Hi, thanks for your contribution to OSM.

In this changeset you dragged a bunch of footpath nodes onto the road. See here: https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=171801167 I've since fixed this.

This, along with other changesets you've made, have had similar issues between them. Please take care when adding driveways not to drag nodes away from where they should be.

this looks like a driveway rather than a residential road

comment didn't go through: fix driveway from changeset/171667028; restore dragged node

source: bing

way/1427059666 looks more like a driveway than a residential road

way/1427061354 looks more like a driveway than a residential road

I second that, please keep the history rather than recreating ways in the same location. I'd suggest checking here for why this is considered good practice

osm.wiki/Keep_the_history

Also I'd advise reading this to inform yourself of other such practices, such as not tagging for the renderer, and leaving good changeset comments.

I've reverted this changeset for the aforementioned copyright reasons.

If it was removed in 2008 and there is no evidence of its existence on the ground now it probably shouldn't be mapped. Generally speaking, razed features are mapped in order to prevent other mappers from adding it back using outdated aerial imagery.

Also, I'm curious as to what your source is for the geometry here? Bing and Esri both show no evidence of this existing.

Could you fix the wikipedia tags for those relations? It should be *language*:*page title* rather than a URL.

E.g. wikipedia=en:Williamstown line rather than wikipedia=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamstown_line

I've also restored way/397260833 and way/403604215 as I've just noticed those were also deleted.

Hi,

You seem to have accidentally deleted the Hawksburn railway station way (way/714353207). I've restored it in changeset/170414467. Sometimes the stations are mapped as ways rather than nodes, so make sure to pay attention to what ways you are deleting when deleting landuses.

en:Belgrave railway line

would be the correct value for the wikipedia tag. please see here for some examples:

wikipedia=*

I've fixed it in changeset/170318784 :)

Thank you. I've noticed and am glad you've fixed those relations.

Your contributions here are invaluable and you've already added more route relations than I have in such a short time. Really appreciate your work here :)

I've been fixing minor issues with the routes whenever they come up, but it's so much easier now to add a missing way or to change a stop role when it's already in order and done properly.

You have gaps and unordered ways in this relation

https://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=pubtrans_routes&lon=145.01030&lat=-37.82519&zoom=13&baselayer=Geofabrik%20Standard&opacity=0.50&overlays=ptv2_routes_invalid%2Cptv2_error_ways%2Cptv2_error_nodes

Also, you have this route stopping at two different platforms at flinders which seems wrong for a single route

Hi, did you intend to delete the train stations on this line?

I've checked all 15 route relations and all of these have the same issues as I've previously discussed with you... You do understand that you are breaking things, right?

If you don't believe me, check this tomorrow (the issues shown today are already fixed by me): https://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=pubtrans_routes&lon=145.08489&lat=-37.82686&zoom=12&baselayer=Geofabrik%20Standard&opacity=0.50&overlays=ptv2_routes_invalid%2Cptv2_error_ways%2Cptv2_error_nodes (it'll show most of these as having errors as you added the ptv2 tag to the routes...)

I've fixed all your mistakes (again) here: changeset/169269117

Please see the relations and how the members are **ordered** and have appropriate **roles** and learn from it.

FYI you've created a gap in the Sunbury line (relation/17544633) and the stops in several routes were not ordered properly and were missing the "stop" role. I've fixed the stop order in changeset #169228611, but not the gaps (you can fix that). Please practice care around these relations as it can be difficult to figure out what you've intended to happen and that in turn makes it harder to correct the errors accordingly.

Also, I just noticed that you've made a lot of route relations that are complete unordered messes. These were harder to find as they were missing the public_transport:version=2 tag. I've not the time to attempt to fix them, so I'd advise that you compile a list of the routes so that you can fix them once you learn how to.

Hi,

I've partially reverted this changeset in changeset/169174921 and restored the crossing (node/5158305356). I've confirmed in a recent survey that there is indeed an unmarked crossing there with the kerb lowered on both sides. There's no indication that it isn't a crossing. It connects the two paths and is naturally used as a crossing, so I've restored it as such. Please don't remove it!

I've fixed the issues in here: changeset/169048251

I would appreciate it if you could at least be receptive in the comments rather than just expecting others to clean things up!
