Hello, please consider how the creeks cross railways and roads, because your edits are causing Osmose errors that can be fixed easily.

Please see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bridge for rail and road bridges, and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tunnel%3Dculvert for creeks.

Oh, one thing that makes kerb mapping a lot easier in JOSM is to the Colored Kerbs map style I created. I think it should be available for everyone in the map styles list in Preferences.

I have fixed now. I have not intentionally added any new Gondwana parts, just fixed the overlapping ways and duplicated nodes through JOSM from Capad updates. I will check against the Gondwana data for this area.

Hi nevw,

I'm wondering how it's possible to create a new, extremely wrong farm multipolygon while doing a maproulette cleanup task?

Just kidding,
but I'm still interested in the reason.

even if it translated, it's common in OSM not to add translations but only name:<lg> if the feature is known by that foreign language name. Although I'm not strongly one way or the other.
22017-08-29 12:55nevw Yes, I agree.
This one was a bit unusual and...
name=Manly Wharf\twas changed to name=Manly Wharf 玛丽海滩
So normally I would correct to...
name=Manly Wharf\t and add
name:zh=玛丽海滩
But though it may be correct, Google translated to "Mary Beach" so I just left it as...
