I have a small question about this ancient edit and https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6932726277/history

what you think nowadays about shop=white_goods and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dappliance ?

Would it be fine to retag this object to shop=appliance or is shop=white_goods...

Hi,
could you check which sockets are available at the two charging stations you added? Both of these keys are not used in other places:
socket:AC~
socket:CCS
22022-04-25 09:47brianboru Those are exactly the labels on each socket at the charging station. I'm not an expert so I couldn't match these to any of the prescribed tags.
32022-04-25 10:08mueschel
♦6,574
Could you take picture when you pass by the next time?

"CCS" is a standard defining at least 2 different connectors. In the UK it's most likely a type2_combo.
But I have no clue what an "AC" might be.

Hi Brian
There should only be one ref:crs per station & it should be on the railway=station node.
It's best to position that node away from the station building to allow its name & other facilities to render & display.
22020-02-28 12:27brianboru Hi Dave

Not an easy station to map. I used ref:crs everywhere a public transport route relation or journey planner or network schematic might want to use it, which is on each line that passes through with a stop
I placed the node on the building because putting it at some arbitrary point away fr...

Always better to refer to the wiki with a full quote: "The basic good practice principle is that you avoid using incorrect tags, or otherwise skewing the data you enter, to make things show up in a specific way on the map rendering."

Adding superfluous ref:crs tags "skews the data" . In this instance - for the router.

Not at all, just represents the specific complexity of this station and the general complexity of public transport mapping

Hi
It becomes "complex" if tags are duplicated in irrelevant locations.
You added a stop area relation. Therefore any routing software will be able to find the ref:crs on the station node.
Adding duplicating data only leads to confusion & errors.
One station = one station code.

The only list discussion that I can see for this is at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb-westmidlands/2017-March/002127.html , and that's not really a discussion as much as you saying "I'd l...

Other issues are already being discussed elsewhere, but "Betula sp" (strictly, with italicised "Betula" and period in "sp.") is the correct taxonomic designation for a specimen of the genus Betula, whose exact species is not known.

@pigsonthewing: there is also a widely used genus tag, which is particularly appropriate for trees not identified to species (and generally useful because of the vagaries of the taxonomy of various street trees).

I noticed that you changed some roads from highway=redeveloped to highway=demolished, which is BTW also not well documented.
What about this remaining last one?

what does the word CUS in
highway="bus_stop CUS"
mean ?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2612760560
22015-11-06 18:54brianboru This is a notation by NapTAN- the national database for bus stops which denotes it is a CUStomary stop i.e there is no physical bus stop present but the local drivers and passengers know that the bus stops there on request. We don't tag these as bus stops
32015-11-08 17:20GerdP
♦2,751
Thanks for the information. I understand now that this is a very special case.
I changed the tag to highway=bus_stop a few days ago, now I am unsure what to do.
I guess the best would be to remove the highway=bus_stop tag and only keep the node?
42015-11-08 17:31SomeoneElse

My recollection was that we went with "physically_present=no" as per http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/502390265 for verified customary stops. Certainly many came in from NaPTAN without highway=bus_stop on them (though my recollection was that the west mids NaPTAN import was slightly earl...
52015-11-08 19:02GerdP

okay, this tag is used quite often together with bus_stop, so I think I'll just add it to those two bus_stops.
62015-11-09 07:39brianboru Please don't unless you've surveyed the site and found a physical bus stop pole. The West Midands imported the Naptan data WITHOUT the bus stop tag so that we could survey the naptan data. We found naptan data is often wildly inaccurate. Locally we don't tag CUS with a bus stop tag. ...
72015-11-09 07:49GerdP
♦2,751
okay, now I am really lost.
My understanding is that
physically_present=no
says I will not find a physical bus
stop pole. I understood your first
comment so that the bus stops there
if one gives a sign to the driver.
Did I get that wrong?
82015-11-09 08:43brianboru You are correct. But please respect West Midlands community practice which is we don't tag CUS stops with highway=bus stop unless we've surveyed and found the CUS stop has been upgraded with a pole which can be surveyed.
