use the LPI Base Map - it has the legal boundaries and names of the park. I have changed Rathmines Park to match the Base Map rather than imagery.
	2	2018-03-27 03:12:03 UTC	aharvey	I think it's fine to use the imagery, in fact even preferable, after all the imagery reflect what's on the ground, which is what we should be mapping, not what the legal boundaries of the land parcels designated for the park.
	3	2018-03-27 20:42:41 UTC	Warin61	It can be hard to determine what is part of the park. Is the Catalina Conference Center part of the Park? Is the foot path to Starboard Close part of the park? And, if so .. how wide is the parks area there? These things are easier to determine using the base map.
	4	2018-03-28 15:12:25 UTC	jkiht9	Next time I'll use both the imagery and LPI base map. I briefly visited the area in person and I mapped the limited bits I saw.

57165774 by tonyf1	1	2018-03-15 07:33:48 UTC	nevw	Hi tonyf1 I added the boundaries for the 3 Selby Bushland Reserves using CAPD 2014. The CAPAD 2016 boundaries are the same but we don't have the necessary waiver signed signed to be able to use in OSM yet as far as I can tell.
	2	2018-03-27 03:07:15 UTC	aharvey	Actually we do have the necessary waiver completed, so legally can use CAPAD 2014 or 2016. See https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2018-March/011736.html

57370947 by Treadly	1	2018-03-21 10:22:01 UTC	nevw	I notice that with this changeset you have used uppercase names. It is usual to use mixed case. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Naming_conventions
	2	2018-03-27 00:13:15 UTC	aharvey	Also see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things. In this case the cricket ground is better mapped with leisure=pitch + sport=cricket rather than the descriptive name.

32110574 by Zhent	1	2018-03-14 08:58:39 UTC	aharvey	Zhent, mind if I ask where you sourcei the name "Coomie's Walk" for https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/328523397/history from? Someone contacted me saying it was named after their grandfather and was looking to find out more about how the name came about.
	2	2018-03-14 09:49:06 UTC	Zhent	The main information board/map at the start of the reserve identifies the path as 'Coomie's Walk'. I can't recall if there was any other references to it.

30029747 by aharvey	1	2018-01-30 14:40:41 UTC	MarkusHD	Access of way https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/250087113 has been changed here, foot=no makes it impossible to route to the Top Station because a little segment here is affected: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=-36.49295&mlon=148.28998#map=17/-36.49295/148.28998 Was this really intended?
	2	2018-01-30 22:28:24 UTC	aharvey	Whoops. I added foot=no because there are signs saying that track is for bicycles only, no walkers. However you're right about that short segment. Unless anyone else has better knowledge I'm happer for you to change that small section to allow walkers.
	3	2018-02-01 00:46:12 UTC	MarkusHD	I'm away from home for some time and using Vespucci is too complicated for me for non simple tasks, so I leave it to you :) I didn't walk this route anyway, so I don't have surveyed it myself, only tried routing this alternative track.
	4	2018-02-13 11:27:25 UTC	MarkusHD	I got quite comfortable with Vespucci and have just changed it, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/56321245

52529813 by Leon K	1	2018-01-22 07:03:11 UTC	aharvey	whats https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/529140614 for? The Royal Botanic Garden is mapped out at https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3744999 it seems to overlap it.
	2	2018-01-22 08:00:52 UTC	Leon K	To be honest, not sure. I cleaned up the edge of an existing area, no idea how I ended up replacing it, especially since it was 4 months ago.
	3	2018-05-17 22:46:33 UTC	Warin61	??? Deleted ... leisure=park ... inside the botanic gardens... make no sense.
	4	2018-05-17 23:19:21 UTC	Leon K	I wish i'd never touched this one. As far as as I remember there were multiple areas overlapping. I remember smoothing the edge,
	5	2018-05-18 00:37:16 UTC	Warin61	Hopefully (wishful thinking?) I have managed to catch most of my mistakes before someone else noticed ... Fingers crossed that this deletion is ok. I think it is .. I did some work on these gardens - separating up the domain etc ... and adding paths, art work .. that was some time ago. Presently...

32072267 by Warin61	1	2018-01-20 08:51:37 UTC	aharvey	It's marked as a shared zone on the ground. When the markets are on it's more like a pedestrian, when it's weekday it's probably more like service or residential.
	2	2018-01-20 20:26:33 UTC	Warin61	'It' being Argyle St? This tagging is from Changeset: 13654452 by Ebenezer some 5 years ago.I did not notice it... All 3 sat imagery show it as a market place with bollards top and bottom - the LPI is clearest. Could it be tagged as residential with opening hours and pedestrian with the market...

54261187 by John Bek	1	2018-01-20 08:51:32 UTC	aharvey	I noticed you removed tourism=hotel from Park Hyatt Sydney, even with building=hotel you still need tourism=hotel. I've added it back in.

24765986 by EdBoy	1	2018-01-19 11:45:36 UTC	aharvey	Did you mean to mark this as access=private, when I drove past it didn't look private or restricted access.

22344411 by Warin61	1	2018-01-14 22:01:18 UTC	aharvey	here you added the opening hours of the royal botanic gardens as closing at sunset, however the signs at the gates actually list an exact time for each month of the year which coincides with sunset. While I'm not too fussed but would prefer to map the signposted monthly times, what do you think?
	2	2018-01-14 23:19:24 UTC	Warin61	Fine, that info must have came off a sign at one of the gates .. update it.

53435894 by John Bek	1	2018-01-12 04:56:19 UTC	aharvey	is this building underground? could we add a tag for that? as from the outside there is no building visible here.
	2	2018-01-12 05:32:48 UTC	John Bek	As the shown area is so large, I'm not sure which building you're referring to
	3	2018-01-12 07:28:44 UTC	aharvey	Sorry i meant http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/409035048. There is a pedestrian place intersecting your building so wondering if the building is underground. Thanks
	4	2018-01-12 22:17:53 UTC	John Bek	Not sure why the building boundary was like that as the museum isn't that big. The boundary has been reset, as has the pedestrian area. Thanks
	5	2018-01-13 02:48:10 UTC	aharvey	Thanks that looks much better based on what I saw from walking past. I just merged the duplicate nodes onto the building.

	2	2018-01-13 02:14:42 UTC	Fizzie41	G'day Andrew. I've been playing with that tag over this last week or so for both Burleigh & Palm Bh SLSCs https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/315566900 & https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/546969971, but it appears that if you use it, the building disappears?!
	3	2018-01-13 02:15:40 UTC	Fizzie41	Sorry, forgot to add: I was going to raise it on the Oz list to see what everybody's thoughts were but have been trying various changes
	4	2018-01-13 02:27:09 UTC	aharvey	Howdy, it's correct to tag it against a building of that building is mostly designated for the club, in that case you still need building=* in addition to club=. If it's simply a node that's a different story.
	5	2018-01-13 03:16:03 UTC	Fizzie41	I did that on the Palm Beach Club & it disappeared off the map? Had it as either building=yes or building=commercial which showed normally, when I added club=sls it disappeared, then when I removed the club= tag it re-appeared?

