50172265 by manoharuss	1	2017-07-10 16:59:39 UTC	Øukasz	Hi there, Thanks for doing this. I was actually trying to contact the guy who deleted it asking him to bring it back but i guess you were faster. Why did you undelete both points? I believe they are duplicates of the same city. By the way - how did you find out it was deleted? I only realis...
	2	2017-07-17 05:33:13 UTC	manoharuss	Hi Øukasz, Sorry for the delayed reply. I did not check my mail for a few days. So for some reason, the deleted city was still there on Mapbox maps. I went through histories of surrounding features in that area and checked them out on OSMCha. I found the changeset by chance by seeing the h...
	3	2017-07-17 09:54:10 UTC	Øukasz	thanks for the response. okay, i will have another look and correct if needed. on a side note, does mapbox have a dedicated arabic-speaking data team?

47010209 by manoharuss	1	2017-03-20 15:05:32 UTC	mjkab108	Why was the name of this park removed. It has been known as "The Battlefield" for decades. It is where all rally's for the football team as well as bonfires for the local football team are held. At this point I feel that your simply just picking on my submissions.
	2	2017-03-20 15:49:53 UTC	manoharuss	@mjkab108 I am not. I apologize for assuming this was a wrong edit and removing the name. But from your initial mapping of park on a residential area made me think this was not a right addition to the map http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/46968599

The footways added are in fact intersecting footpaths that criss-cross through a park, which are also easily seen in the satellite images.

43187605 by manoharuss	1	2016-10-26 12:49:32 UTC	zeromap	The wikidata tag you added refers to the administrative division and is already present on this relation. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4196753 Tagging towns as points was done from a TIGER import, before boundary data was available. To make things more confusing, the point location refe...
	2	2016-10-27 09:48:38 UTC	manoharuss	@zeromap Thanks for keeping an eye out. The point location from satellite imagery does seem like a hamlet as in small number of buildings around the intersection along the roads. Do you think it would be a good idea to tag the point as a hamlet and remove the wikidata tag I added? Best, Manohar
	3	2016-10-27 12:21:24 UTC	zeromap	Yes, but this problem is more widespread. There are many town administrative divisions mapped as nodes, at least in New York State. They all need to be checked to see if, like in this case, they correspond to a hamlet or other place tag and if a relation exists with the proper information. In the ca...
	4	2016-11-02 05:15:47 UTC	manoharuss	@zeromap starting to understand the problem. This point is now a hamlet(https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/43342659) and wikidata I added was deleted, according to our discussion. But now, I feel like the census and population tags which are at 20658 does not correspond to this hamlet but indee...
	5	2016-11-02 11:07:06 UTC	zeromap	The population tag should be added to the relation: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4196753
	6	2016-11-09 03:11:17 UTC	PlaneMad	zeromap, what do you estimate is the scale of the problem? it would be great if you could point to any previous discussion that talks about a potential cleanup effort.
	7	2016-11-09 08:07:48 UTC	PlaneMad	Have extracted the GNIS place where wikidata tags were added that are <v4: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B9AOAixeLPdYIcvxR-mR4CVbaZQD8TdWY-YpC3neiEc/edit#gid=0 Looked into a sample of 20 and they all look like well urbanised areas. My hunch is that these cases are more of a minority...
	8	2016-11-12 13:57:29 UTC	zeromap	>these cases are more of a minority than a majority Yes, I believe so. >What would be the best way to find out how many incorrectly tagged towns there are? Hard to say, but I noticed they are more common among towns without eponymous larger settlements. Consider this map of Onondaga C...

41707974 by manoharuss	1	2016-08-27 09:55:51 UTC	scai	You did remove the tag natural=coastline from a lot of ways. Now the coastline seems to be broken.
	2	2016-08-27 12:15:07 UTC	manoharuss	Hi scai, Thanks for your comment, otherwise I would not have known my mistake. My intention was to fix the relation (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3753553) as it was incomplete and cross interesecting at a place. The members of the relation did not have roles either. During that I accid...
