| 2 | 2023-06-11 15:04 | cRaIgalLAn | Hi Amany_Osama; thank you for being concerned about quality of OSM data. By your name you're African, probably Luo, so not trying to impose European standards on Africa. I hope we can reach a happy resolution to your comment. I am guided by https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_... | |
| 3 | 2023-06-12 10:38 | Amany_Osama ♦4 | Hello cRaIgalLAn;Thank you for clarifying these points about desert roads and participating to develop the OSM networkbut there are errors found on the OSM network on unconnected roads so we turn these roads to be tracks, that made me update the classification and in future as you mention hope ... | |

In that case I would remove these prefixes and just leave a fixme note. Because the power line is there, maybe in a slightly different place. |
| 2 | 2022-07-28 11:16 | cRaIgalLAn | Hi Mueschel - thanks for the useful comment. Agreed that the line is there, and the photo is old. The line is certainly positioned close to the 'pending' alignment. Yet I'm reluctant to firmly put things on the map that I can't see or can deduce with high certainty. I'll kee... | |

| 2 | 2022-05-09 16:47 | cRaIgalLAn | That short way is a section of the boundary of the Wenge Bas Health Area, which is defined by a 14 piece relation. It was inserted by a previous user. I have no reference source for the health area so I can't agree to it or dispute it. I would idly observe in passing that river banks are unusu... | |

| 2 | 2022-06-13 08:33 | cRaIgalLAn | Hi Guido, The way in which you say things seems to imply that I am stupid, which is wrong in several ways. I understand and respect that you may be writing in a 2nd or 3rd language so subtleties of tone are sometimes tricky. On OSM we try hard for politeness. It is better for building the or... | |
| 3 | 2022-06-13 09:32 | gscholz ♦2,778 | Hi Craig,thanks for your response, but actually the implications you perceived are a clear misunderstanding of my intentions. If you need some help do not hesitate to contact me.CheersGuido | |

| 45677321 by cRaIgalLAn @ 2017-01-31 08:13 | 1 | 2021-01-01 18:46 | user_5359 ♦19,340 | Hello! Short question to this changeset. What is the meaning of this number (before value of the key name now of the key site): Is this more a addr:housenumber or a property number? |
| 2 | 2021-01-01 19:02 | cRaIgalLAn | Hello, They are municipal house numbers. They were originally on a plan I got of the town, but they are not generally used, so are meaningless to the general public. I'm (slowly) removing them. If you would like to help to remove the numbers please do so. Note that Lamu has no street names or ... | |
| 3 | 2021-01-01 19:17 | user_5359 ♦19,340 | I would be happy to help you. What do you think about another key (site is usually used to better describe a relation of the type site)? I could think of the key ref:KE:municipal. | |
| 4 | 2021-01-01 19:18 | user_5359 ♦19,340 | By the way: Happy New Year | |
| 5 | 2021-01-01 19:42 | cRaIgalLAn | Thanks for the HNY - you too. It can only get better! I'm cautios about using a key that is not mainstream OSM and that is not officially maintained. It is just misleading to users who think it has some currency. The plan was useful to help me capturing many of the buildings, but it is provin... | |
| 92951996 by cRaIgalLAn @ 2020-10-23 13:19 | 1 | 2020-12-08 03:04 | geo_roads ♦42 | Hi cRalgalLAn, thanks for mapping. I see that you changed the routes to Fachi and Bilma from unclassified to primary. I think primary roads should only connect major cities (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa#Values_based_on_economic_and_social_dimension_of_the_road) but these se... |
| 2 | 2020-12-08 07:35 | cRaIgalLAn | Hi geo, the route is designated by the Niger government as a National Route (!!!) and it is clearly the primary (only?) way to connect two huge if sparse regions. For me that indicates a *function* of being an important route even if the form of the road is a sand track and the urban form of Bilma d... | |
| 3 | 2020-12-08 08:33 | cRaIgalLAn | For interest: https://sahara-overland.com/tag/bilma/ | |
| 4 | 2020-12-08 19:02 | geo_roads ♦42 | Sure, let’s leave it as primary. I agree that classification should be based on function rather than form. I just thought that since it is such a sparsely populated region compared to the rest of Niger, the route is functionally less important. I’ll upgrade the rest of the route to Agade... | |
| 95159648 by cRaIgalLAn @ 2020-12-02 13:41 | 1 | 2020-12-02 14:37 | Colin Smale ♦318 | Hi... What's your source for the admin boundary around Sule Stack, and why is it better than the "official" line surveyed by Ordnance Survey? As you will understand the data of the state survey agency is likely more reliable than aerial photography, especially up there in Orkney. |
| 2 | 2020-12-02 15:34 | cRaIgalLAn | Hello Colin. My line is based on trust of the spatial alignment of aerial photo suppliers, who (recently) have proved to be remarkably good globally at getting pictures in the right position. I checked all four of them first. You trust someone else. How do you want to resolve this? - Craig Allan | |
| 3 | 2020-12-02 16:04 | Colin Smale ♦318 | Hi Craig...My instinct says that government surveyors have probably been on site at some stage with sub-cm-level accuracy equipment, and the coordinates of the nodes have been transformed mathematically to the locations you see now in OSM. I appreciate you know a lot more about aerial photography th... | |
| 4 | 2020-12-03 12:38 | cRaIgalLAn | Ok Colin, Given all the uncertainties and the relative unimportance of getting this rock perfect I reverted the boundary and put the coast a bit above the visible waterline. I'm moving on now. Thanks for your input. Craig | |
| 88174123 by cRaIgalLAn @ 2020-07-18 11:32 | 1 | 2020-07-18 14:05 | ftcat ♦208 | Hi,I see you are attempting to rework the Zambia Mozambique border. I would be interested to know the source of your information. I have found that many of the online sources are not entirely accurate. Added to this a number of the borders are disputed anyway and are not respected by the people ... |
| 2 | 2020-07-18 18:37 | cRaIgalLAn | Thanks for the interesting comments - if you could contact me on my user page we can chat at length about my approach. I assure you I am going slowly and carefully with the emphasis on maximum accuracy, using the actual treaty documentation. I am not interested in speed. And don't believe Bi... | |

