Species? What does this edit summary mean?

Why are these two nodes tagged as tailors, but have the names of tattoo studios?

I also left comments on changeset (changeset/21702908) that originally added this (and 1269 other similar nodes) if there's been discussion before importing this data.

I'm a bit concerned by the edit summary of this changeset, as it states "so they can show in map", this sounds like it might be tagging for the renderer (see osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer). Is it certain that all of these are schools? If so why were they not originally added as schools?

I understand that these are polling stations, and that polling stations are often in schools. Are they always held in schools? Also why are there so many duplicate nodes with identical locations?

Oops, I see that the second edit (changeset/21877729) by thevikas provides a source of "election commission of india - public data". So it was an import. As such I'd like more information about any discussion that took place before the import was done. More info about the source would be great too.

Where did this data come from? It appears to be an import. Was it discussed prior to importing? If so please provide a link to the discussion.

Thank you for any information that can be provided.

This seems to be a common pattern, especially in India. The older route takes a more roundabout route, as roads get upgraded a bigger bridge, with more direct routing is built.

I'd say that anytime the the main road takes a detour at a side valley, and a minor road takes the direct route, it's worth looking more closely at if they are correctly classified.

This edit is an improvement over the previous lack of waterways.

This changeset changes the name of Tangmarg to "Tangmarg, Jammu&Kashmir". I am changing the name back, as it is incorrect to include the state name in a village's name.

I forgot to add GPS to the source. There are plenty GPS tracks on the main highway, and I used these to confirm tile alignment.

Once again I forgot to update the source field in JOSM. The imagery used was *BC Mosaic* not Bing. I pretty much always use BC Mosaic for the area it covers, only occasional comparing it with Bing, as the Bing imagery seems to be more up to date.

Sorry if my last comment seemed a bit curt. I'm sure the edit was benificial, I'm happy to get speed limits and turn restrictions added.

Accidentally dragging and dropping a node is an easy thing to do. I've looked into the edit history of the node, and it seems like it'd already been added back at the correct location, so I just deleted the one in the incorrect location.

I don't think you need to do anything now, but if you want to double check my work I did it with this changeset: changeset/44229455

This edit has moved a Mobi bike station to the middle of False Creek. I don't have time to figure out what happened, and fix it at the moment. Is there any chance someone else could?

Thanks for this edit, Quetron. I was just looking at the dirt jumps on the map, having realized that I'd made the area too large, and found that you'd already fixed it. :-)

It is helpful to other people if you give more information in the edit summary then just saying "mapping". Please do so.

Oops. I forgot to update the source field in JOSM, this was done with BC Mosaic imagery.

I was hesitant to make this edit, as there has been construction in the area since the Bing imagery was taken. In the end I decided to make the edit, as previous edit summaries did not mention any info source other than the Bing imagery.

Hi wentworth4, thanks for your edits. From what I've seen they are good.

Also, I was wondering if you'd be willing to leave more meaningful edit summaries. For example "adding address". Or "retagging bus_stop as bus_station" which is, as best as I can figure, what this edit did.

I think it'd be helpful if you used more informative edit summaries.

I forgot to update the source field in JOSM. I did not use Bing imagery here, as it is useless for this area. I used Mapbox. It is far better quality for this area.

对不起，我不会说中国话

This edit seems to have some errors. 阳关中路 was duplicated, and a new road was added on top of the old road, with a name tag, instead of the name being added to original road. Also the name=* tag should contain Chinese, not "Chinese (and English)".