	2	2018-01-03 10:11:57 UTC	mbethke	Yes, it is; I didn't know that tag exists, so go right ahead! Naming it "blowhole" was a bad idea though, especially as name and name:en are out of sync now, so I wouldn't mind if you deleted those, too :)

	2	2017-12-07 16:58:15 UTC	herriotto	Hi David, thanks for reaching out to confirm. I found the license here - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution/qld.data.gov.au_explicit_permission. Please me know if the wiki needs to be updated or another change in License has occured. Cheers, Oisin
	3	2017-12-08 01:31:43 UTC	aharvey	That link is for TMR. The website gisservices.information.qld.gov.au doesn't work for me, could you please point to which service this data came from? QTopo from DNRM has not allowed their CC BY data to be used in OSM. See the thread at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2017-Octob...
	4	2017-12-08 01:33:36 UTC	aharvey	Further the TMR "permission" seems to me a bit weak legally. I'd suggest we try to get the OSMF CC BY waiver signed, and if not don't use TMR data.

	6	2017-12-08 21:59:10 UTC	aharvey	It's just QSpatial is run by Department of Natural Resource and Mines which didn't grant the extra permissions OSM requires.

46922042 by Yourock17	1	2017-11-23 00:09:42 UTC	aharvey	Hi Yourock17, where did you discuss this import? See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines for the process for importing data into OSM. As far as I'm aware we don't have a CC BY 4.0 waiver from Transport for NSW yet, so can't use their data in OSM.
	2	2017-11-30 13:30:40 UTC	Yourock17	I admit I should have read the import guidelines. I don't know how to revert a changeset. Now would be a good time to revert everything since the operator of the busses is revamping the entire network so the routes and stops are now outdated. Should I map the new routes without stops included or jus...
	3	2017-12-04 21:43:35 UTC	aharvey	In JOSM. Data > Revert Changeset. However I don't really know the area well or exactly what you've done in this changeset. Eitherway you'll need to remove the imported data until we have the waiver from TfNSW. You're free to map independently from ground survey though.
	4	2017-12-04 21:44:37 UTC	aharvey	You can map out the new routes without stops, but again without a CC BY waiver from TfNSW you shouldn't just copy the routes from their map you'd need to survey this yourself independently.

54322184 by Buzzmegged	1	2017-12-04 21:16:11 UTC	aharvey	I've reverted your change to the landuse polygon which flooded perth with green. I don't agree with that landuse way, but I think it's fair to leave it as a placeholder which can be reduced while it is mapped with better detail to exclude non residential areas.

54021439 by lsblocksmiths	1	2017-11-23 10:32:53 UTC	nevw	You need a physical presence on the ground like a shop to enter your business details into the OpenStreetMap.

	2	2017-12-03 22:14:44 UTC	aharvey	Probably best to remove, as no response and can't see any visible signage outside from Mapillary.
	3	2017-12-05 08:41:01 UTC	nevw	Reverted Changeset: 54021439 as no physical business presence on the ground evident or mapped and no response from original mapper.

	2	2017-11-13 07:06:10 UTC	aharvey	PS. once this is resolved we can add in that footbridge connecting Douglas with P2.
	3	2017-11-13 10:30:26 UTC	BrettM6000	I parked in the P2 car park a few days ago. I went in from the east and exited to the west. I can see how it is confusing though because I only mapped the outline of the car park. There are 2 sections to it. One section is the multistorey rectangular section that has about 7 levels (don't know exact...
	4	2017-11-13 10:35:58 UTC	BrettM6000	The elevated footbridge that connects the Douglas Building with P2 and then goes on to the main building is not accessible to the general public so I didn't think it was worth adding. I believe it is only used by certain staff and to transport patients.
	5	2017-11-13 10:44:37 UTC	BrettM6000	P.S. the Mapillary image below shows that the exit to the east is blocked off by the vertical orange pole in the driveway. I don't know if this is temporary or permanent. So once you go in this driveway you have no choice at the moment but to exit via the driveway to the west. https://www.mapillary...
	6	2017-11-13 21:53:25 UTC	aharvey	Got it, thanks for the detail! Since it's all the one car park what you've done to mark out the footprint is correct. I'll map the building:parts separately so each can be assigned a building:levels.

53671923 by BrettM6000	1	2017-11-13 07:25:02 UTC	aharvey	Ideally v1 of would be a building:part since it has more levels than the other part that v2 covers.

53654939 by Olivier Mehani	1	2017-11-13 06:57:25 UTC	aharvey	It looks like you've added this twice, did you want to delete one of them?

53491460 by Evo_Evz	1	2017-11-03 23:05:15 UTC	aharvey	How is this signposted on the ground? If it says left turn only then it's better to map it as only_left_turn rather than with the no_straight_on. only_left_turn implies you can't go straight or or turn right already.
	2	2017-11-03 23:49:11 UTC	Evo_Evz	Yes it's signposted left turn only but when I added left turn only and removed no straight on you were still able to go straight on according to the diagram. At the moment it has both. I didn't seem to be able to get it to not be able to go straight on just with a left turn only.
	3	2017-11-04 00:04:31 UTC	aharvey	"according to the diagram" which diagram? If the sign just says left turn only, then it should be mapped in OSM with an only_left_turn relation (and not with a no_straight_on as that is implied already by the only_left_turn).
	4	2017-11-04 00:39:19 UTC	Evo_Evz	Is there anyway I can send you a screenshot? Might make things easier. Thanks for your time I really appreciate it. I would like to get more involved and I want to do things properly.

	7	2017-11-04 04:02:56 UTC	Evo_Evz	Check out these two screenshots of the same screen. You can see the diagram I was talking about in one. Atm I'm working on the south end of Willarong Rd traveling north. You can see that you can still travel straight through even though there's a Left Turn Only role assigned on the other screenshot....
	8	2017-11-04 04:26:07 UTC	aharvey	That diagram isn't showing what turn restrictions are in affect, it's showing you what ways you can select for the current turn restriction you are adding. So even with just the only_left_turn it will prevent routing straight through.
	9	2017-11-04 05:00:08 UTC	Evo_Evz	Ok then I understand, and I can test the routing by using ORSM and it's routing correctly with only the Left Only Turn. Do I need the U turn restrictions with Left Turn Only? Thanks so much. In regards to the other side of Willarong Rd heading south. Yes of course I shouldn't delete the small sec...

Try JOSM, it's much easier when working with relations and turn restrictions. These are the 3: https://...
	17	2017-11-08 07:47:56 UTC	Evo_Evz	Finally! Ok I have used 7712221 which was the to relation for all members. 7713776 and 7717282 should be deleted. I'm pretty sure it's correct now but you better check my work. Thanks heaps for your help.
	18	2017-11-08 10:12:52 UTC	aharvey	Looks fine, good job! There's plenty more missing turn restriction in OSM that are just waiting to be added.

	5	2017-11-07 21:59:44 UTC	aharvey	There has been an influx of poor quality SEO entries where we don't hear back on changeset comments when things don't add up.

52060900 by Joel Hansen	1	2017-11-04 23:40:47 UTC	aharvey	Yes, please do map footpaths, they make pedestrian routing more accurate and informative. There are two ways to map the footpath. Using sidewalk tags on the road and as a seperate way. You can have both in use at the same time. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks#Sidewalk_as_sep...

