Re: [Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

After reading through the changeset discussion, I discovered that one of my imports in Northern Manitoba made Worst of OSM. ( http://worstofosm.tumblr.com/post/22180046353/dear-openstreetmap-isnt-it-strange-how-the). As someone who spends a some time amount of time in some of relatively

Re: [Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

No problem, I am not sure about the best way to deal with wooded areas. Canvec product was created with “layers” and merging them manually in a multipolygon is quite difficult. I usually correct everything that is reasonable such as merging water in wooded multipolygon, transferring text nodes

Re: [Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

Sorry I'm a very sarcastic person and have trouble decerning if people are sarcastic or not. Anyways what should we do with canvec tiles? Should we correct as much as possible leaving only 0-10 warnings(there are nodes that are tagged as land, but there's island names or other relevant info aka

I've contacted him as well. Here's what I sent: Good day, Nakaner I am a resident of Canada and a contributor to OSM here. Looking over your profile, you have over 5,500 edits across the OSM project, making you a skilled mapper. It has come to the attention of the Canadian OSM community recently

Re: [Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

But Daniel's comments make sense, I'm not sure we should go for this type of approach. Still I concur with them. On the forests there is an issue but its not open to a simplistic approach and hence difficult to resolve. John On 30 August 2016 at 18:28, James wrote: > I'm

Re: [Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

I have contacted the user that is about/has deleted some changesets imported from Canvec. I may agree on some of his comments but totally disagree on the method he is using to make his point. I do not know what the DWG will do about this guy but here is the message I sent him... Bonjour

Re: [Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

That's a pretty harsh thing to deal with. Imports are difficult and the time needed to get them right is not a small investment. To have someone review this work is a valuable service, but I don't think just blanket reverting due to the violation of one rule is the solution, especially in context

Effectivement, nous essayons de progresser collectivement. Effacer ce qui a été fait n'est pas une solution. Et nous hésitions à compléter l'import d'immenses zones au nord du Canada dû aux divers problèmes rencontrés. Il m'arrive à l'occasion de couper un grand polygone représentant une forêt
