Forgive me for asking, what is “that thing”? What is “that place”? What is “that Telegram”?

Can we get something written by a human rather than a massive post spewed out by an LLM please? It sounds like these automated edits were made by an ai model without prior discussion - this is very concerning. I note that the user page does not contain any documentation or links to wiki pages explaining the methodology of this automated edit - in violation of the automated editing guidelines. There are no mentions that this is an automated process on the changesets either. There are cases where duplicate relations with the same ref= are being created such as N610c (osm.org/relation/21284099 and osm.org/relation/21284102) - how is the community supposed to verify these edits when almost 900 changesets have been made in a single day? These sorts of errors in the process may have been identified if the planned automated edits were discussed and documented before beginning. 400 relations being created with a fixme= tag is a very high percentage (almost 50%). What is the merit of creating all this extra work for human contributors to validate and clean up afterwards? Without human review in the creation of these relations, errors within ref=tags may be carried forwards into the new relations, which may have been corrected had this process been done manually.

Thanks for noticing that Alex, I’ve tweaked the wording!

Please do not create loads of spam diary posts like this - they are visible to everyone and come across as nonsensical and promotional content

Well said, rich detail is something that OSM excels at and mapping with care should be encouraged! If we wanted a map full of imprecise buildings and landuse, we’d all be using Google Maps!

Looks amazing! Great work! Now it’s time for building:colour? ;) Fyi: Streets.gl will never update, it’s currently an abandoned project and requires map data to be refreshed manually.

It’s been reverted (osm.org/changeset/180011487). The best way to report vandalism in the future is by emailing data@openstreetmap.org with details of the changes you think are vandalism.

I’m confused - this user is talking about different things they’ve updated in OSM in this and the previous diary post, and yet have made 0 edits…

Hi Palamito, it wasn’t my edits that got reverted. If you look at this way’s history, you will see that Allegiant Stadium was mapped incorrectly with hundreds of building=yes (not building:part=yes) and other incorrect tags. Since the geometry was very detailed, I chose to reuse it and started from scratch with the tags.

Also your business is a scam because you have fake reviews and a fake trustpilot score on your website :)

Hi Dokdo, I used building:part=yes because using building:part=roof would have made the building hollow on the inside which would be wrong, also with words such as “The O’s” the angles don’t line up perfectly so if they were just =roof there would be small gaps inbetween building parts that would look bad. Because you have to use multipolygons, most of these building parts represent the roof and the building underneath, not just the roof.

Unsure what you mean by “someone whether it be human or bot modifying and taking ownership of my points.” ~ that’s not really possible on OSM, there’s no concept of ownership of map data… were you referring to this? osm.org/node/12333559476/history
