Nice but if you want to trace buildings, do not trace on… aerial pictures. Those pictures have an important distorsion and change every year.
Use the Digitaal Vlaanderen GRB background to trace buildings.

The correct tag is bicycle:backward=use_sidepath

Hello,

As you can see here, the bounding box associated with your change is fairly large and includes more things than this charging station in Delleur area.

It looks like you inadvertently damaged Etterbeek railway station platform 4 by dragging a node a few hundred metres north. I suppose it is a mistake, you are a new user and you probably did not realise you moved things… which you uploaded.

We repaired the damage here. Please exercice caution and use the Undo button in the online editor if you feel you moved something by mistake.

Thanks for adding new places.

We fixed your edits, in particular: addresses should not be repeated multiple times in the databases, city names and post codes are not repeated on individual objects in Belgium, and much more.

Nice… but if there is already a vacant shop, it is advised to re-use the existing node instead of creating a new node next to it.
osm.wiki/Keep_the_history

We fixed your edit.

Hello.

You created a pedestrian area inside… an existing pedestrian area. I understand that non-local mappers may be confused in our car-free area but despite it looks like there are roads, those are only used by delivery vehicles and residents.

Also, the surface of the area in the centre of the square looks like setts, not flat paving stones.

I will fix your edit.

164982928

Please do not repeat addresses on shops/restaurants/etc., we don’t do this anymore.

We fixed your edit.

I see the problem now.
On the Foodmaker website they have a problem with their database and empty values are printed as a weird "0000000" character string.
https://foodmaker.be/v4/?pagina=fmRestaurants&accept=all

My request to you (and your other team members) is the following.
If you see such weird values, please ignore them and do not import those non-existing phone numbers into OSM.

Apart from that, thanks for the good work you are doing.

164923427

Hello,

Pardon my asking but it looks like something weird happened with this changeset:

node/12488402635/history

Version 1 included a valid phone number.

You replaced it with "+32 00000000" which is obviously a non-number. It looks like an automated change made by your software.

Either Foodmaker does not have a phone number anymore—and in that case the key should be removed entirely—or there is something wrong with the software you use to import data into OSM.

This comment also applies to those two other changesets of yours
changeset/164923379
changeset/164923427

Can you please have a look.

Gateau was already on the map here
node/12718985279, your edit creates a duplicate within the same building.

Organic Maps does not show all the existing/current data, please always check against live data first.

164887676

Hello,

Thanks for adding a cafe.
Some advice, though:

1) There is already a building with an address here: way/705257473 Adding a cafe as a floating node inside it is correct… but please do not add the address on the cafe itself, because now we have two places (the building and the cafe) that are defined for the same address. It is not necessary (and not wanted) to repeat addresses on places.

2) Phone numbers always in the international format (+32 10… instead of 010…)

We will fix it.

Hope this helps.

164844471

We had to fix a lot of stuff here.

Please make sure not to create duplicate address points, do not duplicate the same information on buildings and nodes, and if a car dealer sells multiple brands, there is only *one* node on OSM and not one per brand. Use the "brand" tag correctly to store the list of brands (not in the public name).

You will find a corrected version here:
node/12749963039

164846922

Hello,

Nous n'avons aucune trace d'une résidence nommée Willendyck à Forest. Ça semble être une maison d'habitation.
way/230672458

Pourquoi donner un nom à ce bâtiment ?

164831279

Hello,

This changeset seems to be much more than just changing a Colruyt. I see you spend a lot of time mapping but could you use a few more seconds to start typing real changeset descriptions for your changes.

Just asking: i see you are using the landuse category to map… individual plots as landuse=residential like here: way/1376863124 Wouldn’t place=plot be a more appropriate choice? place=plot

164809234

Hello,

This is not useful and not wanted. Post codes and town names should *not* be repeated on every object in OSM.

This information is automatically calculated from existing zones. For instance, every object within this zone is automatically recognised as having post code 1620
relation/3942890

164771768

Hello, and welcome to OSM.

Nice work but please make sure to *not* type free text in phone numbers or opening hours.

The database expects that a phone number is just a phone number (international format), e.g. "phone=+32 2 477 41 41"
and not
"phone=+32 2 477 41 41 (Security VUB)" ← most apps will reject the number here.

164724995

No promotional content in changeset descriptions on OSM, please. The description is only there to indicate what was added/changed, not to advertise your business.

We also fixed your edit because you incorrectly changed the building instead of adding a node inside it and failed to select a proper category, therefore it would be useless for anyone looking for an estate agent.

The place will be now correctly referred as an estate agent office.
node/12741616609

164726722

Hello,

I must inform you that we reverted this edit.

You already uploaded this "attraction" earlier today and I left a message explaining that it was already on the map. Please be kind and do not repeatedly upload the same items, especially when they are already correctly tagged.

See discussion here: changeset/164704591

164704591

Hello,

Experience Europe was already on the map, here: node/12541780057

It had been added earlier this year, so perhaps you missed it in case you are using an old local copy of data (Organic Maps does not show you live OSM data). You may want to refresh data prior to mapping a territory.

Don’t worry, we fixed your edit and re-used some relevant data you added (e.g. the opening hours) to merge them into the existing node.

Hello and sorry for the delay about this. I finally found some time to inspect the situation here.
I apologize if the wording of this changeset title may have sounded harsh. The main concern was about the outline of Marconi depot. Like all other buildings in Belgium, the reference data is the official outline provided by local governments, whereas aerial imagery has offset and shows a different distorsion on every yearly release.
The other changes here are okay and everything was restored, and sometimes refined even better.
Have a nice day.
