52319563 by AlaskaDave	1	2017-10-23 15:13:10 UTC	imagico	Hello Dave, i would advise against trying to map features where you have nothing even close to verifiable position data for. The location of node 5125769091 is a highly unlikely position for an islet or even a gravel bar based on the sea ice movement in the area - ice would not be able to move...
	2	2017-10-23 23:58:03 UTC	AlaskaDave	Ordinarily, I would agree with you. I came across Shea's description through a newspaper article I read that mentioned Stray Dog West. When I searched for it on OSM, nothing came up and I wanted to at least put a findable entry into Nominatum. The uncertainty of the position is why I added the fixme...

	2	2017-09-14 22:23:18 UTC	AlaskaDave	Definitely. It was purely accidental. Working with OSMAnd on a phone can be tricky for a person with big fingers. I'm at a loss to explain just how it happened but I'll fix it pronto.

38311736 by AlaskaDave	1	2017-08-23 13:06:58 UTC	GerdP	Hi! I found 3 ways with hihway=fof , one created in this CS, all created by you. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/407895354 What does it mean? Just a typo for footway?
	2	2017-08-23 14:44:25 UTC	AlaskaDave	Sorry, It is a typo, caused by JOSM "remembering" a bad value. I cannot locate any place in JOSM that contains the text "fof" that I used by mistake over a year ago but JOSM insert it sometimes still. It's supposed to be "footway".
	3	2017-08-23 14:50:55 UTC	GerdP	Maybe search for key=properties.recent-tags in your preferences.xml and check if you find "fof"
	4	2017-08-23 15:05:15 UTC	AlaskaDave	Tried that already. It's not there. This is an annoying issue but one I cani' seem to rid myself of.
	5	2017-08-24 05:24:36 UTC	GerdP	OK. Strange. Please check also https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/9001118 Can't see much on sat images and the way crosses a river.
	6	2017-08-24 12:20:12 UTC	AlaskaDave	I changed that one to highway=path - it is much more visible on the new DigitalGlobe imagery. I have no way to tell what the "trail" actually looks like and because of its remoteness I never will, so that's only a guess. I'll work on it again and check the stream crossings when I have more...

47800046 by AlaskaDave	1	2017-04-22 02:02:14 UTC	TheOutpost	Hi Dave, the rendering in OSM around these islands looks very odd. You know what's up?
	2	2017-04-22 10:14:26 UTC	AlaskaDave	It's a rendering issue of some sort. I added Shuyak Island State Park using rough boundaries back in January. Coastllnes seem to be invisible with the current tagging using leisure=park although I can see them fine in my custom maps. Just now I altered the tagging a bit to use boundary=protected_ar...
	3	2017-04-25 19:42:55 UTC	AlaskaDave	I have spent the morning fixing errors in multipolygons and guess what? I redrew a portion of the coastline of Shuyak Island when I fixed up the Perevalnie Islands but forgot to add that new section to the coastline multipolygon. Rendering looks right now.
	4	2017-05-01 20:17:08 UTC	TheOutpost	Hmm, still looks odd, though I wonder if the tiles are stale. Looks ok at certain zooms.
	5	2017-05-02 01:33:21 UTC	AlaskaDave	It's most likely some sort of caching or currency problem with the OSM server. I'm sure it will render okay eventually.

45152994 by AlaskaDave	1	2017-04-22 02:03:45 UTC	TheOutpost	Hi Dave, After putting in the state park with an area covering the islands and a lot of water, the islands don't render right. Is this an official boundary of the state park?

47936694 by AlaskaDave	1	2017-04-19 14:01:24 UTC	AlaskaDave	2017-04-19 The original CanVec imports used many individual nodes labeled name=Kaskawulsh Glacier and natural=glacier. I removed those and added the name to several existing natural=glacier multipolygons. Recently reported changes in this glacier mean its present outline is not the same as shown.on ...

46519875 by AlaskaDave	1	2017-03-07 03:10:28 UTC	muralito	Hi AlaskaDave: Some tags of the elements you added doesn't have any meaning in OSM. It's probably an import that you did it unadvertedly, and could be improved to be more useful.
	2	2017-03-07 04:53:20 UTC	AlaskaDave	Yep, you're right. I used a list from the USFWS website and didn't bother to clean up the old tagging. It's on my todo list.
	3	2017-03-07 05:22:32 UTC	AlaskaDave	Done.

42930943 by AlaskaDave	1	2016-10-16 10:55:45 UTC	AlaskaDave	This changeset actually included many edits to the streets in Dillingham. Reworked and relocated, simplified horrible existing Tiger data. This is a work in progress. I saved it but forgot to change the comment to reflect what was done.

33363018 by AlaskaDave	1	2015-10-31 11:11:22 UTC	GerdP	please review way 365943695: the tag highway=junction is rarely used. Consider using nodes with highway=motorway_junction, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_junction
	2	2015-10-31 12:40:53 UTC	AlaskaDave	No problem. I was looking for a way to record the name of this historical junction and came up with highway=junction, admittedly a bad idea. The two ways no longer cross - consequently there is no longer a junction - 1317 now crosses 11 on bridges. I'll just leave its name on the area and remove the...
	3	2015-10-31 12:45:12 UTC	GerdP	okay, thanks

26248111 by AlaskaDave	1	2015-01-31 03:20:51 UTC	stephankn	regarding mini hydro: I think the main reservoir is a bit upstream. It it a pump storage plant? so maybe the empty reservoir is the lower basin?
	2	2015-01-31 06:00:52 UTC	AlaskaDave	I don't know. I merely moved an existing reservoir to where I thought it might be when more water is present. I think the reservoir you tagged is probably the actual location. I think the original reservoir should be deleted. By the way, are you sure the name is spelled Meatian? I think it is Mae...
	3	2015-01-31 08:34:12 UTC	stephankn	It is a wrong spelling on their sign. I put in both spellings and removed the riverbank.
	4	2015-01-31 09:07:55 UTC	AlaskaDave	Sounds good.

27389799 by AlaskaDave	1	2014-12-11 03:06:23 UTC	AlaskaDave	This comment is from the one I saved previously. It should read: Adding some POIs in my neighborhood of Chang Phuak. source=Bing, survey, GPS
