Erm - you perhaps ought to have a read of the page osm.wiki/Relations/Relations_are_not_Categories in the OSM wiki :)

For the avoidance of any doubt - Google Streetview isn't a valid source for OSM (the licence is incompatible). Obviously you may be mapping things from local knowledge here (and just saying "they really do exist; you can look at GSV if you don't believe me!"), and this data has been deleted anyway now, but just for info.

Hi all - Andy from the Data Working Group here. A couple have people have mentioned the ongoing arguments about language names in Belarus to us, and we'd like to do what we can to help. Obviously we're somewhat aware of the history here (and I've read the various numbers, some conflicting, on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Belarus ). It may be that one solution won't work for the whole country, and that "name" may need to be BE in one place, RU in another (with of course name:be and name:ru being present in both).
Mobile maps will generally already render based on either name:be or name:ru, as does http://openstreetmap.by . I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but for the avoidance of doubt the usual guidance on "what goes in the name tag" is based on http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf . If anyone wants the DWG's guidance on particular places then please email data@osmfoundation.org , and explain why you think that a "name" as it currently is in OSM. If you can provide evidence (perhaps a photograph of a Belarussian road sign, or evidence that most people in a place speak Russian) then please include that too, and we'll do what we can to help reach the best compromise we can.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

你好极了,
您已经删除了在这里的图像上仍然可见的两条漫长的路径。 你能解释一下他们的问题吗?
最好的祝福,

Hello Ultimate lore,
You've deleted two long paths that are still visible on the imagery here. Can you explain what the problem with them was?
Best Regards,

Hallo andi2911,
In diesem änderung und den meisten anderen neueren hast du keine änderung kommentiert. Hinzufügen eines Changeet-Kommentars erlaubt anderen Mappern zu sehen, warum Sie geändert haben, was Sie geändert haben. Wie Sie von http://osm.mapki.com/history/node.php?id=234298960 sehen können, sind die Objekte hier politisch zahlreichen Änderungen unterworfen, also ist es wichtig, Ihre Änderungen an anderen Mappern zu erklären.
Freundliche Grüße,
Andy Townsend, im Auftrag der OSM Data Working Group.

Hello andi2911,
In this changeset and most other recent ones you've not used any changeset comment. Adding a changeset comment allows other mappers to see why you've changed what you've changed. As you can see from http://osm.mapki.com/history/node.php?id=234298960 the objects here have politically been subject to "edit wars", so it's important to explain your changes to other mappers.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

Thanks!

Actually, looks like someone's changed something in wikidata back in April - wikidata now says "village and civil parish". Barnby Moor still in 2 pieces though (wigh pre-exists this changeset).

Hi,
Just for info I've tidied up edits in this area by @higuy and @helloworld69 . I've suggested to those users that they might want to try OpenGeoFiction instead osm.org/user_blocks/1478 osm.org/user_blocks/1480 . I'm guessing that they're kids attending Holmes Junior High or Davis Senior High. Thanks for tidying up stuff like this in the past - if you see any new problems, or know of any existing remaining ones. you can let OSM's Data Working Group know about it by sending a mail to data@osmfoundation.org.
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend (on behalf of the DWG).

Hi,
If you're looking for somewhere to add test data, perhaps https://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ would work for you in future?
Best Regards,
Andy

Thanks!

Yes thanks - fixed.

I'll have a look the next time that I'm there.

There's a ticket from 3 years ago: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/11215
(which is worth a read, just for a giggle).

51912752

Neither did I (though there's a hole in the Indian boundary that I mentioned at https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=663343#p663343 ), but I thought I'd better let you know just in case.

Hello,
You may want to double-check the border here since I had to revert a couple of wikimapia-derived edits.
Best Regards,
Andy (Data Working Group)

Hi xinduqiao - thanks for the reply. We can't use wikimapia as a source, unfortunately, since that is often just traced from Google - see osm.wiki/Wikimapia#Putting_OSM_data_into_Wikimapia_is_not_allowed for more details.
Best Regards,
Andy
