| 2 | 2025-04-29 06:57 | mbethke | Hi! Thanks for catching this :) JOSM would probably have warned but as OSMand doesn't have a list of valid cuisines I was probably thrown off by the "Arabic" in name of the place. Fixed. | |
| 3 | 2025-04-29 12:13 | Mateusz Konieczny ♦7,666 | and thanks for mapping it in the first place!And for fixing it!(likely this kind of things can be fixed automatically, but for ones where I have any doubts at all I prefer to ask at least some people) | |
| 79145783 by mbethke @ 2020-01-03 08:05 | 1 | 2024-04-02 14:34 | Mateusz Konieczny ♦7,666 | Hello! https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5253932967/history has access:foot = permissive that was added in this edit (if I checked things correctly)Would using foot access tag (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:foot ) be fitting at least equally well? |
| 2 | 2024-04-02 19:01 | mbethke | Hi,sure, thanks for noticing—I'm quite sure I misinterpreted "permissive" as "it's technically private but you don't have to ask" here, so foot=yes should be more appropriate anyway. Fixed. | |
| 113548382 by mbethke @ 2021-11-09 05:25 | 1 | 2023-07-19 06:20 | user_5359 ♦19,415 | Hello! Please take a look on https://www.osm.org/way/1000695194. What is the mean of the tag fee:yes = #b0a060? |
| 2 | 2023-07-22 03:36 | mbethke | Hi! Good point, that's probably a typo—mixup between fee=yes and building:colour. Fixed in #138836673.cheers,Matthias | |
| 130483667 by rab @ 2022-12-25 14:05 | 1 | 2023-03-28 06:49 | mbethke | Hi,this is the last change to the Ubungo/Mawasiliano bus route:https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5640576Do you happen to have some local knowledge here or was this just a technical update? I'm inclined to believe it doesn't exist any more, or at least not here, because large pa... |
| 2 | 2023-03-28 15:43 | rab ♦566 | Hi,as you have already guessed, it was just a technical edit following the update of a nearby intersection. I simply closed the gaps. | |
| 3 | 2023-03-29 06:16 | mbethke | OK thanks :) Guess I'll just remove it, it's suspiciously short for a bus route anyway.cheers,Matthias | |
| 130778180 by mbethke @ 2023-01-02 09:14 | 1 | 2023-03-10 16:35 | whb ♦615 | Guten Tag,wenn sich hier https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10300112380 jetzt ein Parkscheinautomat befindet, dann ist der Parkplatz https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/852325531 vermutlich nicht mehr kostenlos?Viele Grüßewhb |
| 2 | 2023-03-10 17:11 | mbethke | Guter Punkt, ist mir nicht aufgefallen. Das war aber im Urlaub, jetzt kann ich nicht mehr nachschauen, was das kostet. fee=yes ist sicher nicht verkehrt.LG | |
| 114098015 by Benedcto Adamu @ 2021-11-22 13:07 | 1 | 2021-11-23 11:09 | mueschel ♦6,575 | This looks like an import of data. Please make sure you follow the guidelines for such imports:https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/GuidelinesTo me it seems quite questionable that there are a dozen insurance offices within one city block. |
| 2 | 2021-11-26 13:58 | Benedcto Adamu ♦2 | We are still working to updates the data ,we are expecting to complete at the mid of next week. | |
| 3 | 2021-11-27 10:39 | mueschel ♦6,575 | Dumping data into OSM for later refinement is not according to the Import Guidelines. I strongly recommend to revert these additions for now. Then you can restart the import once the requirements given in the guidelines have been fulfilled. | |
| 4 | 2022-02-23 04:47 | user_5359 ♦19,415 | Hello! What is the meaning of the key office_tags? | |
| 5 | 2022-08-28 09:59 | mbethke | This is still not fixed after 9 months and I agree it's extremely dubious. Some "Ranger Insurance" POIs are mapped (plausibly if way too many) as companies while others are supposedly office=government. Please revert if you can't fix it. | |
| 6 | 2022-08-28 10:17 | mueschel ♦6,575 | At least 550 of these POIs are definitely wrong as they are added to all nodes of buildings.Google doesn't know anything about "Rangers Insurance" in Dar es Salaam, apart from the usual pages scraping data from OSM. | |
| 7 | 2022-08-28 15:12 | mbethke | Add to that completely bogus combinations like office=company, operator_type=ngo … as the author doesn't seem to be active ATM, if you agree I'll just go ahead and revert it as far as possible. | |
| 8 | 2022-08-30 17:57 | user_5359 ♦19,415 | I have reverted this change set! | |
| 122099976 by mbethke @ 2022-06-08 06:10 | 1 | 2022-06-08 17:35 | WoSoe ♦105 | building=terrace beschreibt einen ganzen Häuserblock und kein einzelnes Haus. Siehe hier:https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Tag:building=terrace?uselang=deVorher war es eigentlich richtig. |
| 2 | 2022-06-09 05:47 | mbethke | Oha, danke für den Hinweis, die entsprechende Option in StreetComplete hab ich ja offenbar komplett missverstanden. Klar, "row houses" ist Plural ... da muss ich gleich noch mal ein paar andere Changesets von dieser Woche durchgehen und das fixen. | |
| 115131125 by Chathura Kulathilaka @ 2021-12-19 16:01 | 1 | 2021-12-19 17:06 | mbethke | Sorry, there's no way this is a primary highway, I'll have to revert this. Guess it wasn't intentional?cheers,Matthias |
| 113612176 by Kowsiya27 @ 2021-11-10 14:56 | 1 | 2021-11-10 15:55 | mbethke | Hi,that was just an untagged node, I just removed it ;)cheers,Matthias |
| 91562043 by Cristina Bermudez @ 2020-09-26 19:32 | 1 | 2021-07-11 11:35 | mbethke | Hola,porfa no lo pones el nombre genérico de "vivienda" o "terreno baldio" a los objetos (mucho menos en mayúsculas) - eso es que ya significa el tag "building=house" ou "landuse=greenfield". Algunas casas o terrenos sí tienen nombre - &... |

