Hello Dirk, when you contribute to OSM, you should choose a changeset comment that explains what you have done in this session. This changeset comment needs to be understood by people who do not have a HOT background. Your repeated comment of "#hotosm-project-10739 #MissingMaps_DRK #redcross #missingmaps" does not fulfil that requirement. Please try to write something like "traced buildings in PLACENAME" or whatever it is that you did. -- Also, if your editor shows you a warning about buildings overlapping with other buildings or streets, try to investigate and fix the problem - since buildings and streets rarely share the same space, one of the two must be wrong.

Dear vootza, in this changeset you have modified the name tag of way/45073278 from Ukrainian to Russian. Given that this street is in the Ukraine, a renaming to Russian should be accompanied by a very good explanation or ideally photographic evidence. In the future, whenever you change any name tag in the Ukraine to Russian, please always provide some form of proof that this name is the primary name on signs.

Vielleicht können wir die Diskussion über "Sockenpuppen" hier beenden. Grundsätzlich darf sich jeder in OSM mehrere Accounts anlegen, da ist per se erstmal nichts Böses dabei. Vielleicht mappt einer mit einem Zweitaccount in China, weil er verhindern will, dass er bei einer eventuellen künftigen Reise dorthin an der Grenze aufgegriffen wird. Oder jemand verwendet einen Zweitaccount im Urlaub, damit nicht jeder in OSM gleich weiss, dass dieser Mapper dort Urlaub gemacht hat. Das ist alles legitim. Selbst wenn jemand in seiner Vergangenheit in OSM viel Mist gebaut hat und gerne einen "sauberen" Neustart mit einem neuen Account will, ist das noch in Ordnung. Was wir nicht erlauben, ist das Anlegen von Zweit-Accounts zur Umgehung einer Benutzersperre oder zur absichtlichen Täuschung, z.B. um sich selber in einer Diskussion "zuzustimmen" oder in einem Edit-War den Eindruck zu erwecken, es gäbe eine Mehrheit für ein bestimmtes Tagging oder so. Man kann beautifulplaces völlig zu Recht viele Vorwürfe machen, was das Mapping oder das ständige "doxen" von Privatpersonen und ihren Arbeitsplätzen (und damit verbunden haltlosen Spekulationen über mögliche geheime Agenden) betrifft, und all das zusammen ist der Grund, warum eine weitere Zusammenarbeit mit ihm hier im Projekt nicht funktionieren wird. Die Erstellung von Mehrfach-Accounts ist meines Erachtens keines dieser Probleme.

GoodClover, your comments are not helpful; I am pretty certain that rarely anybody making high-level tagging plans on the wiki and the tagging list has contacted small local communities like the Lithuanian one. Tomas is right in so far as that wiki votes and tagging list discussions are not binding for local communities to follow - even though it can of course happen that data consumers like rendering engines slowly follow "new" standards leading to those rejecting them getting a less nice map. The crucial question here is whether the Lithuanian community actually exists as a group and stands behind Tomas, in which case his rejection of FriendlyGhost's mapping would be ok, or whether this is essentially one stubborn person clamouring for souvereignity when nobody else really cares. Tomas, be careful what you wish for - any global mechanism for making authoritative tagging decisions will probably overrule a small community like yours 10 times out of 10. The current system allows everyone some leeway where they feel it is important and it works on the whole. This sometimes requires some compromise. When was the last time you changed your mind on something regarding OSM tagging? Are you only this stubborn if someone from outside of Lithuania tags something you don't like, or do Lithuanian users get the same "I have been here for over 10 years, I know what is right and you know nothing" treatment?

Tomas, could you point out how the Lithuanian community makes decisions like whether to "go for something like landuse=moat, or landuse=basin+basin=moat"?

Dear SHARCRASH, you seem to have reverted this revert in the meantime, but stil I think the user tomolobla whose work you have thought so worthless as to warrant a revert without any comment deserves an explanation. What has happened here, and why did it happen, and what steps will you undertake to make sure you will not repeat the mistake in the future?

