Hi! I saw your changes and notes. On one hand, yes, they’re no longer communes. On the other, the lines are still the limits between the localities, so they should be adapted to reflect that.

Cool for openrailwaymap.org :)

Hello! What would you think of tagging the forests with both name=<Luxembourgish name> and name:de=<German name> and/or name:fr=<French name>?

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

Hello! The Cafetin was already mapped on the building :)

Thanks for checking this :)

Hello! I think that you made an honest mistake here: the Kockelscheuer forest isn’t a park, the outline of it isn’t a footway, and the water bodies inside of it isn’t a reservoir. I see that another user has already undone most of your changes.

Please don’t let this discourage you from mapping - the community is there to help and to fix the map in cases like this. Don’t be afraid to message me if I can answer any questions.

Do you know about the OpenStreetMap wiki’s documentation of tags?

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

Ah, du wars méi séier wi ech :). Wars du och scho sur place?

Danke!

Two more:

way/481437499
way/56092848

Awesome! The 2016 vintage has been so useful, it's great that you're going for it again. There has been no interest in my GSoC proposal so far – any takers for yours?

I'm seeing duplicate ways being introduced, and I'm not sure whether it's the plugin:

way/27542711 way/481435946

Great to see you’re active in our area again :)

Exciting! Steep?

Oui, c’est parfait comme ça. Il faut en effet l’adresse complète pour pouvoir planifier l’itinéraire.

Je ne savais pas que les couches du cadastre marchaient aussi avec Vespucci! Ça fonctionne bien?

Hi scleija! You’re right, it’s not a hamlet. Since there still *is* such a place, I’ve re-tagged it as ‘place=isolated_dwelling’. Please, once again, be careful about deleting objects that might be useful to others.

Hello, the Bock (貝克) is actually on the other side!

Are you maybe coming from Wikipedia, which has notability criteria? OpenStreetMap has no such thing (although in practical terms, people don't usually map things that are smaller than 30 cm).

The welcome guide for Wikipedians (
osm.wiki/Welcome_to_Wikipedia_users#We_don.27t_have_a_Notability_rule ) explicitly mentions individual trees. People have mapped all kinds of stuff that will never be relevant to me, and that's great!

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=tree finds 7.6M trees on the planet. In some cities, every individual tree has been mapped - look at Nice or Bucarest for example.

For trees that are landmarks, e.g. the Arbres remarquables au Luxembourg, we add the denomination=natural_monument tag.

I do try to welcome newbies to OSM in my area, answer any questions, and so on. The community watches not every edit, but as you've discovered, it's quick to get chatty when the consensus isn't followed.

These messages are dry and cold - want to chat about it with a beer one evening?

Hey, thanks for replying. 'We' is just how I see the community consensus in Luxembourg. It is a bit of a special case in the OSM community, since we're such a mix of languages, and the 'on the ground' rule that's so helpful elsewhere is harder to apply. Indeed, you do find stuff with name tags in French, German, Luxembourgish and even English on the map.

What I've done for other churches is tagging the Luxembourgish name as name:lb, e.g. way/48994777

Should we go for name:lb=Hellege-Josephskierch? Wa schon da scho richteg ;)

Happy mapping!

Hi! (Moien? Bonjour? Hallo?)

Since the paths in the park are officially open to bicycles, I’d tagged those as highway=path. A highway=footway that’s bicycle=designated seems contradictory.

What do you think?

Happy mapping,

Guillaume

Hi! I don’t know if you’re seeing my messages, can you please comment?

If you look at the rest of the country, you’ll see that we usually tag the church names after the saints - "Église Saint-Joseph” would be correct here. That this is the Alzénger Kierch is its location, so we don’t tag that in the names.

Happy mapping,

Guillaume
