Hi,

way/208115815/

What does power:gauge=300 mean? :)

Hi,

Welcome to OSM. Congratulations on ~770 contributions on your first day. :)

If there are terraces of houses, like the one this was a member of: way/1479834029/ there is a tool in the JOSM editor for doing this automatically.

Tip: Add details like number of storeys, street address, etc. before the split, that way each individual house can have those details.

Hi,

Welcome to OSM. Well done on your first day's mapping count ~1675 objects added / edited.

I deleted the one-too-many house on this terrace on Father Mathew Road: way/1479824549/

Tip: We find that it is often easier to determine the number of houses by looking at the back gardens / yards.

Hi,

way/553520199/

An old edit, but access=private seems off.

Thank you.

Hi,

node/2111374429/

Can I check what happened here? The tagging includes:
not:operator:wikidata=Q23038143
operator=Bord Gáis Energy

This seems to be nonsensical.

That said, Ørsted seem to be involved there now: https://orsted.ie/renewable-energy-solutions/onshore-wind/onshore-wind-farms

Hi,

way/1293068143/

You had "FIXME=Apparent discontinuity in house numbering" for a few houses here.

The houses facing Weston Road are in the seventy-something range. The houses facing Sweetmount Avenue are in the one-hundred-and-twenty-something range.

I've made changes based on that.

Hi,

How come the bridge is marked as
access=no?

That means nobody can access it at all.

169928730

Thanks.

169928730

Yes, copy away. :)

Hi,
way/560823213

I'm going to change operator="Lisburn and Castlereagh City Centre" to "Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council". :)

I know the feeling. :D

Hi,

Are you sure that this path is correct? As in crossing other paths and the playground.

Hi,

In Ireland, place and street names, etc. are a mess. Many rural roads have no name. Many roads have more than one name or more than one spelling. Many roads, especially new ones in housing estates, have ambiguous names. Many addresses do not match the name of the road. OSM has large gaps, but is actually one of the better places for nuanced names.

Logainm (in the Irish language, loga + ainm = logbook + name): www.logainm.ie is a university-based project on place names, in association with the government's The Placenames Branch: https://www.gov.ie/en/department-of-rural-and-community-development-and-the-gaeltacht/organisation-information/the-placenames-branch/ Logainm has a series of sister projects for similar topics.

The Irish chapter of OSM collaborates with Logainm, insofar as we report issues with names, e.g. etymology, mis-interpretations, mis-spellings, duplicate entries, missing entries. In turn, they provide us with the proper spellings and use OSM on their site. There is a issue with Logainm, insofar as official sources have gaps when it comes to things like the names of bridges, roundabouts, cross roads, etc. and new names. logainm:ref=No entry and logainm:url=No entry exist because of these gaps. They are a way to identify gaps in Logainm and stops OSM users from repeatedly looking for an entry that doesn't exist - this can be time consuming, as many names are repeated, e.g. "The Court" seems to apply to 2,087 different roads.

There are 92,455 objects tagged logainm:ref=*. There are 80,156 objects tagged logainm:url=*. I suspect the main difference is with waterway=*.

I would be strongly against removing such a value, unless it is replaced by a correct value.

Hi,

way/148522676/

You have a fixme here. "fixme=is this actually a waterway? no clear evidence of it from streetlevel imagery at the supposed road crossing."

If you look at Bing Streetside, one side of the road has two gates. If you look to the right of the left-hand gate, you can see the void above where the stream (no more than a ditch really) is. You can't actually see the stream.

The short section of wall is also more suggestive of bridge than culvert. I've shortened the bridge span a lot.

However, looking at GSGS 3906, I do think the southern end of this stream might be confused with a road and it should be truncated.

Hi,

Welcome to OSM.

Just be careful to create somewhat concise changesets - this one stretches from Poyntzpass to Tallaght. :)

Hi,

Welcome to OSM and thank you for your contributions.

Please be aware that there are agreed standards for certain things, e.g. B-roads are mapped as highway=secondary. :) way/526811183/