53194586 by WhateverWhatever	1	2017-10-24 06:34:47 UTC	David Dean	There's nothing wrong with using footways to map sidewalks, in fact I think it is better and more detailed in the long run. It also allows you to indicate useful things like pedestrian specific crossings, and tactile paving.
	2	2017-10-24 06:36:24 UTC	David Dean	Wiki page here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks. Both are acceptable, so I don't think removing someones mapping work to make a less detailed approach is a good idea.
	3	2017-10-24 08:57:12 UTC	aharvey	Agreed both styles (separate way and sidewalk tags) can coexist.
	4	2017-11-04 23:35:22 UTC	aharvey	No response from the mapper, so I've gone ahead and undeleted the footways while leaving the new sidewalk tags on the highways as both can coexist. Partially reverted in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/53516154 Undeleted with JOSM: w524640907 w532523005 w524635444 w524635443 w52463544...

40258772 by aharvey	1	2017-11-03 12:39:28 UTC	Evo_Evz	Hi Andrew, I'm new to editing but I wanted to delete this small part of Willarong Rd between the two Kingsways you seem to have created. The reason is because you cannot drive straight through Willarong Rd from North to South. Or would it be better to leave this small part of Willarong Rd there and ...
	2	2017-11-03 21:39:28 UTC	aharvey	If you check the history of the way you're talking about at https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/151022092 you can see it was actually created by inas. No worries though. Looking at the imagery, it doesn't look like there is a physical barrier and as you point out you can still make left and ...
	3	2017-11-03 22:52:55 UTC	Evo_Evz	Thanks Andrew. I'm making some changes and had a few questions. First can you tell me how I modify a changeset comment? I made an error in the comment only and wanted to fix that first. It's changeset 53491460. Supposed to say, Left turn only, not Right turn only. Thanks.
	4	2017-11-03 23:03:58 UTC	aharvey	You can't modify a changeset comment after you've saved it, but you can add a changeset comment like we are doing here. The changeset comment is helpful for others to understand what and why you changed something.

50450812 by managedseo	1	2017-11-03 06:09:13 UTC	aharvey	The SEO business was removed already in an SEO cleanup, but I've also reverted the part which moved the footway.

53361938 by Ashra	1	2017-10-31 05:19:47 UTC	tonyf1	Hi. I don't know if it is a town or a suburb but I suspect that this is a controversial change that may require consultation with the mapping community.
	2	2017-10-31 07:02:58 UTC	Warin61	Take a look at the Sydney relation:(5729534) .. that is a suburb. If you want Parramatta as a city/town etc then maybe look at what has been done for Sydney as a city? But I'd recommend contact on the Australian mailing list first.. talk-au@openstreetmap.org In the mean time I have chan...
	3	2017-11-02 06:05:17 UTC	aharvey	+1 with discussing this change. I tried to document the current situation at https://gist.github.com/andrewharvey/6c55bff57b96481528cc4da974e69e35 In summary, I'm okay with how it is currently, but still think we should distinguish certain suburbs as higher ranking (eg. Parramatta vs Harris ...
	4	2017-11-02 07:05:42 UTC	tonyf1	Interestingly, closer to home for me, Dandenong is a town - Node: Dandenong (67340420) and Node: Berwick (2166885522) is a suburb despite being further out. Both were towns before greater Melbourne absorbed them.

53280053 by drgeoffb	1	2017-11-01 23:21:20 UTC	aharvey	Thanks for contributing. 1. AFAIK this facility is mostly un-staffed so no office here right? 2. An industrial process takes place here so should be landuse=industrial. 3. Add the operator=Sydney Water 4. https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=amenity%3Dutility_water isn't used, so I would...

53280470 by drgeoffb	1	2017-11-01 22:25:23 UTC	aharvey	Perhaps building=retail would fit here since it sells things? You could just add amenity=atm as a seperate node inside the building, it's more likely to be used by data consumers and you can then add tags specifc to the atm.
	2	2017-11-01 23:04:46 UTC	aharvey	We now have this pub mapped twice https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/518743604 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/535898268 I prefer to map the grounds since someone in the outdoor seating area is still at the pub. So I'd put all the tags relating to the pub on the outside way, and just leave t...

53278691 by drgeoffb	1	2017-11-01 22:55:08 UTC	aharvey	There are now two post offices here https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4312386629 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/535847473 There should only be one amenity=post_office since there is only one post office. I suggest migrate across tags from the node to the way and delete the node.
	2	2017-11-02 01:11:09 UTC	drgeoffb	Will do, thanks for feedback. I guessed one of them would need to be removed, but thought it might be a bit presumptuous to be removing other folks' work before I was sure of what I'm doing.

53279491 by drgeoffb	1	2017-11-01 22:39:33 UTC	aharvey	You could change it to highway=service, service=driveway, access=private rather than deleting, but I'm not fussed.

46183711 by zepaz	1	2017-10-31 12:16:03 UTC	aharvey	I made some changes to Bennelong Bridge, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/53393819

53393819 by aharvey	1	2017-10-31 12:15:45 UTC	aharvey	The road and cycle/foot path are physically seperated on the single bridge. I've changed the access tags for each to reflect. (ie. no foot or bicycle on the road way, only on the cycle/foot way). Changed psv to bus as it's only busses allowed, not taxis (psv includes taxi). The access restrict...

53277431 by Tom Frampton	1	2017-10-28 03:36:49 UTC	tonyf1	Hi. I think leisure=fitness_station is a better fit? See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=fitness_centre. Also the name may be better deleted, its for proper names not descriptions see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only Thanks for your contributions

52171535 by ferrocarta	1	2017-10-24 02:33:32 UTC	aharvey	This edit is incomplete, if you move the railway station from this building to a node then could you move across all the tags including name, wikidata etc. as they are not correct now that https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/461677979 not a railway station. You also need to update the https://www.o...
	2	2017-10-24 09:02:50 UTC	ferrocarta	I've added the relations; wikidata, wikipedia and operator were already copied. I don't think note and layer should be copied because they refer to the building rather than to the station as a public transport object.
	3	2017-10-24 11:33:10 UTC	aharvey	copied, yes but moved no. moving the tags means removing them from https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/461677979. ;) Agreed all the tags that relate to the building should remain on the way, and all the tags relating to the station should be moved (including deleted from the way) to the node.
	4	2017-10-24 12:42:14 UTC	ferrocarta	Ok done, I am not sure if these tags should necessarily be removed from the building because they don't disturb, but if nobody complains that's fine.

For example City of Sydney https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1251066 you changed the name from "City of Sydney" to "Council of the City of Sydney".

53027370 by Daryl Radivojevic	1	2017-10-23 06:18:26 UTC	aharvey	It says at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Roundabouts that roundabouts should be mapped out as circular ways. But I don't have an opinion on this and certainly as a node is better than not at all.

53028123 by techsolvers	1	2017-10-23 06:13:32 UTC	aharvey	If you know the post office is here did you wanted to deleted the one at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3146751111 ? The other one lists a copyrighted source, so happy to delete it over yours.
	2	2017-10-23 06:41:44 UTC	techsolvers	Good point, I hadn't considered that the old entry would still be there. I've deleted it.

