Please do not add wild camping sites to OpenStreetMap. If you are traveling by bicycle, motorcycle, or van and you want to share wild camping sites with other overlanders, you can add them to the iOverlander app, but they are not appropriate for OpenStreetMap.

Even in 2018, before the building began to be used for municipal services (as it was going renovations), this was still building=public and not building=commercial. Please be more careful in future.

Your edit here is wrong: this is a government building belonging to the Turda municipality (municipal services are offered there). I will have to revert it.

What is the source for your additions in Turda?

Please don’t add access=destination for living_streets like this. Doing this will stop *all* traffic from being able to route through these areas. The street signs ("Accesul interzis cu exceptia riveranilor") apply to cars, but pedestrians can walk through these areas. So, the right tag to use is motor_vehicle=destination.

As I specified in my changeset, my source was Mapillary imagery. It shows asphalt.

Please do not add English names ("Turda Town House of Culture") for POIs in Romania. Instead, the name= tag should contain only the local-language name.

If you only know the English-language name, use the name:en= tag and leave the name= tag blank.

What is the source of the street name for Strada Viile Hangas in Turda?

Oh, OK. I just wanted to make sure that you didn’t delete any of the infrastructure in Campa Turzii that I have added over the last two years.

By the way, I began adding all of the house numbers for Campia Turzii, but I had to stop because I no longer live in Romania. It would be great if someone could continue my project.

The street name in your changeset here is missing. The name tag contains only "Strada". Could you please fill in the missing name?

67525553

Hello. Could you please explain what this edit entailed? What sidewalks did you delete and why were they unnecessary?

Hi Cat. Please don’t add free camping sites to OSM unless they are clearly marked as campsites. (I just cycled past a completely unmarked site in Ukraine that you added.) These kind of details can go on e.g. the iOverlander app to help others, but OSM isn’t really a suitable place for them.

OK, this is exactly why I asked: OSM cannot copy from other maps like that unless the copyright situation is 100% clear. Unless you can provide more bibliographic data and argue that the material is truly public domain, these additions will have to be reverted.

32536845

So you copied this from a paper map? Can you please give me the bibliographic data for the paper map?

48338956

Also, please do not add generic names like "Magazin mixt"/"Vegyesbolt". That information is already communicated by shop=convenience. If you do not know the exact name of the shop, then leave the name= tag blank. Tools like Streetcomplete, which prompt mappers to determine the exact names of POIs, rely on the name= tag being blank.

48338956

Please do not use building=commercial for these kinds of buildings. The correct tagging is building=retail. ("Commercial" in English does not mean the same thing as comercială in Romanian and other European languges).

What is the source for the name "Paunescu" for this farmland (and the names for the other landuse=farmland nearby)?

66816898

Hello fellow cyclist. Please do not tag village food shops as supermarkets (even if, as often in Chile, they call themselves supermarkets). Instead, the tag shop=convenience should be used.

67241735

Please do not create nodes with shop=mobile_phone to tell people where they can get mobile phone signals. That is not what this tag is for.

69041276

I don’t think it is a good idea to add covered=yes tags for the service roads going under petrol station roofs. The tags building=roof and layer=1 on the petrol station already avoids any highway–building collisions.

64368929

It is not just my opinion, it is the recommended OSM practice. So, please do not put generic names into the name= field in future. Otherwise I will have to bring your edits to the attention of the Data Working Group.
