| 2 | 2025-03-26 13:09 | apm-wa | David, greetings,Boundaries by definition are lines and not areas. I ask that you not remove the tags.cheers,apm | |
| 3 | 2025-03-26 13:22 | Aleksandar Matejevic ♦199 | Hi apm-wa, actually, I think you have mistaken border and boundary. Border is a way, boundary is an area. Also, pero OSM Wiki, it says it is an area https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:boundary so area=no has no point at all. | |
| 4 | 2025-03-26 19:39 | apm-wa | Well, that's interesting when you consider that according to the Cambridge Dictionary, a boundary is "a line that divides two areas or forms an edge around an area:The mountains mark the boundary between the two countries." https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/learner-engl... | |
| 5 | 2025-03-26 19:41 | apm-wa | Perhaps the wiki needs to be corrected, since a border is a specific type of boundary, and both are by definition and in reality lines, not areas. | |

I hope you're well !I've just map an area (on this way https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/553030385) and I saw that you've put an "fixme=Need ground truth to determine what this campus is."I'm really curious ! Have you been able to determine what it is ?... |
| 142117450 by apm-wa @ 2023-10-03 20:32 | 1 | 2024-01-27 11:16 | lonvia ♦37 | Hi, you've added a number of villages in this changeset and added place tags as well as boundary=administrative tags to their nodes. This is unusual tagging and has Nominatim confused (https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim/discussions/3306). The boundary=administrative and admin_level should ... |
| 2 | 2024-01-28 01:16 | apm-wa | Please read https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Boundaries, which includes this statement: "area The original accepted usage was to only apply this tag to areas.relation+way However there now seems to be a consensus of using the boundary key also on linear ways, with relations used to a... | |
| 3 | 2024-01-28 01:34 | apm-wa | I have double-checked the nodes for the villages in this changeset; none of the nodes includes the boundary=* key. That key has been applied only to the linear boundaries encircling the villages. If Nominatim has a problem with linear boundaries that is fodder for a pull request. | |
| 4 | 2024-01-29 08:52 | lonvia ♦37 | First node in this changeset: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11237047754 has boundary=administrative, area=no, admin_level=9 | |
| 5 | 2024-01-29 10:23 | lonvia ♦37 | Oh well, now you have inspired me to look closer at the boundary ways. The tagging there is slightly odd as well. There is an 'area=no' tag, so I guess you mean to only map the linear boundaries (as you also say above). But the way also has a place=village tag. That is a contradiction to a... | |
| 6 | 2024-01-29 16:56 | apm-wa | Ah, the errant node has been corrected. That was a mistake. | |
| 7 | 2024-01-29 16:59 | apm-wa | Odd that key:place cannot be used with lines, since the definition on the wiki page includes this: "Defines the center or outline of a named place". An outline is a line. | |
| 125411710 by apm-wa @ 2022-08-26 15:08 | 1 | 2023-03-15 19:12 | mapperich ♦47 | I guess you're wrong here. wiki says about railway=subway_entrance: "...Name of the exit if it is known. Not the name of the station..." |
| 64776928 by apm-wa @ 2018-11-22 11:13 | 1 | 2020-06-14 21:13 | Mateusz Konieczny ♦7,574 | What is the status of https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5713190575/history ?Is it just planned? Under construction? |
| 2 | 2020-06-14 23:52 | apm-wa | Under construction. If you web-search "TAPI" and "Turkmenistan" you can find articles about it. It was supposed to be finished in 2019 but of course it is taking longer :-) | |
| 60105002 by apm-wa @ 2018-06-23 16:52 | 1 | 2020-06-14 21:33 | Mateusz Konieczny ♦7,574 | https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5432561726 - is there any memorial/marker/etc on this place?Mapping locations of events is out of scope for OSM, but maybe there is a physical object there that can be mapped. |
| 2 | 2020-06-14 23:50 | apm-wa | Hi, Mateusz, there is a pipeline connection here. I marked this to make it easier to map the pipeline when it is constructed. Supposedly the pipe has been procured and laid but not welded together yet. | |
