57677217 by Russ McD	1	2018-04-19 05:27:37 UTC	stephankn	way 574903669: how certain are you about "no evidence on the ground"? When had you been there? Google shows a very nice wide paved road there. OSM looked quite up-to-date before you removed the road classification. https://www.google.com/maps/place/15%C2%B034'30.0%22N+102%C2%B026'16.8%22E/...
	2	2018-04-19 05:28:55 UTC	stephankn	Why did you delete 549451125? It is clearly visible on recent aerial images, even not yet in OSM. Did you contact the original mapper?
	3	2018-04-19 10:57:22 UTC	Johnny Carlsen	@Russ, I can see you are still adding highway=living_street, I thought we all agreed that Thailand didn't have this legal definition yet and we should abstain from using it. I recommend that you use highway=residential.
	4	2018-04-19 11:07:37 UTC	Johnny Carlsen	@Russ, it also looks like you are still tagging residential roads as highway=service. A few examples: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/574902193 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/574902171 I keep fixing these as I come across them, I didn't realize you were still doing this. If you think...
	5	2018-04-19 12:07:41 UTC	Russ McD	Firstly, Yes. I rode through there about three weeks ago and stopped at the PTT. There is massive construction going at the moment, and there were routing issues on the GPS which made me give it my attention when I got home. From memory, it has not been plotted well with lots of tertiary tags on...

46159033 by katpatuka	1	2017-10-15 21:36:04 UTC	stephankn	For example at node 997415485 you did not add the "Ban" to the village name, despite it being written like this on their village sign. Any specific reason for not doing so? I think it should be ບ້ານຫ້ວຍຊຽງ
	2	2017-10-16 04:47:14 UTC	katpatuka	ບ້ານ "Ban" means village. When being rendered it should IMHO render without the village ending - would you add "Village" to every village in England? One could of course add the village name including ban to the alt_name - I sometimes do that in China with 村 (meaning vi...
	3	2017-10-16 07:41:56 UTC	stephankn	Right. But locals seem to consider it so important that they print it on the limited space available on the signs. Typically in OSM we avoid abbreviations in the data. So we add Street instead of St. If a data consumer wants to generally avoid it then it can be filtered at nearly no cost. See...
	4	2017-10-23 20:27:42 UTC	webrian	As far as I remember I rarely added "ban" to village names since it seemed redundant to me. BUT probably it would be better to add it, since in 98% of all villages it is basically part of the name. Locals always say "ban......" when speaking of a village. There are only a few c...
	5	2018-04-16 22:10:36 UTC	ivss_xx	I cycled through here a while ago and made waypoints and noted the village names. My notes are in some cases a bit different from what you have added. What is the most correct way? Also, the actual village name signs were not in Lao script but in Roman script, as far as I recall, because I was able ...
	6	2018-04-16 22:19:32 UTC	ivss_xx	What's on map now - My note (from sign) Paktho - Pak Thor Houaykhot - Houay Khod Phonxai - Phon Say Beu 10 - Ber Sib
	7	2018-04-17 04:24:35 UTC	katpatuka	I've never been to Laos so feel free to edit those names which are 'on the ground' :)
	8	2018-04-17 05:18:38 UTC	stephankn	It's been a while since I was in Luang Prabang. I got a few hundred georeferenced photos. With some help I got part of it entered in Lao script as well. In general I suggest to follow the successful tagging scheme also used in Thailand. Put the local name in Lao script in the name tag. Avoid to ...
	9	2018-04-17 21:26:35 UTC	ivss_xx	@stephankn I guess I wasn't clear enough asking about what's the correct way - I wasn't meaning about the way of tagging. I too think that the way you described is correct but I was merely asking about what would be the correct case of the English name about the specific names I mentioned in my seco...
	10	2018-04-18 06:54:06 UTC	stephankn	Ok. in general, we put in the tags what is on the signs. Corner-cases make it a bit more complex here. Signs can have shortened names due to limited space you have to expand. Spelling mistakes can exist on signs and here we suffer from different ways to do transliteration into the Latin alphabet. \...

