האם שקלת לתקן את מיפוי של node/14332157201 במקום למחוק?
למשל, לעדכן את node/1761154298

You are right.
Moreover "מלכודת נמרים" should not have been the name in the first place. It is a description.
Both errors were fixed in changeset/190884023

Hello UNGSC - Dimitrios,

Please consider adding "access=private" tags to the gates leading into the UNDOF camps instead of tagging all the roads and paths in them with "access=private".

Other than reducing the mapping effort, in my opinion, the proposed approach is probably more representative of the truth on the ground. Most probably, the access restriction is enforced at the gates while within the camps themselves there are few or no access restrictions.

Best regards,
zstadler

Hello,

In this edit you have replaces the tags of
way/257325757
from highway=footway + indoor=yes
from highway=corridor + indoor=yes while other ways, such as way/1552543818, were added using highway=footway + indoor=yes

This change looks like a degradation in the value of the mapping. Please see highway=corridor :

*Rendering*
Very few renderers render corridors. One that does is OSMAnd, which internally converts highway=corridor to highway=footway + tunnel=yes.

*Comparison*
As of 2026-02, there are 79222 highway=footway + indoor=yes , more numerous than the 70010 highway=corridor instances. Close to 80% highway=corridor also have indoor=yes added, with overlapping meaning. For other highway=* features, indoor=yes has been used on 37721 highway=steps , 7952highway=elevator , and 2825 highway=service roads.

In contrast to highway=footway, highway=corridor seems to be ignored by some routing engines (as of 2025-08, at least GraphHopper and OSRM ignore it, while Valhalla seems to understand it), leading to problems if corridors are meant to have connecting function through a building.

I stopped following https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/topic/146011
I trust you and the other community members to do what's right

Correction:
For example "demolished:building=yes".

Hello xx,

Please note that the building=demolished tag is deprecated.

Please add a "demolished" prefix to the existing building tag. For example "building=yes".

Probably because there was a survey point at the time...

Hello xx,

If you are using privately acquired imagery or publicly available imagery, please make sure that the the terms of use allow its use as a source for OSM.

See osm.wiki/Vertical_Aerial_Photographs for details.

@xx yyy19,
Please note that there is a long discussion on "Changes because of the war" at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/changes-because-of-the-war/132362
with referenced to your changesets and the changeset discussions at changeset/185701260 and changeset/186545749

P.S., the name:en tag is for English names. Please do not use it for Hebrew names.

Hello Map_Moderator,

Thank you for your contribution to OSM.

The changeset/184430799#c1643111 comment applies here too:
- This path exists on the ground, as can be also seen in https://www.govmap.gov.il/?b=1&pr=4326&c=35.315332,31.357844&z=12
- Not having trail marks is not a justification for OSM deletion.

Please respect other mappers contribution, as you would like others to respect your contribution.

Hello Map_Moderator,

Thank yo for your contributions to OSM.

In this edit you have changed the name of way/433088292

I have not seen a Hebrew name for this intermittent stream in all maps I have access to. What is the source of this name change? Have you assigned the name based on עין חנדק (node/4319817216)? OSM mappers are not expected to invent names and put them on the map.

Note that the previous name Wadi Yusuf - ואדי יוסף does appear in a British map from 1940's:

Hello Map_Moderator,

Thank you for your contributions to OSM.

Please be careful when changing or deleting other mapper's work.

I have used this path, and so have many hikers, as can be seen in the GPS traces uploaded to OSM.

The fact that the path is not marked can only serve as a reason to avoid tagging it as such. It does not justify deleting it from OSM.

As a side note, unrelated to the OSM criteria on mapping, the "official" map for marked trails (מפו סימון שבילים) clearly show unmarked trails and roads in Israeli Nature Reserves. The Israeli Nature and Parks Authority (רשות הטבע והגנים) is a member of the ITC (הועדה לשבילי ישראל) that produces these maps.

I don't remember that gate either.

Yes. If a gate exists "on the ground", it can be mapped. If there are no restrictions on passage, then the tagging would reflect that.

As to the "is it worthwhile mapping?" question, I believe it is up to the mapper. In the same line of thought, one may question the need to map barrier=cattle_grid. IMO, this could serve as an orientation mark, just like an information=guidepost.

BTW, it would be more appropriate to bring topic in a discussion forum rather than here.
1. Other people may have different opinions.
2. It is not related to the correctness of this edit.

Hello @counter123boat,

Welcome to OSM!

Historic data remains in OSM DB. It can be easily extracted using Overpass. See osm.wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_QL#Date

Also please see osm.wiki/Nonexistent_features.

186462177

Do you suggest that mapping the area of the "place=village" is meaningless? Why?

P.S., I do not see good coverage of the Daliat el Karmel village with landuse=residential objects.
