It obviously isn't. A much more suitable tag would be addr:barangay.

You as an experienced mapper could have probably found this out in less than a minute of research on google and taginfo.

Pointing out incorrect tagging without providing a better alternative isn't really helpful.

Good day Spaghetti Monster. Your efforts to maintain data consistency are very much appreciated.

This mappers has joined us less than a week ago and clearly he is very eager in contributing his local knowledge by mapping place names, hospitals, government offices, sport venues, churches and many other things. These are all very valuable contributions.

Obviously some of the added geometries, the changeset comments as well as some of the tagging choices leave much room for improvements. But none of this justifies completely reverting almost a hundred changesets within 30 minutes of first contacting the mapper.

Please give local communities a chance to reach out to new mappers to help them learn about all the complexities and intricacies of OSM.

I reverted your reverts and fixed the tagging and geometry issues instead. Maybe you could consider similar actions instead of radical deletions.

I agree that English should not have any default precedence. It is my impression that there is almost always a name that is more predominantly used than the other, but I like the idea to use the language with the most native speakers in a given area for the primary name tag if an object truly has equally common names in several official languages.

Good afternoon Erwin,

The locally spoken languages in Tagakpan are Bisaya and Klata. Anyone conversing in either of them uses the term Barangay Hall. This is also the name that is written on the facade of the building.

Adding additional non-local translations seems fine, but please don't replace the primary name tag.

Currently all HUCs and ICCs with mapped boundaries are tagged as admin_level=6.

But giving this some further considerations I actually think there are many good reasons why it would make sense to tag them as admin_level=4.

R.A. 7160 Section 25 effectively defines HUCs and ICCs as first level subdivisons on equal level with provinces.

Thanks for pointing this out! The commonly stated phrase that only motorways have implied access restrictions really doesn't seem to hold up.

Hey Jherome. Thanks for this massive clean-up.

Just wondering, isn't foot=yes and bicycle=yes the default for anything other than motorways? Adding this tags seems highly redundant, especially for highway segments that already have sidewalk or cycleway tags.

Hi Abysmallow, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for your contributions!

The tag place=town is only used for municipalities, for barangays you can use place=village.

Happy mapping =)

Hi Marliza, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for your contributions!

When mapping barangays you can just create a node (like this one: node/9215197632) near the center of the barangay.

Good day vulasala, thanks for catching this!

I'm a bit confused by your suggestion. This is not a singular feature that could be represented by a node.

Piedra Tuff just means tuff stone which describes the unexposed bedrock that makes up this entire peninsula. I'm not aware of any tags to store such information and I also don't think it's within the scope of OSM to map what's below the visible landuse=* or natural=*.

Not just maybe. This was clearly a description of the underlying bedrock which is tuffaceous indeed (limestone to be more precise).

Hello Bryan.

If a settlement already has a place node there's no need to add a place tag and the duplicated name to the outline of the settlement. You can just use landuse=residential instead.

Also please have a look at the page about the ford tag on OSM wiki. This tag should only be applied where a road crosses a waterway. Here you added the tag on a 10 km long section of highway.

Hi thota_shruthi. When modifying street names please make sure to do so along the whole length and not just for a single segment. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Good day. Just curious, what source did you use when adding this oneway restriction?

Good day. What is your source for this name change? KartaView does not have any available imagery in this area.

Good day. What is your source for removing access restrictions in Ayala Alabang? Any road that requires individual permission should be tagged as private.

Also if you're modifying access restrictions please make sure to do so on the entire length of a road. Here you missed several shorter segments and bridges (e.g. way/759516992, way/363300512).

Hello justsanna. Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for your contributions.

The farmland tag is usually only used for crops like rice or corn. For coconut plantations you can use landuse=orchard + trees=coconut_palms. No need to add a name in addition to that.

Good day. Please put this undiscussed import on hold and have a look at the guidelines that the OSM community has laid out for such endeavours.

While it is much easier and faster to just copy data from google maps than to survey it yourself, this goes against many core principles of OSM.

If you are willing to work together with the local community in cleaning up this import please send an email to talk-ph@openstreetmap.org.