| 82739227 by apm-wa @ 2020-03-28 03:13 | 1 | 2020-03-28 08:40 | Alecs01 ♦1,423 | Hi, I walked there a few times and I'm pretty sure those are consulate offices open to the public. Do you think it may have been moved recentely? |
| 2 | 2020-03-28 14:00 | apm-wa | Hi, thanks for checking. The official Egyptian MFA website here https://www.egyptembassy.org/location/italy/egypt-consolate-milan/ lists the address as Via Porpora 26. But I notice the Milan consulate's Facebook page lists Via timavo 17. Is the Via Porpora address obsolete (i.e., the Egyptia... | |
| 3 | 2020-03-28 14:10 | apm-wa | Can you shed any light on this "consulate of Egypt in Milan" as well? https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5359566585 I cleaned up the tags but it is also not attested anywhere else. Many thanks. It would be unusual for any country to have multiple consular offices in one city. | |
| 4 | 2020-03-28 15:22 | Alecs01 ♦1,423 | You're doing a fine job I believe. I'll have a look at both places, can't say when given the circumstances. | |
| 5 | 2020-03-28 15:41 | apm-wa | Understood. I am only "armchair mapping" myself these days for obvious reasons. Could you perhaps call the consulate +39 02 2951 6360 and ask for clarification? | |
| 71224337 by apm-wa @ 2019-06-13 16:14 | 1 | 2019-10-13 00:37 | alexey_zakharenkov ♦235 | Hi.I noticed you set layer=* tag on many things in an odd manner. E.g., what does layer=-1 means on the school territory http://osm.org/way/696953991 ? |
| 2 | 2019-10-13 00:48 | apm-wa | This is not strange. Because buildings are by default set to layer=0, if you set grounds at layer=-1, the buildings and grounds are rendered correctly in the standard layer. | |
| 3 | 2019-10-13 00:49 | apm-wa | In other words, the buildings are rendered ABOVE the ground, not below the ground :-) | |
| 4 | 2019-10-13 01:25 | alexey_zakharenkov ♦235 | I'm sure you do unproper usage of layer tag. Buildings are by default rendered above the ground by any good render. Have you got into trouble with building rendering in some application? | |
| 5 | 2019-10-13 03:15 | apm-wa | This is the proper method. Please read this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:layer | |
| 6 | 2019-10-13 23:23 | SomeoneElse ♦13,357 | Hello,(commenting here after reading a forum post) Setting landuse to layer -1 "so that it is rendered underneath buildings" isn't normal practice; layer is usually only used to indicate the relative level of crossing ways (as the key:layer page says "Layer provides absolutel... | |
| 7 | 2019-10-13 23:59 | apm-wa | Andy, I have used this (and seen others using it) when buildings were not rendered properly over grounds in the standard layer. Perhaps the various upgrades of the rendering software have rendered this approach obsolete. In any case, the intent is to have buildings appear above the ground, which i... | |
| 68082505 by apm-wa @ 2019-03-13 00:23 | 1 | 2019-03-14 08:29 | Aleks-Berlin ♦481 | Hi apm-wa, why the school has layer=-1 ?Alex |
| 2 | 2019-03-14 16:34 | apm-wa | Hi, Alex. The default level is 0 so buildings drawn on the school grounds will appear above the ground in the standard layer if the grounds themselves are set at -1. Otherwise in the standard layer the buildings may disappear under the grounds. | |
| 65816686 by apm-wa @ 2018-12-27 15:50 | 1 | 2018-12-27 17:23 | Rich1234 ♦85 | Was there a reason why you deleted all of my 3D building (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_3D_buildings) data for The Doctors building here? It is now back to a simple rectangle and has lost all of the 3D elements that I added back in September. |
| 2 | 2018-12-27 17:33 | apm-wa | Building footprint was not correct. The Doctors Building's footprint is a simple rectangle. I am presently located about a mile away and can photograph it using Mapillary to provide a perspective view if that would be helpful. | |
| 3 | 2018-12-27 18:22 | apm-wa | My apologies. My bad. I confused it with another building. Just shot and uploaded a Mapillary image. Let me take a shot at restoring your 3D elements. | |
| 4 | 2018-12-27 18:52 | Rich1234 ♦85 | Reverting the change set would be the easiest way to restore the 3D elements. | |
