It's nice to see the data we added to the OSM map being used.

[HOT] Validation
Mapping in Africa from satellite images I find I'm adding perhaps half a dozen settlements when I validate, they're quite quick and easy to do. Some are huts and are not quite so easy to spot. Question at what point should I invalidate? The question arises when perhaps I've added a dozen settlements and half a dozen highways, I'm fairly experienced so fairly comfortable the work is OK after I've added in the validation but there is the question that I've added a dozen settlements and no one else will be validating. I'm looking more for pragmatic answers more than anything else, there is a concern that if I invalidate a tile it may demotivate a mapper and at the moment we have a lot of tiles to map.

Re: [HOT] Validation
John, I tend to vary it a bit - My normal comment in the box is something like 'imagery was probably slow to load which is why they were missed', but then I often add a link to something like http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/remote/#buildings-compounds-amp-barriers and a casual comment about round huts being explained there, just in case the mapper isn't recognising them. Sometimes I'm quite happy to do a lot of missed mapping on the basis that it can be quite relaxing pleasant to do so! If I do add the missing bits, I normally still add the link send the message just in case there is a learning point. When I'm validating for a mapathon I try to actually see the mapper get them to add the missing bits. Although quality control is important, helping each other is more important. I don't like to see squares invalidated for little reason as it tends to lead to ill feeling. I only ever invalidate if there is a lot missing though - we can all miss a couple of buildings on occasion. I have genuinely had imagery fail to load properly, so I missed an entire area at one point, and only picked up on it when working on the adjoining square realising there had to be something I had missed. Keep up the good work.

Re: [HOT] New task of urban mapping in Erbil, Iraq
Hi Claire, Maybe it would be good you add a priority area covering the area to be surveyed soon. I would also and the header we frequently add on top (Author, Requesting org, etc.) and would emphasize the fact it will be a base for a survey (IMHO it is a motivation point).

Re: [HOT] Validation
Hi John, It is a difficult question you ask as I feel the same way you and Nick do, I really don't want to invalidate squares to avoid discouraging people. I tend to almost never invalidate a square unless it is obvious that someone clicked done thinking that meant they were just done looking at it. So, depending on how much mapping there is to do I usually: Just do the mapping if it is less than 15 mins worth and make sure to let the person who marked it done thank you for the mapping, there was a bit more to do so I finished it up. I will also often just map it even if it is longer than 15 mins but I end up validating a lot less if that is the case on a lot of squares. Unlock a task square and then just directly message the person and ask them if they could map a bit more. I only do this if we are talking a square completed in the past day or two. Unlock the task square and find another one to hopefully validate quicker if my time is limited. I know this is a terrible solution. There are probably some programmatic things to improve the situation that could be done: 1. Dialog box on marking Done that asks Are you sure you have mapped everything in the 'Entities to map' field? 2. Maybe reverse what we have now: No mail gets sent when something is invalidated and mail gets sent when something is validated. I don't know how many people come back to map if their task square gets invalidated anyway, especially if it is weeks or months later so we might not be gaining anything by sending the invalidated notice and just discouraging people. I think we would gain a lot more if people got notices of the good job they did instead. And then we wouldn't feel bad to invalidate a task square so it can get the attention it needs and we can move on to validate more tasks. That might be a good simple start, just stop sending the 'invalidated' notices. Thank you for bringing it up, the validation process is tricky and subtle.
