Re: [OSM-talk] many images in wiki gone missing?

Wikimedia sites are not fully down. The attack has been ongoing for a few hours. My impression from what I'm seeing people write is that the interruptions are experienced most strongly by end users in Europe. Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine ) On Fri, Sep 6, 2019 at 9:10 PM

Thanks for sharing the idea of reporting problems like graffiti using coordinates. For some reason this idea never crossed my mind until I read your email. This would have been useful for me on one occasion in particular when I was trying to describe the location of graffiti in a public park. I

Re: [Talk-us] State Open Data

I'm interested in this subject. An issue is that the copyright might be owned by the government entity that created it, even if the records are open for the public. If something is public record in California, does that also mean that it's not copyrighted by the government entity that created it?

I think you misunderstood my purpose. I was not contacting OSM to complain about illegal signs. I was responding to the original poster and urging caution about relying on signs. At least in my jurisdiction, official databases seem to me to be more reliable than signage regarding property rights.

Re: [OSM-talk] [Tagging] Hunting area tagging

Just a comment that I'd be wary of "No hunting", "Hunting allowed", or "Private property", or other signs on the ground that can actually be placed by anyone, whether or not they are legal. A problem that I've encountered more than once is a private property owner putting out what appeared to me

With a budget of about $75 million [1], productions like this certainly have the resources to get the credits and licensing right, so there is no excuse for being sloppy. Does the OSM Foundation have lawyers or communications staff who would be in a good position to address this issue with the

Re: [Talk-us] [OSM-talk] Building a free/open reviews community w/ OSM support

Speaking as an OSM novice but an experienced Wikimedian, having Wikidata ID tags makes sense to me. This sounds like something that could benefit Wikidata, Wikipedia, and other projects that recognize Wikidata IDs. There might be no need to have multiple external ID tags in OSM if the Wikidata tag
