Hi, you seem to be drawing multiple lines on top of each other (see way/316766082 and way/1039204880). Please do not do this, OpenStreetMap uses relations for this purpose.

Perhaps you could explain what you're trying to achieve with your recent edits?

Hi, you seem to have deleted part of the coastline (way/318649956), and created a broken boundary (relation/13912523)

Any objection if I undo that part of your edit?

P.S. I see you're trying to split the current boundary for "Marlborough" into two identical boundaries for the "Marlborough District" and "Marlborough Region" with the same geographic area. I'm curious to know what the benefit of this change is, since it will cause some software to add a redundant extra line to street addresses:

e.g.
12 Example Street
Riversdale
Blenheim
Marlborough
Marlborough
New Zealand

oh i couldn't find an existing tag - there aren't many tags to describe theatres. Some tags like stage:width, stage:depth are already in use. maybe we need to write a proposal...

Thanks for noticing this, the automatic conflation can't detect addresses with only addr:housenumber and no addr:street. Since this is a relatively rare situation, I manually merged most of them as I noticed them. There were a few hundred across the country which were missed, but I merged most of these this morning. There are 180 more in wellington, but other than those, please let me know if you find any more

Hi, this is not fictional mapping. Please see Maxar Premium Imagery

I had a look this afternoon, since StreetComplete can't solve this issue (see discussion in the GitHub link above). There are about 3900 of these duplicate addresses in NZ. They can now be automatically merged by the address import tool (https://osm-nz.github.io)

Good idea, I've opened this issue to continue the discussion: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/3791

StreetComplete already disables the address quest if there's an address node within the building outline, but in NZ a lot of the address nodes are a few metres in front of the house

Hi, in general it's more useful if the address nodes are either merged into the building, or dragged within the building outline. So there is value in doing this StreetComplete quest.

To avoid duplicate addresses I think the LINZ-to-OSM address tool should delete the nodes if the address is included on the building. I'll see if that's easy to implement.

The other option is to disable this StreetComplete quest for all of NZ, which some countries have done (see https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/blob/master/app/src/main/java/de/westnordost/streetcomplete/quests/address/AddHousenumber.kt#L29-L35)

Hi, please see this lengthy discussion about place names in New Zealand, where it was decided that the official name should be used: https://lists.osm.org/pipermail/talk-nz/2021/thread.html#318

In this case, the official name is Whangārei, as per https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/place/48143

P.s. the spelling on every sign in my local area was changed to Whangārei over the past 3 months

Hi, since I didn't hear back from you, I've marked the driveway as "access=private" until you or someone else can confirm that it is indeed public. As always, anyone (including youself) is free to edit the access restrictions

Hi, sorry I couldn't find any guidelines about how landuse is normally mapped in america (I looked at osm.wiki/United_States/Tags and osm.wiki/Connecticut)

I've seen both extremes in the US - a whole suburb covered by a single `landuse=residential` area, and places where the landuse is split at every street, park, school, etc.

My intention was to draw the landuse first, then add the landcover ontop.
Of course I won't do it like that now, thanks for linking to that example.

Regarding the New Canaan Reservoir - sorry that was my mistake, that should definitely be excluded from the residential landuse

Hi, is there public access through here: way/43096122 ? Just wanted to check because walkingaccess.govt.nz doesn't suggest that it's public (see https://maps.walkingaccess.govt.nz/Viewer/?map=b1d1e76a6c754d11b3f3fd9dfce1eb12&extent=1758880.6292%2C5919683.4034%2C1759492.1254%2C5919953.6203%2C2193 )

oops, not sure how that happened, thanks for noticing. must have been a copy-paste error. I'm pretty sure this is http://selwyn.school.nz/Web/3339 , will confirm and then fix the tags

Hi, yes you're right. The wiki page for leisure=fishing is a bit vague about when/where it should be used. I now see that the latest version of iD warns you that leisure=fishing doesn't belong on unclosed ways. Should I move leisure=fishing to an area surrounding all the stakes?

Hi, thanks for noticing this. I've changed the tags to monitoring:PM10 and :PM2.5

Hi, there wasn't a specific email sent to the imports mailing list recently, most of the discussion has been on talk-nz. Not sure what was discussed when the import began many years ago, it's difficult to search the mailing lists.

> crevasses are not even mentioned there

They are mentioned in row 6 of this table: osm.wiki/LINZ#Antarctica

> temporary things like [link]

I have updated those 2 ways to use lifecycle prefixes instead of highway=track

> an undiscussed, undocumented and low quality import

Hi, I don't think any of these 3 points are correct. This import was discussed and documented extensively, and I'm still not sure why you think it is 'low quality'. I have replied to the email on the mailing list, perhaps that will clarify things?

Documentation is here: osm.wiki/LINZ, and there are many messages on the talk-nz, imports, and nzopengis mailing lists. I don't know how to search these mailing lists for specific emails.

I will also change the name of the editor from "LINZ Address Import" to "LINZ Data Import" to avoid confusion. All changesets made after 6/10/21 also have a changeset tag source=https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ

Hello, there's some background info on osm.wiki/LINZ - tagging for LINZ data layers was discussed on various wiki pages and mailing lists including imports, nzopengis, etc. before the layers were added to the former linz2osm tool. I don't know when crevasse-cl was discussed and natural=crevasse was decided, since the linz2osm tool no longer works. Most recently, there was discussion on talk-nz about continuing these layers, but no one gave feedback specifically on crevasses. Hope that answers your question

thanks!

Hi, why did you remove the name 'Auckland Areo Club'? It's the genuine name of the club, see https://aac.org.nz