| 35641086 by cRaIgalLAn @ 2015-11-29 07:00 | 1 | 2015-12-10 09:33 | amapanda ᚛ᚐᚋᚐᚅᚇᚐ᚜ 🏳️🌈 ♦363 | Hi, what's going on here? This is almost certainly junk? |
| 2 | 2015-12-10 10:26 | cRaIgalLAn | Perhaps its an Irish thing, but leaping into a discussion with a stranger by calling their work 'junk' is not constructive. It more like a good way to start a flame war or revive the 'troubles' online.The little test strip is very useful to me in coding up map features in Kenya... | |
| 35706454 by cRaIgalLAn @ 2015-12-02 13:46 | 1 | 2015-12-04 09:32 | fred13 ♦6 | Hi GCA,you could use another background in Potlach 2 to map the parts of this wood where "Bing aerial imagery" is not good enough. Just select "Mapbox Satellite" as background.Greetings and keep up the good work! |
| 33054546 by cRaIgalLAn @ 2015-08-02 18:59 | 1 | 2015-12-01 15:42 | fred13 ♦6 | Hallo GCA,there are partially two borders in Tunduma now. Could you please check & fix.Thank you! |
| 2 | 2015-12-02 11:01 | cRaIgalLAn | Fixed. The original Anglo-German treaty that set the boundary during the Berlin Conference in 1884-1885 is not to be found online, so I used secondary data from the USA Department of State. | |
| 3 | 2015-12-02 11:16 | fred13 ♦6 | Great, thank you! | |
| 4 | 2015-12-03 17:19 | fred13 ♦6 | Seems like it was not everything OK and there was a problem with the relations of the border.. It was apparently fixed in this changeset:https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/35724008 | |
| 5 | 2015-12-03 17:39 | cRaIgalLAn | Yes, I see that. Patching in a new piece led to accidentally damaging the relations. I am carefully adjusting the Kenya / Tanzania border and Kenya coast without ever breaking the line - I should have done that here ~~~~ | |
