Ik heb Leo een zero-hour block gegeven en gevraagd om hier en op het forum te reageren.

On behalf of the DWG I have contacted jamesks about the edits done in Spain (and other countries), asking him to get/stay in contact with the Spanish user community and to adhere to the agreements they have reached.
Also I asked him to make a start of improving his previous edits and not leave that to others.

[Google translate:]
En nombre del DWG, me puse en contacto con jamesks sobre las ediciones realizadas en España (y otros países), pidiéndole que se ponga en contacto con la comunidad de usuarios españoles y se adhiera a los acuerdos que han alcanzado.
También le pedí que comenzara a mejorar sus ediciones anteriores y que no lo dejara a otros.

This nonexistent trail was reported by a user who tried to follow this trail.

Your changeset comments ("made new changes") are not very clear to other mappers. Could you describe in more detail (for every upload you do), what your changes were?

Glad to see that others are also most annoyed by the way jamesks is adding highways (among other objects) to the Spanish map. For more than a year now I have been adding mostly landuse and highways in the area south-east of Toledo and while doing so, more than I liked I came accross the way that jamesks was adding highway=track to the map, based (mostly) on strava heatmaps, but not paying any attention to PNOA or the Catastro to make his edits more secure. In the beginning I started to move the nodes to the correct position, but later on I decided to simply remove his edits and just started drawing them completely new. My most recent changeset was yesterday:
changeset/87782352
And I recently commented on a much older changeset of his:
changeset/69576473

I think that jamesks' way of mapping is not correct and only gives twice the work: first he is adding in the wrong way and than leaves it to others to fix the mess.
To help me locate his edits for highway=track, I created this overpass:
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/VEK.
You can easily adopt it to find other objects done by jamesks.
My hope is:
1. that jamesks will adopt to the preferred way of mapping, paying attention to reliable sources and a more reliabe way of mapping
2. that jamesks will help us to cleanup the mess he has left for us

Again I deleted quite a few of the original imported tracks because it was faster to draw them again than to try to move all the wrong nodes from the import.

Overigens krijg ik met de instellingen uit de link hierboven Strava wel werkend, en met de link van commodoortje niet. (Verschil tms[15] of tms[3,15]) ?

Ik zie in deze link (die overigens alle stappen zeer goed uitlegt:
https://nuxx.net/blog/2020/05/24/high-resolution-strava-global-heatmap-in-josm/
dat je een betaald abo moet hebben voor strava om die heatmap te laten werken. Is dat zo commodoortje?

(Is het trouwens niet beter om deze hele discussie op het forum te voeren?)

Please note:
The service road that previously connected Watford Road with Oakridge Avenue does not exist and must have been based on bad aerial imagery.
The road in the north now runs into the wood, the road in the south ends at the gate of the property.

For this changeset I had to delete a number of the previous tracks that were so badly aligned that it was faster to redraw them.
I have asked jamesks why he is using such bad data and not doing any control/fine tuning over what he has added.

Hi James,
This strava heatmap import and other imports of your hand are of low quality. I have been busy for days now correcting those tracks, as they rarely fit to PNOA imagery.
Have you ever discussed this import with the Spanish Community? If not, are you aware that importing huge amounts of data like this should be detailed in a wiki document and discussed with the community? See: osm.wiki/Import

Ik laat de naam "Poort van Heusden" nog even staan, de gemeente is niet eenduidig in het gebruik van de nieuwe naam.

Survey 2021 moet survey 2020 zijn, ik kan nog niet inde toekomst kijken...

Dag eggie,
Dit was toegevoegd nadat jij de revert had gedaan. Verwijder je ook nog die place_of_worship?
Groet,
Marc.