52854662 by Jediemark Go	1	2018-04-05 01:51:41 UTC	stephankn	a variety_store is not the corner shop you wanted to add. shop=convenience is the tag

56642160 by 4719341	1	2018-03-18 21:05:33 UTC	stephankn	this is clearly a highway=residential. Why do you tag everything as tertiary?

56722071 by 4719341	1	2018-03-18 20:57:53 UTC	stephankn	please stop tagging everything as highway=tertiary

57275263 by sodastudio	1	2018-03-18 08:30:36 UTC	stephankn	Hello, please take caution about the classification of highways. The way 570532245 is only a dead-end residential road. A classification as tertiary is wrong. I have corrected it for you.

57049386 by Cibien	1	2018-03-17 11:17:57 UTC	stephankn	you added many ways with a temporary highway=road. Please take care to do a correct tagging, otherwise data can't be used in OSM. seems most are agricultural, so highway=track

56426351 by VLD009	1	2018-03-17 09:52:18 UTC	stephankn	why was way 504117425 not connected to the main road at the eastern end near the bridge?

50261630 by VLD007	1	2018-03-16 21:43:31 UTC	stephankn	way 507348977: leads to farmland. residential not justified

57126584 by VLD003	1	2018-03-13 20:38:17 UTC	stephankn	way 526553099: It might have been fine, that the correctly tagged tertiary highway extends a bit further from the village onwards from the point where the road turned into unpaved. Residential sounded not too bad. Tertiary looks certainly wrong. It is leading only to agricultural areas. So probabl...

57033416 by Cibien	1	2018-03-12 00:25:00 UTC	stephankn	roads ragged with temporary type highway=road. Shouldn't they be highway=unclassified as they connect villages? way 568266427 way 568266426 way 568263878

57034508 by Cibien	1	2018-03-12 00:22:44 UTC	stephankn	What happened here? A (service?) road leading to the temple tagged as tertiary, nearby highway=road. eg way 568301907 Are you going to revisit that tagging?

56923082 by 4719341	1	2018-03-09 07:26:40 UTC	stephankn	why is nearly everything tagged as highway=tertiary? Most of them are clearly not...

56849152 by gede0n	1	2018-03-04 22:50:04 UTC	stephankn	While I agree, that way 384629995 is not necessarily an agricultural track, it is certainly no major highway of the arterial network. So highway=tertiary is absolutely unjustified. I'm changing it to a highway=service as it seems the only thing it serves is the cemetery. In case the area nearby the...
	2	2018-03-05 00:27:11 UTC	gede0n	You're absolutely right, thanks for the fix.

41119995 by RichelleG	1	2018-03-02 08:28:49 UTC	stephankn	you deleted a lot of highway=* classifications when adding the durface. Did you replace/rename existing tags instead of adding a new one? I fixed some, bout would be nice if you could review the other edits you did during this time to ensure that others got their tags back as well

56513607 by TrevorTG	1	2018-02-20 22:53:01 UTC	stephankn	I repaired your bad tagging before. Why are you breaking it again? Are you trying to destroy data? a residential road is no tertiary highway. Will you fix it yourself?
	2	2018-02-21 23:01:22 UTC	stephankn	you repaired some, but for example residential way 559328577 is still tagged as secondary

56136947 by TrevorTG	1	2018-02-20 23:00:39 UTC	stephankn	residential roads are no major highways. please use appropriate tagging

56340849 by sarawoo122	1	2018-02-15 08:09:23 UTC	stephankn	Do not use highway=tertiary for residential roads. The key "maxspeed" is for tagging signed speed limits. So there has to be an official speed limit sign. It is not used to tag the typical/recommended speed. Please double-check this.

