Hi,

I never received a response about the question below.. Can I get a confirmation

No idea what happened, but that mail never made it to

[OSM-talk-ie] Townlands in Monaghan

2020-09-13 Thread Andy Townsend

Hello - Andy from the DWG here.

A recent emailer has written (of townlands.ie/monaghan): "This page 
states that there are 4 Baronies in Monaghan.  There are actually 5 
Baronies in Monaghan, Farney is missing from the list. Barony Farney can 
be found on the website, but not on this page". I think "the website" 
here probably means 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Baronies_of_County_Monaghan .


I've already suggested that the DWG's correspondant contact the OSM IE 
community directly via https://www.openstreetmap.ie/contact/ , but I 
haven't seen anything on IRC or here, hence I'm posting this.  They may 
of course already be in contact via Facebook or similar (in which case 
my apologies for the noise).


Best Regards,

Andy

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] More fantasy mapping

2020-07-19 Thread Andy Townsend

Hello,

The deleter of the Belturbet bypass has struck again.  Despite a message 
to show what they needed to do to contribute to OSM in the future 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/3792 they added an "N5" past 
Lough Rynn Castle at 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/53.8951/-7.8543 .  I've blocked 
again (see https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/3802 ) and reverted 
that, but some of the reverts failed because another mapper had edited 
some of the new features added in the meantime.  I've commented on 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/88128714 about those edits - my 
suspicion is that all these "shops" are just imaginary and I need to 
delete them, but I thought that it would make sense to check here too.


Best Regards,

Andy (from the DWG)

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Changeset needs reversal

(answering my own question) - yes

There was a DWG report about this user last night.  I'm currently 
reverting their problematic changes from 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/87226621 onwards.  Some have 
already been done, so there'll need to be a bit of a post-revert tidy 
afterwards.  If there are any further questions about I'll ask.

Most of / all this changeset needs reversal, especially the N3, where the 
bypass was mapped. I would be grateful if someone could help.


I see that that one's been done - do any others need reverting too?

The logical approach should be to map it as house/garage/shed etc and ONLY
use building=yes if you cannot make an educated guess.

Doing otherwise puts this data on the level of the tiger import.


No. TIGER import had plenty of outright invalid, incorrect and insane data.
This is merely missing not very important part of info.

+1 to that.

Sometimes people forgot just how piss-poor some of the imported TIGER 
data was.  To be fair, it was a lifetime ago in OSM terms.

OK - done.  The change is at:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/osm-community-index/tree/Add_Ireland_geojson

the geojson is:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/osm-community-index/blob/Add_Ireland_geojson/features/europe/ireland/ireland.geojson

which looks like;

If everyone's happy with that I'll create a pull request for

I would suggest creating a config specifically for Northern Ireland that

In most cases, anything less than a country requires a geojson 
definition I think, so it probably wouldn't actually save any work.  I 
did have a go with lists against a resource but didn't have a lot of 
success, so the easiest way is probably to define an "island of Ireland" 
geojson and change some (or all) Irish resources to use that.


Overlaps aren't a problem - there are plenty already at 
https://openstreetmap.community/ - I suspect that the result would just 
be that NI showed up a bit darker because it was in two overlapping 
areas, and if you clicked on it at https://openstreetmap.community/ 
you'd just get a combination of both Irish and UK resources.

[OSM-talk-ie] Ireland within the OSM Community Index

2020-01-30 Thread Andy Townsend

Hello,

While fixing something else, I noticed (as you do) that a number of 
Irish resources in the OSM Community Index seem to be defined using the 
country code "ie" rather than an explicit area.  If you go to 
https://openstreetmap.community/ and zoom in you can see the effect - it 
thinks that (for example) talk-gb covers GB and Northern Ireland, and 
talk-ie covers the only Republic.  I've always assumed that this list is 
the one that covers the island of Ireland, and the same is true for 
other Irish resources too.


I think that the solution is to do something similar to what I did at 
https://github.com/osmlab/osm-community-index/pull/315 - define a 
geojson file for the area and change the Irish resources that should 
cover the whole island to use it (see 
https://github.com/osmlab/osm-community-index/pull/315/files for a 
similar example).


I'm happy to submit the change, or to help someone else submit the 
change, but obviously didn't want to do it before contacting someone 
here first.


Best Regards,

Andy
