Changeset When Comment
175608540 27 days ago

Hello,
Please use better changeset comments than simply "." - use words that describe what you did and explain why.
In this case, you seem to be removing a "landuse=military" that you yourself added 3 months ago.
It is clearly not very secret, since the bus stop outside has the name "군부대앞" ("In front of the military base")
Best Regards,
Andy

Answering that:
> To be clear, the English name is Dokdo

No, it really isn't. That's just an anglicisation of the Korean name.

> I'll change that back
Please don't do that. I'm trying to sort things out on behalf of the Data Working Group (see changeset/174912300 ) so that (a) the fact that these islands are under Korean control is recognised in OSM and (b) everyone who has other ways of describing them can use those too.

> OpenStreetMap information should be based on data from the country that is in effective control

No, that is incorrect. See https://osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf for details.

(for international readers, that comment above translates as "That's not the official name. Dokdo is currently under the effective control of the Republic of Korea, but the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't use names like "Riancourt Rocks." To be clear, the English name is Dokdo. I'll change that back. OpenStreetMap information should be based on data from the country that is in effective control.")

Problems are easy to find - relation/5371741/history is one. The original relation was tagged as amenity=school but was a type=site relation, you added education=school and someone then removed amenity=school from that and added it to the outer way way/29083822 .
The overpass query to find these problems is https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2hfT - change the area of that to look elsewhere.

The osm.wiki/Proposal_process page contains the text "Also, a vote result is never permission for large-scale re-tagging of existing objects. See automated Edits code of conduct for more about this topic. " (and osm.wiki/ES:Procedimiento_de_propuesta likewise "Además, nunca utilices el resultado de una votación como justificación para el reetiquetado a gran escala de objetos existentes. Véase el código de conducta de ediciones automatizadas para más detalles sobre este tema. ").
I don't think that a revert will solve the problem, since any iD edits will just force the tag back in, but you will now need to monitor and manage the 20k objects you have edited to check for problems.

Actually changeset/163106660 (by a different mapper, ages ago) looks odd too.

Hello,
I'm a bit confused by the change here to https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/224164207 - the cycleway by the side of the road is now "bicycle=no; foot=no". That seems unlikely?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hola,
Esto parece una edición automatizada. ¿Podrías indicar dónde se discutió con la comunidad?
Atentamente,

Hello,
This looks very much like an automated edit. Can you point to where it was discussed with the community?
Best Regards,
Andy

Re https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/clarifying-default-bicycle-access-on-highway-footway-and-highway-pedestrian/139023/124 , https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/240214608 et al now have "bicycle=dismount; foot=no". I've no idea what is correct but that is an implausible combination (I've also said this on the changeset by the other recent editor).

Hello,
I have reverted the changes to the Englist and French names of https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/relation/6646538 in changeset/175899550 .

174912300 27 days ago

Hello,
Andy from OSM's Data Working Group here. Please respect each other's names for things - as you can see from https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/456788679 there have been numerous deletions by several users, including both of you.
If you continue to do that we will have to prevent you from editing OSM.

Hola Calasanz, soy Andy, del Grupo de Trabajo de Datos de OSM.
Gracias por añadir una imagen de Wikimedia Commons de la señal de calle way/529079441. Como pueden ver en https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/529079441, el nombre ha cambiado con el paso de los años.
Sin embargo, sugeriría dejar las versiones "name:ca" y "name:es" si son correctas (que presumiblemente lo son). Tener todos los nombres de idiomas para una calle permite a quienes consultan los datos crear nombres en diferentes idiomas. Si se elimina name:es, no sabrán cuál es el nombre en español, ya que nada define en qué idioma se escribe "name".
Atentamente,

Hello Calasanz,
Andy from OSM's Data Working Group here. Thanks for adding a Wikimedia Commons image of the street sign of way/529079441 . As you can see from https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/529079441 , the name has been changed back and forth over the years.
However, I would suggest leaving the "name:ca" and "name:es" versions if they are correct (which they presumably are). Having all of the language names for a street allows people consuming the data to make makes in different languages. If you removing name:es, they won't know what the Spanish name is since nothing defines what language "name" is.
Best Regards,

Hello,
I'm a bit surprised to see that https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/829316713 became "bicycle=dismount" here. It's tagged as a public bridleway in OSM, which agrees with the local authority https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#19/53.25103/-1.83267/H/P , so I'd expect "bicycle" to be at least "yes". Are there signs discouraging cycling?
Best Regards,
Andy

@synthfi I suspect that it's forgivable in this case as they're using MAPS.ME to update the details of some airports they flew through - likely they weren't in a position to upload until they got home.
