Hi Leon, 14 years ago you worked on the Fyansford railway and added this siding (now modified). I can't see any sign of this siding from aerial photos in 1946 or 1971. Do you have any further details about what it is or what your source was please? I know it's a long time ago but any info ...
22024-06-10 10:33Leon K That would have been from around the time the line was removed i'm guessing? I can't remember where I saw it but there was some discussion on various railway forums like Railpage about it's removal.

Hi Leon,
There’s a bit to unpack here, but you’ve created roads that don’t exist that should be marked as such, I’d suggest looking at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Construction and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:proposed to see how to go about this correctly....
22022-04-28 10:11Leon K Hi, fair point on the construction tags, that was an oversight.
I've also changed the name to Spirit of Tasmania Quay as that is what the geelongport site is referring to it as.

Hello Leon, I noticed that this edit changed the town name from “Mortlake” to “Mortlake Post Office”. I haven’t edited POs before but I wonder if the PO and locality tags should be entered separately? Many thanks for all your work on OSM. Cheers TreeTracks.
22021-12-09 10:33Leon K Good Catch, thanks for pointing that out.

What is the benefit in splitting the lanes for a small, innocuous traffic island?

Surely a node traffic_calming=Island would be better?

Not sure I like these RapiD building outlines - I mean, they're mostly in the right place, but the alignments are really flaky. A start, I guess, as long as it's recognised that they're not 'complete'.

Did you survey this? Ibis budget was tagged as a motel before, which you changed to a hotel, when I drove past this before it did seem more like a motel, I think it should only be changed if you've surveyed and are sure.
22020-02-12 22:16Leon K The ID editor preset for Ibis Budget has it as hotel. You're probably right but unless the preset is fixed i'd expect this to keep happening.

Why layer=1 for these buildings?

At the moment relationship 6592787 has 3 of these buildings .. all layer=1 ... and they over lap one another ... so in order to 'fix' the problem I'd like to understand the use of the layer tag here.

62017-03-25 11:16Leon K A single building and building parts might work better, might look into that. 3D tagging isn't so bad, eventually you learn how to see the result from the tags.

22017-02-01 08:13Leon K Hi, the original intent was to remove the scrub tag from the overall park, since the individual areas were properly marked as well and it put scrub over the carparks and lakes.
