who told you? or where? Because that is partially wrong and i would like to check/fix that.

in detail:

every relation needs a type. see osm.wiki/Types_of_relation

an admin boundary needs additional tags boundary=administrative, admin_level=X and name=*

see osm.wiki/Tag%3aboundary=administrative#admin_level

the "sum" is: type=boundary, boundary=aministrative, admin_level=X, name=*

regards
walter

btw: you may ask me how to do this better. i'll allways help you.

But if you continue like this, I will ask the DWG to block you again - but this time for a longer time.

type=boundary is very important for admin boundaries. please never ever remove or change that tag.
btw: label=* is not recommended.

@pitscheplatsch: hab deinen Kommentar zu spät gelesen und die Boundaries bereits restauriert (undelete). falls du einen full Revert machen willst und dich mein Kram stört: changeset/64261348 kannst du ruhig vorher reverten.
walter

And you deleted boundaries of uganda state too.
see https://wambachers-osm.website/index.php/10-osm-reports/1406-countries-compare-2018-11-07

this boundaries have been recovered.

Please do not delete any ways which you don't know.

Hi navid,

don't panic ;) I only wanted to tell you, that there is still work to do. You are doing a great job.

Hi Navid,

there ar a lot of errors in this area. especially overlapping al4/6/7/8

see https://wambachers-osm.website/images/osm/snaps_2018/iran2.png (teheran province and alboz province are identical - and wrong)

list: https://wambachers-osm.website/index.php/10-osm-reports/1405-countries-compare-2018-11-06

@JoeG fine :)

sorry, correction: Yes, you found the reason - uncomplete loaded ways.

No, don#t think so. But uncompleted loaded relations is the reason for that. Loading uncomplete members in the relation editor before splitting is one way to resolve that. even better is to load the box around the area, where you want do do something.

Josm validator is working only with data, which has been loaded."continousDownload"-plugin will do that for you.

btw: when i started editing big relations 5-6 years ago, i did the same stuff - you are not alone ;)

USA(2) and Virginia(4) have been destroyed too.

can+usa fixed by CS changeset/64164109

Hi Adam,

working with boundaries - even using JOSM - is not an easy job.

during your work, you "killed" some admin boundaries, because you forgot to add newly created way segment into every involved boundry.

you have to work more carefully and check every boundary, which may be involved.

see https://wambachers-osm.website/index.php/10-osm-reports/1403-countries-compare-2018-11-04 showind 5 damaged boundaries including Canada.

of course, i'll fix that right now.

das ganze ist ein wenig "diffus". place-nodes werden schon mal verwendet, um ein Label an der "richtigen" Stelle auf der Karte zu erzeugen. Oder der place-node wird als "label" in die Relation aufgenommen. Da der Carto-Stil sich aber einen Dreck darum schert, bring das dort eh nix. Aber schaden tut es auch nicht, darum lass ich das admin_celner oder das label in den relationen drin. Ich schmeisse nur die meisten redundanten Tags bei den Nodes weg - wenn ich mal drüber stolpere.

Kannst auch gerne mal im Forum nachfragen; dort bekommst du sicher die vielfältigsten Meinungen zu hören.

Gruss

Hi, ich stand - und stehe immer noch - auf dem Standpunkt, dass flächenbezogene Daten an die Fläche (Relation) gehören und nicht an einen Place-Node. Diese Daten sind oft redundant aber manchmal sogar widersprüchlich. Ich würde eher die "überschüssigen" Tags von den place-Nodes entfernen (inbes. is-in)

Gruss
walter

Hi Sebas,

you removed all tags from this boundary and therefor you killed it.

may be, you did it for error but if not, then it's a political motivated vandalism.
never ever do this again. otherwise you will be blocked.

if it was an error, please be more carefull.

walter

Hi, seems you are developing an online editor. right?

please enter discussion https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=721607#p721607

it's the german forum but you may write in english. our questio is just "what the hell is going on there?"

writing such an editor is no simple task and tests must not be done using the common api. you have to use the development api.

walter

it's your country, i think :(

Hi, please stop changing boundaries to "land_area". the tagging for admin boundaries is: osm.wiki/Relation:boundary esp. osm.wiki/Relation:boundary#Relation_tags

you may add a tag like land_area=true or somethinjh else, but don't touch "type=boundary".

walter

has been reverted.

Da dort nach der Änderung keine Lücke entstanden ist, hab ich das Teil jetzt endgültig gelöscht. Stiftet nur Verwirrung.
