Re: [Tagging] Formerly proposed highways
2011/5/1 Andrew Cleveland : > Can the highway=proposed tag apply to highways which were proposed but > are no longer? no, IMHO highway=proposed doesn't apply. This would not be a proposed (planned) highway but a formerly proposed highway. If you want to put them into OSM nonetheless (many mappers are objecting to this kind of data), please use another tag.

[Tagging] Vote / Opinion poll about history=event
To stop a beginning of edit war ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Map_Features:historic&action=history), I would like try something new and ask your feedback about the tag history=event wiki page. This tag is the result of a former discussion about immaterial historical "significant" events on this ML ( http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/What-to-map-a-site-of-historical-significants-td6300403.html ). Since every one is allowed to add almost every thing in the database (as soon as it is verifiable), the question is not to "vote or approve a tag" (since the definition is quite clear) but only if this tag can be referenced in the "Map Features" (remember the wiki page that defines itself as "agreeing to a recommended set of features"). If a majority does not like it, the wiki page remains but it is not referenced in the "Map Features" (helping those who are searching about historic events or finds the tag in the db). To participate, it's here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Devent Pieren ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

I would use "event:date" instead of "date". To make it more useful there should IMHO also be a list of suggested event-types (like the suggested robbery) (I'd simply start with a few suggestions from the thread and add everything else that might be needed at the time it is used). To reduce the danger of edit wars: what about _not_ defining the events explicitly "significant" (most of German Wikipedia disputes are about "relevance criteria" and I'd rather avoid similar discussions in OSM if possible). Of course we all expect only "significant" events to be mapped, but requiring it explicitly will encourage others to delete stuff and say: but it was not significant (enough). cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Re: [Tagging] Vote / Opinion poll about history=event
After digging further into this, and with all XAPI servers seemingly unresponsive I looked toward tagwatch, the following are historic values of curious note: yes (5053) pa (2138) battlefield (331) Altstraße (80) heritage (76) tumulus (60) industrial (54) coat_of_arms (54) hollow_way (41) road (37) quarry (36) lavoir (33) UNESCO_world_heritage (33) re (32) railway_station (31) Personally I think historic=yes isn't a good idea, since you have to do further digging to be able to classify things, where as stipulating why it's historic is of much better value. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
