Re: [OSM-talk-be] Wrong tagging of name bicycle_rental

Yes, this is clearly a mistake caused by careless bulk imports or someone blindly copying information directly from the Villo! website because the text strings match. When we see names such as "Station n° 312 CENTRE CULTUREL / CULTUREEL CENTRUM - BD DU SOUVERAIN FACE 282 / VORSTLAAN VOOR 282"

The idea is interesting. Wikipedia uses a similar process: edits by anonymous or new users are flagged as potentially suspicious, and users can validate contributions by other users. I understand Karel’s concern: perhaps that there isn’t much *vandalism* in OSM in Belgium so far. But the

Re: [OSM-talk-be] old notes: sometimes useful

Good job, Joost! We can solve that kind of issue by creating a node with "shop=vacant". That way, we can close the note once and for all. Moreover, this "vacant" tag is useful when a shop closes down because that way we can keep the node—and preserve the history—instead of removing it. Cheers.

Hi, The way I understand this warning is that a two-way highway with an odd number of lanes (in this case 3) should get "lanes:forward=2" and "lanes:backward=1" to make the count. This is not linked with the "turn:lanes" key, despite the number of lanes should obviously match. Have a great
