Re: [Talk-us] Marking a wiki page for deletion?
In this case redirect seems better.
Replace entire page text by
#REDIRECT [[target page]]
You can also add delete template
to request deletion:
{{Delete|reason for deletion}}

I agree that we needed and still need a way to clean up all the remaining untouched TIGER data. However, without the TIGER import, the same 11-12 years would have been spent surveying and naming the roads one by one and tracing them from (sometimes outdated) satellite/aerial photos and we would probably still be way behind where we are with the TIGER import. If it had been on me to trace my neighborhood from a blank slate when I first started mapping, I might well have given up on OSM at that point. -- Shawn K.

One more thing we might potentially learn from our (OSM-US') experience (of the TIGER import of 2007-8), would be to insist upon a high bar for such large-scale imports in the future (this was our largest, without a doubt): the proposers of the import must "pre-load for the back-end" a renderer that will both display and foster such goal-oriented tools to "finish the job with high-quality AFTER the import." Import proposers would be required to author and maintain this renderer / server for as long as satisfactory QA-completion of the import takes. True, we might not be sure "how long such services would be provided" (nobody's good intentions or crystal balls are absolutely perfect), but it certainly is worth considering insisting upon something like this for large-scale imports. (Should we ever again risk them). Our Import Guidelines seem a happy medium right now, though for something huge, a similarly huge commitment to having the technical chops and providing (renderer server) resources to finish the job well seems fair. We have good examples of tools that help us "how," we might agree to require these "if and when again." Still seeking a good TIGER reviewer / visualizer, though I can get some things done with OT.

[Talk-us] Marking a wiki page for deletion?
I goofed in our wiki by not moving (renaming) an old page to a new one, but by
instead and mistakenly creating the new one from scratch. So, the old wiki
page ("Tren Urbano," a subway/metro in Puerto Rico) needs to be deleted, as
"Puerto Rico/Railroads" encompasses / supersedes it).
Is there a way for me to delete a wiki page (without special wiki privileges,
which I have not) or a place / method to "mark" a wiki page for deletion?
Thank you in advance for any answers / action,

[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2019-12-21
These are based off of Lambertus's work here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl If you have questions or comments about these maps, please feel free to ask. However, please do not send me private mail. The odds are, someone else will have the same questions, and by asking on the talk-us@ list, others can benefit. Downloads: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2019-12-21 Map to visualize what each file contains: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2019-12-21/kml/kml.html FAQ Why did you do this? I wrote scripts to joined them myself to lessen the impact of doing a large join on Lambertus's server. I've also cut them in large longitude swaths that should fit conveniently on removable media. http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2019-12-21 Can or should I seed the torrents? Yes!! If you use the .torrent files, please seed. That web server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this side of the Atlantic. Why is my map missing small rectangular areas? There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the red rectangles), I don't see any at the moment, so you may want to update if you had issues with the last set. Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card? If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from the factory. I had to reformat it to let me create a >2GB file. Does your map cover Mexico/Canada? Yes!! I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario in to the USA. Some areas of North America that are close to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps. This might not happen forever, and if you would like your non-US area to get included, let me know. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
