Shouldn't delete name, fhrs or website. Prefix with disabled:*. They're useful for validation checks & future amendments..
2 ~ 2 days agoLordGarySugar Could do, but it's not really standard practice to keep lifecycle prefixed website and fhrs tags. They're still in the history if anyone needed to check the website for a closed pub. I find people often forget to delete old tags when pois rebrand, so it keeps them clean for whatever appear...

I was just listening to the podcast explaining how they built the neighborhood and cul-de-sac in real life, and was wondering if anyone actually added it to the map :)

I don't suppose we're really allowed to call it Cielo Rosado Court though ... are we?
3 ~ 1 month agoLordGarySugar I don't think it would be wrong to add that name, as there is no other existing name for this street. For example, the Eastenders set has all the street names and pois mapped (not using standard tags). Presumably the landuse=residential needs to be changed to some kind of commercial/film studio...

I don't understand this changeset. Strand Building, for example, is the name of a building. It doesn't appear in the address. Same for many of the others that've been changed.
2 ~ 2 months agoLordGarySugar In what way would 'Strand Building' not appear in its address? It has no other housename or housenumber tagged, so how would that work? Is it because they are university buildings that something different should happen with these?
3 ~ 2 months agohonapak
♦6
It isn't because these are university buildings, I chose this one as an example. Just because a building has a name doesn't mean that name is included in the address, or that the building is addressable at all. You chose not to change other buildings in this area name tags to addr:housenam...

I think this is fine, if not better than what was there before. In a place like London it certainly helps to see the house number.

And if these building names arent in the address, then how is correspondence sent and received? It's got to be in there somewhere!
5 ~ 2 months agohonapak
♦6
"it certainly helps to see the house number" even when it's fantasy? The university has a main postal address, not one for every building. Some of these buildings aren't publicly accessible. Based on your logic, why wouldn't we also change every building name tag on the map ...

Hi,
what does "annually:tourism" mean? This prefix is not used in any other place.

2 ~ 3 months agoLordGarySugar I made it up. I did see that a couple days ago and think 'what a crazy tag, who put that there' and then I realised... I think the rationale was that the campsite is only open for visitors on a select few days of the year (for example the Grand Prix weekend.) So, it didn't make sense ...

Hmm, well what is the correct way to tag a disused railway station building, then?
For instance your changeset has left the former Ardglass Railway Station building ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/983112658 ) just as a building incongruously tagged 'name=Ardglass', which makes no sen...
2 ~ 6 months agoLordGarySugar Hi, I was trying to deduplicate the tags that were also on the nearby Ardglass station node (11009056412), but maybe it could do with building=train_station + abandoned=yes. (and perhaps a clearer name). A lot of this historical info in my opinion is better placed in OHM, for example the branch line...
3 ~ 6 months agoramthelinefeed
♦75
Well fair enough if there was another nearby node with similar tagging. I agree the razed/abandoned/disused tagging is a bit woolly at times - although often with those old rural rail lines in NI, although the track itself is gone, it is still crystal clear on the ground that it's an abandoned...
4 ~ 5 months agoLordGarySugar I have a very strong opinion that a clear corridor or embankment isn't grounds for a closed railway to be present in OSM, but that's a discussion for another time :)

I went ahead and added building=train_station and abandoned=yes to the former train station building, so that should be m...

Thank you. Do you know what went wrong?
2 ~ 7 months agoLordGarySugar There was one validator error around the Silent Valley Reservoir (the South Dam), and another at Spelga Dam. I think it was with ways set as inner members despite sharing nodes with the outer way or the MP. (Hence why I've drawn the outer way around the Reservoir now)

Hi, could you please explain why the inner residential areas aren't members of the multipolygon? I was just about to add a new area in Montpelier to the relation, but now I'm unsure whether I should or not!
2 ~ 9 months agoLordGarySugar Hi, the huge residential multipolygon is not a standard way of representing a city's landuse areas, hence why I have been gradually splitting pieces off with the ambition of eliminating it altogether. The reason that the more central areas are not part of the MP (anymore) is because they are on...

OK, grand. Is there a logic you're following to decide what size parcels to split the MP into?
5 ~ 9 months agoLordGarySugar Here I'm not splitting it as much as I usually would, just for the sake of time. My primary goal is to eliminate all 'inner' areas, so I will divide the landuse along a road that helps me to reach the area (eg a school) so that I can exclude it while only using simple polygons. I will...

Brill, thanks for the Bushey example. I see there, though, you've also separated neighbouring areas along residential roads, not just primary-tertiary. Eg:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1299092269, & https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/12721...
7 ~ 9 months agoLordGarySugar There's nothing to read, it's just my own personal mapping style! I make use of osmuk cadastral parcels to trace landuse according to property boundaries. Basically anything that's part of a private residence inc. garden and driveway goes inside residential landuse and everything else...

Thank you for fixing this.

I recently noticed obsolete railway information disrupting Nominatim results and fixed some of these near where I live. I really appreciate your diligent work doing the same across the country.
2 ~ 9 months agoLordGarySugar My pleasure. My personal reason was because of all the nonexistent stations and junctions being shown on the new OpenRailwayMap vector version, which no longer shows abandoned and razed railways. I explained my rationale and methodology here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/proposal-removal-of...

Hi
As you've created MP ways without inners these need to be removed from the Bristol residential relation & converted to standard closed polygon ways.

Thanks. I'm reasonably sure that the crossings here have been upgraded from pelican to toucan since the last Bing street side image capture. I've added a note for confirmation, which will hopefully be resolved by one of the local mappers before my next visit.

It's a lot less common than on leisure=pitch or leisure=swimming_pool, but I think it's likely to be useful for data consumers searching for sport facilities.

Hi, There is usually no need for negative tags like intermittent=no or oneway=no as in their absence they are implied.

I've made minor amendments to the water areas.
