Hello, the source is paper maps, we used to draw a file outside, then we decided to upload it to the server to work better.
32020-02-26 10:52freebeer can you be more specific than `paper maps'? most paper maps are under a copyright that prevents their contents from being used for OSM.

also, can you describe what you are doing better than the `vvvvvv' that you have used for multiple edits recently? thanks

Because the area it covers is not a building. Making the perimeter of the plot as a building so that it renders would be mapping for the renderer. An icon is fine in this case afaic: the underlying data is correct.

Logging roads should be on the map as `highway=path`. If they are not open to the public, then they should also have the tag `access=forestry`. Some of these paths are used by the public. Please replace them.

Yeah, the OSM policy states that the official language for the country should be represented in the main name tag, and any other languages used should be added as "name:en" for example. An that's what I was trying to do here.

Hi WallOfDeath, welcome to OSM.

May I know the reason behind deleting many mapped paths and (private) service ways? Thanks.

If a way is not accessible to the public, we add the access=private tag.

Hello! Do you know that you paint over existing buildings with complete address data with detailed, but only inadequate address data? Please urgently (manually) clean up and take over the data. Example https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/79818260 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/726974368

user_5359, thank you for catching these errors. I've communicated with organizers of this import about these and other issues, but it seems the same errors continue to persist.

I don't quite understand the organizer's statement. The tag height=0 should be intercepted by simple methods before importing and even the overlapping buildings can be fixed by JOSM methods.

Ok, I see the problem, those buildings are of type "building=foundation/ruin", probably because they were traced while the development was still in construction, which is why they have a height of zero. They shouldn't have been imported that way. I'll update the documentation for...

Concerning this road https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/71372992
You do not need to convert a single highway into a divided highway unless there is a physical barrier dividing the ways. Also this change may have broken the route relation although I haven't checked.
22019-09-18 01:03freebeer yep, that's a centre turn lane for most of its length. and some of those turns it allows are not mapped from both directions.

Does this consulting business actually exist at this location? The satellite imagery (which can be a few years old) for where the marker was placed shows it in the middle of a grove of trees.

Good morning. What is the nature of the duplicates that you are fixing? The node count was below 2000 as was specified. Why is the changeset #74197855 closed and no data has been posted?
22019-09-10 03:02freebeer being familiar with this sort of repair, i can speculate that the tool you used either put two nodes in the same spot, or included the same node twice.

seeing v2 of the nodelist takes 123 pages in my `lynx' browser, and the full history takes 242 pages, there may have been just one redundant...

Yes, exactly. These dupe nodes are nearly always due to a faulty editor tool. I do a lot of these fixes all day and it seems that all editors do this. To compare the versions you could load the way with JOSM and use the history tool (ctrl-h) to visualize the difference.
42019-09-10 12:01freebeer as i've been unable to sleep for days, i decided to try and analyse this without the usual visual inspection.

on the original changeset seen at https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/74189315 which created this polygon, you see that 1868 new nodes were uploaded to osm.

Maxar (DigitalGlobe) licenses imagery to many organizations around the world. It might be worth coming up with a metadata tag convention to indicate that. In this case, KSNGHR has a license to fresh Maxar imagery that most OSMers don't have access too. I like still tagging Maxar but maybe we ne...

Hi freebeer,

I suspect this way was split from the bridge segment next to it. W is used for wireframe mode in iD so chances are that bridge was selected, then the user hit W and overwrote it.

this is weird. you have added the tag n=yes, akin to the pre-existing import=yes, in this changeset.

that i expect from an infrequent potlatch2 bug i am tracking now, but this was a josm edit, where i have seen `n' point to what i guess was meant as `note' elsewhere ...

Hey freebeer,

Adrian isn't active anymore but was part of my team. I'm not sure what the typo was supposed to be here but I corrected the mistake.

Thanks for letting us know about it!

32019-09-03 01:40freebeer thanks jeff.

could you have a quick look at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/535778598/history which should be trivial?

thx

No problem. Fixed that as well. I suspect the issue was the users typing out a tag then trying to use the hotkey to hide map data, which in our version of iD was N.

Thanks again for the heads up,
Jeff

do you remember if in your v3 edit of https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/180349372/history whether you wanted to add a new tag, and if so what it was?

if you did not, then it is a potlatch2 bug i see sometimes where it turns something like oneway into a single letter of four, or it copies ...

what are you trying to say in v3 of https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/715701786/history with `No=Updated Imagery' ?

did you maybe intend to write `no(te)=Updated...' or did you mean for `something=No Updated Imagery' ?

Since I don't have your e-mail address and am not familiar with any other means of contacting you, I do it like this again.

Please advise. Regards, martinairmaps....

12019-07-28 08:40freebeer can you look at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/17194553 ?

it seems some nodes got dragged, and even where it looks reasonable, i cannot see the background imagery quite agreeing with what is on the map.

thanks

Ya, that looks werd as all heck. Unfortunately, my vacation is over, so I'm no longer in that area.

I made it into something I think is reasonable Thoughts? https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/72750565
32019-08-04 21:19freebeer yeah, that looks good enough to be almost real that i'll let it pass. the esri aerials seem ideal in this area for tracing - oh, connecticut, of course - so i resisted the temptation to repeat my earlier mistakes adding copious details and striving for improvement.

thanks

Hhhmmm, I check for this stuff on my end when doing edits and I never see it happening on the edit side. So, I'm under the impression this is something happening on iD Editor's side that isn't due to bad mapping habits. Who knows when its happening or why though. If I read things on ...

12019-08-04 05:19freebeer hi,
looks like in this edit you added https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/703230884 , joining it at several locations to other features, and then moving it out of position, dragging the nearby paths and a pond out of shape.

could you look at this? thanks

same issue, stepping through the nodes starting from the highway shows the terminating node is not part of the sequence heading in.

Hi Freebeer,
For a larger segment, we do ensure there are no self intersecting segments. I have fixed a node connection here.
Please let us know your suggestion.

12019-08-04 02:22freebeer hello amazon,

please check the driveway loop here. the terminating way node is located on but not joined to the other part of the loop, where stepping along the nodes skips over this point.

this is flagged as a self-intersecting way.

Hi Freebeer,

There was a missed node connection. I had a connect with my team on the same to ensure it is repeated again. Also fixed the self intersection. changeset #: 73053386
Let me know if there are any other suggestions.

12019-08-03 22:36freebeer this is not a meaningful description. in fact, looking at your edit history for the past days, there are very few edits where your descriptions appear to be sensible.

12019-08-03 22:33freebeer your changeset description should summarise what you are doing, in order to aid in troubleshooting whether error seen are a result of operator error, or in this case an editor bug.

`dgh' is not useful to anybody.

Thanks a lot for pointing out the issue. We have passed on the message to our team and asked them to check for repetition of this issue so we can have a tab on it and fix them immediately.

32019-08-02 11:23freebeer hi ganesh,

this seems to be some obscure logic bug in iD, infrequent, and not a mapper issue. i do not know if iD highlights overlapping nodes in an obvious way as Potlatch2, or the throbbing pulsating angry red pustule of potlatch1.

in any case, as i repair more, including some non-amazon ed...