55776925 by sarawoo122	1	2018-02-15 08:03:42 UTC	stephankn	In English there are spaces between words. Use Thai script in "name" and English/RTGS in "name:en"

56341699 by sarawoo122	1	2018-02-15 08:01:24 UTC	stephankn	Hello and welcome to OSM. Thank you for your contributions around ซอย 3 หมู่ 9 ตำบล นครปฐม. Please double-check the tags you choose. Here you selected highway=tertiary for residential roads. This will lead to problems when the map is rendered. Also make certain tha...
	2	2018-02-19 03:02:31 UTC	sarawoo122	Thanks so much

55881406 by TrevorTG	1	2018-02-12 21:09:50 UTC	stephankn	Please do not use abbreviations for names. It is impossible for an algorithm to expand these in all conditions while it is simple to shorten them by software. So write "Road" instead of "Rd."

55865039 by TrevorTG	1	2018-02-12 21:02:47 UTC	stephankn	As mentioned in another comment, please make sure to use correct tags. Otherwise data consumers can't make sense of your contributions. Worst case it won't be considered at all. I fixed residential roads tagged as highway=road instead of highway=residential. Also parking isles also have their own ta...
	2	2018-02-12 21:04:40 UTC	stephankn	Please also avoid using the tag highway=unclassified. This does not mean that you don't know the classification. It is actually a way to mark roads which for example connect villages to the main highway network but have not yet received a classification (from DRR, like the 4 digit numbers)

56206267 by TrevorTG	1	2018-02-12 21:00:17 UTC	stephankn	Welcome to OSM. The way you added is a typical residential way. So please tag it as highway=residential. It is important that we use the correct tags in OSM as the data will be used for many purposes extending the simple display of a map. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/559992740 Please feel f...

55868470 by alohabank	1	2018-02-11 21:42:08 UTC	stephankn	way 555897421: is tagged as footway. But has additional tags to allow cars/motorbikes. Could it be simply a very narrow road? Maybe highway=service together with service=alley. Or is it a one-lane residential just wide enough people can get their car in&out? would be lanes=1. There is a note me...

56092090 by iMekkikiTH	1	2018-02-05 21:02:55 UTC	stephankn	what are you doing? First you deleted hundreds of way, and now adding them from scratch?
	2	2018-02-10 12:46:17 UTC	SomeoneElse_Revert	This changeset has been reverted fully or in part by changeset 56239058 where the changeset comment is: Reverting some deletions and (few) re-adds in Thailand; see https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=61244

55851095 by Surachet unma (บอสตั้ม)	1	2018-01-30 07:59:04 UTC	stephankn	A nice first edit. Check out the different imagery layers you can use. You will notice that some offer details others don't. Also take note that sometimes the roads look shifted on different layers. Best is to compare the imagery position with GPS traces available and choose the best fitting one. Ju...

55851203 by Surachet unma (บอสตั้ม)	1	2018-01-30 07:48:04 UTC	stephankn	Hello, welcome to OSM. You added a short way leading to administrative buildings (way 556677629). The road classification in OSM is quite important. unfortunately "secondary" is the wrong type for such a way. I changed it to "service" which matches much better the function of i...

55600154 by Bernhard Hiller	1	2018-01-29 07:51:00 UTC	stephankn	what happened here? node 4990576441 a huge gap in a major highway. I have re-connected the ways based on aerial imagery to have a routable network again...
	2	2018-01-29 18:12:46 UTC	Bernhard Hiller	Thanks for finding and fixing that. Looks like I forgot to join the ways after creating the parallel way with JOSM (that large section was previously mapped as a "simple" highway, but it is already dual carriage). Strange that I did not see a warning regarding that problem in JOSM.

55763360 by alohabank	1	2018-01-27 06:47:00 UTC	stephankn	Hello and welcome to OSM Thailand. way 555900975: Please explain what you mean with oneway=reversible. I know that sometimes entry to a road from one side gets blocked, eg during busy hours. But infrequently reversind the one-way? With this being in Bangkok nothing is impossible, but please clari...