Consulte https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/183941976Eliminaré una de estas rutas para evitar errores superpuestos. |
| 2 | 2021-06-24 12:13 | mbethke | Ups, gracias para repararlo! Ni pensé que todavá existen estas cosas del inici de mi carrera OSM ;)saludos cordiales,Matthias | |

| 106805657 by Priyantha Bandara @ 2021-06-23 03:20 | 1 | 2021-06-23 08:57 | mbethke | I'd rather you stopped adding nonsense than having to delete all of it, but I can keep doing that as well. |
| 106759932 by Priyantha Bandara @ 2021-06-22 08:05 | 1 | 2021-06-22 11:19 | mbethke | What on earth are you doing? |
| 106692753 by Priyantha Bandara @ 2021-06-21 05:59 | 1 | 2021-06-21 08:08 | mbethke | That doesn't quite sound right either. Especially out there in the shrubs. |
| 106694213 by Priyantha Bandara @ 2021-06-21 06:23 | 1 | 2021-06-21 07:18 | mbethke | That's a strange name for a bakery :D Guess you got the POI type wrong... |
| 105855111 by mbethke @ 2021-06-04 18:25 | 1 | 2021-06-08 08:10 | BCNorwich ♦4,857 | Hi, You are duplicating a lot of highways, placing one atop another. |
| 2 | 2021-06-08 16:53 | mbethke | Aw crap, thanks for the heads-up! I thought I had fixed it after JOSM crashed and I got a whole bunch of conflicts of exactly that type, but apparently some were not detected. Any tool you can recommend for checking what I still have to fix? | |
| 3 | 2021-06-08 17:07 | BCNorwich ♦4,857 | Hi, I saw the duplicates while roaming about on this permalink:- http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=routing&lon=79.97101&lat=6.79683&zoom=13&overlays=duplicated_edgesI have removed all the shown duplicates, they will disappear from that map tomorrow. I just wanted to let you kn... | |
| 4 | 2021-06-08 17:15 | mbethke | OK, I found if I just reload it in JOSM and let it do a validation, that catches it. I'll go fix it. | |
| 100457526 by Basnayake @ 2021-03-05 04:25 | 1 | 2021-03-24 05:21 | mbethke | Hi,as I explained previously, please don't tag social_facility all over the place. Also "house" is not a name.cheers,Matthias |
| 100453451 by Basnayake @ 2021-03-05 02:18 | 1 | 2021-03-05 07:02 | mbethke | Hi,please use building=house for houses. social_facility=group_home is not the right category.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:social_facility%3Dgroup_home |
| 100435336 by aikiaiks @ 2021-03-04 16:41 | 1 | 2021-03-05 06:25 | mbethke | Hi,when you add new ways, please make sure you connect them to existing ones. The editor warns you about this when saving, don't just ignore that. Otherwise the ways won't be reachable from anywhere.cheers,Matthias |
| 97628556 by Mrsameera89 @ 2021-01-17 08:18 | 1 | 2021-01-19 06:54 | mbethke | Hi,please have a look at the established landuse values at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuselanduse=Paddy doesn't work.cheers,Matthias |
| 94288461 by Pasan Akalanka @ 2020-11-17 15:31 | 1 | 2020-12-07 11:25 | mbethke | Hi,the street "Rilawala Dola" you added here can't possibly exist like this. It crosses the main road without connection and ends in the river. Also, there is no trace of it on any satellite imagery, not even Google's that seems to be from 2020. I'll remove that one and it... |
| 94272153 by Anupa Manujith @ 2020-11-17 11:23 | 1 | 2020-11-19 14:03 | mbethke | Hi,this doesn't make sense - you've added "landuse=orchard" to buildings. They look more like actual buildings than tiny tea gardens, don't they? |
| 93436535 by SL_Mapper @ 2020-11-02 18:53 | 1 | 2020-11-05 17:41 | mbethke | Hi,you've got some tags mixed up here: a bridge over water is a *viaduct*, an *aqueduct* is one that carries a river, canal or pipeline over something else. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bridge=aqueduct?uselang=encheers,Matthias |
| 2 | 2020-11-05 18:16 | SL_Mapper ♦7 | Thanks for the info. | |
| 92764355 by Nuwantha sachin @ 2020-10-20 11:21 | 1 | 2020-11-03 11:59 | mbethke | Hi Nuwantha,road=highway won't work as a highway tag, it has to be highway=road. But only use "road" if you really don't know any better - small stubs serving only a single building are best classified as highway=service service=driveway; somewhat bigger ones as highway=living_... |
| 92567878 by sunali madushika @ 2020-10-16 08:16 | 1 | 2020-10-28 08:50 | mbethke | Hi Sunali,you deleted some building tags here but left the ways in. Now I don't really know what you meant: are there actually no buildings or was the deletion a mistake?cheers,Matthias |
| 92504986 by Madushani Ganga @ 2020-10-15 06:26 | 1 | 2020-10-22 05:02 | mbethke | Hi,when mapping highways, please remember to tag by importance, not appearance. If it has a name, it may be a very bad, unpaved way, but it's likely at least highway=residential; if the name has "Road" in it, maybe even highway=unclassified if it's a connection between villag... |
| 2 | 2020-10-22 07:09 | mbethke | Oh, one more thing: if it looks like a track on the ground, adding a surface=* tag is helpful surface=unpaved as the most general, or dirt or gravel if you know it in more detail. | |
| 92464600 by Kavindu Jayashantha @ 2020-10-14 10:03 | 1 | 2020-10-22 04:31 | mbethke | Hi,is this temple really an improvised building? With >300 square feet of cement floor?cheers,Matthias |
| 92462692 by Nuwan chathuranga @ 2020-10-14 09:33 | 1 | 2020-10-21 05:33 | mbethke | Hi!somehow road=highway seem to be a company idiom with you guys, I think I've seen that from Madushani Ganga, too ;)highway=road would work, although "road" should only be used if the kind of road can't be determined. Here it's most likely highway=residential.Cheers... |