| 5 | 2018-12-27 19:01 | Rich1234 ♦85 | Ah, but looking at it more closely, there is more in the change set than just The Doctors Building edits. So a simple revert would leave your other edits in limbo. | |
| 6 | 2018-12-27 20:47 | apm-wa | Well, this is probably what we could call a "teachable moment" for me. I don't mind trying my hand at manual restoration of the 3D lines if you would be willing to check the work. | |
| 7 | 2018-12-27 22:50 | apm-wa | Here, please take a look at let me know if this looks right. Heights are estimates based on eyeballing the Mapillary image. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/65826920 | |
| 8 | 2018-12-27 23:20 | Rich1234 ♦85 | I can do that, or I can do some experimenting with trying a partial reversion (the JOSM reverter plugin has a checkbox for 'partial reversion', I've just not yet attempted to do a partial).The reason I suggest trying reversion is that adding in the 3D lines was tedious, but straig... | |
| 9 | 2018-12-28 00:14 | Rich1234 ♦85 | The changes in 65826920 are very close. The building:levels and building:min-level tags are missing from the parts, and two of the parts don't fully connect (this is likely a symptom of using ID to make this complicated of an edit).I can fix up the remainder if you like, since I can obtain... | |
| 10 | 2018-12-28 00:56 | apm-wa | Sure, if you're willing, that sounds like a good fix. Which two parts didn't fully connect? Just curious. | |
| 11 | 2018-12-28 15:34 | Rich1234 ♦85 | See the image here: https://postimg.cc/FdTFYSR0Note, I checked in ID, and ID does not show this, it seems to show that everything connects. | |
| 65475192 by apm-wa @ 2018-12-14 14:27 | 1 | 2018-12-14 20:28 | Rich1234 ♦85 | Hi,Just noticed that the 'neighborhood' node here in this changeset (node 63975974) has the tag highway=traffic_signals on it. It looks like a copy/paste issue or something similar as I doubt you meant to have an isolated 'traffic signal' sitting in the middle of a grassy fiel... |
| 2 | 2018-12-14 20:51 | freebeer ♦1,598 | if you look at the node's history, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/63975974/history , i see it was dragged from a previous position as well as given the additional tags, losing the signal details at the same time.to visualise where it used to be, refer tohttps://osmlab.github.io/osm-de... | |
| 3 | 2018-12-14 20:56 | freebeer ♦1,598 | or to be even more precise, it was moved a bit, earlier, and converted into traffic signals from being a tag-less node, before the above.what happened before that is also clear from either history link and changeset comments | |
| 4 | 2018-12-14 20:57 | apm-wa | Thanks for catching that. A previous mapper had tagged the neighborhood as a hamlet and placed the node in the traffic light at the intersection of Kerns and Sleepy Hollow Roads, not the correct position for the neighborhood. I missed removing the highway=* tag when I split them up and correctly p... | |

| 62218092 by apm-wa @ 2018-09-02 12:19 | 1 | 2018-09-10 09:28 | roptat ♦101 | Hi, on the city node, there is a tag "old_postal_code=Okarem". Shouldn't it be "old_name=Okarem"? |
| 37408535 by apm-wa @ 2016-02-24 09:58 | 1 | 2016-05-10 06:34 | chnav ♦1,073 | Please note there cannot be 45 km of paving stones, this is Kazakhstan and such paving used in towns; footways only. Changing back to unpaved or ground.Another thing is there speed limit sign 40 km/h or this is practical speed ? Another tag shall be used then.Regards |
| 2 | 2016-05-10 06:37 | chnav ♦1,073 | Have added smoothness=bad | |
| 3 | 2016-05-10 08:51 | apm-wa | Hi, I drove that route last February and it was definitely paved with paving stones. It is an old Soviet-era road. Once the pavement started, it was excellent asphalt all the wave to Aktau. There is no sign, it is a practical speed due to condition of the roadway. | |
| 4 | 2016-05-10 19:54 | chnav ♦1,073 | Ok thanks for the info. | |
| 5 | 2016-05-10 20:06 | chnav ♦1,073 | Still looks unbelivable to me, paving stones were never used in USSR except footways, some squares etc. Take a look anything similar to this ? http://www.doroga.ua/Handlers/ContentImageHandler.ashx?ReportContentImageID=11786&Size=BigThanks |
