Hello. I was in this place and I did not see this peak. What your source, please?
22024-02-19 12:10mbe57 TXs for coming back re. this "peak".
I am preparing a new release of the OAM world maps and - after 6 years from the initial peak selection and rendering - revisit this topic. While in the Urals, Pamir, etc. etc. you have dramatic peaks, there is nothing like that in huge areas of Russia ...

Hey, what source are you using for elevation? According to the background imagery "LINZ NZ Topo50 Gridless Maps", the elevation is 152 metres. LINZ is the source used for almost all elevations in NZ

a second source also says "over 148 metres": https://mustdonewzealand.co.nz/to...
22024-01-30 13:11mbe57 Sorry, a mistake of mine, will revert the change.
Background: after 5 years I'm re-building the rendering of peaks depending on their isolations for the world maps at openandromaps.org. Back then I was shocked to find the highest peak at the Philippines, at 28,000+ and tons of elevations in fe...

Hello,
Thanks for going through these mistagged elevations (I'm guessing you're prompted in part by https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/announcement-openlandcovermap/108392?). I agree that this and others that you're editing are almost certainly unit errors where the ele=* tag cont...
22024-01-27 20:53mbe57 Hello Will,
I will not disregard, and I hear you.
So, for future edits I will adapt the wording.
What do you think about this: "ele wrong by a factor of about 3, which hints at feet figures put into the OSM elevation meter field that requires meter values. Feet figures obviously create havoc...

No worries! I don't know if pollute is the word I would choose, as it again seems a bit strong and negative (imagine if you were a new mapper and someone says that adding a perfectly true elevation you saw on a sign during your hike to the database was polluting OSM!). So I don't even thin...

Hi mbe57. Can you let me know please what's the source of your data to set Longana as municipality? Thanks
22019-04-10 20:35mbe57 Wikipedia is not very clear here. So, if somebody with local knowledge can take care this is very appreciated.
My interest are local province capitals. Being well aware, that "province" means different things in different places; sometimes simply use another term for it.

Glad to be of help then:

Longana is not a municipality, town, villageb, or even a populated place. It is a general highland area of East Ambae.

The capital of the Penama province has been located in Saratamata, and this is where all the offices are still located. In November 2018 however the ...
42019-04-16 05:23mbe57 For this country, province is clear, I know.
Happy to substitute "municipality" by something more meaningful. What is the right "place" type then, pls ?
But should not "capital" be removed, too ?
And put to Saratamata?

So, jetzt ist deine unnötige Arbeit futsch. JOSMs Fehlerbereinigung hat alle deine is_in* Tags gelöscht. Wozu der Aufwand veraltete Tags einzufuegen?
22019-06-15 20:35mbe57 Ich habe im Wiki die Definitionen nachgelesen. Außer, dass JOSM das tötet, ohne Begündung, ohne Hinweis auf Ersatz, habe ich nichts gefunden.

The is_in tag is deprecated due to most countries having boundary polygons. I removed those tags for this reason. While I can't stop you from adding them back, I wanted to let you know.

I understand that the tag is still used on hundreds of thousands of nodes and ways. There are likely some countries where is_in still has some use, but seeing as how the country, state, county, and city borders are already mapped, there is no need, mapping applications are able to determine those, m...

Me and the Norwegian OSM community would appreciate if you could remove these is_in-tags. We spent some time removing them.

The whole country and every county, city and municipality are multi-polygons so is_is is quite useless now. It just confused Nominatim
22019-04-08 23:12mbe57 Frederik, s there a proper query in your paradigm that gives all province capitals?
I am dealing with world maps, and the chaos you spot on the way is incredible. "Islands" of "traditions", incomaptible, intransparent. And the worst of all were peaks with elevations in feet - wi...

What for? This is useless tag for cities.
Administrative boundaries are used to determine country.
22018-07-14 16:39mbe57 This is a province capital, hence it makes sense to know the associated country. Maybe useless for you personally, not useless for others.