53851714 by Nikita Kozlov	1	2018-01-10 07:00:51 UTC	stephankn	You might be really knowledgeable, but hundreds of them including exact elevation? Your source statement sounds a bit strange. Can you please document this import including the source of the data?
	2	2018-01-17 10:51:23 UTC	Nikita Kozlov	Source is 1:50000 AMS maps available via TMS done by webrian, with position adjustment by comparing with digitalglobe imagery, and few 1:25000 maps of 1993 year, which I have from Berlin library: http://staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/fileadmin/user_upload/zentrale_Seiten/kartenabteilung/topo/2k8963.jpg....
	3	2018-01-24 19:59:47 UTC	stephankn	It sounded like an import, so I wondered what source was used and whether it would also contain data for Thailand. Rendering of all those unnamed peaks is a bit weird, but this is a different story. Can you document on how to get the AMS maps on the main page of Laos together with other data sour...

55538728 by Bay Pronthep	1	2018-01-22 08:12:03 UTC	stephankn	Welcome to OSM. Your newly created roads do not follow the reality. They are away from the real geometry of up to 200m. Please also make use of the other imagery providers available. In this case Digital Globe imagery is available and allows you to draw roads without guessing. Be aware that sometime...
	2	2018-01-22 08:14:52 UTC	stephankn	For node 5346112259: I don't want to discourage teachers around, but โรงเรียนบ้านโนนเพชร is not a place of worthip. amenity=school is much more appropriate for schools.
	3	2018-01-22 08:17:04 UTC	stephankn	for node 5346112257: a mini mart is most likely a shop=convenience, not supermarket
	4	2018-01-22 08:19:11 UTC	stephankn	node 5346112258: This was placed at the exact same location than the mistagged school above. Please check the location, as imagery does not show any building there or nearby looking like a health center
	5	2018-01-22 08:23:26 UTC	stephankn	way 553888009 Residential roads (the roads in areas where people typically live) are tagged as highway=residential
	6	2018-01-22 08:25:55 UTC	stephankn	node 5346112262 a health center is also no place of worship. Please take extra care to select the right tagging, as this is the way in OSM data is described.
	7	2018-01-22 08:29:19 UTC	stephankn	node 5346112264 For Wat Ban Chot I added religion=buddhist, as this helps to later render the right symbol on the map.
	8	2018-01-22 08:31:29 UTC	stephankn	I notice that your added POI line up very well with the few POI listed on google maps. Might be coincidence. But please be aware, that it is NOT allowed to copy details from google maps to OSM. We want to have the features verified on the ground. This is what makes OSM better than google. The featur...

55537093 by Sal73x	1	2018-01-19 07:10:27 UTC	stephankn	You created a lot of unconnected roads to highway 24, eg node 5345963620. I hope it is due to you being in the process of making it separated by direction. Please check all the road connections to have a routable network. Thanks
	2	2018-01-21 12:29:42 UTC	stephankn	These are the unconnected ones. Are you in the process of adding a separate highway lane for 24 or shall I connect the to the existing road? I didn't want to interfere with ongoing mapping... node 5345965541 node 5345963620 node 5345965527 node 5345965565 node 5345965705 node 5345965544

49657161 by YiBomination	1	2017-11-25 07:39:18 UTC	stephankn	I guess you did with best intentions, but your mapping needs a massive rework. Micro-Mapping mostly not justified by landuse pattern. Geometries uneven and partially overlapping/duplicating other features. Guess your teacher is to blame. Can you please give details who directed you here and failed...

49657489 by Woon	1	2017-11-25 07:28:31 UTC	stephankn	Let me guess: You had been mapping for a class, right? Please give details who directed you. I guess you (and others) did with the best intentions, but unfortunately your edits lack in many ways.