| 91703006 by Wynona Ryder @ 2020-09-29 11:10 | 1 | 2020-09-29 18:11 | mbethke | Hi,natural=water is not wrong for reservoirs, AFAIR the recommended tagging is both landuse=reservoir, reservoir_type=water_storage *and* natural=water water=reservoir.cheers,Matthias |
| 91435510 by Ruminda12 @ 2020-09-24 12:39 | 1 | 2020-09-24 14:11 | mbethke | As I said, please don't invent your own tags. I see you're trying to add something very detailed, obviously with good will and a purpose, but in the context of OSM this is mostly garbage data that other people can't use. "building=abandoned" is deprecated in favor of "a... |

If you're doing data entry on behalf of an LGU or something, please coordinate on whether you could use an own namespace or something. Chances are much of this data (e.g. &qu... |
| 90687931 by RalfCheng @ 2020-09-10 08:38 | 1 | 2020-09-22 18:51 | mbethke | Hi,have you checked these on the ground? Would be good to have a name for the restaurants and at least a religion for the places of worship.Cheers,Matthias |
| 90687357 by Dhivyen @ 2020-09-10 08:29 | 1 | 2020-09-22 09:23 | mbethke | Careful when iD gives you warnings about crossing highways and such, they usually have to be fixed! It may look sort-of OK on the rendered map but routing gets confused and generally a map like this will not be very usable.cheers,Matthias |
| 90327791 by Apurwa @ 2020-09-03 00:59 | 1 | 2020-09-03 03:33 | mbethke | Hi,I suppose things like psychiatry are not exactly a specialty of the government veterinary? I changed it to amenity=veterinary; healthcare=* is for humans.cheers,Matthias |

"tourism=information" is meant for signboards or information offices that exist as physical objects. For yours, I just added a "direction" attribute to the paths leading to Yensabai and Tad Mook.cheers,Mat... |

| 2 | 2020-08-19 15:36 | mbethke | Oops, sorry, disregard that - just noticed you were the one who fixed some of the mess \tKarunanithy1973 made :)cheers,Matthias | |
| 87166077 by ahilen @ 2020-06-26 03:52 | 1 | 2020-06-26 08:15 | mbethke | Hi, are you sure about that classification change? Would be nice if you added a bit more descriptive comments to your changesets, because you can't really see from Bing whether something is a tertiary or secondary road.cheers,Matthias |
| 86950776 by Subha Gunasekara @ 2020-06-22 02:09 | 1 | 2020-06-23 06:21 | mbethke | Hi, thanks for your additions!You don't have to use so many nodes though - if a stretch of way is straight, additional nodes don't add any useful information, they just increase the data volume. Also, please make sure to actually tag your ways and possibly connect them to existing street... |
| 86686569 by newRaaste @ 2020-06-15 20:22 | 1 | 2020-06-19 05:28 | mbethke | Careful with the tag values, they are case sensitive! junction=yes works, junction=Yes doesn't. I just fixed it. |

| 86159529 by anuananya @ 2020-06-04 02:46 | 1 | 2020-06-09 03:18 | mbethke | Hi,careful, I just checked with several aerial images, and those don't appear to be roads at all, they're canals! You can distinguish them by the dark color; highways are usually unpaved and dust/sand-colored in this area.cheers,Matthias |
| 85126870 by NilanthaRajapakse @ 2020-05-13 07:25 | 1 | 2020-05-13 17:54 | mbethke | Hi Nilantha,that's somewhat unusual tagging there, please don't do it like this. For one thing, "0+647" is surely not the name of the stream as local people know it? If it's some reference number from watershed management, it should go into a "ref" tag. The oth... |
| 85091858 by Nick117 @ 2020-05-12 14:20 | 1 | 2020-05-13 11:14 | mbethke | Hi Nick,highway=unclassified is a bit of an overstatement for these ways. Maybe they could pass for tracks or living streets (surface=unpaved smoothness=bad/very_bad) but most seem barely suitable for an enduro motorcycle or an offroad jeep. An unclassified highway is expected to have some through... |
| 84683636 by Dimesh @ 2020-05-05 09:56 | 1 | 2020-05-12 17:55 | mbethke | Hi Dimesh, thanks for your additions!Keep ind mind though that nodes on a straight way don't add anything useful - you can get basically the same rendered result with fewer than a quarter of the nodes you used. Have a look how it is now that I used JOSM's "simplify" function o... |

Most of those I'd say are residential streets at best - unclassified highways are usually interconnections, and something being a dead-end street is a pretty good indication that ... |

