@LLAQWA If you think that there is a category error in the way that things are tagged please do follow osm.wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct and discuss your changes first - that way we'll avoid wasting everyone's time (yours as well as everyone else's).
Best Regards,

Changeset comment here should have been "Reverting some more things in erroneous revert changeset/46189471 - see there for more details."

If this ISO code doesn't belong to this area, please don't add it. The original area of Western Sahara is in OSM as relation/2559126 .
I have no idea what you mean by "fix tagging to make nominatim work everywhere". Can you explain?

Just checking - does the ISO code that you've added here apply to:
o The territory held by the Polisario Front
o The former state of Western Sahara
As you may be aware, there is more than one claim over the latter.

Hi Will,
A question about the Y1 bus:
Is the Langley Mill / Eastwood stretch of this relation/4578631#map=14/53.0159/-1.3311 the same as the Derby / Heanor service? I've only ever used the latter part. the H1 (which this is a partial duplicate of - Yourbus have designed a service that arrives 5 minutes at all stops before the H1) goes from Derby to Heanor and then Heanor to Alfreton; I'll keep an eye open for Y1s further north.
Best Regards,
Andy

The changeset comment above is incorrect - this is unrelated to Google. It is instead a revert of a number of plant-based mechanical edits. See
changeset/45974439 and other changesets by author of that for details of the problems with the edits that led to them being reverted.

Note that some of the "odd duplications" seem to match imagery features, such as way/449580309 , which looks like some sort of shed.
The surrounding landuse could also do to be aligned with the school boundary too.

I've left the duplicate areas (part of two schools) which might be correct and the duplicate nodes (to indicate where there is still a problem).

Hi John,
Unfortunately you can't use Google Earth or StreetView even just "as a pictorial reference".

Hello,
I've changed the school building back to a school. Please don't change things in OSM to things that they aren't!
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Andy from the DWG here. I'm just trying to understand some changes in this area, and noticed that here you've removed the wikipedia / wikidata link for this village and also the "name:az". Was there a reason for that?
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

I'm just confused because it wasn't chippy that restored node 1!

Thanks.

@chippy I don't think malcolmh created the duplicate - that was someone else trying to move an "important" node "somewhere important". "node 1" has been on a few continents so far - I'm sure it'll get resurrected somewhere else at some point. As for the NOAA buoy here - there has been no data from it for 45 days (see http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=13010 ). Either its minder left the administration with Barack Obama or it's sunk :)

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
You've deleted a buoy in the Atlantic Ocean here by mistake (it's since been restored).
However, can you explain what "#hotosm-project-2489 #MissingMaps #EliminateMalaria #VisualizeNoMalaria #Zambia#task.hot Uganda #Mugabi Henry", which you've used as a changeset comment here, means?
Best Regards,
Andy

This is a follow-up to changeset/45996374 . It reverts the remaining edits made in changeset/41640199, not reverted by the previous attempts.

I've restored things back to something approaching normality (specifically the sports pitches and footways were OK, and I've reverted the school to the edubase geometry and added buildings).
It was actually not this changeset, but another one by a different mapper, that "lost" the school altogether.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
You've changed way/302804996/history from a footway to a cycleway here, which seems odd. Last time I was there it definitely looked like a cycleway!
Best Regards,
Andy

Actually, from driving past tonight, way/148833971/history isn't directly lit (though the lights on the roundabout above make it appear so). It would still be useful to know the source of these 977 though.

I've reverted in changeset/45996692 and sent them a message that they have to read before continuing mapping in osm.org/user_blocks/1192 .
