What is "The Sunshine Club" ?

Forgot:

6. Not everything in OSM needs a name. Only put names on things that have names and don't feel obliged to make up names like "waste disposal point".

Welcome to OSM. Just a few tips for you:

1. Names should be in lower case.
2. You need to check your spelling.
3. Shooting ranges can be tagged see: sport=shooting
4. This is not a secondary road. It's a driveway. See this for how roads are mapped in Australia: osm.wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines
5. Changeset comments that explain what you did are helpful for other mappers.

Meh. If there is one thing I learned from importing several thousand of these in NSW is that it's much easier to import these sort of things with a clean slate.

You'd be surprised how many mappers think you can just copy whatever you like into OSM without asking.

Sorry, thought the changeset comment was fairly clear as to what this is for. Did you look at changeset/55665896 ?

I'd be more worried about the kind of person that would be driving around this part of NSW following a route provided by their GPS rather than knowing where they are going.

@tonyf1: FM that search engine on data.sa.gov.au is helpful. I searched for proposed, subdivision, cadastre, road, and location SA and couldn't find it. Turns out the magic search term was land.

@atschulz7: Copying anything from another map is an import, even if it is only one thing. If you want to contribute to an open source mapping project where no-one will look at your work I can recommend http://fosm.org/.

Hi,

We don't have permission to use data from Location SA. We have permission to use SA data but only datasets that have been released under CC-BY. Location SA has not released any datasets under CC-BY. You can check this website to find out which dataset have been released under CC-BY (https://data.sa.gov.au/). Please do not import anymore data from Location SA.

Thank You.

Can I assume that:

way/554130009/history

Is a work in progress?

We don't have permission to use that data in Openstreetmaps. Please don't import this.

Thanks.

Hi,

What source did you use for way/553458794?

Thank you.

It applies to anything you copy from another map or dataset.

It also means we have a problem with the Bundaberg boundaries because we don't have permission to use them in OSM.

OK, so that explains the Brisbane ones. Where did the ones around Bundaberg, that you put in, come from? And how about dropping a message on talk-au (https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au) to let other mappers know that you are planning an import (which is step two of the guidelines osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines).

And while you're at it: what is the source of this data?

A tip for next time: if a track's been closed but it's still visible on the aerial imagery I'd leave the way but tag it disused: (disused=*:) and add a note that the track has been closed. Otherwise what happens is that mappers will see the track on the imagery and put it back in again.

Hello!
Thank you very much for your contributions to OpenStreetMap!
I reviewed your changeset on OSMCha and found some errors or elements
that could be mapped in a better way. Feel free to message me
to know more about it or visit http://learnosm.org/ to get started.

This changeset has been reverted.

These boundaries were imported from the NSW LPI dataset and are therefore what the owner of this reserve thinks are correct.

You will find many examples where the existing road does not fit within the original road reserve. This just represents the facts on the ground.

Copying anything is an import. Doesn't matter how small.

It would appear that we haven't had much success in getting QLD to agree see this mail thread:

https://www.mail-archive.com/talk-au@openstreetmap.org/msg10883.html

Several problems:

1. The "permission" OSM received from Data Australia was worthless. A Commonwealth body does not have the legal right to sub-licence a state owned dataset. So we've never had permission to use this dataset.

2. Even if we did, the licence has now been changed and the permission would no longer be valid.

3. OSM now requires us to get a signed waiver to use CC4.0 datasets:
