Hello,

Please make sure to read the instructions when using StreetComplete.

The quest for recycling containers explicitely mentions the name of the operator.

One of the containers is operated by Terre. They collect clothes.

In your edit, you mentioned that this container is for glass bottles.
node/427547398/history/7

This is incorrect. Terre does not collect glass bottles. You used the wrong value, this is for the pair of containers by Bruxelles-Propreté/Net Brussel just besides.

I have a picture from the area, taken in July.

It looks like there is only the glass container and that the Terre container is gone. Was it like this?

I don’t want to discourage you too much, but please observe that you have added *a lot* of new objects to OSM today, many of which were badly-tagged, non-existing or misplaced.

People will not want to use OSM if information they find here is incorrect or misleading. We have had enough cases of people trying to play games on us by adding fantasy information just to see if we notice. Doing this might get you banned from editing the map.

node/13248243181/history/1
information=guidepost is a tag for a very specific type of device.

There is no such object here, as this recent picture confirms.
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=375921111313359

Let’s assume good faith. You wanted to map the street sign itself, didn’t you?

173593533

We don’t see a "city limit" sign here
node/13248235328/history/1

Your edit has been reverted.

173579010

OK, thanks. The reason I asked is that once "oneway=yes" is set on a road, navigation software will see it as a one-way street even for cyclists. We use additional tags when we have such exemptions.

I fixed your edit: way/1092017457

Have a nice day.

Hello,

OpenStreetMap is a geographical database of the world. It is a waste of time (and a risk of data corruption) to repeat the same information on multiple objects in the database.

We had to revert your edit.

173579010

Thanks for this.

One-way only for cars or is there an exemption for cyclists (M2) or cyclists+moped A (M3) here?

Pourquoi écrivez-vous les adresses uniquement en français dans une commune en Flandre svp ?

173529066

Hello, and welcome back.

It looks like you typed the address of the building onto the place by mistake.

We don’t need to write the addresses on multiple places. A clean database mandates that addresses are only written once (on the container building or on an address point).

Adding the website of a business is okay, but not the street address. I fixed this.

## REVERTED CHANGESET

You changed a small rural building to give it the name of your online gambling business, with a bunch of incorrect tags (for instance, claiming the height of this building is… 0 metres). Your edit has been rejected.

173486542

Hello,

Thanks for this.

Your edit has raised some questions, though. According to your changeset, the entire building is only nbr 10… but it also has a door for nbr 12 on its southern edge… whereas there is already a house with nbr 12 (way/99206077) between this building and nbr 14.

I know that municipalities sometimes create messy situations, and government data may occasionally be wrong. Is the situation really like that???

Could I please suggest you have a second look at your edit.

I believe the door (node/13243027192) should be tagged as being nbr 10, while removing the address from the container building itself.

173480225

Hello,

"ref" is the correct tag.

We don’t artificially set "names" on such objects.

Did anyone request that you would do this? Can you please tell us why?

Thanks in advance.

173443896

Hello,

Please do not remove such nodes from the database. Your edit broke an address relation and erased the history of the object. This is not how we map.

If a business is not there anymore, simply remove the tags associated with that business.

I fixed your edit, retagging the node as shop=vacant.

Hello,

Thanks for this.

However, wouldn’t it be better to upload data as separate changesets per theme or area. A real description of what you did is also better than a 4 word riddle.

I see that you:
* Changed the fares on a camping site in Metz.
* Added more information like opening hours on camping sites near Gent.
* Added a drinking fountain in Minnewaterpark in Brugge.
* Confirmed that horses may not use a footpath, somewhere north of Middelkerke.

I don’t see problems with the content of the changes, but IMHO it would have been friendlier to your fellow mappers to upload this as 4 separate changesets instead of a single one with a 385 km diagonal.

Thanks and happy mapping.

Bonjour,

"oneway=yes" mais pas d’exception pour les cyclistes ici ?

173234521

Vous avez mis amenity=fountain.
C’est ceci : amenity=fountain?uselang=en

Vraiment une fontaine en pleine nature ?

Je crois qu’il y a une erreur → peut-être ceci était souhaité : amenity=drinking_water

173239259

AFAIK, this mural no longer exists, because the building along which it had been painted, has been razed.

This is very clearly stated in the object on the map, and in the changeset description.
node/4591422703

I will revert your edit.

173211100

Hello,

Please avoid clicking on "suggestions" from the iD editor. A lot of those suggestions are plainly wrong, in particular those related to public transport. (The list they use for their suggestions contains bad values, for instance they do not know that the Brussels metro system has the same operator as the tram, and they consequently suggest "upgrading the tags" and add incorrect values.)

I restored previous data, and pushed one more commit this morning to request updating the name-suggestion-index, hoping they will finally address the issue and prevent new people from repeatedly making the same mistakes.

What you can do to help: continue mapping normally but avoid those automatic suggestions for PT infrastructure. ;-)

Thanks.

173224206

Hello,

There is already a building with housenumber 9, on the other side of the street. Your edit created a duplicate address… in the middle of a park.

Would you mind having a second look?

173110970

You don’t need to send the document.
If those names are visible for anyone passing by, that is okay.

I suggest you add the names on the various buildings, if you want. Just make sure that if the name is different in French and Dutch, the public name includes both languages.

Hello, and welcome to OSM.

Thanks for this, the changes look good.

It is advised to upload changes separately. Per theme and/or per area.

Next time, if you want to change a speed limit on one area, add the surface type elsewhere, and add the number of lanes on another, unrelated, road, it is best to upload them as separate changesets, each with a changeset title correctly describing what it is about. This makes peer review much easier.

Thanks in advance.
