I would say that missing data is a form of error in OSM and I have used
notes to indicate such things before. The only problem with adding things
based only on notes is that we don't know the source or accuracy of the
information, especially from anonymous notes. We get a lot of notes from
Hi,
IMHO missing stuff is some kind of error and it might be correct to
store that information in a note.
But it's more complex than just add a note and we'll do the rest.
Adding a note even as a personal note for adding it later is a valid
action, if e.g. don't have the time to do more now or
If you create a new note at openstreetmap.org, you get a prompt that
begins: 'Spotted a mistake or something missing?' So I think your
understanding of what is a valid note is at fault.

Err, some thoughts after some heavy note-closing in France.

Perhaps it is because English is not my native language but I
understand a Note to be a comment, whether about missing data or wrong
data or in fact, as I've sometimes done, a note about imagery missing
for a future imagery refresh.
I mapped my hometown last summer and one part of it was

Didn't know that. Is it documented somewhere? Not on the wiki about the

Sorry - my fault - it's not. I had to
Well, it's not errors only, but notes of course.
My argument goes into: it might be useful to add a note *about* an
error, too.
It's best to fix errors immediately, of course; but it's better to
document them for later to fix than to do nothing and forget about it.
Therefore notes are like an

Ok, as long as it can be understood by anybody. It is not always the case.
As for the page on your profile, have you ever tried to use it after
contributing to more than 20 notes? 50 notes? 1000 notes? Very rapidly

Hi Team,
I've been doing some SuperUser edits in 4sq recently and poked my head into
the OSM page they hold on their site (https://foursquare.com/about/osm) and
its slightly at odds with the messaging I have been using when resolving
notes I have deemed as irrelevant to use and I thought I'd
Hey Jason -
I'm not sure I follow as Foursquare's page says:
If you just want something small fixed but don't have the time to sign up
and edit, it's easy to add a note.
Which seems to be in line with how you're using notes (reporting errors).
What am I missing?

Hi Alex,
Good question and I have since figured out how to access notes I have
touched/resolved to demonstrate my point. My treatment of notes is
probably the problem. :)
I see this note [1] as being a legitimate use case for them in that there
used to be a roundabout there and not the