You have to pay better attention to the shape of your buildings, that's some pretty sloppy drawing there. Often your trace is way bigger than the actual building (zoom in closer!), sometimes it covers several buildings in one. If buildings look skewed ... |
| 82971590 by Joong13 @ 2020-04-02 10:14 | 1 | 2020-04-04 15:57 | mbethke | Hi, thanks for your additions!One thing as you asked for a review: most buildings have a rectangular or at least right-angled shape, so you can use iD's "square" function to make them neater.cheers,Matthias |
| 82795883 by Karunanithy1973 @ 2020-03-30 00:31 | 1 | 2020-03-30 04:38 | mbethke | Hi,you had stopped doing that annoying name-tagging "lanes" and "layer" thing already, now you're starting again. Please don't.cheers,Matthias |
| 82801155 by ChiefT @ 2020-03-30 04:09 | 1 | 2020-03-30 04:34 | mbethke | Hi, thanks for your additions!There's no need to use that many nodes though. If a stretch of way is straight between two nodes, any indermediate nodes don't add any useful information, they just make for more work for renderers and routers.cheers,Matthias |

Lo que quieres es un arbol, "natural=tree". El tipo se puede agregar en species=*, mejor no como nombre.saludos,Matthias |
| 81430014 by daRamses @ 2020-02-25 02:37 | 1 | 2020-03-02 14:18 | mbethke | Is all of Mahosot closed or just this one building? |
| 2 | 2020-03-02 17:57 | daRamses ♦1 | No, just the parts south east like the international clinic. They are building a new Hospital on these grounds. | |

No lo veo en las fotos satelitales pero obviamente puede ser que son muy viejas. Es así mismo?saludos,Matthias |

Not every area that has a handful of trees growing on it (it's literally five of them in front of the Forestry department - if I can still trust Bing and they haven't cut down any of them yet) is a forest. Same with the gardens. If yo... |

Did you want to link the English one? wikipedia=en:Tissa Wewa (Anuradhapura) should be used then to explicitly state the language. And then the wikidata=Q20823336 should match as well.CamelCaseNick |

Actually I typed that prefix but Android being Android, it seems it just got overwritten when I pasted the rest from the browser m(Just noticed the location was off a fair bit to the north in Wikipedia so I fixed that, too.cheers,Matthias | |

As most of these houses seem to be close to rectangular, remember there's a menu in iD (right-click on the new shape) where you can make all angles right angles. Looks even better that way.cheers,Matthias |

Didn't you just want to upgrade that to highway=tertiary? If not, you have to remove it, otherwise there will be confusion.cheers,Matthias |

| 2 | 2020-01-17 06:42 | ruporrr ♦1 | Hello! There are two hospitals in this territory, which have different names and different buildings. | |
| 3 | 2020-01-19 05:29 | mbethke | OK, thanks! I guess someone should make a separate area for that at some point but for now I'll just add the buildings :)cheers,Matthias | |

| 79664722 by Alejandra Duque Ropero @ 2020-01-16 20:13 | 1 | 2020-01-17 04:32 | mbethke | Also, parking_aisle ... no :)Looks like tagging for the renderer, to make that street look smaller, right? It's also a small unpaved street serving all the residential area. highway=service was wrong before already of course.cheers,Matthias |

JOSM should warn you about issues like this before upload - please fix all errors and warnings like this when you add data. Otherwise your work is basically lost as it won't show up anywhere without tags.cheers,Matthias |

Because from what I see on Bing here, the southern and northeastern bit of that loop is definitely an irrigation canal, not a highway. I'd say unclassified is fine for the southernmost stretch, but the northern one should be a grass or dirt track.I mi... |

What are all these tags about? access=no means absolutely no public access, but then all kinds of traffic is allowed again? That doesn't work. asphalt with tracktype=grade2 doesn't make sense either, and this is not a bridge. Only living_street looks OK according to imagery. |

They don't really add any useful information but inflate the data volume and makle routing slower. As you're using JOSM, you could try selecting a way and pressing "Y" ("simplify way").

Bing imagery is quite old here, if you use the layer icon to switch to Maxar, you'll see them. I just added them back in as for some reason reverting didn't work.cheers,Matthias |

Something like a track or a living street is usable by all kinds of traffic by default, so adding something like "bicycle=yes" does nothing. That... |

However, "landuse" is more for larger areas dedicated for a certain use - when mapping individual buildings, better use building=industrial.

| 2 | 2019-09-29 17:07 | Martiniturbide ♦3 | Matthias.Te refieres a poner algo como "addr:predio" = :<numero> ??Saludos. | |
| 3 | 2019-10-03 05:26 | mbethke | Sí, exactamente. Para registrar la misma información que ya pusiste en "predio", solo que "predio" no es un tag estabelecido así que un software o alguien que no habla Español no sabe que forma parte de la dirección. | |

Please remmeber though to name things only with their actual names - "fuel station" is what it *is*, and that's what its POI type amenity=fuel says already.

| 74651879 by MJB100 @ 2019-09-19 04:27 | 1 | 2019-09-19 05:57 | mbethke | Is this a hostel or a doctor's? Both names and physical tags are contradictory. |
| 2 | 2019-09-19 14:03 | MJB100 ♦1 | It's a hostel above a hospital. | |

One was connected to a boundary, I suppose you meant to connect it with the track a few meters north of it? And is there really no connection between those two ways across what looks like a construction site? |

Just a note though: it doesn't really hurt to add some tags, but they're not all that useful either. E.g. don't add internet_access=no unless everybody would expect there to be internet access; usually you add it only if there i... |

