Tagging something with a name only will not get it rendered.
Node: Marsden High School Australian Flagpole (7018845045) only has a name and OSM does not interpret names but will display them when associated with relevant tags. In this case see man_made=flagpole.

Hi,
The source for the address data for node Mill Building (7150221076) cannot be had from imagery. Did you mean survey?

The name will not show up as there are no physical tags here, and the name looks like it confuses the rendering of the address.

In this instance I would use the imagery to map be building as a closed way with the name on that and tag it building=yes or some more specific building type. Leave the node as the address, and delete the name from that. That should work.

Enjoy.

Best effort is all any of us can do.

Reason why I looked was because some 19% of building=farm have a name within Australia, I thought that would be higher. So I got the ones in NSW so I could add names to them from the LPI Base Map .. and yours turned up (similar to my collection in area).

Carry on, there is heaps to map.

Don't know the history of the farm/aux... OSM like us evolves. Such is life.

Good question on the homestead vs house.

My take is .. if you look on the LPI Base Map and it has a name then it is probably old enough to be a homestead, otherwise possibly a house. Very good question. No hard and fast rule from me, just a guide. And I can be wrong.

Yep, 'farms' too are evolving. Pre WW2 we had smaller farms, then they amalgamated as they got larger and larger tractors ... Now they are going back the other way with 'hobby farms'. Still have the larger farms out in the country, don't think those will disappear any time soon.

Oh, the LPI Base Map I think shows residences as filled in squares - solid black, where as the aux. are an outline only.

HI,
This round building Way: 640284121 ... is it a residence?

54694257

Hi,
the tag building=farm is for residential buildings on a farm. I believe these are building=farm_auxiliary i.e. not residences but sheds, barns etc ???

I think you have tagged the homesteads as building=house .. I personally prefer to segregate these homesteads from city homes by using building=farm.
Thoughts?

Hi,

Where a route uses a path and a road .. then don't overlay the path onto the road. Use a route relation that has both bits in it.
I have created a route relation for Old Salty Dog. This means the road in not 'one way' but the path is.

Tip:

Don't use the road way as a boundary. Use the LPI Base Map to get the boundary.

One of the reasons why the boundary should not be attached to the road .. mappers change the road not thinking about anything else using it .. and then the other thing gets distorted.
Another reason... the footpath (if there is one) in not the land use you have indicated.

This also altered the boundary for the national park.
I have repaired it so it 'works', but you may like to confirm the boundary is now correct.

This is rather coarse. Covers farm land, residential areas, water, wetlands ... etc.

Deleted.

Deleted this way.

Validator warnings in JOSM are merely an indicator that something might be wrong – but the validator may very well be mistaken.

In the case of land cover overlapping land use it is perfectly valid to have them overlap! Take all the validator warnings as just that an indication that something MAY be wrong and it should be checked. The validator in this case is mistaken.

Why is the validator not more precise? Because of all the exceptions! Example.

Overlapping of land cover with another land cover is an error.

Overlapping of a land cover with another land use is fine, unless the land use includes a surface tag (and is therefore both a land use and a land cover).

And so on...

Hi,

The area you have tagged as landuse=forest ... why is it all a land use? Why not simply tag it as trees (natural=wood)?

In any case the area contains various holes where there are no trees, so I have retagged it as a relation, natural=wood with various inners.

Hi,
Welcome to OSM.

The relationship you added for 15 Golden Wattle Street is incorrect. Multipolygon relations outer ways cannot share segments.
I think the rear square is a separate building, possibly a simple roof over a deck? In any event I have tagged the main building as the house and the smaller square as a simple building=yes.
Hope that helps.

I think you know far more about the area than me. So i think it is up to you to decide what to do.

Your definition of a riverbank says there is no vegetation growing in it. Yet this river bank has vegetation between the riverbanks...

80872208

The creek bank looks to be that when the creek is in flood... rather infrequent and deceptive mapping for Australia.

80872208

Some areas do overlap.
Your validator is being too pedantic. Ignore it, the validator can be wrong. Example trees can over lap into residential backyards thus overlap a 'landuse=residential'.

If you think the entry I made for landuse=commercial is worse than some other entry .. modify it so it is better. Or modify the other entry .. or both entries.

Hi,
This changeset has made the National park boundary wrong.

The cahngeseet comment does not tell me what you are trying to do.

Please read osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

This changeset has been reverted.

You should not use OSM for testing... I have reverted this edit.
