[OSM-talk] Burger King use of OSM without Attribution

2016-05-27 Thread Clifford Snow

I notices a new user added a fast food node [1] in Spokane, WA. The name
was entered as BK. Assuming it was probably a Burger King, I did a search
and found that it was actually a Burger King restaurant. What I noticed was
their map [2] was identical to OSM.

I sent a message via their contact me link on the page asking that they
comply with our terms of use.

Has anyone else noticed Burger King using OSM data before?

[1] http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/39617650
[2] http://www.bk.com/restaurants/wa/spokane/1804-west-francis-ave-5816.html

On a side note, I did send the user a message asking to verify the name.
First time user with MAPS.ME.

[Talk-us] PROPOSED IMPORT: NYC DEP Watershed Recreation Areas

2016-05-27 Thread Kevin Kenny

As I mentioned informally on-list a few days ago, I am contemplating
an import of the boundaries of the recreation areas belonging to the
New York City Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Water
Supply. Since I heard no cries of protest, I assembled a formal
project plan at

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import:_NYCDEP_Watershed_Recreation_Areas

and linked to it from the Import/Catalogue page.

If I don't hear any serious objections (I think that my reply to
Frederik Ramm adequately addresses his concern about observability), I
plan to import the first few areas in another week, solicit peer
review of those, and then import the rest of them about a week after
that.

I'm quite confident that the geospatial part of the import is in very
good shape to proceed. The semantic part is of greater concern. I
recognize that the ice is thin under some of the tagging. If anyone
has a better idea, I'd be glad to hear it!

It finally started working, for no apparent reason. Maybe someone
fixed something.

Still no success... I tried what you suggested: searching for "NYCDEP
Watershed Recreation Areas import" (without the double quotes) - then
use the Create NYC.. page link to create it. I got back to where I was
asked to solve a captcha - with no captcha on the page anywhere.  It's
asking me to solve captchas in order to edit as well - but not
presenting them to me.

I was able to update an old entry without being prompted for proof that I'm
not a robot. It shouldn't matter to the catalogue but have you created your
import project page? That is the most important part.

[Talk-us] What is appropriate procedure for putting an import proposal on the Wiki?

2016-05-27 Thread Kevin Kenny

I appear to be locked out of editing wiki.openstreetmap.org - this may
be actually the first time that I've tried, I'm not sure.

I have an account on the Wiki, I know my password, and I can
successfully bring up the interface that edits a page.

I'm trying to create a page Import/Catalogue/NYC DEP Watershed Recreation Areas
to present the formal plan for the import that I informally mentioned
on this list a few days ago.
When I try it from a desktop interface, I get the message:

To protect the wiki against automated page creation, we kindly ask you
to type the two words you see in the box below:

but there is no box, nor are there two words, nor can I find any place
to type them. I get the same symptoms on both Firefox and Chrome.

When, instead, I try it from the mobile view, it allows me to enter
the content, but when I attempt to save the page, I get

Saving edit, please wait.

and the circular icon goes round and round and round, with no effect.

I suspect that an edit of this nature requires some sort of special
privilege. If that's the case, whom should I ask for the page to be
added? For what it's worth, the initial text is in
https://chiselapp.com/user/kbk/repository/osm-nycdep-import/raw/nycdep-import.wikitext?name=fdf1ae09a51b33a206266a446f5fb64d07e5129f
. I'd also like to add the image from
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ke9tv/14018132286/ next to the third
paragraph of 'Goals' - possibly with the annotation:

Original photograph copyright 2014 by Kevin B. Kenny. Released
under CC-BY-2.0.
Design elements on the sign are and remain the registered
trademarks of New York City
and are presented for documentary and nominative value. No
endorsement by New York
City, its officials or its contractors is thereby implied.
