Not that I'm aware of, you're welcome to. Not required, but we do try to track open data which legally can be used at osm.wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue.

https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_Compatibility may help.

Keep in mind that we cannot use non-commercial data, since downstream users of OSM are permitted to sell OSM data. https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_Compatibility

They are correct if they match what the street sign on the ground says. It's good practice to map what's on the ground, osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what.27s_on_the_ground. Sure that's not an absolute rule, but a good guide.

End of the day, the government of Western Australia claims copyright to this data, and chooses not to release it under an open license. It's OSM's policy not to allow sourcing copyrighted data osm.wiki/Copyright.

It puts the dataset which we highly regard as free and open, at jeopardy when tainted with copyrighted data. So please don't do that.

It doesn't matter, if it's names only, coping data from a source that explicitly says personal, non-commercial use is not allowed in OSM. So you can't source any information from Landgate. Another user has since replace this data with Main Roads open data, which is licensed CC BY and for which we have the legal waiver for. So in the future, keep that in mind.

I noticed you've used source=landgate, could you please confirm where you sourced this data from?

I'm changing this to store=tile shop=tiles which is more correct.

No worries at all. Certainly the wiki is a good resource for tags railway=station and then if you're using the default online editor, down you should see "All tags" to edit individual tags.

...don't agree.

reverted, since the np is already mapped, but please post back if you don'

What's this?

Would you like me to add these deleted stations back in? or were you still planning on doing so?

reverted, please see osm.wiki/Spam#SEO_Spam

I see you've deleted this now way/706010809, could you please use more descriptive changeset comments and participate in the discussion.

See my comment at changeset/72670000, I didn't actually mean to delete the whole railway=station, just the public_transport=station + train=yes tag, since these stations aren't part of the public transport network, but ARE part of the railway network (so railway=station).

No I mean just the public_transport=station tag doesn't make sense here. So no need to delete the whole object, just the public_transport tag.

See railway=station and railway=station. For railway stations which are part of the public transport network you'd use railway=station + public_transport=station + train=yes. For railway stations which aren't part of the public transport network you'd only use railway=station and not the other tags.

So I'd encourage you to please add these back into OSM if they exist on the ground.

Hi there, the public_transport=station tag only applies to train stations part of a public transport network, which these are not. If you remove that tag then this looks good, thanks.

It appears you've also added bicycle=yes to every single node of the highway, which isn't really correct, since unless there is a barrier or something similar on the node, then you just need the tag on the way. Did you do a select all or something in JOSM?

Would you mind cleaning this up?

Could you please give a bit more information about what you're changing and where you're sourcing your information from?

It looks like you've converted the proposed rail line here into dual ways (which is good), but a bit more info would be good. Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up this. That data was originally from someones import, so please be liberal with deleting these if they are not on the ground.

Hey there, could you please note your source? You've added Nelson St bridge, but this bride was removed or in the process of being removed, could you please revert this change?

That's an issue with whatever monitoring software you're using then, you could change it to only alert you when something nearby you changes, not just when the changeset bbox intersects with your area of interest.