49656052 by Alan Ziegler	1	2017-11-25 07:26:40 UTC	stephankn	That tagging is broken. Had you been there at all? "unknown" or "house" are not names.

49626030 by Alan Ziegler	1	2017-11-25 07:25:41 UTC	stephankn	"not sure" is certainly not the name of way 501292972. Are you going to revert your things?

49654922 by Alan Ziegler	1	2017-11-25 07:24:08 UTC	stephankn	A Volcano? No further details and wrong tagging? I am very tempted to count this as vandalism. Please give some details regarding this. This is not a playground. It is a live database used by people...

44075647 by thailand-edits	1	2017-11-18 07:32:55 UTC	stephankn	this is clearly a mechanical edit. I do not see any documented prior discussion. Please give some details, as I am not convinced that replacing addr:* with is_in:* is the current standard.
	2	2017-11-18 18:40:48 UTC	thailand-edits	This wasn't a mechanical edit but a mass JOSM edit based on towns which contained addr:* tags. I agree this was a large changeset, however each case was properly inspected. Could you point out which nodes were mistagged? If you find a lot of them we can always revert this changeset, however to...
	3	2017-11-19 23:02:21 UTC	stephankn	Thanks for responding to the comment. Doing a mass change of tags is considered a mechanical edit. Whether you are using JOSM or other tools is not relevant in this context. It seems this change was not discussed with the community. Or was it somewhere? I see the problem that some details h...
	4	2017-11-20 08:04:40 UTC	thailand-edits	I agree, this changeset is a bit large for a mass edit, but it was discussed and posted on the OSM mailing list, I can't find the exact thread but I've got a response from Miroff which was one of the users who added the addr:* in the first place. https://github.com/osmottawa/osm-changesets/issues...
	5	2017-11-20 13:00:41 UTC	stephankn	I recommend to move the discussion to the forum thread mentioned above. That way we can document the decision better. Might be an interesting decision whether to go for addr:. is_in: or completely remove those where admin boundaries are available. I am not too keen on investing time to do a ...

52270384 by Subhalakshmi	1	2017-11-01 11:02:10 UTC	stephankn	Thanks for trying to contribute. Unfortunately your edits need much improvement. Please seek out for some guiding on how to correctly add things to OSM. For example you created some artificial boundaries to the woos which clearly not exist in this way. Also your road classification needs improvement...

52345483 by Manjunath Raj	1	2017-11-01 10:59:39 UTC	stephankn	Why are you tagging ways which are at best agricultural track as highway=tertiary? I see you are participating in organized mapping. Please contact your organizer for some training

17266799 by Mishari	1	2017-10-19 06:12:42 UTC	stephankn	This is a Buddhist graveyard? As you changed it from cemetery you indicate it belongs to the temple next to it. I know this concept mostly from Europe where a graveyard is next to the church. The aerial looks much more like the Chinese cemeteries I have seen before...
	2	2017-11-19 02:11:01 UTC	Mishari	You're right, it is a cemetery, but by definition in the wiki I thought it's to be tagged a graveyard. Perhaps a clarification needs to be added to the wiki?

49731273 by RVR002	1	2017-10-16 06:30:22 UTC	stephankn	You did not create the tagging, but should have noticed that for most of the ways the highway=tertiary is absolutely not reasonable. eg way 274228028 and way 274228023. In tsuch cases please change to something more appropriate.
	2	2017-10-19 16:29:11 UTC	RVR002	Hi stephankn, Thank you for your comment! We very rarely change existing tags because we are not on the ground to verify them and are conscious not to undo the hard work of local mappers who maybe adding these tags. We hope that mappers with a better context for Thailand like yourself can help in t...

