Re: [talk-au] I made my own administrative boarder for the City of Ipswich

G'day Joel

Just had a look & Ipswich City Council do have an online map
http://maps.ipswich.qld.gov.au/connect/analyst/?mapcfg=Boundaries, based,
strangely enough, on something called OpenStreetMap! :-), & apparently
using CC-BY-2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

Maybe contact ICC re getting permission to use their map, so we can improve
our map, which will in turn improve their map? :-)


Thanks

Graeme

I would add the tag source= ... say something like 'personal knowledge, better 
local knowledge appreciated'.

I will do this.

By the way .. it is better to alter something to what you want rather than 
deleting the old and making a new,
that way people can track the history of the object backwards more easily .. 
and see what changes have been made.

Sorry, I explained poorly. The old data was an unauthorised import, also
half of the way was missing.

How much of this changeset needs to be undone???

Probably none, since no data was copied from Wikipedia. I only used it
for research, to find which settlements came under Ipswich.

E ... in your changeset you state
source=OSM Data, Local Knowledge, Wikipedia

Wikipedia is not allowed.. not comparable with OSM licensing.

How much of this changeset needs to be undone???

Sadly towards the south and west of Ipswich it was hard to work out
where the boarder truly is. If anyone has better local knowledge please
correct the way accuracy.

That way if anyone comes across it they can decide for themselves if 
they wan to alter it.
