Hello! According to OSM guidelines, mass edits must first be discussed with the community.

While I don't have any opinion whether this is good or not, it should have been discussed with the Israel community first.

In particular, IsraelHikingMap is a popular editor around here, and you...

Sorry.

When I posted this, I had accidentally assumed you made mass edits in Israel - but I was viewing your worldwide changes. You only made one edit here and this makes my comment less urgent, though the general point stands, if you intend to mass edit further
32025-05-16 16:44Aleks-Berlin Now, I saw you comments,
I assume the OSM-wiki is common sence. I only changed wikipedia-tags in the way it is explained there.

Aleks - please be aware, this is not the current boundary, it changed 10 years ago so I have removed the Wikidata code. Once the latest is added then feel free to add the code to it. Thanks
22025-04-09 17:44Aleks-Berlin I'm sorry.
But, now I wonder why there is only 1 OSM object having tag ISO3166-2=GB-BFS (which is this one here). Then something important is missing.

Without any checks a year plus back, a contributor uploaded the wrong shape. Then another added the ISO code to this wrong shape. That needs removing and the polygon relabelled as historic.

Hi,

an MP relation with only one member does not make sense.

Repeating the tags of the MP on the way is considered as being wrong.

Regards
Toni
22022-06-22 19:33Aleks-Berlin Hi Toni, many services require relations:
wikidata.org, polygons.openstreetmap.fr,
and even JOSM Ctrl+I shows area only for relations, not ways.
Therefore to say it does not make sense is unfair. But I agree with the double tags. And can remove them, after we agreed on proceeding.

Hi Alex,
Did you have a look at the other edits I made in the area? What do you think, why I added a tag # with value 0.75.

Could it be it is an obvious mistake, perhaps? I wonder... What tag would be combined with a value such as 0.75 in a change set wit #lanes....

I appreciate the quality ...
32021-03-09 07:43Aleks-Berlin Hi OttoR, I'm sorry for making you feel bad. I only wanted your confirmation.In the past others were angry about not being asked.
I wish you a beuatiful day.

:-) je kunt het ook nooit goed doen hè :-)

I think that OSM is the perfect tool for building upon each other and it will correct itself out. Sometimes I reach out to someone to understand what they did, but if it is something small or long time ago; I don't bother.

I can handle the revert if necessary. When doing reverts on behalf of the DWG I'd normally wait a week or so before doing reverts; this changeset has had that time and more and the consensus is pretty clear that it needs to be reverted, unfortunately.

If you need it in feet, you can add "ele:ft" tag.

42018-03-28 08:14Aleks-Berlin would it be enough if the relation gets natural=bay and (optional) water= removed ?

For me the only problem is overlapping water polygons (natural=water over natural=coastline). If either of those is removed - QA rules would be happy.

Relatively new to this so could have made a mistake.

The wiki in this case is fairly clear. But some people, even in Bavaria ;) are not aware of the strict definition:

Here you've changed http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1494331914/history to "amenity=disused:restaurant", but the normal way to indicate a disused amenity would be "disused:amenity=restaurant".
22016-03-02 19:47Aleks-Berlin you are right. first I tried to reduce different writings for similar things (e.g. typos, x-N , old-N disused:N, N:disused, N-closed). But perhaps it would be better to directly bring it into final state and skip the middle-step.

Sure.
In which wiki pages do you think it should be the hint?
42015-12-03 23:23Aleks-Berlin I took a look here (and where thinking this is a global rule). In DE or US town is used from 10k to 99k.
Please change the rule here an tell the countries with town == city rule.

Aleks, why you are adding "is_in:iso_3166_2" to some cities?
I don't think that it adds more information than it's already available in the data.
22015-11-22 21:35Aleks-Berlin https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/is_in%3Aiso_3166_2
tells 26463 uses for this key.
Yes this data could also be derived from other data, but more complicated.
But I would first remove is_in:continent, -state, -country, is_in, etc., and still keep this short one. I you process 1mio POI it ta...

But they are mainly in US. It seems they were imported from Tiger, as can be seen at https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/is_in%3Aiso_3166_2#combinations and not inserted by mappers.
I don't think it's useful to start adding this tag if we can get the same result using spatial indexing....
42015-11-28 09:10Aleks-Berlin Could you please tell me how to do it automatic (from script, eg. using wget).
The task should look like: get all key="place" from inside iso:DE-HE.
I dont want mouse interaction because we have >1000 different ISO-regions on this planet. Thank you for your help.

Indeed knwoing the id helps a lot.

Use a regex for this
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/cZH
This matches cities with population from 10000000 up to 99999999.

And I guess "is_in:iso_3166_2" isn't needed anymore in Brazil? :-)
142015-11-30 22:16Aleks-Berlin there are megabytes of key="is_in" having long values, and only kilobytes of is_in:iso*, so why it is so urgend to remove it? I would still like them, but not adding them.
The problem is at the moment: questions with big results are still very slow and often aborting.
152015-11-30 22:19naoliv
♦1,783
Did you increase (or remove) the timeout in your overpass queries? Setting a too low timeout with slower queries won't return any result indeed.
162015-12-01 19:21Aleks-Berlin I'm working on it to find a good solution.
But beside this: 99% of is_in_iso (even outside USA) is not from me, so others also need it. I think we should start a broader discussion about all is_in* keys.
172015-12-01 19:29naoliv
♦1,783
What exactly do you need to find or process? Do you always need fresh data or you can use a daily extract?
182015-12-03 19:22Aleks-Berlin only relation["place"="city"]["population"~"[0-9]{7}"]({{bbox}}); // over europe timeout=444 is breaking with internal server error but only 23 cities >1mio are inside.
It should be doable, but is stille the limit (no timeout).

In the same wikipedia entry OSM provides alternatives for diversity. If a user have added a usefull native version, it should be kept (same reason as for local name, etc.). Otherwise, better fixing than deleting; and good policy contact editor. Most users for a local map are natives.

The tag in format wikipedia:lang is used for secondary or alternative languages (anyway those articles in several languages are linked in wikipedia, and if not linked should be fixed in wikipedia)

For the native language, the tagging scheme is "wikipedia=<lang>:<wikipedia page title...
52015-12-01 19:17Aleks-Berlin connecting the language versions of same wikipedia articles was the first mayor task of
www.wikidata.org
Therefore we can trust the lanuage mapping, which works good since >1 year.
Having redundant information is only blowing up the database.

Hello. We simply used a rule: "Ideally, a key is one word, in lowercase". http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like
22015-12-01 18:20Aleks-Berlin You are right. But changing the rest of the world would be more complicated than only one nation. But I agree, "iso3166-2" would have been my favorite. But for machine reading its better to have the same key worldwide.

There is no need. Fix the renderer if there is a problem with long values.
