 Dear Phillipe,

 I've been living in Zaragoza (Aragón, Spain) for 27 years. Please,
 don't tell I don't know what a Comarca is.

 I think Pepe has been pretty clear telling us the laws regarding this
 issue:

 *"Oficialmente, insisto, oficialmente la Ley de Bases de Regimen Local,
 es la que especifica la division territorial y administrativa de este país.
 Y es clara en su articulado en lo que a limites se refiere: Pais, Comunidad
 Autónoma y Ciudades Autónomas, Provincia, Municipio y Entidad Local Menor a
 municipio (las conocidas como Juntas Administativas Locales, Pedanias,
 Poblados, e incluso Parroquias o anteiglesias) el resto no son más que
 divisiones de gestión de diferentes organos generalmente para optimizar sus
 medios y servicios y no pueden estar en estos niveles pues legalmente no
 existen."*

 I'm not sure if we're just overthinking or feeding a troll.

 Best regards,
 Yonseca.

These evidences above (including the names of documents, their dates, and
assertable links that any one can see easily) were already made before, but
you did not care about reading them. Think twice before accusing someone of
"trolling".

So I supposed you just lived in Aragon *before* February 2006 and have not
seen what happened there after you left. Or you are not jut interested
yourself by this subject which others consider useful and are legitimate in
OSM (and if you still don't trust what was put in OSM, you can compare with
the published open data of these administrations).

An official comarcalization occured also in Galicia, but Catalunya was the
first to make it official at regional level.
The juntas of provinces have still not understood that, they contiunue to
use their own touristic comarcas, or may maintain them only as statistical
units for reasons of continuity over a period long enough to be able to
report analyze the evolutions. But provinces have no statistics intitutes.
Aragon has its own official statistics institute (IEAST, whose website is
for now the same as the Gobernatio).

The Spanish State government is also late on this in its ministerios and
othert state agencies (but the state government make that for other
planning purposes, not to rule what and how comarcas are regionally
organized, because it is not the competence of these adminsitrations, they
have no power to create or change them officially and give them a judicial
identity or any form of autonomy; only the Spanish parliament *may*
eventually do that, but it won't be consititutionally able to legiferate on
domains whose competence were transfered to the autonomous communities,
without negociating with their respective governments).

The question is not if those comarcas should exist or not. Of course they
should be there. It's only a problem for defining a tagging system, and
using it coherently (something that is incoherent today, but there's no
alternative documentation: someone must do the hard job of first sorting
things to avoid incoherences, then apply the tags, that this list may
discuss, but has to document somewhere without just placing an informal
link to the Spanish Wikipedia article where nothing is coherent or well
defined as the topic is clearly still not understood by most Spaniards that
have contributed to it; the situation is even worse in Wikimedia Commons
with lot of incohrent and undated "maps" and that was then transfered as is
from Commons to Wikidata which also includes various incoherent
categorization from ES.WP where all is mixed, including historical units
that certainly have their place in Wikipedia but not in OSM which should
*first* reflect what is in current use today).

The " Instituto Aragonés de Estadística (IAEST) - Territorio y transportes"
explicitly says:

[quote]
La comarca es una entidad local territorial, con personalidad jurídica
propia, que goza de capacidad y autonomía para el cumplimiento de sus
fines, y con competencias propias.

Se muestra la relación de municipios que conforman cada una de las
comarcas/delimitaciones comarcales de Aragón. Para cada comarca se incluye
su código, denominación, los municipios que la componen (código municipal y
denominación del municipio), nombre de la provincia y código de provincia.
También se hace referencia de las leyes de creación de cada una de las
comarcas.

Las modificaciones que se produzcan se incorporarán a la base de datos una
vez que sean oficiales. La información se muestra de forma conjunta para
todo Aragón y también por comarcas para facilitar el acceso al usuario.

Tabla de informes de comarcas
Estadística local: ámbito comarcal y municipal
[/quote]

These are not just statistical units, they have a juridical identity and
their autonomy, they are officially encoded by IAEST (with the same numbers
as those used in the Aragonese law of comarcalization).

You've not lived in Aragon for long enough or was not aware of that fact
when you lived there (or did not care about it at that time).

Dear Phillipe,

I've been living in Zaragoza (Aragón, Spain) for 27 years. Please, don't 
tell I don't know what a Comarca is.