Ich hatte das noch als Erdstraße eingetragen (surface=ground).Und die südliche Straße, hamse da endlich die Brücke fertig gemacht? Nach nur so 5 oder 6 Jahren? :D |

| 73303008 by ravindasenarath @ 2019-08-13 11:24 | 1 | 2019-08-27 09:11 | mbethke | Is the road coming from the south really unconnected now? |
| 2 | 2019-08-27 12:30 | ravindasenarath ♦1 | Yes. Since they cut cross the hill to make the road it is steep hill on the both sides of the road. That road might have changed and ran parallel and joined to 120 from somewhere else. I'm not very sure on that. I usually travel along 120. I can check that sometime though. | |
| 3 | 2019-08-27 15:56 | mbethke | Thanks! Just wanted to make sure as it looked kinda strange :) | |
| 73749854 by bounthom @ 2019-08-26 12:21 | 1 | 2019-08-27 07:14 | mbethke | Hi,that's better already :) Just another thing: please don't mix Lao and English in one tag. Lao goes in "name" and "name:lo", English in "name:en". Normally you will see only Lao on the map but some renderers will show both: https://www.openstreetmap.de/kar... |
| 73719542 by bounthom @ 2019-08-25 15:02 | 1 | 2019-08-26 08:08 | mbethke | Thanks for the additions, good to have more Lao names tagged here. But please use name:lo for Lao. You can also overwrite any English name in "name" without suffix if you want, just leave the English name in name:en.Cheers,Matthias |
| 73688555 by NilanthaRajapakse @ 2019-08-24 04:55 | 1 | 2019-08-26 07:55 | mbethke | Hi,that way with a "surface" tag doesn't really make sense. I suppose it should have been waterway=stream, but inside the lake (landuse=reservoir, reservoir_type=water_storage would probably be better for man-made catchments) that's also not really clear.cheers,Matthias |
| 73186182 by Natalie Ogden @ 2019-08-09 10:01 | 1 | 2019-08-23 08:09 | mbethke | Are you sure about the Curry Leaf Hostel? The name tag, website etc. still refer to Pedlar's Inn, and PI's website seems to say it's still at that place. |
| 2 | 2019-08-23 13:41 | Natalie Ogden ♦1 | Yes, the owner of Pedlars Inn sold the business and the new owner took it over, calling the hostel Curry leaf. He is in the transition of changing the name. Pedlars Inn no longer exists. | |

| 2 | 2019-07-22 10:23 | likhors ♦2 | It is not a bus stop. It is the only way I found to indicate that this road is paved all the way, and not unpaved as indicated on maps.me.I cannot access openstreetmaps with my 2g connection, I can only use maps.me app, but there I cannot find a method to correct reaod information.

It's sitting in the middle of the road now so I'll move it a bit north, that looks like the most likely location on aerial imagery. Feel free to fix if that's wrong. |
| 2 | 2019-07-22 10:21 | likhors ♦2 | No it is a railway bridge above the raod (as explained) but I do not knw how to indicate a railway bridge.

| 72320834 by abram4uk @ 2019-07-16 19:40 | 1 | 2019-07-18 04:21 | mbethke | Hi,those POI types don't really match their names. It looks like they're shops so I changed them to shop=greengrocer for now, although the name suggests they might be some outdoor stalls better mapped as amenity-marketplace?cheers,Matthias |

If you don't know it or can't spell the Lao, that's not a problem, you can leave it blank and someone else will probably fill it in.cheers,Matthias |
| 67607338 by Jordy s @ 2019-02-27 07:05 | 1 | 2019-03-14 09:26 | mbethke | Has Noy moved here from downtown? |
| 2 | 2019-05-08 03:14 | Jordy s ♦1 | I don't know if they moved. Because i did not visit the downtown location just came across this while walking. And was familiar with noys fruit haven. So thought it would be nice to mark it for other people! Sorry for late response. | |
| 3 | 2019-05-14 09:31 | mbethke | No problem :) I just wondered because they'd been downtown for years and sometimes people make mappings that are kilometers off the real spot - and I'm not in Vientiane any more. If you found it there, perfect. | |

| 2 | 2019-05-06 14:40 | mbethke | Hups, sieht ganz so aus ;) Danke fürs aufpassen, wird gleich gefixt! | |
| 69796196 by Saskiagruender @ 2019-05-02 09:39 | 1 | 2019-05-05 11:21 | mbethke | Sure about the POI type? It's called "Ban Lue Handicrafts" but is not craft=handicraft but amenity=cafe? |
| 51866769 by MandyMoslow @ 2017-09-08 23:37 | 1 | 2019-04-24 10:07 | Tom Layo ♦37 | There does not seem to be any village here. |
| 2 | 2019-04-24 14:33 | mbethke | It does look rather green on aerial imagery ;) Considering the latter is less than a year and a half old here (DigitalGlobe Premium that is) I suppose that village node was supposed to go somewhere else. Mandy? | |
| 69418276 by pchaillet @ 2019-04-21 07:49 | 1 | 2019-04-23 11:45 | mbethke | Hi,the name change looks legit to me but I'm quite sure the river doesn't run in a culvert for several dozen kilometers there. Can you fix this, please?cheers,Matthias |
| 2 | 2019-04-23 15:08 | pchaillet ♦1 | Hello Matthias,I am completely new to OSM. I thought it was easy, it is not. My intention was to correct the name of this river. The Nam Xe is a tributary of Xe Banghiang and the Nam Xe run in Laos only on 4 to 5 km. The Xe Banghiang run in Laos form the Vietnam border (North of Nam Xe) to the M... | |
| 3 | 2019-04-23 15:26 | mbethke | No problem, I just removed the "layer=-1" and "tunnel=culvert" tags from that stretch of the river east of Ban Sopkonti. I can imagine iD is not much fun to use on a phone ;) When you're back home, have a look at JOSM -- it's weird at first but when you get the hang of ... | |
| 4 | 2019-04-23 15:40 | pchaillet ♦1 | Thanks a lot Matthias,I am used to travel in this area (old remnants of Ho Chi Minh trail, route 92) and I wanted to add some tracks, but as it looked pretty difficult, I began with a mere name change...

