Mapping Indianola, Iowa 2 | Great job, but what about the address grids. Alas, OSM currently has no way to map them… |
|
Historische Grenze zwischen der Vierherrschaft Lebach und dem Herzogtum Pfalz-Zweibrücken von 1791 | https://www.jidanni.org/geo/borders/n_s_dakota/plss/osm.html perhaps is interesting also. |
|
A more inclusive mapping party setup, for same-day imagery collection and mapathons. | Perhaps mention what area those pictures are of. |
|
You thought OpenStreetMap data uses the WGS84 datum? No it doesn't! | International boundary turning points in rivers are a case of important points that belong on the map, but with no physical representation, only coordinates… “so those coordinates better be good”… |

GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation | ||
GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation | How do you know there are more blocking me than blocking you? But that’s beside the point. Don’t you think there is maybe something wrong with being able to turn off other people’s notifications? Isn’t there any security problems with that model? If you had a choice, would you choose to 1) only turn off notifications to you of other people’s boring activities? Or, 2) turn off their notifications of your activities, so you could do things behind their back, even though the things you do are certainly good, and they are certainly a bad person, so has no right to know. And OK, 1) and 2) are linked to the same function, so it is hard to do 1) without also doing 2), so that makes it morally OK? https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3333#issuecomment-937212081 |

Parking_space micromapping JOSM method overview |
Perhaps be prepared for disasters by testing what kind of elements would be easy to move en masse. (Any at all?) |
|
Parking_space micromapping JOSM method overview | Glad that you are using air photos and not GPS in parking lots. I’m just worried if one day you will find your air photos were a meter or two off… |

OSM becoming a patchwork of different referencing systems | Today I illegally tried my country’s government map as a background, and found all my years of local mapping was skewed… proven by GPS traces (which match the government map) too. Well that’s what happens after a constant diet of your average satellite images, and a government that doesn’t allow one to use the local imagery or maps as reference. |

The pass history of OpenStreetMap Taiwan: the big blank area of Huko, Hsinhong, Kuanin | Alas the only layer with “perfect” WGS84 alignment is the government layer, and it is limited to zoom level 15. So the rest of the editing is done with a patchwork of different alignments: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jidanni/diary/392287 . |

GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation | Apparently I got over it within minutes https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/1333#issuecomment-255526907 but nobody knew, as they already had blocked me. |
|
GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation | Ah, but at least FB and IG don’t let me keep on commenting on the blockee’s issues, with the blockee anesthetized so he is not aware of it too. |

How to check for bbox USER map changes with overpass? | (I recall I removed a telephone very near https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=24.17788&mlon=120.72338#map=19/24.17788/120.72338 I still can’t figure out how to “reveal” it, despite the above discussion. The best I could reveal is ways, not points.) |

If you do F12 (Developer Tools) in your browser, and examine the headers, there is

How to check for bbox USER map changes with overpass? | Indeed, “I could have sworn I added that hardware store already last year, and now it is gone.” Or maybe I haven’t been taking my paranoia medicine lately… it would be great for a one-click way to find out the truth. OK, maybe two clicks. |
|
Bing Imagery Offset | Yes, village 1 gets mapped with offset 1, village 2 with offset 2, etc. until one day when their edges finally meet and one has to deal with the problem. P.S., here in Taiwan Bing is 10 years old. |

New feature: Easily add new maps to your menu! | Say, will sites I add propagate to all the computers I have chromium installed on? |
