Re: [Tagging] Sidewalk tagged on highway=cycleway

I think this should be tagged with lanes, to be compatible with road lane
tagging:

bicycle:lanes:forward=designated|no
foot:lanes:forward=no|designated

Or if this looks a bit complicated (it does to me) invent a new tag,
something like:

designated:lanes:forward=bicycle|foot

 Hi,

 there is a sentence on

 which says

 It is also possible to use {{Tag|sidewalk|right}}/*=left [on
 highway=cycleway] to indicate which side of the segregated path
 pedestrians should walk on (where right/left is relative to the way's
 direction).

 It was originally contributed by ulamm and modified by RobJN after a
 short discussion (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:RobJN).
 But this is the opposite of what is written on

 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks

 The inclusion of sidewalk information makes it easier to provide
 effective pedestrian routing, and in particular good narrative
 descriptions of pedestrian routes along motorised roads. The sidewalk
 tag is not needed on non-motorised thoroughfares, for example
 highway=footway/cycleway/path/brideway/track. 

 I think there better solutions to the problem than ulamm's.

 If there are no further arguments, I will remove the sentence from the
 first citation. What is your opinion on that?

Re: [Tagging] Accuracy of survey

2015-01-01 Thread Michael Patrick
 While realigning the coastline is possible, they will be surveying for a
decade or so just to figure out everything that moved.

No, not a decade.

While it will take some amount of time for changes to propagate to
cartographic products according to their update cycle, the 'figuring out
what moved' happens in essentially real time across the major geodetic
network, and probably across a month depending on the ephemeris of the JAXA
and ESA SARsat http://vldb.gsi.go.jp/sokuchi/sar/index-e.html platforms,
although that is probably according to some sort of priority criteria
derived from the GNSS data.

See Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, 1.Continuous observation at
the GNSS-based control stations and 4.Synthetic Aperture Radar
observation at http://www.gsi.go.jp/ENGLISH/page_e30068.html

Coastal survey is longer, because of temporal interval required to
interpolate and detect sea level extremes  between the phasing of the tides
and the satellites, look angles, etc.

I think it's a slippery slope problem. Agreed that 13 nodes is not a

objects would you mechanically-edit without any extra discussion and

Perhaps we should allow such edits as long as their number doesn't
exceed the number of people having voted. So up to 22 objects would have
been ok in this case ;)

One of the points of discussion is on which list the discussion should

Apparently, Paul Norman has changed the policy in this respect on 30
October 2013, as far as I know without communicating this to the

As the proposal was started only two weeks after this change, I don't

Re: [Tagging] hrmpf.

2015-01-01 Thread Rainer Fügenstein
frederik,

FR I think it's a slippery slope problem. Agreed that 13 nodes is not a
FR lot. But at how many would you draw the line? 20? 100? 500?

all 13 nodes have been checked and edited by me manually (not using
search-and-replace). since this case is not covered in the mechanical
edit policy, IMHO this policy does not apply.

therefore, it should not matter if 13, 20, 100, 500 nodes have been
changed this way.

the main reason for the edit was the fact that those nodes contained
both man_made=pipeline AND pipeline=marker tags, which was even wrong
considering the old version of the pipeline wiki page.

FR How many
FR objects would you mechanically-edit without any extra discussion and
FR solely based on an 18:4 vote in a tagging discussion?

pipeline mapping is the field of a small minority of mappers.
considering this logic, established tags in fields of minority
interests can never be changed, unless it becomes the interest of the
majority.

apart from that, the main criticism is the change of type=* to
sustance=* (which was also done in the changeset) as a result of the
proposal. I see a point here, considering that the change of a tag
affects map styles, software, ... as mentioned by SomeoneElse.

I followed the proposal process step by step, and it does say nothing
about notifying others. thanks to Matthijs for his research  comment.

Won't this apply to your change:

You can even use your editor's search-and-replace function for that but 
only if you check each individual action caused by this, rather than just 
mechanically changing things.

Note that it's enough to check each individual ACTION which you 
probably could immediately do with two glances in JOSM taglist :-). 
...So you should be out of scope already after that check regardless
of the number of objects.

However, I'd recommend you to use upload selection multiple times for 
smaller areas so it wouldn't look suspicious to those who care about 
mechanical edits only if they have a big bbox (or even use big bbox

Re: [Tagging] Tagging private property

2015-01-01 Thread Mateusz Konieczny
Yes, owner may be used on areas (for example I encountered it used on
landuse=forest).

But I think that typically it is not really useful information to tag -
hard to verify,
changes in unnoticeable ways, hard to use (the same owner may be named in
many ways).

Also, legal ownership structure is sometimes overcomplicated for legal
purposes (no,
it is not owned by city - it is is owned by company A, owned by foundation
B that is
controlled by city).

hi,

IJ Won't this apply to your change:

no, because I still insist on the fact that changing 13 nodes manually
is not a mechanical edit. neither by the (small) number, nor by the
way it was done.

the main critique here is that a tag was changed during the proposal
process (type=* to substance=*). the proposal process was followed
step by step, and it says nothing about consulting the MEP or any
mailing list other than this.
