If "The Lake" is an informal name, then loc_name=The Lake can be used.
22024-04-10 20:35Vincent de Phily I wouldn't have known an informal name, they must have mentioned "the lake" on the building somewhere. https://www.stjohnsthelake.ie/ uses "The Lake School, Kilkenny City" as a subtitle after "Saint John's Junior School". So I think it should move to alt_name ...

12024-02-19 14:30Vincent de Phily The `name:en` of https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/488355770 seems wrong, should actually be in English.

Using Irish for the main `name` tag looks like the right choice according to https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4117571 ?

I added the turning circle because the alley is so narrow, and since there are cut corners which allows for making a three-point turn or similar there.

12020-06-29 12:59Vincent de Phily Hi !

Is there a reason for the non-metric units for height and width ? JOSM validator complains about that. I could do the conversion, unless maybe benchmark types are named colloquially after their size in inches ?
22020-06-29 15:49b-unicycling

No, there isn't, I was just trying to adapt to what people seem to use locally. I'm all in favour of the metric system, but I have yet to meet someone here who uses it.
32020-06-29 17:20Vincent de Phily I use metric. Nice to meet you ;p I guess people interested in historical features like benchmarks are more likely to still think in imperial units.

There are many more old-style multipolygons in the dataset I process each day, I cannot be bothered to use distrinct changeset comments for each.

Adding the fixme tag ensures that the relation doesn't show up in the old-style dataset, and that it shows up in other QA tools.
32018-10-14 19:44Vincent de Phily Moving the problem from one QA category to another doesn't seem that useful ? Arguably harmful in this case: I'd rather be able to look for old-style MPs than digging thru FIXMEs when I do fixup using QA tools, because FIXMEs are way too numerous and diverse for me to handle whereas MP pro...

12018-01-17 15:46Vincent de Phily You can probably use less segments. The only reason to split riverbanks in segments is to avoid downloading loads of data when you're only interested in one area, for for an area that you're likely to download in full, there's no need.
22018-01-17 15:48Vincent de Phily On the other hand, make sure that riverbanks are connected to each other, as in sharing nodes rather than being veeeery close (the breagah riverbank needs to connect to the nore riverbank).

12015-07-12 15:20Vincent de Phily Bleh - they were supposed to be two distinct changesets but network connection was bad, the first (less trivial) changeset was not closed, and then merged with this one, overwriting its comment.
22015-07-12 15:20Vincent de Phily Comment for the original changeset:

IE, Kilkenny - Add guestimated city boundary, remove superfluous addr:city and GNS tags, move admin_center to a more central, less cluttered location. Currently all tags from the old node are duplicated on the relation, not sure if that's necessary.

You need to tag the nodes in order for them to be usefull. Looking for http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cave I suppose ?

I have *many* times seen the accuracy of ways *increase* just by deleting nodes either manually or by using one of the simplifying tools. Please note that there's a "simplifyarea" plugin (which I often use).

I think what I will do in all future uploads is to run (1) ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology in the server before exporting and use a 1m tolerance and (2) drop all vertices where the accuracy is not at least 5m. That would reduce several vertices.

Yes, you can see some of the old rails beside where it crossed the river. I took photos but I'll have to search for them.
32015-01-23 14:01Dafo43

I checked and can't find the photo, next time I'm there I will take another. If you look very closely you can just about make out the 2 rails across the river. I presume the railway was for bog cutting during WWII.
42015-01-23 14:49Vincent de Phily Fair enough. Maybe add a note tag to the object to ward off future interrogations.

Does the current usage also warrant the highway=track tagging (in addition to railway=abandoned) ?
52015-01-23 20:40Dafo43
♦31
No, it's definitely not usable as a track, they tend to collect water and haven't been used in 60 years. I'll add a note now.

This land is not a "dumping ground" and should not have been described as such. I am a Director of the company which owns this land. It is a field so doesn't have a name associated with it.
