wow, that's a huge changeset. Wasn't it possible to reduce the size of the bbox? And is the mechanical edit discussed in the mailing list / forum? If yes, can you link it? Thanks!
2 ~ 3 years agowardmuylaert Hello, it was just a few incorrect key values where people had typoed and forgotten an "s".
3 ~ 3 years agowardmuylaert Does the bbox size matter?

Hello,

Adding bilingual names on streets in places with language facilities is generally okay—especially when the street signs show the two languages—make sure to update the addresses on buildings accordingly. (Example here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/864610407) Otherwise, thi...
2 ~ 3 years agowardmuylaert Hey, I only updated small ways to be consistent with the rest of their streets, those buildings were already violating. (Not that I disagree with you, just that I did not cause it this time :P)
3 ~ 3 years agobxl-forever
♦3,052
OK, thanks. I started updating the addresses to match your changes, to solve that problem.

It is imperative for routing engines, opencyclemap.org, and cyclosm.org that the Perkiomen Trail relation remain a Bicycle Route relation. It IS also a foot trail, so all member ways should also have a second relation of either Walking Route, Hiking Route, or simply Route. But a Bicycle Route relati...
2 ~ 3 years agowardmuylaert Hey, apologies for any trouble that caused. I had made a similar change at the time to the SRT (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1541998). I am currently abroad and haven't set up jOSM on this laptop yet, so I cannot fix the SRT in the same manner myself. Could you fix it too? If not, I c...
3 ~ 3 years agowardmuylaert Duplicated SRT accordingly just now.

Hello,

Pardon my curiosity but what is the Σ sign supposed to mean here?
cuisine=belgian;∑

(Incidently, "Belgian" restaurants in Belgium are usually tagged as cuisine=regional.)
2 ~ 3 years agowardmuylaert Hmm, it seems when trying to hide the OSM data in ID editor (option-w on a macos keyboard), that node must have still been focused. Macos has some weird useless characters behind its option-letters. I'll fix both, my bad

Hiya. The relation you edited is for the World Heritage Convention zone for the Lake District, not the national park relation.

Would your name changes be better on the national park relation? https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/287917 That‘s what people normally are referring to when the...
2 ~ 3 years agowardmuylaert Hey. That is a very good point, I missed that distinction entirely. Thank you for pointing it out, I agree with your assessment.

I should be able to change it later today (or if you're feeling eager you're welcome to do so before then).

Hello,
I want to inform you there are some issues with this edit, caused by automatic fixes suggested by iD.
We have opened a few tickets to warn iD developers of bad auto fixes (for instance, it links to French-speaking Wikipedia for De Lijn instead of Dutch).
I recommend to be particularly caut...
2 ~ 5 years agowardmuylaert Seems I incorrectly assumed the "update tags" was handled by the relevant local communities. Apologies, I'll refrain from using it.

Don’t worry, it was not your fault, and it was not easy to know.
Happy mapping.

Hi,

just out of curiosity, what was the routing issue here?
2 ~ 5 years agowardmuylaert Trying to route from the south sidewalk of Romeinsesteenweg to Oude Lindestraat made it go a detour to find a connection that crosses the road. My solution seemed nicer than adding more unmarked crossings, but I'm a bit biased against seemingly pointless sidewalk mapping when a tag on the stree...

Hello,
Just one thing here: the string " - " (space-hyphen-space) is reserved for multilingual names.
Validators will consider "Athénée royal Gatti de Gamond - Internat" to be a name written in several languages; Osmose and others will complain about missing trans...
2 ~ 5 years agowardmuylaert Totally forgot about that, good point. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm not entirely sure how much of the area belongs to the school without a survey (though I could probably guess from the hedges), so I just changed the name for now.

Hello,
Just one thing: please try to be very careful when working with ways used by buses.
Your changeset broke De Lijn 241 towards Brussels and it created a strange situation, with several ways moved further inside the route relation.
I fixed it.
2 ~ 5 years agowardmuylaert Ah damn, I thought I did it right with removing and readding. Is there somewhere I can read up on what I did wrong?

Nice initiative. I can’t think of anything better than amenity=clinic, it was a good choice, then.
Did some minor fixes. I’ll try to re-use this to add the 3 other ones.

Hello,
Why did you undo the changes about small parking spaces and turned them into amenity=parking?
Example here:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/402628154/history
If each of them is a full-size parking area, then apps such as StreetComplete will bug users and ask to give a name. And there i...
2 ~ 5 years agowardmuylaert Hey,

They caught my attention cause ID said the tags should be upgraded. Clicking upgrade added capacity=1.

I must have interpreted the meaning of the tag incorrectly/differently. I had not seen parking_space before and ID calls it "a single parking space" which I interpreted as a sp...

Hello,
"abbr_name" is an undocumented key.
We usually use "short_name". Maybe that is what you are looking for. Do you mind if I fix your changes containing this tag?
2 ~ 6 years agowardmuylaert My bad, go ahead. I often just rely on the autocomplete in the webeditor so if it shows up there I feel safe. Evidently wasn't a good idea :P
