This changeset adds shelters in the middle of the sea such as node/4891030217

This seems unlikely - can you please explain how this happened?

Hello GeoThings
Can you please explain
1) why objects in Indonesia were edited by an edit allegedly restricted to Taiwan?
2) What the licence associated with "EMIC open data" actually says?
3) Where this edit was discussed with the TW community?

Hi gorstak,
Is this change something that you've discussed with the Kosovan community? Obviously you're aware of the political significance here. Also in OSM you'll notice that there is a very wide variety of name styles and languages in use, though most places do omit the "Republic..." part.

Thanks!

Ah OK; Are you going to change these back then?

Obviously there's then a survey job to do to choose between landuse=farmyard, landuse=residential, landuse=industrial place=farm etc., but that can be done later (along with the existing place=farm nodes).

An Overpass query would grab all the pre-existing place=farm as well, of which there were quite a few in Lincolnshire, which this changeset covers.

Re "place=farm does not describe a farm" - presumably it's a farm (based on the previous landuse=farm tagging); the thing that's in doubt is whether it's any sort of "place" or not. Of the couple of dozen farms nearest to me the only one that I can think of that might deserve the tag is "Owlcotes" way/372460251 (though I actually went with landuse=farmyard there on balance). Most farmyards really aren't places at all, any more than any other industrial companies or warehouses are. That's not to say that in wilder places elsewhere place=farm might make sense, but as SK53 says in the UK in OSM it means mostly that someone has copied a name from an OS Streetview map with no local knowledge or survey. For example, I very much doubt that node/2661890946/history#map=15/53.1960/-0.4214 is called "Poultry Farm" - it may be _a_ poultry farm but that is probably not its name. Also many former rural farmyards (near me I'd guess 40%) aren't really farmyards any more, but are now just residential, but you mostly need to visit to see for sure.
Best Regards,
Andy

Ah - OK. Thanks for that.

Hello,
As you can see from the orange line around this change on the map at the right when you view the changeset on the OpenStreetMap website, it overlaps with the Atlantic because some data was accidentally added there.
Have you any idea how incorrect latitude and longitude values could have got into the data that you added? I'm guessing it's a JOSM bug and nothing to do with you (it's happened to a few people), but I'm asking just in case you can shed any light on it!
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Please don't add test data to the live OpenStreetMap Server. If you want a test server, perhaps https://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ would work for you?

Hello,
This is a huge changeset. I can see from whodidit that something has changed near me, but how do I find out what and why? How do you know that the changes that you have made actually match the situation on the ground?

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Re the "not showing on map" issue, it might help to have a read of https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/178/how-often-does-the-main-mapnik-map-get-updated . The four different maps on the OSM website actual update at different rates (the "standard" map is actually the most frequent).

It's been deleted now, but have you any idea how incorrect latitude and longitude values could have got into the data that you added?

Hola,
Sólo está comprobando que has borrado un restaurante en node/2572860428/history - ¿ya no está? ¿Qué hay en su lugar?
Atentamente,
Andy

Hi,
Just checking - you've deleted a restaurant at node/2572860428/history - is it really no longer there? What is in its place?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hola H2Olima00,

Hello H2Olima00,
This changeset, like most of your other changesets, just has a comment "Correcciones". This doesn't help other mappers understand what changes were made and what the source was.
Please do use meaningful changeset comments! osm.wiki/ES:Buenos_comentarios_en_conjuntos_de_cambios