| 68666687 by mij-ch @ 2019-03-29 14:06 | 1 | 2019-04-07 04:30 | mbethke | Moin,das bringt so nix, da weitere Namen hinzuzufügen - zumal "Banana Leaf" ja auch kein Deutsch ist (wahrscheinlich benutzt dein maps.me da automatisch ein name:de statt "name"?). Wenn ein POI einen *offiziellen* deutschen Namen hat, dann kann man den schon eintragen, ab... |

| 2 | 2019-03-28 07:44 | whameful ♦1 | It's both. They have a small bar with very nice interior and friendly service but they also act as a wholesaler for international beer brands. | |
| 3 | 2019-03-29 07:37 | mbethke | Thanks! I'll just leave both nodes in then for now; I'm not sure what's supposed to happen if one tags a node both shop and amenity. | |

There's a separate "denomination" tag to store that it's a Catholic church, and places of worship can also have a service_times tag that can hold any number of services during the week.Cheers... |

| 2 | 2019-02-12 15:51 | Oliver Haeusler ♦1 | It's Tim's Guesthouse | |
| 3 | 2019-02-13 07:07 | mbethke | Thank you, just fixed it! | |
| 67063459 by M-maps @ 2019-02-10 04:22 | 1 | 2019-02-12 12:50 | mbethke | Hi,remember always give a "physical" tag to nodes like this. Here it would be natural=peak as that's what it is.cheers,Matthias |
| 66985623 by M-maps @ 2019-02-07 07:10 | 1 | 2019-02-12 07:16 | mbethke | Hi,best to make this a tagged node on the waterway itself with waterway=waterfall. That way it will also show up correctly in the rendering. |

| 66687773 by siffash @ 2019-01-27 21:27 | 1 | 2019-01-28 01:38 | mbethke | Good catch! Just wondering: what's "name:ceb"? I do most of my mapping in Laos and often face this dilemma of how to tag romanized Lao. |
| 2 | 2019-01-28 09:38 | siffash ♦5 | Hi mbethke! Thank you for your contribution! I just checked this information in wikipedia. | |
| 3 | 2019-01-28 12:00 | mbethke | Yeah, the names are fine, I was just wondering about the tag. "name:en" for English, "name:lo" for Lao, and "name:ceb" for what? | |
| 4 | 2019-01-28 12:08 | siffash ♦5 | Hi mbethke, "ceb" stands for Cebuano language:https://ceb.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muang_Viangthong_(distrito_sa_Houaphan)You can see the list of the languages in the left column on the wikipedia article, currently for Viengthong District they are:CebuanoEnglishEspañolItaliano... | |
| 5 | 2019-01-29 05:29 | mbethke | Ahh sure, makes sense - it's just the first time I see it on OSM. If it had said "distrito sa Houaphan" I'd probably have recognized it; I lived basically next door (Bacolod) for a few years ;) | |
| 6 | 2019-01-29 09:24 | siffash ♦5 | haha right :) for a reference you can always check with wikipedia, google maps, or google translate (it often works for geographical places as well) | |

I found it quite practical to have shared nodes so if you adjusted some roads ike or new imagery you'd automatically adjust the areas they separate, but I don't know if there's some standard on how that's supposed to be done.chee... |
| 2 | 2019-01-19 09:50 | Beager ♦10 | Generally, after I’ve referred to other more detailed cities around the world, I noted that it’s seperated.

| 3 | 2019-01-22 03:05 | mbethke | Hi Brendan,that makes sense! Some searching on the forums produced this:https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/5352/should-the-edges-of-landuse-or-boundary-areas-share-points-with-streets-that-form-their-borders?So yeah, both methods seem to be fine depending on what makes your work easier... | |

| 65219514 by saranotsarah @ 2018-12-05 22:07 | 1 | 2018-12-10 07:58 | mbethke | Hi,"primary_link" is fine for the little u-turn connections between primary roads. I think routing software would prefer one to stay on the same kind of road so changing to residential could lead to detours when you have to turn.cheers,Matthias |
| 2 | 2018-12-10 21:39 | saranotsarah ♦3 | Hello Matthias,I had changed the highway classification of way 221467937 to residential because it connects the residential road (way 25807787) to both sides of the primary dual carriageway.†hanks,Sara | |
| 3 | 2018-12-11 06:27 | mbethke | Yeah it does, and I used to do it like that for a while, too. But when you look at the streets themselves, it looks much more a part of Route 13 - being paved for example, unlike the two residential streets. If it's a primary_link, a router *might* be able to recognize a u-turn as such, but if ... | |
| 4 | 2018-12-11 19:55 | saranotsarah ♦3 | Hi Matthias,I think it would depend on the routing engine, but I'm ok with keeping it how you have it.Thanks,Sara | |
| 5 | 2019-01-18 08:11 | mbethke | Hi Sara,gotta get back to that and apologize, please do continue the way you did when there's a crossing way. Some digging in the Wiki revealed I've been doing it wrong for quite a while. Sorry about that!cheers,Matthias | |

Is this perhaps an area that belong to DWC but isn't their office?cheers,Matthias |

| 65229959 by To souvanhkham @ 2018-12-06 08:11 | 1 | 2018-12-10 07:55 | mbethke | So Ban Nam Poun is incorrect? Maybe you could add the Lao name as well! |
| 65224783 by Julian Nevin @travelwithjulian @ 2018-12-06 03:51 | 1 | 2018-12-10 07:54 | mbethke | That doesn't make sense. Is it a hotel or a bookmaker? |