53141650 by wanderlustig	1	2017-10-22 11:28:28 UTC	nevw	Should levers be written with an upper case L or is it a peculiar name that begins with a lower case l?
	2	2017-10-22 21:25:44 UTC	wanderlustig	I thought the notes added to those features made it clear that Ievers (presumably pronounced "EYE-vers") is correct. Please modify the notes accordingly If you can devise some more effective way of communicating this.
	3	2017-10-23 02:47:32 UTC	nevw	Yes, these comments make it clear that it is a peculiar name that begins with a lower case l.
	4	2017-10-23 02:54:12 UTC	nevw	Correction.... it begins with an I (an upper case 'eye') and not a lower case l ('ell').

21929178 by Charles Murray	1	2017-10-20 07:31:16 UTC	aharvey	Hey, just a tip. Since these residential lots share borders in reality, the ways should share nodes so there are no gaps in between. PS. the building=house tag is for the building footprint, which is why these were changed to landuse=residential.

52863402 by woodpeck_repair	1	2017-10-20 00:56:48 UTC	aharvey	What's the policy on SEO edits, I encounter them almost every day and not really sure what to do. The ones I encounter it's a new OSM account for each "customer" and they never use the correct format for opening_hours or accepted payments etc.
	2	2017-10-20 05:55:55 UTC	woodpeck	There's no written policy but first and foremost the rule is "no advertising", i.e. anything with a "description" tag that tells us how the excellent lawyer has been helping their clients for a decade should be deleted on sight. Another frequent problem is bad or missing tags, or...

28621836 by bartholemeu	1	2017-10-20 00:47:56 UTC	aharvey	Is it really named "indistinct track"? Better to use https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:trail_visibility so it get's the right classification.

53066927 by Scuba Dooba	1	2017-10-20 00:34:28 UTC	aharvey	Hi, welcome to OSM! I'd suggest you take a look at these tags.

	2	2017-10-20 00:28:00 UTC	aharvey	PS. maybe also try editing in JOSM, personally I find it easier to deal with relations compared with the iD editor.
	3	2017-10-22 10:14:16 UTC	Joel Hansen	OK, I tried the changes you suggested. Not sure if it's what you wanted exact to how you said. I have tried JOSM, but find it a bit too complex, that's why I used iD.
	4	2017-10-22 21:31:14 UTC	Warin61	Some comments; The tag "area=yes" is not required. The Relation: 7670619 has one member Way: 533296035 as "inner". But an inner of what???

52921848 by logic99	1	2017-10-14 13:19:40 UTC	nevw	You are welcome to map the driveways. If at a later stage you add footways you would have a node at each driveway they cross or add the sidewalk tag to the streets. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sidewalk
	2	2017-10-15 06:19:44 UTC	aharvey	If they lead to a private property I've marked them access=private when I've mapped, although strictly only past the front fence is private.

13600970 by cleary	1	2017-10-14 02:37:22 UTC	aharvey	With relation 2521345 any reason why you've used except=psv? From the signage it should be except=bus?

	3	2017-10-14 06:06:11 UTC	cleary	I think I was wrong, confusing "bus" with "psv". Also it appears hours have been changed since restriction was first added. I would be pleased if you could correct the information. Thanks for your conscientious observation of this error.
	4	2017-10-15 03:00:08 UTC	aharvey	no problem. done in http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52944761

52845601 by Daryl Radivojevic	1	2017-10-12 21:19:08 UTC	Warin61	No. Part, and only part, of these streets are used as the boundaries of Parramatta and Westmead councils. So they have to be, at least, in 2 bits. Use the LPI Base Map to view this information - the pail dotted lines.
	2	2017-10-13 22:16:47 UTC	aharvey	@Daryl Radivokevic Unfortuantly the iD editor doesn't warn you when your changes affect a relation, so just try to watch out for how changes will affect relations too.

	3	2017-10-11 15:05:25 UTC	BrettM6000	Hi. I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking about the "No U Turn" on Warringah Rd at Bangalla Pl, or the "No U Turn" on Bangalla Pl at Warringah Rd?
	4	2017-10-12 01:17:49 UTC	aharvey	Sorry that's a bad example since I re-purposed your relation. See any of these https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7010985 https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7010988 https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7010989 No uturn restrictions from and to the same way.

	6	2017-10-12 04:30:38 UTC	BrettM6000	If you look at 7010988 for example, I think I just put it in for completeness when I was doing other things. It just means that you can't drive west on Bangala Pl and perform a U Turn on Warringah Rd and go back to Bangala Pl. I think it is correct but I guess you are just saying that it is redundan...
	7	2017-10-12 07:25:46 UTC	aharvey	Hmm I feel it's redundant as it's no different to most other intersections in OSM right? I don't think it makes sense to have a no-u-turn relation on every single intersection unless signposted.

3764493 by MCH	1	2017-10-08 09:21:20 UTC	aharvey	I tried but couldn't find the track you added from Erskine Creek to the parking lot at the top of Nepean Lookout Firetrail. I checked both ends with no success. It could be well overgrown by now. I'm tempted to remove, do you have any advice?
	2	2017-10-08 11:01:07 UTC	MCH	Haven't been there for a long time, although I rode past two weeks ago. It was a popular tack down to the creek from memory and was easy to find. I wouldn't remove any track unless you can be 100% sure it's just not active. Call the NPWS ranger Tina and she will let you.

	2	2017-10-05 22:05:15 UTC	Wilson Yung	ah...I think it's an accident..what I was trying to do is remove the duplicate "cook Park" name at -34.004397, 151.129002, as there is a "cook park" near by at -33.995383, 151.145602.
	3	2017-10-05 23:48:29 UTC	aharvey	The whole area is referred to as "Cook Park" all the way from up near Kyeemagh down to at least Sandringham. The south part near Captain Cook Bridge I think is un-signposted so simply landuse=grass. If you've confirmed it's not part of Cook Park, then simply removing http://www.openstre...

In the iD or JOSM editor, if you change the background imagery to LPI Base Map you'll see the part near Captain Cook Bridge is labelled Cook Park.

	2	2017-10-05 22:17:00 UTC	Wilson Yung	Judging from the size and imagery, I wouldn't say it is a park. But I agree with you that the facility should be mapped. What I did here was only delete the park point and polygon.
	3	2017-10-05 23:07:01 UTC	aharvey	Thanks.

	4	2017-10-05 23:19:00 UTC	Wilson Yung	I am actually going to walk pass by that area today...so I'll have a closer look and see. thanks for pulling up the definition of park.
	5	2017-10-05 23:41:13 UTC	aharvey	Perfect. Would be interested to see if it has a name sign posted, since it was mapped out with a name originally.
	6	2017-10-06 01:30:39 UTC	Wilson Yung	It's a tiny pocket park, with wooden deck. I haven't seen any signpost, however saw a picnic table/chair and bike rack on site.
	7	2017-10-06 01:47:21 UTC	Wilson Yung	I don't know how to revert changes in the browser, could you revert that change and I could add the facilities on it?
	8	2017-10-06 02:34:15 UTC	aharvey	Done. I've removed the node, left the area. Marked it as surface=paving_stones. I know it's not all paving_stones, but it might be a good way to say mostly it is?

50316514 by mbethke	1	2017-10-05 22:57:13 UTC	aharvey	I noticed the cafe you added http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4972926520 was already mapped in OSM http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4331958057 I've deleted your one and kept the one which was there first, just updating the position slightly to where you had it.

