53996721

Please avoid copying information from Hong Kong government maps and other copyrighted maps as much as possible. This edit might be okay (I'm not sure) but it would be much better to do this sort of thing based on survey or satellite imagery.

Hi, please be a bit careful with adding pathways. Some of the ones you added were already tagged as sidewalks to the adjacent roads, and some of them don't actually exist.

53656364

Please don't use Bing imagery without fixing the offset, it's not particularly reliable and tends to be warped a lot. Use Strava/DigitalGlobe/Esri.

*Welcome back, sorry.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Note that paths like this one – way/540207157 – should be marked as bridges with a layer tag so they appear correctly. (Split the way so that only the part which is a bridge is tagged as a bridge.)

The other trunk road connected to a highway=service, 14A on route 7, also uses highway=service as the connector and not highway=trunk_link, although maybe this is an aesthetic thing.

53192379

The imagery is probably out of date here and the layout keeps changing due to construction, so best to do it based on survey.

Hong Kong and Macau use separate tagging conventions to the Mainland. Please do not remove English and Portuguese from name=* in the SARs.

Sorry about that, I'll add the comment on the correct changeset.

hi, this is probably not a lighthouse (possibly the iD Chinese translation is not good?). this is probably just a floating lump of metal in the inlet with a light strapped on it.

Hong Kong and Macau use separate tagging conventions to the Mainland. Please do not remove English and Portuguese from name=* in the SARs.

oh, I didn't know this was actually a parking lot. never mind.

53065700

you could say that for any field in the middle of nowhere or even a little-used road, but would you tag them with amenity=parking?

42475210

Where did you get the stream data from? They are not visible in the Bing aerial imagery due to trees but I don't want to assume you plagiarized them from another map.

51002678

Are you sure you tagged the correct way? This road should be destination=沙田 Sha Tin.

51071446

osm.wiki/Multilingual_names#China 宣稱,英文名字、拼音不應該在"name=*"寫。

51071446

大陸物品的“name=*”不是應該只有中文的名字嗎?而且“Canton”不是廣州的英文名字,是Guangzhou。

51017863

hi, you created a few empty nodes ('797–'800) which aren't connected to anything. should they be deleted?

50986338

(Just noting that you should use the newly available DigitalGlobe imagery instead of Bing since it's much less distorted and doesn't have any coverage issues here.)

50727248

Probably best to leave the data until the question on help.osm is resolved, as I'm not entirely sure and there's still the option of asking for government permission to waive the conditions.