I think Pepe has been pretty clear telling us the laws regarding this issue:

/"Oficialmente, insisto, oficialmente la Ley de Bases de Regimen Local, 
es la que especifica la division territorial y administrativa de este 
país. Y es clara en su articulado en lo que a limites se refiere: Pais,

Local Menor a municipio (las conocidas como Juntas Administativas 
Locales, Pedanias, Poblados, e incluso Parroquias o anteiglesias) el 
resto no son más que divisiones de gestión de diferentes organos 
generalmente para optimizar sus medios y servicios y no pueden estar en 
estos niveles pues legalmente no existen."/


I'm not sure if we're just overthinking or feeding a troll.

Best regards,
Yonseca.

That's only the situation for Spain as a whole. The situation is more 
complex because Spain has recongized the status of autonomy of its 
communities, in legal texts that include also the comarcas.
So the autonomous communities have power to create them. And this has 
been then used by them or their provinces. It has also been used by 
the Spanish government.
There are then several comarcal definitions used administratively, but 
dirrefecntly depending on the administration that defines and used them.


Calalunya was the first to take a law of comarcalisation to unify the 
comarcal delimiation, it has been followed by Galicia and Aragon. 
Comarcas are still used elsewhere but not unified, and present 
(differently) in open data sets from various administrations 
(provinces essentially for touristic development, autonomous 
communities, Spanish ministries like MAPA for the agrarian comarcas, 
and another type of comarca, forestry comarcas...)


All these definitions are created in the scope of the missions each 
administration can work on. For example provinces are competent for 
touristic and cultural development. auytonomous communities have their 
domain of competence on which the Spanish government cannot enact 
directly. As well the municipalities themselves have the power to 
organize themselves and have grouped themsevles into mancomunidades, 
more or less based (but not necessarily) on comarcas.


So comarcas (different kinds) are existing in Spain, just like 
mancomunidades, even if they are not part of the basic national law. 
They should be in OSM. But visibly even the Spanish people are 
confused about their status (and this is reflected by the way comarcas 
are described in Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Commons by their existing 
Spanish commjnity: everything is mixed. and I'm not considering the 
"natural" comarcas (which, in Wikidata should only be considered as 
"geographic regions" not as administrative comarcas of Spain), or 
"cultural/historic" comarcas that also add up to the count.


But that I did not create these two (if they were mapped in OSM, their 
boundaries would be extremely fuzzy as the historic and culural 
comarcas were based on groups of villages before thee creation of 
municipalities and the delimitation of municipal boundaries: some 
municipaltiies would have to be split to match the historic 
definitions (the cultural comarcas would also have to include some 
various enclaves that municipalities have created in surrounding 
comarcas): in OSM we could only map these cultural comarcas as 
"boundary=historic", and natural comarcas as "boundary=natural?" or 
just multipolygons with place=* but not any administrartive status (as 
long there's no Spanish adminsitration defining and using them).


Beside that, there are other kinds of areas which may be perceived by 
some as comarcas, but are not, like functional areas (in Catalunya, 
they are defined by local law and used by the Catalan authorities to 
group their official comarcas; in the Balearic islands there are 
island councils; they are not comarcas but mapped as other "political" 
entities with their own political types; elsewhere they don't seem to 
exist).


Finally to add to the complexity, there are 3 linguistic areas in 
Navarra (they were created by someone else as "poltitical" boundaries).


There are also some isolated municipalities in Spain that were mapped 
in OSM using "political" boundaries for their submunicipal divisions, 
instead of admin_levels 9/10 like the surrounding municipalities.


Another municipality in Spain had its census divisions mapped as 
"boundary=political" (with no other distinguishing tags) instead of 
"boundary=statistics". These have no distinguished names, their given 
"name=*" tag is descriptive only and are all the same (the name of the 
municipality, a description they are census division, with just a 
different number appended).

That's only the situation for Spain as a whole. The situation is more
complex because Spain has recongized the status of autonomy of its
communities, in legal texts that include also the comarcas.
So the autonomous communities have power to create them. And this has been
then used by them or their provinces. It has also been used by the Spanish
government.
There are then several comarcal definitions used administratively, but
dirrefecntly depending on the administration that defines and used them.

Calalunya was the first to take a law of comarcalisation to unify the
comarcal delimiation, it has been followed by Galicia and Aragon. Comarcas
are still used elsewhere but not unified, and present (differently) in open
data sets from various administrations (provinces essentially for touristic
development, autonomous communities, Spanish ministries like MAPA for the
agrarian comarcas, and another type of comarca, forestry comarcas...)

