I've edited way/23565958 now to reduce the area.

81061082

yep that's fine thanks. Just keep an eye out when using the data as it sometimes may be outdated.

81040885

did you mean to leave the name as pp? If it's underground you might want to use tunnel=culvert or location=underground

If you're using TfNSW cycleways data then per the waiver agreement osm.wiki/File:TfNSW_OSM_CCBY_Signed_Waiver.pdf we need to provide attribution at osm.wiki/Contributors#New_South_Wales_Government_data Can you add the attribution for the original source used to the Contributors wiki page please?

Agreed it's not military, that's why I just deleted the landuse=military tag, while retaining military=danger_area in changeset/81056371. The wiki page confirms that military=danger_area doesn't imply related in any way to the military. I know it's not the best tag being military= but it's the best one that I'm aware of which is documented and in use.

I'd very much welcome more work on a better tag for general projectile or weapons danger areas, but in the meantime I don't think it's warranted to have the pitch the way you changed it here. I'd rather change it back to the smaller area.

In my mind the danger area and the pitch are two different things, one being the larger area and one much smaller where the sport is actually practised on.

Hey Warin, in this changeset you increased the size of way/23565958 to extend to the range danger area. Since the range danger area is already mapped at way/434705783, I think the leisure=pitch way should only cover the original smaller area covering the shooting range only. Do you think that's okay?

Oh sorry I didn't realise, that's great!

@Luen Warneke ps you can also upload your GPS traces to osm.org/traces which go into OSM's gps traces layer which help to provide evidence and justification of trace locations as mapped in OSM but also aid in mapping.

If you want you can also check it out at https://dev.beyondtracks.com/carto/debug/#15.39/-43.236187/147.795203 and switch to "Satellite" and you can see this also aligns with the Tasmanian Government aerial imagery, though I'd still trust the GPS traces more.

@Warin61 this track is correct as confirmed by the OSM GPS traces layer (one of those traces should be my GPS trace), if you turn that on you'll see the track is aligned well. Don't trust the imagery here.

I think it's generally accepted within OSM that sourcing a few facts from a website is okay, eg. contact phone number of a business from their website. I asked this at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2018-November/081637.html so I think that's okay, what's potentially not okay is when whole collections of data are mass copied. Of course it can be hard to determine where the cut off is, so of course we prefer ground surveyed data but I believe in this case a single depth and capacity numbers taken for this dam as published there is okay.

Hi Hb-, there has been concern raised at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2020-February/013619.html that this data isn't able to be determined reliably by Bing and ESRI imagery and concerns that some of this information may have come from non-free sources. Are you able to confirm here what sources of information this changeset used? Did you refer to https://www.ddmrb.org.au/ for the location of the fence?

Many thanks,

https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/node/4313720776 are you sure it's not "Winston Hills Post Office"? We should keep Winston Hills in there if it's still known as that, either in the name or branch tag.

Did you survey this? Ibis budget was tagged as a motel before, which you changed to a hotel, when I drove past this before it did seem more like a motel, I think it should only be changed if you've surveyed and are sure.

80831842

When adding brand tags, it's still a good idea to leave the branch in place as part of the name, or at the very least include it in branch=*.

80882173

this was still closed a few days after the light rail opened, so agreed we should check via survey before opening.

I see you added the fee value here, per fee=* I'd recommend using fee=yes (to say that a fee usually applies; the default) combined with fee:conditional=no @ (Tu-Fr 11:00-20:00; Sa-Su 10:00-20:00) to say that during these hours a fee doesn't apply. This is more in line with how conditional restrictions generally work osm.wiki/Conditional_restrictions

80754788

hi a tip for way/771066862/history name should only be a proper name see osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things

80757374

Hi there, just a tip about
way/771086617/history
waterway=canal is for man made features per waterway=canal for natural water courses see waterway=river or waterway=stream waterway=stream

80742798

Hi welcome to OSM. Just a tip, this kind of forest track is usually tagged as highway=track highway=track