51185249 by RVR007	1	2017-10-10 19:06:46 UTC	stephankn	why is for example way 516234777 not connected to the rest of the network?
	2	2017-10-19 16:58:35 UTC	RVR007	Hi stephankn, Thank you for your comment! We can't find the disconnected way you're mentioning here. Please let us know if you find anything else. Also please note we are using the OSM Tasking Manager to map small squares one at a time. The areas we are working in now in the North East have not bee...

52610070 by VLD003	1	2017-10-06 20:24:41 UTC	stephankn	way 529811317 way 529811311 way 529811338 and others in that area are clearly residential roads in a newly constructed residential area. Should be tagged as such, not service.

52601821 by VLD003	1	2017-10-06 20:09:23 UTC	stephankn	You have (at least) those two roads newly created on top of existing highways. I am deleting them now. Please double check for existing roads before uploading. way 529718919 way 529718917
	2	2017-10-06 20:12:34 UTC	stephankn	also deleted way 529718916

46101364 by Noshyaar	1	2017-09-25 19:32:39 UTC	stephankn	openstreetmap is a public geo database. We collect facts. Please stop adding your noted into name-tags...
	2	2017-09-25 19:36:14 UTC	stephankn	sorry, comment belonged to one changeset earlier. Changeset: 45285727 Thanks for fixing bad tagging. That maps.me user had a near 100% fail rate with the tagging...

45285727 by Olivia Heitz	1	2017-09-25 19:35:06 UTC	stephankn	openstreetmap is a public geo database. We collect facts. Please stop adding your noted into name-tags...

45088533 by sairkarseven	1	2017-09-10 14:34:37 UTC	stephankn	Can you please check the spelling of the monument? It does not render correctly. The unicode string looks broken. Seems you have broken characters at the beginning and in the end.

45087495 by Mike Stellar	1	2017-04-19 10:52:31 UTC	stephankn	Do not abuse the name tag for comments. "Entrance fee to pass" is not the name of this feature. I removed it and replaced it by fee=yes which is the correct way to indicate this.

47153722 by stephankn	1	2017-04-18 18:45:22 UTC	Mike Stellar	Why have you deleted 2 points I added? 4602564707 and 4602564706?
	2	2017-04-19 02:05:45 UTC	stephankn	You did duplicate geometry so I fixed it. In addition the node you refer to had inappropriate tagging on it there is an entrance fee for the national park, not for the lift gate. Park already has fee=yes.
	3	2017-04-19 02:09:24 UTC	stephankn	"Entrance fee 100 Baht" is certainly not the name of it. So you abuse the tagging. Please don't do that. I understand your frustration about having to pay a fee. Still: abusing name tags to have this highlighted on the map is not appropriate.
	4	2017-04-19 09:47:56 UTC	Mike Stellar	There should be an alternative then instead of simply removing this information. It's not a park, it's just 2 view points with lift gates.
	5	2017-04-19 10:49:28 UTC	stephankn	Sorry that you did not get it the first time. What you are doing is wrong! The name tag is only for the official name of a feature. It is not meant for you to express your frustration about paying an entrance fee to whatever attraction it is. In addition to that you uploaded duplicate data ove...
	6	2017-04-19 11:44:52 UTC	Mike Stellar	Okay, thanks for clarifying.

47088238 by sela	1	2017-03-26 11:23:42 UTC	stephankn	Crazy Horse seems to be a common name for the rocks. On that "alternative" map there are multiple reviews mentioning this (search for "Crazy Horse Buttress"). Maybe keep it as "alt_name:en"?
	2	2017-03-27 04:01:31 UTC	sela	ok, added "Crazy Horse" under "alt_name:en". Thanks for the hint. Wasn't aware that it's a common name used by the climbers.

47170959 by stephankn	1	2017-03-26 09:51:25 UTC	tookay	There is indeed a shop there called Casa Lapin.
	2	2017-03-26 11:01:26 UTC	stephankn	I did only fix the tagging of the data. With the wrong format the data can not be evaluated. Shop is still there. Also I did not change the name. Thanks for cross-checking.