52611206 by Wilson Yung	1	2017-10-05 13:30:33 UTC	aharvey	This node somehow got caught up with the road. Instead of deleting the tags I've restored it's position and detached it from the way in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52654782 If you've surved that there is no library then that's fine, but I guess you're just deleting it since it was inc...

	3	2017-10-05 22:52:42 UTC	aharvey	Got it, I was confused as the changeset comment was "hotel name change". It would be awesome if you mentioned this in the changeset comment, something like "removing duplicate library already existing at http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4621800012". Thanks!

52643239 by Wilson Yung	1	2017-10-05 13:03:28 UTC	aharvey	Hi there, did you really mean to delete this beach?
	2	2017-10-05 21:42:49 UTC	Wilson Yung	there's another silica beach nearby in the south west at silica cove(-35.077967, 150.776625). I should just get rid of the name, rather than the polygon itself.
	3	2017-10-05 22:48:34 UTC	aharvey	That's right, the beach is still there, so if you only want to remove the name, just delete the name tag. I reverted your changeset since the beach is still there, but you can go in and just fix the name.
	4	2017-10-05 22:50:49 UTC	aharvey	PS. it's great that you're using changeset comments, they are super helpful for others to understand intentions and what you're trying to do. I can see here you've used the same comment as last changeset, I know it's easy to make that mistake, I have too, so keep in mind of that next time. Cheers.

52498186 by Aushiker	1	2017-09-30 23:02:39 UTC	tonyf1	Hi. I think bicycles=no means that it is not possible to take a bicycle on the ferry. https://www.rottnestexpress.com.au/luggage says that subject to dimensions they can for $15. The issue that you want to address is with the routing software and not the map.
	2	2017-10-01 01:44:40 UTC	Aushiker	Thanks for the explanation. I and others have taken the issue with the routing software developer so hopefully we can resolve it from their end.
	3	2017-10-02 20:20:04 UTC	aharvey	Mind if I ask which routing software you're having the issue with?
	4	2017-10-03 00:27:20 UTC	Aushiker	Sure. It is Wahoo Fitness "Take me anywhere" feature which is part of their Android app for the Wahoo Elemnt [and Bolt] bicycle computer/GPS.
	5	2017-10-09 05:06:42 UTC	tonyf1	I removed bicycle=no in Changeset #52747057. I hope you are OK with that.

	2	2017-09-26 20:04:03 UTC	Pierce	What copyrighted data?
	3	2017-09-27 03:56:08 UTC	mavl	Probably, the address data. The changeset tag is imagery_used=...aerial.maps.api.here.com... So this source is incompatible.
	4	2017-09-28 08:03:01 UTC	aharvey	here.com as a custom imagery source? Surely that's a big no-no?
	5	2017-09-28 09:54:05 UTC	Pierce	I honestly didn't think I added it as a custom imagery source. Is there any editor that has here.com? JOSM, merkaartor, potlatch? I'm not trying to excuse the revert, I'm just curious how it came about. It's a shame that all that work has been reverted though.
	6	2017-09-28 10:40:15 UTC	mavl	> Is there any editor that has here.com? JOSM, merkaartor, potlatch? I think that no because "here" is in general blacklist. [http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/capabilities]
	7	2017-09-28 12:18:37 UTC	aharvey	The buildings were done in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/42406779 which used Bing so they are fine, and the squaring is imagery agnostic. It's just the street addresses mavi reverted. @Pierce could you confirm where the addresses came from?

	2	2017-09-27 08:51:48 UTC	efAston	These suggested bike routes are useless anyway, they're actually worth avoiding (the NSW RTA hates cyclists and just wants them out of the way, they don't care whether the road is actually suitable for riding or not). The problem with mapping cycle routes in NSW is that a lot of the cycle routes ...
	3	2017-09-27 23:21:49 UTC	aharvey	I concur, it's better for bicycle routing engines using OSM to favour actual infrastructure over routes because the presence of a route says nothing about the infrastructure present or it's suitability.

52131502 by QuirijnGB	1	2017-09-19 00:11:12 UTC	aharvey	Hi, welcome to OSM. Do you know the current state? Is it a construction site, or is the new building already up? In addition to removing the old hotel, you could add either landuse=construction, or add the new building=apartments https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building
	2	2017-09-19 00:17:27 UTC	aharvey	Building is still there as of 1 month ago https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/al9kliHbcLhGZJrx9WW4Pg so I assume you mean the building changed from an apartment hotel to regular apartments?

	2	2017-09-19 02:42:54 UTC	CloCkWeRX	It's better to trace the individual building outline, not the entire block of land. I'm going to wager that it would be very difficult to or even impossible to confirm this via survey as a web design office, I tend to prefer to leave this kind of detail off the map

	2	2017-09-14 19:56:49 UTC	mueschel	Ah ok, this I couldn't see when reading the tags. The correct tagging is: vehicle:lanes = no \| \| psv:lanes = designated \| \| 'lanes:psv' can only be used to mark that there is a psv lane, but doesn't tell anything about where it is.
	3	2017-09-15 01:25:57 UTC	aharvey	Sorry you're right, thanks for that! https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lanes:psv is only for marking out how many psv lanes exist, not where they are. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lanes#Lanes_reserved_for_specific_vehicles describes marking out where those psv lanes are.

	2	2017-09-12 00:08:24 UTC	aharvey	Agree with Warin61 here, a feature in OSM should represent something physically on the ground (I know this isn't always the case, but generally should apply). So if something exists, like the roundabout, map that, but if nothing exists on the ground, that's not suitable for OSM. I'd suggest use ...

	5	2017-09-12 05:13:15 UTC	aaronsta	It may be appropriate to remove these lines, as I am yet to complete mapping the area and may need to use them again it could be useful to retain. The lines now have no tagged attributes aside from the note=*
	6	2017-09-12 05:20:31 UTC	aharvey	The issue is you're using OSM to save data really only useful/specific to you.

	2	2017-09-07 05:56:51 UTC	CloCkWeRX	No probs, it was just a quick survey on my part from a moving taxi; plus referring to LPI imagery after. If you've looked at it more recently happy to roll with that.
	3	2017-09-07 07:00:18 UTC	aharvey	Thanks for replying. I looked at it both just recently and about a year ago. Things change and imagery get's outdated. I know how easy it is to think it represents reality but it's not always the case.

We can use cycleway:lane:bicycle=designated & bicycle:no for legal bicycle lanes, and cycleway:lane:bicycle=yes & bicycle=yes for marked cycle shoulders to represent the legal restrictions that vary between marked shoulders and by the law cycle lanes.
	5	2017-09-04 05:46:52 UTC	samuelrussell	I wish I had the mapping time to go back and measure the widths :) But I'll keep it in mind and find a "meter" rod somewhere on my body for future mapping.

51503811 by nevw	1	2017-08-29 12:24:55 UTC	aharvey	even if it translated, it's common in OSM not to add translations but only name:<lg> if the feature is known by that foreign language name. Although I'm not strongly one way or the other.
	2	2017-08-29 12:55:41 UTC	nevw	Yes, I agree. This one was a bit unusual and... name=Manly Wharf\twas changed to name=Manly Wharf 玛丽海滩 So normally I would correct to... name=Manly Wharf\t and add name:zh=玛丽海滩 But though it may be correct, Google translated to "Mary Beach" so I just left it as... ...

