https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6787400863/history - how you know that it was a car repair location?
2 ~ 3 years agoAdamant1 The edit was made three years ago, which is way to long ago for me to remember now. I'm sure there was a reason though since I don't usually make random edits that I haven't researched somehow ahead of time.
3 ~ 3 years agoAdamant1 What exactly is your issue with how I tagged it or evidence that it's tagged wrong?

I am considering complete or partial revert of initial edits - so I am wondering how you managed to interpret what they added.

If it is possible then I would use the same method to handle other `name=local shop` objects
6 ~ 3 years agoAdamant1 It's a little ridiculous to revert an edit from 3 years ago just because some can't remember the exact reason they made it at the time though. I'm sure that can go for most edits on here. More so in this case because you have evidence that how I tagged it is wrong or that I didn'...

Your actions in changeset #126927595 removed several relations. I will be reverting this changeset. Feels free to modify the imagery of badly mapped areas without deletions in the future. Thanks”
2 ~ 3 years agoAdamant1 I removed the relations because they were inaccurately mapped and don't match what's on the ground. People are allowed to delete things in such instances.

Hi Adamant1,
Perhaps there are other fixes we could explore, like adding seasonal/intermittent tags to several parts of Smith River. Do you have specific coordinates supported by ground truth where the seasonal/intermittent tags can be added?
5 ~ 3 years agoAdamant1 Adding seasonal/intermittent tags to it wouldn't be adequate because the area would still be grossly inaccurate even if it was tagged as intermittent.

It is inappropriate to map this entire area (most of the Marble Mountain Wilderness) as woodland, while much of it is wooded, there are large ares of bare rock, scrub, grass and many lakes. Please remove this, and map smaller areas which actually correspond to the areas of trees only.

4 ~ 4 years agoAdamant1 For that matter shop=art would be 100 times more descriptive then shop=recycle if you just have something in your craw about shop=charity for some reason. Personally, I could go with either shop=charity or shop=art.

Re: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/987279498 and adjacent short highway=track features - are you sure these are roads? They don’t look much different from the other rows of trees. See e.g. ESRI World Imagery Clarity (Beta) here https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?way=987279498#map=19/39.1281...

To me this looks like it is _not_ a clothes shop, but a bike shop selling bike and ATV bits, with clothes as a bit of an afterthought.
2 ~ 5 years agoAdamant1 I'd be just as fine with shop=motorcycle_parts with a clothes=yes or clothes=motorcycle tag then. The important thing is that it doesn't sell motorcycles. So it shouldn't be tagged like it does just because it has stuff related to them.