All these definitions are created in the scope of the missions each
administration can work on. For example provinces are competent for
touristic and cultural development. auytonomous communities have their
domain of competence on which the Spanish government cannot enact directly.
As well the municipalities themselves have the power to organize themselves
and have grouped themsevles into mancomunidades, more or less based (but
not necessarily) on comarcas.

So comarcas (different kinds) are existing in Spain, just like
mancomunidades, even if they are not part of the basic national law. They
should be in OSM. But visibly even the Spanish people are confused about
their status (and this is reflected by the way comarcas are described in
Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Commons by their existing Spanish commjnity:
everything is mixed. and I'm not considering the "natural" comarcas (which,
in Wikidata should only be considered as "geographic regions" not as
administrative comarcas of Spain), or "cultural/historic" comarcas that
also add up to the count.

But that I did not create these two (if they were mapped in OSM, their
boundaries would be extremely fuzzy as the historic and culural comarcas
were based on groups of villages before thee creation of municipalities and
the delimitation of municipal boundaries: some municipaltiies would have to
be split to match the historic definitions (the cultural comarcas would
also have to include some various enclaves that municipalities have created
in surrounding comarcas): in OSM we could only map these cultural comarcas
as "boundary=historic", and natural comarcas as "boundary=natural?" or just
multipolygons with place=* but not any administrartive status (as long
there's no Spanish adminsitration defining and using them).

Beside that, there are other kinds of areas which may be perceived by some
as comarcas, but are not, like functional areas (in Catalunya, they are
defined by local law and used by the Catalan authorities to group their
official comarcas; in the Balearic islands there are island councils; they
are not comarcas but mapped as other "political" entities with their own
political types; elsewhere they don't seem to exist).

Finally to add to the complexity, there are 3 linguistic areas in Navarra
(they were created by someone else as "poltitical" boundaries).

There are also some isolated municipalities in Spain that were mapped in
OSM using "political" boundaries for their submunicipal divisions, instead
of admin_levels 9/10 like the surrounding municipalities.

Another municipality in Spain had its census divisions mapped as
"boundary=political" (with no other distinguishing tags) instead of
"boundary=statistics". These have no distinguished names, their given
"name=*" tag is descriptive only and are all the same (the name of the
municipality, a description they are census division, with just a different
number appended).

Sorry, but this is not my mess ! Consider all this. Really various users
have attempted to map differnt things for different needs (they are
legitimate), but they were not discussed as well, not documented. The OSM
wiki itself does not document anything about comarcas because it only links
to a fuzzy general article on Wikipedia for comarcas. So various users have
used this mere assumption in the OSM wiki as valid. But the single OSM wiki
page that links comarcas at admin_level 7 is in row of a table describing
the divisions of Spain: that row contains also an indication that this is
"proposed".

Admin levels in Spain (and other boundary types: political, health,
judiciary, mancomunidades, statistics, and even submunicipal divisions)
have never been seriously discussed and documented. That's something you
must work on. The needs are demonstrated, there's clearly more than just
CCAA, provinces and municipalities and there are serious open data sets
from multiple official administrative sources in Spain that define and use
them. All what is missing,is to agree on which tags to use to distinguish
them and clarify

Esto es increible. ¿Como es posible que andemos todavia dandole vueltas a
este asunto?.

En otros lugares no tengo ni idea pues bastante tenemos con aclararnos en
la diversidad de las 17 España.

Oficialmente, insisto, oficialmente la Ley de Bases de Regimen Local, es la
que especifica la division territorial y administrativa de este país. Y es
clara en su articulado en lo que a limites se refiere: Pais, Comunidad
Autónoma y Ciudades Autónomas, Provincia, Municipio y Entidad Local Menor a
municipio (las conocidas como Juntas Administativas Locales, Pedanias,
Poblados, e incluso Parroquias o anteiglesias) el resto no son más que
divisiones de gestión de diferentes organos generalmente para optimizar sus
medios y servicios y no pueden estar en estos niveles pues legalmente no
existen. Otra cosa es que DECIDAMOS en algunos casos representar esos
limites de gestión, pero que en mi modesto entender, habria que establecer
otros parametros diferentes a los de limites territoriales pues no lo son.

En otro orden de cosas, estan los enclaves, el más conocido el de Treviño,
pero que solo en la provincia de Burgos puede haber una docena y en
particular con las vecinas Palencia y Cantabria. Se podrian definir como
"islas" de un territorio provincial dentro de otra provincia y por tanto
afecta también a las comunidades autónomas a las que pertenecen. El caso
más afamado es el de Treviño, como ya se ha dicho, pero justo al lado
tenemos un caso similar en extensión y caracteristicas y que ademas afecta
a tres provincias y a tres CCAA, es el municipio de Miranda de Ebro, del
que no se habla pero es aun si cabe mas singular.