Der SHARCRASH, this reasoning is an absolute no-no for OSM. Third parties wrongly interpreting OSM data should not be a reason to tweak OSM data so that it matches the third party's wrong expectations. And such edits should never be contained in a changeset explained with "massive edit, see details/history of the element" because the history of the element does precisely *not* deliver the required explanation. Please undelete the ways in question.

Dear SHARCRASH, using the reverter plugin should be something you do in exceptional circumstances, not your everyday way of editing. Using the reverter plugin without providing a reason for the revert, like you did in this changset, is an affront against the person whose work you are reverting. Don't do it.

I would agree with hesdrib here. Certainly not a building! Please, User58383747, repair this error. Also, please try and give better changeset comments than "Modification ajoutee" which is useless as it can be used for basically any edit to the map. Especially seeing that your edits are often faulty and need to be repaired by others, it is very helpful to explain what you *wanted* to do.

Hello there, I see you have mapped the "Bosque Creek Habitat Preserve Trail" in this changeset. Is this a public footpath? There has been a complaint by the Bosque Creek Homeowners association claiming that the path - or parts of it, I am still trying to clarify with them - are on their private grounds.

Dear Dirk, when uploading data to OSM please specify a changeset comment that is human-readable. None of "#hotosm-project-10739 #MissingMaps_DRK #redcross #missingmaps " fulfil this requirement. Explain to someone not familiar with HOT or DRK or MissingMaps what you have done and why. Also, when adding buildings, while sometimes buildings are indeed ajar, most buildings are actually square! The editor has a function to automatically square a building if you have traced it imperfectly. Use that where it makes sense.

Dear Hidoo00, please do not "upgrade" tags when the iD editor suggests that you should, without knowing precisely what you do. This particular river has been changed back after such an "upgrade" once already; if you want to discuss the details, get in touch with the mapper who has made that change, but don't just "upgrade" the tags.

In this changeset you upgraded a number of highways to motorways even though you were, two days ago in changeset/105004562, asked to use motorway tags sparingly. Please act accordingly.

In this changeset you have deleted a huge number of "parking_aisle" ways and replaced them with new ways. You shouldn't be doing that; it loses the history of the objects. Now it looks like you were the one to first introduce parking aisles on that car park, when instead another user did this in 2013! Next time, just modify the existing objects. If you find this too taxing with the iD editor, use an editor that easily allows moving a large group of objects (e.g. JOSM).

Dear Персидский залив - you are adding industrial areas all over the world and you are specifying a source of "Maxar, Esri World, Bing". This cannot be your only source - you must be working off some sort of list? Why are you choosing exactly these sites for your mapping? What is your purpose? -- In way/945554195 and way/945554198 you have added a way without any tags, please review that.

This changeset contained a massive change to the coastline along Rio de la Plata, removing coastline tags from lots of ways and introducing a new pseudo-costline across the Rio. The Rio de La Plata has been the subject of much discussion in the past. Don't just change it without prior consultation. I have reverted this edit.

In this changeset you have created a polygonal footway not connected to anything else and added a "name" of "its a house not a path". If something is a house then please tag it as such. Also, please use proper changeset comments instead of "tyhrhrht", "gbrgbrgb", and other gibberish.

Wohngebiete werden üblicherweise großzügig gezeichnet so a la (Beispiel aus Bayern) way/55102217 - ein Wohngebiet umfasst normalerweise mehrere Gebäude, für einzelne Gehöfte wird oftmals gar keins gezeichnet. landuse=residential sollte man da nutzen, wo "bebautes Gebiet" ist, nicht wo zwei Leute im Wald wohnen.

Zu "warum erst jetzt" möchte ich auch auf osm.org/user_blocks/4634 vom Dez. 2020 hinweisen: "OSM hat ebenfalls kein Interesse an über-detaillierten Landuse-Flächen wie in way/351374600 von Dir beigetragen."