51320987 by Chris Dowty	1	2017-08-29 12:20:53 UTC	aharvey	Hi, Welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing. In the case of https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/399938817/history the addr:street tag is reserved for the street address. This roof doesn't have an address so it shouldn't have an addr:street tag.

51402319 by Jacky Leav	1	2017-08-29 12:18:12 UTC	aharvey	Hi, Thanks for contributing to OSM!. You can read up on names at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:name&uselang=en-AU. name= should be the name the sign says, if it also has a name in another language you can add this with something like name:zh

51125674 by xdiamondx	1	2017-08-15 23:30:18 UTC	Warin61	It is WRONG. The admin boundary comes the NSW Government LPI. If you want to change the coast line then change that .. not the admin boundary!!!!
	2	2017-08-15 23:39:12 UTC	xdiamondx	I looked up the "OSM Example" for Harbors - http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/53.3889/-6.0644 Howth port and it comes with the administrative boundary attached to the coastline. Do you want me to change it back?
	3	2017-08-15 23:52:30 UTC	xdiamondx	@Warin61 I fixed the boundary. Sorry for the problem
	4	2017-08-16 00:00:16 UTC	Warin61	Thanks The Admin boundary would be correct. It could be the high tide mark .. in a certain year? Would have to read the legal papers to see. I am against having the admin boundaries use physical features - leads to this kind of problem. Where the coast line is ... could well be different from t...
	5	2017-08-16 00:43:35 UTC	xdiamondx	Here's the local government area map - http://www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/coffs-and-council/running-council/PublishingImages/Coffs_LGA_Localities-Map1.jpg If you zoom in you can see coffs harbour and it goes north from the breakwater - not following the coastline.
	6	2017-08-29 12:13:00 UTC	aharvey	I think we need to have a bit more of a discussion on this. If people want the LPI Admin Boundaries they can go to LPI and get it. The LPI boundaries aren't the official legal definition of these boundaries, they are just the LPIs representation. I think we should do what makes sense for OSM and ...
	7	2017-08-29 23:31:27 UTC	Warin61	Coastlines and rivers change over time. And so too do some roads. I'd think a legal boundary that uses a feature will specify a date? Or maybe the date is taken from when the document was made? By separating an admin boundary from other things in OSM it allows these other things to be altered by m...

51099175 by Nhadaya	1	2017-08-15 23:45:27 UTC	Warin61	How did you come to tag these as "landuse=residential" ? They are buildings! Tag them building=house in these cases.
	2	2017-08-29 12:06:27 UTC	aharvey	@Warin61, this is just my opionion here but this is @Nhadaya's first edit to OSM and I feel your comment could have been worded in a slightly more welcoming way. @Nhadaya welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing, you can check out the beginners guide at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Begin...
	3	2017-08-29 23:22:04 UTC	Warin61	Did not mean to put you off Nhadaya. But this is the second instance I found of this kind of thing occurring .. so I would like to know how you came to tag them as landuse=residential. That may help avoid further confusion?

	2	2017-08-12 14:08:14 UTC	nm7s9	Hi, When I surveyed this area the street signs (plural) said "Mibri Close". However when I saw that I was altering what you had tagged, I checked "LPI NSW" ACTMAPI and ACT disallowable instruements and they both said "Mirri" and the latter document elaborated tha...
	3	2017-08-29 11:44:06 UTC	aharvey	It was accepted practice in OSM to map what's one the ground https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Map_what.27s_on_the_ground. So if the street sign says Mibri Close and the legislation says Mirri Close, then we map name=Mibri Close, and put Mirri Close in one of the alt names and not th...
	4	2017-08-29 20:53:01 UTC	TheSwavu	This is Canberra. Good practice is to put in the correct name and report the spelling error to: https://www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/app/forms/fixmystreet ;-)
	5	2017-08-30 02:58:16 UTC	nm7s9	While surveying Canberra and parts of NSW, I came accross numerous cases where the street signs on opposite ends of a street had different spellings. How should I tag this case, and no, I'm not going to split the street in half and tag them differently :-) I also found one case (since corrected) ...
	6	2017-08-30 03:02:37 UTC	nm7s9	PS - on my report I couldn't pinpoint the issues on their maps precisely, because they use Google maps and are badly out of date. (Doesn't even have the new suburb).

50742881 by swanilli	1	2017-08-02 05:45:33 UTC	aharvey	Thanks for fixing up the geometry. I'm not sure about https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/384742094. The name tag isn't meant to contain access descriptions like "(closed)". What is there on the ground that actually indicates that this track is closed? What does closed even ...
	2	2017-08-29 11:36:09 UTC	aharvey	Hi @swanilli, I'd like to remove the description (closed) from the name. I'd even be okay with no name on this way since I've never seen a sign pointing out this path with a name.

51218681 by pangenib	1	2017-08-18 00:11:25 UTC	TheSwavu	Hi, bicycle tags are for access. So bicycle=yes means you can ride on this road. Infrastructure is indicated with the cycleway tag. So cycleway=shoulder means you can ride on the shoulder of the road. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycleway Thanks.
	2	2017-08-29 11:10:04 UTC	aharvey	"Sourced From RMS" Also keep in mind you can't copy information from other maps. It's better to add information from a ground survey.

45416176 by Tomwalters96	1	2017-07-15 06:40:02 UTC	aharvey	Could you please explain what this is? If you want to tag a backyard swimming pool, use leisure=swimming_pool, access=private.

41867680 by Netto54	1	2017-07-11 09:39:15 UTC	aharvey	I've changed https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4380628789/history to use club=sport rather than shop=sport
	2	2017-07-11 09:39:36 UTC	aharvey	What's https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4380573190 ?
	3	2017-07-12 03:14:21 UTC	CloCkWeRX	I think its better tagged as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dfitness_station
	4	2017-07-12 03:14:55 UTC	CloCkWeRX	SOme detail on it - http://www.haveyoursaywilloughby.com.au/gore-hill-exercise-equipment
	5	2017-07-12 03:44:15 UTC	aharvey	I'll do a ground survey to confirm its a fitness station. I thought they might be adding some kind of fitness club which is run there.

49978114 by Smiles Dental Care	1	2017-07-02 07:55:53 UTC	nevw	The node you have mapped is not located on Commerce Lane as stated in the address and there is no business called Engage Online in the Lane. There is no place on the OSM for business that do not have a physical location.
	2	2017-07-08 00:09:45 UTC	aharvey	I don't think it's a coincidence that their PO box number matches the number used for the Street Address "Postal Address: Po Box 52, Glenbrook, NSW 2773" especially given there is no 52 Commerce Lane. Looks like SEO spam. So +1 to remove.
	3	2017-07-09 11:28:26 UTC	nevw	Deleted this edit as no evidence of this actually existing on the ground, appears to have only online presence and no response from mapper.

46913942 by aharvey	1	2017-07-05 07:56:36 UTC	TheSwavu	Is this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/480950313 a thing? Or a slip of the mouse?
	2	2017-07-05 23:28:40 UTC	aharvey	There is something visible in the imagery, but I don't know exactly what it is. Probably how they get the toboggans back up.

