Considering there's also a "hanger" there that doesn't seem to be visible on any aerial imagery I just checked, I'm in favour of deleting it. It just doesn't seem to actually exist, and I question where the name came from. --- Thanks, Andrew Welch m...@andrewwelch.net On 29/04/2024 5:34 pm,

Hi Bryce, Of those datasets, the City of Adelaide one appears to be the only one containing house numbers with some kind of geographical reference, so it's got some potential for an import if someone has the time to go through it. The roads dataset doesn't include house numbers, and the

It's only occurring again because he's been told that changing roads to DataSA classifications will result in further blocks. And yeah, as Daniel has said, this is a pointless edit that offers no real improvements, and realistically seems like an attempt for one mapper to continue mapping the way

I have to disagree with the first part of that. OSM is designed as somewhere where you can map pretty much anything that exists, as long as it can be verified. Part of the reason why we want them to map the way we map is because it shows clearly that while there is a path there, it is informal (so

Frederik basically covers what I was trying to say, the edits go against how we map in OSM, and repeated attempts to work with them just haven't worked yet. OSM does not belong to NPWS, they can't just go deleting things like it's their own GIS system. If they have better things to do, then they

The user who's edits were revered by Frederik has now tagged those ways as access=no, hopefully that means the message is starting to get across to NPWS. They did set some questionable names on those trails though, and haven't replied to a changeset comment asking about those. Thanks, Andrew

I think it might also be important to state that OSM is a database, so if consumers aren’t rendering tracks properly if tagged as such, the issue is with them not us, and that what they are doing can be considered as vandalism by mappers. We have ways to reflect the current state, and ensure that
