Hello - I have been doing some work just lately. I started out mostly in #665 (shout-out to @schuyler at @MaptimeOAK). I am doing more in #611 (Gaza Strip) now.
Two things. Is it cool to check buildings in the Gaza task and add the source tag? I can make arguments both ways. On the one hand, where else would the imagery have come from? AFAIK, there is no other source on the project. On the other hand, who knows what someone was looking at. Adding a source attribution knowing nothing of the source might not be kosher. But I can see, also, that the building is there in this imagery, so I am not just closing my eyes and adding data. So, yes or no? Also, I found what appeared to be software edits. Buildings were marked with a bunch of all-caps attributes that had to do with perimeter and area and a bunch of other things but almost all values were "0" or "0.0". I took some out and then decided that might not be good. On the other hand, software edits can be a problem, yes? Should these be corrected in validation only? Let me know. Trying to help but not mess up others work. If there is an easy way to find out the fate of my edits, whether they were validated or un-done, give a holler. I know I can find a lot of info on my edits but there may not be a single-page source like this, or there could be and it might take a while to find. So, open to suggestions. thanx - ray _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
