Fortunately, HDX data is ODBL-usable!
I know that the district and posto boundaries are screwy on the ground as well - there are villages that one government agency says are in X district, and another agency says they're in the Y district next to it. It's been absolutely maddening to try and sort it out.

I'm honestly not sure what to do. HDX is very trustworthy, but sometimes their data comes from sources with "lazy data". I'd tend to trust what they have over what OSM has had (from maplibrary.org).
There's actually a THIRD boundary for Zambia/Moç in north Tete - someone is prepping a new boundary, but it's currently admin_level=15 for now. Maybe we can bring them into the discussion.

Bom dia Ruben! The Distrito boundaries you've placed do not match the Moçambique national boundary in OSM. Your source has to be more specific than "knowledge" if you're going to work with admin_level=2 boundaries. Can you show an authoritative source for your changes?
If so, you should merge the national boundaries into the Distrito boundaries you're creating.
I've suspected the Moç boundaries as OSM has them were incorrect - especially on the Malawi border.

Hi there! Please do not name anything in ALL CAPS! :)

Just so you know, natural=yes does not create a swamp.

Ciao! Just so you're aware, you want to keep the name of a village/town/settlement on the node. Don't apply it to the residential area, which often will not render from some data users. I fixed Islow Abuukar accordingly - let me know if you have questions. Grazie!

Delving back into this - I've always understood that bare earth with no particular set of characteristics has no landuse value at all. But bare_ground would work too. This area actually looks like a dry akali flat - a former lakebed. There were some proposed tags to deal with desert areas, but they appear to be abandoned.
Lastly - it looks like the area has recently been marked as a military installation? That has to be a mistake - right?

86883495

That's GOT to be "Glacier Park", right?
Not with a "C".

Hi Marco - Just so you know, natural=ground is not a valid landuse value.

86833314

I appreciate your reply - in all the vandalism cases I've seen, you're the first to apologise. If you want to map for real, let us know! We can help!
Ďakuje!

It appears you are actually vandalizing the map - adding features that don't exist, using nonsensical tags ("bendo_field=hahaha", for instance) - all with the name "Bendo". Your changes in your native Slovakia are due for removal. I am removing your change in Bellevue immediately.
Please respond to this thread if you truly have a valid case for this change. Thanks.

Hi there - actually, if the rail right-of-way is unidentifiable and completely wiped off the map (for instance, where Safeco Field currently sits) it should actually remain as "razed". An "abandoned" stretch of track would indicate that you can easily trace the right-of-way on the ground or from the air.

Welcome to OSM! Let me know if you have questions or problems - I'll gladly lend a hand!
I'm local - live in Duvall, formerly lived in Redmond. Great to see more local mappers!

Where is this landuse data coming from, and how old is it? It doesn't look very current - showing built-up parts of Butembo as "grassland".

86586674

Thank you for spotting that!

86588486

Also - as this is not a reciprocal boundary, it is not administrative, but rather political.
I'm sure it looks way rad to see CHAZ outlined as a separate country, that's not grounded in reality.
I'll be reverting the changes to the outer perimeter.

86588486

You don't set tags for the boundary - tags are edited within the relation.

86584626

Yes yes I know we don't map "temporary" features and POIs. However, I firmly feel that this situation meets the "next few weeks" standard in the Good Practice article. I don't see this being resolved anytime soon.

Oh wow... that's too bad about Telido Station. I thought it was pretty cool that they were keeping a historic name going.

That's not a very good ratio on the Spokane Co named places. Let me know if you want a hand with any of the railroad-related ones, since that's where a lot of my Spokane Co history knowledge lies.

Also - do you find that the "disused:name" tag is widely accepted as a way of labeling placenames that are no longer in use?

50905658

Apologies for the snark. After thinking about it, I'm sure I would have come to the same conclusion as you did, and assumed I was trying to map a survey marker as a place.