	2	2017-06-23 07:55:50 UTC	aharvey	It looks good to me from the LPI Imagery (it's the area in between the dual carriage way of Palace Street.

41606327 by Warin61	1	2017-06-23 03:54:43 UTC	aharvey	Looks like https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/6393754 already existed before, we should keep that way and just update the geometry. Or at the very least delete the old way when adding one with geometry not snapped to the road.
	2	2017-06-23 04:51:37 UTC	Warin61	Thanks for finding that. Fixed. What was I thinking back then?
	3	2017-06-23 07:50:55 UTC	aharvey	also for https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/45646092 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/438360193 I think it's better to tag a multiuse pitch as sport=netball;basketball than having two overlapping ways, after all there is only one pitch, it just happens to serve two different sports.
	4	2017-06-23 08:32:36 UTC	Warin61	Netball and basketball have slight different sizes of court. And where they share a surface they have different line colours too. The line colours can be tagged correctly if they are separate ways ... but not if they are ; separated sports. I have done one where there are tennis, netball and bas...

6404798 by aharvey	1	2017-06-21 23:24:13 UTC	Warin61	Multipolygons don't do shared ways on outers.. So these might be best as simple separate ways. Doing this generates a warning - overlapping railways. I think that is ok - platforms do share segments.
	2	2017-06-23 07:44:15 UTC	aharvey	I'm okay with them being separate ways. Physically the whole area is one platform, but logically (in terms of the network and naming) each side is a different platform. So for simplicity, I'm happy with these being separate ways, without the relation with a shared border that way we have tags ...

43110299 by aharvey	1	2017-06-20 23:08:45 UTC	Warin61	Hi, Multipolygon relation 6664382 - the Westfield building. Multiplygons don't like shared segments, I think this would be better as a key building:part. The landuse declaration would be better as the larger area of Chatswood - on the basis of one feature one element in OSM. So I have changed th...
	2	2017-06-21 01:35:54 UTC	aharvey	This looks okay. I'm happy to have landuse=retail a little wider, but I favour keeping landuse polygons no larger than 1 block to avoid overlapping roads etc.

49058574 by chris_o	1	2017-05-30 06:39:13 UTC	tonyf1	Hi. You have deleted some features. It looks suspicious but I am not familiar with Sydney so its hard to know. Can you please give information on why these features were deleted. Thanks.
	2	2017-06-16 12:18:48 UTC	aharvey	Removing http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/9922132/history was probably good since it's also mapped https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/499234807.

48758677 by Rudy355	1	2017-05-21 12:52:34 UTC	aharvey	I see you changed https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/491089771 from highway=construction to residential. Based on your source tag, it doesn't look like a ground survey, did you? Unless you did a ground survey I think you should leave it as I tagged it.

48077563 by Spookylad	1	2017-04-24 08:37:45 UTC	tonyf1	Hi. You appear to be mapping the underground stormwater drainage system. Maybe they would be best tagged as man_made=pipeline rather than waterway=drain considering that they are underground. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddrain
	2	2017-05-11 07:05:40 UTC	tonyf1	Hi, you quote Source: Hurstville City Council Drain Map. Is this your source for all these drains? Is its licence compatible with OSM?
	3	2017-05-11 11:16:37 UTC	aharvey	@Spookylad, it doesn't seem the license of your source is compatible. Unless you can point us to further details about the license, could you please revert these changes and instead add data from ground survey or other sources which can be used in OSM.

47635423 by DeanoSydney	1	2017-04-11 03:16:11 UTC	aharvey	Hi, Thanks for adding this. A pointer for next time, a building generally shouldn't share nodes with the street it faces, as roads are center lines and buildings are for the footprint of the building only. I've fixed this up in http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47644250

43146930 by LUWANG999999	1	2017-04-07 09:12:51 UTC	aharvey	What were you trying to do with the parking lot here? It looks like a multi story parking lot but I don't understand what your tags mean. highway=path but foot=no? parking=underground but no amenity=parking? service=spur? All combined on the same way? What are you trying to map here?

38280899 by samuelrussell	1	2016-06-14 04:23:12 UTC	Leon K	The source:maxspeed applies to the ways but putting it on every node is overkill.
	2	2016-06-14 21:13:11 UTC	samuelrussell	I agree, I firmly remember discovering my error after upload and chasing down nodes with source:maxspeed applied to them to correct.
	3	2017-04-06 12:01:15 UTC	aharvey	You've also added maxspeed=40 to pedestrian footways which have no maxspeed signs from ground survey. I've fixed up one of them.
	4	2018-08-08 23:07:55 UTC	Warin61	Done the southern part ... ~100 nodes with source:maxspeed .. but no maxspeed. I did a search ..so that should be all the nodes done for this area.

	4	2017-03-28 12:52:27 UTC	aharvey	Thank you, I can see that makes sense, the bay area should either be within the ocean or some other waterbody like a lake, river, etc. So the blue water rendering would come from the waterbody or ocean and the natural=bay area is there to label the area. I disagree with tagging the insides here a...

	7	2017-03-28 20:55:14 UTC	jptolosa87	But technically the wiki doesn't prohibit the usage of waterway=riverbank into the sea. Then, if the sources doesn't convince you, we can use both tagging: natural=coastline & waterway=riverbank + tidal=yes
	8	2017-03-29 11:49:17 UTC	aharvey	This is going to be an uphill battle , so I'm going to pivot and look into using something like coastline=pelagic from wikipedia "A pelagic coast refers to a coast which fronts the open ocean, as opposed to a more sheltered coast in a gulf or bay." on the oceanic coastline because I need s...
	9	2017-03-29 20:02:06 UTC	jptolosa87	Definition of the natural=coastline is independent of locally established divisions. boundary=* tag supplies the second purpose. Your point view is incompatible with the OSM basic principle "Map what's on the ground".
	10	2017-03-30 12:19:47 UTC	aharvey	Exactly, I'm trying to ensure the natural=coastline tag and other tags are reflecting the natural environment on the ground based on my ground surveys of the area. As I mentioned on the tagging thread for me, based on on the ground surveys and local knowledge Botany Bay (http://www.openstreetmap....

41206957 by Warin61	1	2017-03-24 06:43:28 UTC	aharvey	How did you check for duplicates? eg. you added https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4333395907/ but it already existed as https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6396344 I've been seeing a lot of duplicated features from your Base Map imports.
	2	2017-03-24 08:24:39 UTC	Warin61	I checked for duplicate nodes .. not certain that I did check ways (too long ago to recall) .. and probably not relations. This change set 3/8/16 so 'my' node would have been that date .. relationship dated 9/7/16 so ~ a month previous. Humm I did a recheck some time ago on duplicates .. but aga...

	4	2017-03-25 00:15:36 UTC	Warin61	Ok .. found 7 that I have deleted. About half of those are mine. Did not answer your question of how I checked for duplicates ..

43937704 by swanilli	1	2017-03-23 10:59:51 UTC	aharvey	For https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/455660812 is it really named "Unmarked track"? There is a tag for unmarked tracks, trail_visibility=no.

30207586 by swanilli	1	2017-03-19 23:46:50 UTC	aharvey	When you named Pindar Pool, you cited a copyrighted source, I think it's best to use survey or local_knowledge souces.

