Why was boundary=adminstrative changed to boundary=route for a county? (osm.wiki/w/index.php?title=Relation:route&uselang=en) The changeset comment is only 'la county'. I'll change it back but please let me know if there's a misunderstanding on my side.

Can you provide evidence that the english spelling is widely used? ü is not on many people's keyboards for example.

Canadapost claims copyright on their postcode database and sued companies in the past for reusing their data. While postcodes themselves are considered facts and shouldn't be able to be copyright-able so far the courts have decided in Canadapost's favor. Copying data from their website, or any other commercial dataset, and adding it to OpenStreetMap is not permitted.

Somewhat related discussion https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2020-June/009784.html

If you do a survey, e.g. see the postcode printed on the letterbox in front of the building, it can be added to OpenStreetMap. But their website is an extension of their database and coping many (in this case it seems 1200) postcodes would be copyright infringement.

I wish less buildings were affected and I know mapping is a lot of work but the data license isn't compatible with the OpenStreetMap license.

I've emailed https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group on 2022-05-31. If you feel treated unfairly we can ask them to immediate or clarify.

Deleted all 1295 postcodes added by this user. Happy to have a discussion, possibly revert some deletions but I've come overwhelmingly and sadly come to the conclusion it was copied from Gmaps.

The wikipedia page of node/151668218 says the place is locationed at/on the Rio Grande. I believe it describes node/151789456 instead

Hi Bruno,

Regarding way/682949653

"Ajouter une adresse manquante Ajouter votre établissement Ajouter un libellé Photos" (Add a missing, place, Add your business, Add a label
Photos)
That's the text Google Maps shows on their website, e.g. https://www.google.com/maps/place/1480+Rue+Graveline,+Saint-Jude,+QC+J0H+1P0,+Canada/@45.7769306,-72.9922716,18.18z

Can you explain which data was copied from Google Maps? Postal codes? House numbers?

All the best

I made a mistake in the changeset description. The place doesn't have a website. Instead I looked at postocdes in 10km radius to figure out which digit of the 6+4 was inserted too much.

I've recreated the hostel in Russia now node/1538126783 and deleted it here (I simply don't know how to move a node across 1000s of kilometers).

Hausnummer von way/278873492 in den falschen Tag geschrieben?

Vielen Dank.

Ja, das macht Sinn. Ich finde jetzt auch nur noch ein Hotel und eine Ferienwohnung im Ort, die die Bezeichnung nutzen. Werde das entfernen.

Damals fehlte auch relation/10650535/history das hatte ich hinzugefügt.

Gibt es einen "Darß"? Man liest "... am Darß" oder "Darßer ..." (z.B. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darsser_Naturfilmfestival) aber kein OSM Objekt hat so einen Namen. Es scheint mehr als der grosse Wald zu sein. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dar%C3%9F

Changeset comment "edited tags" doesn't really give a hint what was changed. The object has 185 tags.

The name "San Francisco City and County" was changed for "City and County of San Francisco". Wikipedia was changed from "en:San Francisco County" to "en:San Francisco".

Fixed with changeset/103423074 but the map takes a long time to display the changes.

Could have happened when I created relation/12339920 The relation is very big and hard to edit. I'll fix it.

That's great. I will remove the note then. Thanks a lot

If the source is Google Maps, a commercial non-free database, we'd need to remove this place.

Fixed now. (I can't seem to be able to delete the first comment)

Please use the correct address and website. You set a caravan park in Australia to an address and phone number in Texas, United States.

The changeset comprised of 1 relation, 4 ways, 60 nodes. I see only 2 ways, 7 nodes still have the tourism=attraction tag on place=cities/towns. Some were by Jobigutenburg, some by other mappers. I will edit the remaining and reference this changeset.

Thank you for taking the time to correct my mistake. I get the error " You don't have permission to access "http://www.redroof.com/" on this server." and assume they block me or my country.
