Re: [OSM-talk] Multipolygon tags removed

2010-01-01 Thread Andrzej Zaborowski
2010/1/1 Katie Filbert filbe...@gmail.com:
 I recently added some buildings to OSM that have courtyards, thus added a
 multipolygon relation to them.  I notice now that some of these buildings
 are not rendering on OSM.  Looking at the history, Ropino removed the
 multipolygon tag from the relation on December 8.

 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/338011/history

 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/357268/history

 Did I do something wrong with tagging buildings how I did?  I think I tagged
 them correctly and undid these two.

 I want to understand what (and why) Ropino is doing?  Are these mistakes on
 his/her end, in deleting the tags, and if so, do we have the ability to
 revert the changeset?

This is likely because the members of these two multipolygons didn't
have roles assigned in the relation and instead had tags role=inner
and role=outer -- may that be the editor's fault?  That said I believe
Ropino's removal of the tag is vandalism either way.

Cheers

Your version was ok. (The role is optional and meant to make things 
easier for human editors.)

Ropino has made a mistake. His changeset comment translates to *added* 
multipolygon but in fact he removed the type=multipolygon tag, so I 
assume that he intended no harm but somehow the script he was using has 
malfunctioned. (If he was using a script - the last time people 
complained to him about bot edits it turned out that he did these manually.)

I'll write to him and inquire, and help him fix the problem if he needs 
help.

Bye
Frederik

Having role=inner as the tag seemed to work, though I see that what I did
was not really correct.  I see how it's been changed to put this on the
relation itself.  (assume you or someone changed it - thanks!)

To help people understand how to do this with Potlatch, I posted an example
on the wiki.  (please improve or correct if I said anything wrong there)

I think it might have been okay, but I didn't tag it in the best way.

Thanks.  I assumed it was a script and there is some bug that caused these
edits.