46737409 by phenomenon9999	1	2017-03-14 13:02:53 UTC	aharvey	like your other changesets, don't add a name unless there is a proper name. Also you can just use access=private, and remove all the mode specific keys. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access
	2	2017-03-14 13:03:47 UTC	aharvey	Also part of the driveway way overlaps the road, which should be fixed. And is it really oneway?

46737178 by phenomenon9999	1	2017-03-14 12:59:41 UTC	aharvey	the amenity=bench already describes this as a bench, so save the name tag only when the bench has a special name.

	2	2017-02-22 06:58:17 UTC	huonw	I suspect it may've been accidental; duplicating the tags on the real cycleway on the other side of the oval.
	3	2017-02-22 08:07:12 UTC	aharvey	I'll change it back to footway since nothing on the ground indicates it's a cycleway.

	2	2017-02-06 23:36:05 UTC	aharvey	PS. If you're adding multiple buildings at the same time you can add them all then hit Save at the end so you only have one changeset adding a whole block of buildings.

38993006 by BalancingBean	1	2016-11-04 03:40:54 UTC	aharvey	I noticed that you added highway=path for this https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/305534455. What was your source for this? I know first hand that it's a pipeline not a path.

42472417 by EJ_	1	2016-10-07 05:41:14 UTC	aharvey	Howdy, you've added http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/444590126#map=19/-33.79729/151.18136 but this already existed in http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3993157057#map=19/-33.79742/151.18127

42490776 by EJ_	1	2016-10-07 05:38:41 UTC	aharvey	Howdy, it looks like you've added http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/444721625 but this already existed here http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3993157061. Could you fix this up, ideally retaining the original node for the history? Also is it correct to use indoor=room, since customers can't walk into ...
	2	2016-10-07 05:40:16 UTC	aharvey	You also have mapped out two McDonalds, but there is only one there.

42493275 by EJ_	1	2016-10-07 05:35:51 UTC	aharvey	Howdy, any reason why the post office is mapped out as two features? AFAIK there is only a single post office here as one big room.

39695761 by Swain Destinations	1	2016-08-28 00:08:35 UTC	aharvey	Hi I've reverted this change because The Sydney Opera House is already mapped in OSM here http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4960757

41406029 by vincentwang	1	2016-08-28 00:06:10 UTC	aharvey	I see another user has reverted this change, which I agree with. The reasons are that you added a new feature for the Sydney Opera House but it is already mapped in http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4960757 And for the other viewpoint, it's name is not Watsons Bay, and the name tag is reserved ...

39799159 by Lake Leung	1	2016-08-21 23:06:05 UTC	aharvey	I'm going to delete this as the Royal Botanic Gardens are already mapped in the relation -> http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3744999 If you wish to add the name:zh, add it to the existing relation.

41000354 by CitymapperHQ	1	2016-07-25 00:58:04 UTC	aharvey	Hi there, it looks like the road was already there from Railway Pde to Colebome Av, so I removed a node at the end to avoid the doubled up road way. I also added bridge and steps tags to the footway.

	2	2016-07-11 06:21:04 UTC	TheSwavu	And why did you add noname=yes to all of the admin_level=10 relations? And why did you delete the place tags?
	3	2016-07-11 08:32:24 UTC	moreton	Re sources for wetlands, swamps etc. As noted in the uploads, I have used 3 sources: (i) survey = visits to these areas in person to confirm mapped data; (ii) LPI map imagery; (iii) GA hydrology datasets (via geofabric). The mapped wetlands are mostly equivalent to GA hydrology datasets. The GA lice...
	4	2016-07-11 09:35:43 UTC	TheSwavu	So a few points then: 1. You are doing an import without following the import guidelines: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines 2. Have you got explicit permission to use the GA dataset? 3. Combining place with admin_level=10 is not unusual: http://taginfo.openstreetma...

	2	2015-08-17 09:05:48 UTC	SomeoneElse	There's a discussion of what should go in the name tag at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only . I don't believe that "cliff" makes sense here.

14291716 by MikeAus	1	2015-08-06 08:15:13 UTC	aharvey	Hi Mike, What does the 50m mean at Eagles Nest Lookout? It's too low for altitude...
	2	2015-08-06 08:32:44 UTC	MikeAus	When I visited there 2 years ago, the only signpost at the turnoff had written in it "Lookout - 50m" (i.e. 50 metres). - has this changed ?
	3	2015-08-06 09:30:00 UTC	aharvey	I'm not sure if it's changed. What you describe seems to indicate that the lookout is 50m from the sign, which is informative, rather than forming part of the name. The name tag should just contain the actual name, ie. "Eagles Nest Lookout". What do you think?
	4	2015-08-06 12:14:35 UTC	MikeAus	If I need to direct someone to this lookout in an emergency, it's no good saying "Take the turnoff to Eagles Nest Lookout". But if I say "take the turnoff Lookout 50m", they will know they are at the correct turnoff.
	5	2015-08-08 08:07:03 UTC	aharvey	Perhaps http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:destination_sign would be better suited then, it allows you to capture the information about the "Lookout 50m" better. You could also put in the description tag of the lookout a note about the "Lookout - 50m" sign. The reason...
	6	2015-08-08 11:36:22 UTC	MikeAus	The need of the Emergency Services I work with, is for OSM to enable quick, error-free navigation to an incident. If the sign says "Lookout 50m", then that's what needs to appear on the map.

20026268 by Roaming-Oz	1	2015-03-23 23:09:20 UTC	aharvey	Regarding way http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/256790444 the name tag is reserved for just the name, ie. Dunns Leap Track. The extra information although on the sign isn't part of the way's name so shouldn't be in the tag value. This information can go in a description tag, however, it is best to ta...

22494667 by dexgps	1	2015-03-12 05:40:21 UTC	aharvey	When you tried to remove the turn restrictions for http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2766091 http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3746660 it appears you just removed the tags from the relation, leaving a relation with no tags but still containing the members. To remove the turn restricti...

15217104 by Zhent	1	2015-02-15 21:45:40 UTC	aharvey	For way 866109501, I wouldn't class it is trail_visibility=bad (Path sometimes invisible, route partly pathless), as I found markers frequently along the trail, which sometimes had to be searched for which according to the wiki is trail_visibility=good (Next marker always visible, but sometimes has ...

27079948 by swanilli	1	2015-01-19 09:41:24 UTC	aharvey	Why is http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/314796230 named Pond? I couldn't find any sign or otherwise on the ground to support this. Shouldn't it just be water=pond without a name tag?
	2	2015-01-19 20:58:45 UTC	swanilli	It was definitely there on 17 Nov 14. It is mentioned in Wildwalks track notes and visible in Google maps (zoom in here: -33.491738, 151.225933). Maybe it had dried up when you visited. Let's face it, it's a small pond. I gave it the generic name "Pond" so it would be more visible. Now ch...
	3	2015-01-20 08:53:02 UTC	aharvey	I meant I couldn't find a sign that named the it "Pond", I agree that the water does exist, it's just the name is wrong. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name specifically the example of "closed pub (due for demolition): do not describe the object in lieu of a name." I w...
	4	2015-01-27 09:55:59 UTC	aharvey	I've updated this based on the name tag being just a description already provided by water=pond.
