Malaghans Road is nowhere near here, either the location of this node or the address needs to change

in terms of next steps, I would suggest writing a detailed proposal based on the advice here: osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines so that the issues above can be discussed in detail

hi, i'd suggest pausing this import until the license issue is resolved, at the moment we don't have permission to use data from Stats NZ, so worst case this would have to be reverted 😐

there's a few other issues at changeset/170509160 that also need to be discussed

oops wrong link, should be https://datafinder.stats.govt.nz/layer/111235 and https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/113764

another problem is that this will cause 100,000+ validator warnings because StatsNZ and LINZ don't agree on suburb boundaries - compare SA3 (https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/113764 ) with https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/113764 at places like Milldale or Devonport

so this means `addr:suburb` won't match the enclosing `place=suburb` boundary. Also worth discussing, I feel like if we're going to import boundaries from a new dataset, there should be a plan to resolve this inconsistency for addresses....

.....but we can't use SA3 for addresses because we don't have an ODbL license waiver from Stats NZ who've changed their license from CC 3.0 to CC 4.0

okay, another point worth discussing is whether all the tags should go on the relation or the node.

I would suggest the relation, because that would help Template:Maplink on wikipedia. So the node would be left with just `place=*` and `name:*=*`. It's also what the australians do

what do you think?

shouldn't these be merged with the existing boundary lines? now there are two lines on top of each other

ups, i got confused by ko-KR. fixed now, thanks for noticing

Hi, can you please discuss this with the author of changeset/122935780 - it seems like it was intentionally downgraded when the new motorway opened

Hi, in the future could you please use a more helpful changeset comment? See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

could you also please explain why you deleted these driveways?

no worries, thanks for updating this. i've corrected the syntax now

Hi, in the future could you please use a more helpful changeset comment? See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

I see that you removed the name, has this company moved elsewhere? And if so, do you know who uses this factory now?

Hi, marking a building as demolished is somewhat complicated, what you need to do is open the "Tags" section and manually change "building" to "demolished:building" , see https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/11ee4ef7-3698-4ac9-b19b-f9ed95faa7d7

ah sorry, thought i fixed my discord notifications but evidently not 😆 let's discuss it over there

> "Many were incorrectly labelled as SI_xxxx"

Well, that's what the signs say. So they shouldn't be deleted since they do exist and do have this exact wording printed on them.

railway:signal:*:form=sign indicates that this is a static sign rather than a light.

If some yellow signs have a different purpose, you can indicate that with railway:signal:*:function - see osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging

> "The resources are public. [...] I'm not sure why we couldn't use them."

Unlike wikipedia, we can't just use copyrighted information, we need explicit permission. See osm.wiki/Copyright and osm.wiki/Contributors#Australia for a list of australian sources. If you want to use this information, you would need to email the company to get explicit consent

sure, fixed

thanks for the heads up, i've left a comment to ask about this

Hi, could you please help me understand why you deleted some of these signs? They still exist, I saw them last week while surveying the switch refs.

I'm also don't think we have permission to use the resources that you linked to....

oops, thanks for fixing it. There is work underway at https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/pull/1538 to make iD warn users about errors like this

Hi, please have a look at the comments here: changeset/169584545

I see that all these nodes are along the dividing line between the Waitematā and Ōkura River watershed areas, so are you adding these becaue some software requires it?