Please remember though to name things only with their *name* -- "tea house maiyou" sounds about right, "35-45 bath" certainly isn't the name of a restaurant. You can still put comments like that in the description.cheers,Matthias |

| 64569206 by weltanschauer @ 2018-11-16 14:26 | 1 | 2018-11-20 07:07 | mbethke | Good catch :)Ich hab gerade noch ein paar Namen hinzugefügt bzw. "Khaysone Phomviane" zum official_name gemacht, weil die Laoten auch mehrheitlich Savannakhet zu bevorzugen scheinen. |
| 64392003 by kartonage @ 2018-11-12 04:26 | 1 | 2018-11-13 05:51 | mbethke | Dankeschön, das wollte ich auch grad machen ;) |
| 64409226 by Claude Thomassin @ 2018-11-12 14:55 | 1 | 2018-11-13 03:47 | mbethke | Hi Claude,please don't put stuff like this in the "name" field. It's like renaming Clichy-sous-Bois to "Clichy-sous-Bois (arabs)" on the map. You could add a "description" tag if that's the major thing the village is famous for.cheers,Matthias |

Lo he quitado ese tag, igual que el "pequeno muelle" - ya hay un man_made=pier allí, "marina" en inglés es un p... |

Please don't enter something like "temple" or "school" as a name because that's not what their name is. It's fine to leave it empty if you don't know t... |

O de verdad son puntos donde se puede tomar agua y llenar una botella? Mira la descripción aquí: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Ddrinking_watersaludos,Matthias |
| 61829516 by Tumy Chan Seed @ 2018-08-20 16:45 | 1 | 2018-08-21 03:33 | mbethke | Hi,just wondering, this is in the middle of the roudabout? And a tourist apartment called "Resettlement office"...? What kind of POI is this?cheers,Matthias |
| 61672699 by Gaw Gyi @ 2018-08-15 00:13 | 1 | 2018-08-15 05:31 | mbethke | This is clearly a village, and "myanmar" is not a source. Please don't do this. |

You could add a "description" tag if you like, although price information usually just goes out of date fairly quickly so you end up with old and useless info in the database.\... |
| 61582543 by Andrea Rea @ 2018-08-12 08:43 | 1 | 2018-08-13 14:28 | mbethke | Sorry, had to revert this one. Benoni is next door. Besides, you'd have to change or at least delete all the other info like Lao name and website, too.cheers,Matthias |
| 61571247 by Magdalena_Zaa @ 2018-08-11 17:58 | 1 | 2018-08-12 06:57 | mbethke | Hi Magdalena, thanks for your update! I removed the cafe tagging from this building. The preferred method in a case like this would be to just open a map note so it would pop up as a "bug" on people's maps if they chose to see notes, until someone fixes it.cheers,Matthias |
| 61251490 by Lau Ming Yin @ 2018-08-01 07:00 | 1 | 2018-08-01 09:08 | mbethke | Hi,thanks for your additions! Note you can also bunch several of them together and draw a few houses (and other things) before saving. Makes it easier to keep an overview of what changed recently.cheers,Matthias |
| 61210967 by mbethke @ 2018-07-30 23:26 | 1 | 2018-07-31 08:22 | mbethke | Hi,thanks for your addition! Could you try though to separate the names in different languages? I'm not sure how that works with Maps.ME but usually the Lao name should be in name:lo and the English one in name:en, with Lao also in "name" without a language tag.cheers,Matthias |
| 61032018 by jeepneysurvey @ 2018-07-24 17:41 | 1 | 2018-07-26 15:21 | mbethke | Hm, I think @lordBen was quite right in his classification of those tracks. Some of those seem quite clearly defined where they cross the rice fields but in my experience these parts turn into smoothness=horrible or worse in rainy season. In fact I'd have classified some of them as mere paths, ... |
| 61032317 by lordBen @ 2018-07-24 17:52 | 1 | 2018-07-25 17:14 | mbethke | Carful with those way classes! Some of these are barely tracks and paths, not unclassified highways. A highway should ususally be usable with a car, these here are for Carabao. |
| 61032404 by lordBen @ 2018-07-24 17:55 | 1 | 2018-07-25 16:58 | mbethke | Sorry, those are definitely not highways. They were surveyed as streams long ago and they still look very much like it on aerial imagery. Please don't reclassify stuff like that lightly, it's highly confusing. |

For "secrete entrance" it's not clear what it refers to - entrance to what? "no bridge" is an attribute someone should add to the bridge (I just added status=impassable), not a POI.c... |

I was wondering though, is "Lao Massage (and good waxing)" actually the name that you can find on a sign there or something?

Viewpoints, waterfalls, monuments...? Something tagged tourism=attraction should always have a tag explaining *what* it is.cheers,Matthias |
| 2 | 2018-03-25 01:35 | Alvaro Maldonado ♦1 | Hello Mattians, they are not attractions... It is the route for the track you should take if you want to do the 100 waterfall track. I am not sure how do you upload a route, so i was marking my location every some amount of meters i walked. | |
| 3 | 2018-03-29 15:22 | mbethke | OK, I can convert them into a coarse route and mark it to be validated by someone. Usually you take something that can log to GPX (OSMand is a good one on Android) and later upload that file containing the track. | |
| 57612617 by Bomi Ham @ 2018-03-28 20:10 | 1 | 2018-03-29 07:29 | mbethke | I guess you mapped this before, right? Sorry, there are no historic castles here. There's a house made to look vaguely like one, but that's not the same. |

The type for a temple is amenity=place_of_worship (usually with religion=buddhist here); don't enter a name if you don't know it ("Temple" is not it, they... |

| 57131094 by Sisouvan @ 2018-03-13 03:40 | 1 | 2018-03-16 07:29 | mbethke | Another thing, please make sure to always add "physical tags" that describe *what* something is. Here, that's amenity=place_of_worship. Or natural=peak for the mountain you added a few days ago, see http://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=57232694 |

If the shop calls itself a bakery but sells sweet stuff, I think shop=pastry (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dpastry) would be more appropriate than shop=confectionery (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dconfectioner... |

