Hi Sam, can you take a look Duaboni 1 from https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1335766401 to confirm https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2164260850
22024-11-20 09:31Sammyhawkrad Duaboni 1 seems to be the right location. Verifying from my sources the label could be pointing to one of the two locations.

Hello! https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5940464540/history has amenity = church that was added in this edit (if I checked things correctly)
What you meant by amenity=church? It seem to be not documented value and it seems to be a duplicate of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dplac...
22024-04-11 14:09Sammyhawkrad Hi Mateusz,
you are definitely correct. This should be place_of_worship. It's an edit from my early days and I guess OsmAnd didn't help with a good suggestion.

Fixing it right away.

Hello
It's not the first time when you added linkedin tag that is not used by anyone except you in OSM. Others social links without contact: prefix are also not very popular. Consider using https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:contact:* scheme

Hello! Please use the standard keys! See
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=whatsapp#keys
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=linkedin#keys
What ist the source and license of the import?
22023-09-06 12:54Sammyhawkrad Keys without the contact prefix are equally valid.
This is more of an update than an import. The name of the company has changed so I updated the names and added information gathered from their website. Each of item has a source tag

♦20,494
Please reconsider your way of thinking with regard to the mentioned keys. Just because one spelling looks the same to people, the evaluation for linkedin must now be adapted. In my opinion, you are welcome to stick to the spelling without contact for your phone, email and facebook.

I have moved this node to the nearest building that looks more like a church, could you kindly review/confirm/revert. Thank you.
22021-07-29 15:34Sammyhawkrad I think you have placed it at the right location. I added it from the position of a note

Seems no visible strutures exist around node, may be take a look again. Also use ISO8601 for dates i.e. yyyy-mm-dd
22021-05-17 22:48Sammyhawkrad It's a new school, the building structure is not visible on the available satellite imagery yet.

If the feature has always been listed as sourced form Google, it should be deleted rather than have its history obscured.
22019-12-27 21:32Sammyhawkrad Are you saying I should delete the whole feature?
32019-12-29 15:01InsertUser
♦466
I would think so. The problem isn't that the tag contains a banned word, the problem that the source is one that OSM doesn't have permission to use.

Have you meant something like https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aamenity%3Dwaste_disposal ?
22021-01-18 00:46Sammyhawkrad No I didn't mean that. If you check the area, you can see that different waste tags have been used with each meeting the tagging convention. amenity=waste_dump_site here is used for unauthorised and indiscriminate waste disposal points.

Maybe landuse=landfill + informal=yes would fit in such case? See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dlandfill "Unofficial dumping grounds"
42021-01-18 01:12Sammyhawkrad It isn't a landfill site so it cannot be tagged as such. amenity=waste_disposal, amenity=waste_basket, amenity=recycling have all been used here but in this instance none of them fits. This is a local tag to meet a local need.

Thanks! I added it to OSM Wiki page documenting this tag.

And I can say that landuse=landfill + informal=yes was definitely used for such cases.

(though https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like definitely applies here)

Привет! Возможно будет точнее ставить building=house если там коттеджики \\ отдельные дома 😊

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building=house
22020-03-18 14:45Sammyhawkrad Благодарю. Я картографирую удаленно, и я не знаю использование здания, поэтому я просто иду со зданием = да

For this road ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/646002848#map=19/33.06952/-4.27385 ) you fixed the typo with `smoothness`, but you didn't change the value which was `verry_bad`, and that's incorrect. 😉
22019-09-10 14:27Sammyhawkrad So you have corrected that. Thanks!. I might not have looked at that one

Hello Sammyhawkrad, in this changeset you have made a "mechanical edit" which is not a good idea. See here for details: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/What%27s_the_problem_with_mechanical_edits%3F

22019-06-23 18:32Sammyhawkrad We do learn everyday. Don't we? I have never given this a thought. Thanks for the heads up and info, going forward I will do it the right way.

I actually used "Bing" though.

One more thing - in https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/661932063 (and possibly others) I'm guessing that "Feild" is spelt wrong and might actually need to be "Field".
Best Regards,
Andy