46540518 by stephankn	1	2017-03-26 09:35:33 UTC	AlaskaDave	Every time I drive along here I wonder if the name of the road after passing Doi Saket should actually be Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai? As you know, road names in Thailand are poorly marked and I think I was the one who originally added the names to this highway. Not sure how I arrived at the naming anyway...
	2	2017-03-26 10:58:38 UTC	stephankn	I didn't add the name, but just turn lanes to give a nice example on how it can be modeled. Regarding the name: Hard to tell whether it is official. If I had to guess I would say it is not the official name, but colloquial name. Sort of "loc_name". The highway 118 (which would be the o...
	3	2017-03-26 11:55:25 UTC	AlaskaDave	I agree it's a local name but I like it anyway. I don't want to get rid of it. My question really was, would you object if I changed the name of the section north of Doi Saket to Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai Road? Once it passes Doi Saket, that seems to be a more appropriate name.

45096543 by Bombabble	1	2017-03-25 14:54:57 UTC	stephankn	why are you adding no-u-turn relations on every junction? This doesn't make much sense. Also doing a cross-check with streetview shows no such restriction. Please explain why are you adding this massive amount of restrictions.

45779697 by konhin121	1	2017-03-25 12:45:54 UTC	stephankn	you did not tag your ways. Like this they won't show up. In case they are supposed to be buildings: In Thailand houses are typically build with walls having right angles. Your ways have random shapes.

41626323 by federali	1	2017-03-25 11:05:17 UTC	stephankn	which provider did you use for DigitalGlobe? Was it Bing? so best to document it in this way. Digital Globe sells their imagery to different customers. Only a few of them allowed us to use it for OSM tracing.

	3	2017-03-10 21:22:57 UTC	stephankn	@Andi: It's quite difficult to properly use changeset discussions as long as there is no way to find your own comments. There is code fragments to add this to the wiki page but no one works on it. Thailand has a forum where more people participate in discussions.

	2	2017-03-05 10:05:50 UTC	Balthus★MC	In this delete I assigned the junction to the same node as the Traffic Signal. Is this wrong? Has junctions to be separated from the road line and to be defined as separate points??
	3	2017-03-10 21:19:50 UTC	stephankn	having it on the highway is fine. On more complex junctions it is more difficult to decide where to place it.

	2	2017-03-05 10:26:15 UTC	Balthus★MC	Yes I am aware of it – the source was actually my own personal survey. In step 2 of my review I fixed the wrong sources but in this case Russ removed the my wrong name:en value – so I missed this road in the overpass turbo query. When I made this «minor change» I just let map...

44616342 by BankJakkapan	1	2017-03-01 22:15:19 UTC	stephankn	you seemed to have missed to take over the tagging of highway 12 when you turned it into a dual carriage highway.

	2	2017-03-02 11:24:51 UTC	Russ McD	Hwy 12 west of here is NOT a dual carraigeway ... it may have painted islands in areas, but OSM convention dictates we draw as a single carraigeway. Also, the where the 2372 and 2278 one way sections cross the 12, the western lanes are NOT connected to the rest of the road, making routing impossibl...

	4	2017-02-28 16:24:18 UTC	stephankn	a highway=track indicates a way used for agricultural purposes. How do you distinguish these from simply unpaved roads?

45751977 by Balthus★MC	1	2017-02-23 20:34:30 UTC	stephankn	In this change you deleted a perfectly valid Thai scrip name in name:th. Why? Please restore it. Also don't change name:en to int_name. International does not always means english. Leave it to the map-maker to decide what language to use.
	2	2017-02-28 09:42:39 UTC	Balthus★MC	Ok, you are right of course! Job done. Additionally I just found a wrong typo: <name:Tha> instead of <name:th> and corrected it…

	2	2017-02-26 17:31:07 UTC	Balthus★MC	Because of survey I removed, not because of DRR LMP.