I just fixed one thing: rather than adding "free" to the name, it's better to add an extra tag "fee=no".

| 2 | 2017-09-07 18:15 | MandyMoslow ♦2 | Hi Matthias,I was trying to map based on the OSM Wiki’s definition of unclassified but looks like residential is better here. I will look over my edits again and make changes.Thank you,Mandy | |

If everybody did that, we'd have thousands of "My house" places and nobody could tell them apart anyway.- Same with &qu... |
| 51060281 by Danny Ldv (Danni) @ 2017-08-12 14:54 | 1 | 2017-08-13 14:04 | mbethke | Are you sure there is a viewpoint there? Near Dongdok? Sounds dubious to me. |
| 50860680 by Beager @ 2017-08-05 11:45 | 1 | 2017-08-05 16:36 | mbethke | Hi Beager,that's a strange phone number for Vientiane. Sure it's not 021 (VTE landline) or 020 (cellphone)?By the way, it's always a good idea to canonicalize numbers to international format, i.e. leave off the 0 and add +856 for Laos.cheers,Matthias |
| 2 | 2017-08-05 18:28 | Beager ♦10 | Hey Matthias,I've fixed the number (missing the 0) and changed it to the +856 format.I've also added the name in Lao. | |
| 3 | 2017-08-05 18:28 | Beager ♦10 | Thanks,Brendan. | |
| 4 | 2017-08-06 06:22 | mbethke | Perfect, thanks and keep it up :) | |
| 50793573 by Tou Wonderland @ 2017-08-03 00:05 | 1 | 2017-08-03 04:40 | mbethke | Hi Tou,are there actually two different travel agencies?I fixed the phone number to list both numbers -- please don't put the phone number into the house number field, that's supposed to be the number of the house on the street.Cheers,Matthias |
| 50554494 by Thierry Gluant @ 2017-07-25 11:06 | 1 | 2017-07-26 02:10 | mbethke | No, Benoni was mapped already :) |
| 50216984 by killare @ 2017-07-12 03:17 | 1 | 2017-07-26 02:09 | mbethke | Are you sure that's a shop where you can buy electronics? "Sandy Internet" sounds like amenity=internet_cafe |
| 50348093 by Sengphet Thanongsakd @ 2017-07-17 11:42 | 1 | 2017-07-26 01:36 | mbethke | Sure this is is a campsite like this?http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dcamp_siteI visit this area l lot and haven't seen any, although a lot of things have changed there. |
| 50547100 by Thierry Gluant @ 2017-07-25 07:03 | 1 | 2017-07-25 09:32 | mbethke | Hi Thierry, welcome to OSM! Sorry I had to make a few changes to your first edit: Benoni Cafe was mapped already; the hotel without a name positioned almost right on the street makes little sense (maybe that was a first attempt for TripleThree?), and while I think Triple Three Condo is valid, it l... |
| 50390423 by roses7 @ 2017-07-18 21:36 | 1 | 2017-07-24 03:15 | mbethke | Hi,our imagery in Vientiane happens to be fairly exact so there's probably no harm in aligning streets with it, but generally you shouldn't do that. It may well be that someone drew it according to a GPS track that's more precise than the image.cheers,Matthias |
| 2 | 2017-07-28 21:59 | roses7 ♦3 | Thanks for the advice! | |
| 50409864 by killare @ 2017-07-19 15:48 | 1 | 2017-07-24 03:11 | mbethke | Please don't put a category like "Temple" in the name field. place_of_worship is fine; to mark it as a Buddhist temple, add religion=buddhist. The name is Vat Sisangvone and was mapped already so I just deleted your node :) |
| 50473972 by NNC Pharma @ 2017-07-22 04:56 | 1 | 2017-07-24 02:25 | mbethke | Is this really a hospital or only a pharma company? If there is no doctor, the building tags are sufficient. I changed it from building=apartments to building=commercial and fixed the phone number. |
| 48367153 by u_kubota @ 2017-05-03 14:06 | 1 | 2017-07-14 00:01 | mbethke | Sorry, I had to delete a whole bunch of buildings here, they are actually caravans. |
| 49997355 by Tou Wonderland @ 2017-07-03 02:40 | 1 | 2017-07-03 13:30 | mbethke | I just fixed this by putting all the names on a single POI. The Lao name should go into "name" and "name:lo", the English one in "name:en". Maps.me makes it a bit difficult to do that though |
| 49829075 by Toinoi @ 2017-06-26 07:24 | 1 | 2017-06-26 14:20 | mbethke | Hi Toinoi,a tip for your naming of places: it's a bit confusing to put English and Lao names in the same field; we have language-specific tags for that. You could set the "name" tag to the Lao name and additionally an English name in name:en. Copying the Lao name to name:lo is a goo... |

| 48472375 by Beager @ 2017-05-07 11:38 | 1 | 2017-05-08 01:36 | mbethke | Some good additions there, thank you! :)Just a note: if you create a building tagged with an amenity like for the Lao-Thai-Road market (I forget what it's called), you don't need to create an extra node for the same thing.I just made some small changes: the marketplace building is a li... |

It takes a while for new Points of Interest to show up in MAPS.ME - usually they update the maps on a monthly basis.

Sometimes streets are named with "Ban XXX Hom YYY" like the one by Webrian two streets to the east. Actually that's the best way to name them as ... |

If it doesn't turn up in maps.me immediately, that is because maps.me only updates its data once every couple of weeks, so your edits are not there right away. They are visible on the web in... |

I did take your opening hours and added the to the old node however, so thanks for that :)cheers,Matthias |

Just a note: it's important to add a "name" tag, not just name:en or name:lo, otherwise the POI won't have a name on the rendered map. This is usually just a copy of one of the language-specific tags, either the English or the Lao version... |