En cuanto a las comarcas la legislación vigente es la que corresponde a
cada CCAA y por tanto no existe un criterio generalizado. NO SE PUEDE
CONFUNDIR COMARCA COMO ENTE SINGULAR ADMUNISTRATIVO Y TERRITORIAL (La
Bañeza por ejemplo) con otras agrupaciones territoriales que no tienen ese
estatus aunque se denominen comarcas agrarias, comarca natural, comarca
industrial y que serian instancias similares a un Partido Judicial o un
Arciprestazgo, division administrativa similar a la comarca de ambito
religioso por lo tanto privado y que si tiene una representacion continua
en todo el territorio, PERO NO SON COMARCAS. Otro ejemplo son las
confederaciones hidrográficas, tambien tienen demarcación territorial,
incluso coincidente en algun caso con una comarca (valle del Jerte) pero NO
SON COMARCAS.

Si se ha de representar cualquiera de estas cosas deberia hacerse como he
dicho con nuevas etiquetas diferenciadas y POR CONSENSO todo lo demas
deberia, a mi juicio, REVERTIRSE.
Si ademas se actua de forma unulateral y sin la aprobscion o los criterios
de cada territorio se deberia actuar como en casos similares de ediciones
fuera de las normas.

Esa es mi opinión, salvo caso de otra mejor fundada y fundamentada en mas
de 30 años de experiencia en este mundo de propiedades, territorio y
mojones.

Clamos ! I'm not alone to have created such mixed and unqualified things at
admin_level 7, because the OSM documentation wiki was not clear at all.
They were spread by multiple users (not just me) that created them over
time without consiudering this was an issue and without asking here.

It's not the fact they they do not exist, but they are ambiguously tagged
and largely incomplete (when in fact they come from administrative sources
that are complete in their relevant area of coverage). In OSM this was
largely an unfinished subset of data that has never been usable for any
purpose.

I do not impose the tagging, I just created one that hoped to be coherent
by itself and tried to sort the mess. But it remains unfinished. This is
still a "work in progress"... And I used the correct sources or what
appeared to be the existing consensus (anyway Spanish users do not seem to
have properly sortted things as well in Wikipedia, Commons and Wikidata).
Someboday must start "doing the hard job" and find these incoherences. That
was me, and of course I'm exposed to critics, but not opposed to changes
and better suggestions, and I'm very open to them. If I make errors I can
and will fix them.

It's a fact that even if these comarcas are not officialized by the
autonomous communities, they are officialized by a Spanish administration
(provinces, ministries, state agencies) for their domain of use, so they
exist (even in their own open data sets) and they are expected to be
present in OSM (otherwise other Spanish users wouldn't have created some of
them, but left the situation unfinished and incoherent, so they were still
not usable). Those administrations unfortunately designate them as
"comarca", but if you read their sources correctly, the term "comarca" is
not used alone and is qualified.

Sorry but let me be clear about this situation:
Please STOP editing boundaries in Spain until Spanish community has
consensus in this topic. Spanish community is very upset with that. More
than 10 people are constantly reviewing your editions. Your editions in
that topic in this moment are not welcomed.
It is clear now Spanish Community of OSM has to do a review of our
boundaries. If we go to
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/boundary#values we can see more than
10 possible types of boundaries we can investigate and edit.
And we miss some custom boundaries we have in some regions as "vegueries"
or "comarcas (agrarias) "agricultural counties" so we have to talk about it
in peace, WITHOUT EDITIONS, make an agreement and apply  and map it.
Then your help will be very welcomed. You are not from Spain,you are not
living in Spain and you don't know Spain better than Spaniards.
I would not go to France to edit the départements.

Thanks for your understanding

But it's still not a "comarca" under the meaning intended by other comarcas
in the two autonomous communities involved.

All those existing boundaries at admin_level 7 were added without any prior
consensus of tagging. In fact there's no tagging at all documented for
them. the Wiki OSM just indicates "comarca" is at level 7, but this was an
informal proposal, never discussed, and the link goes to Wikipedia where
they are also not documented and sorted properly (this also applies to
Wikidata where the classification is still not made as well, and commons
where maps and categories are all mixed with ambiguous names). Seriously,
this is not consistant "data" in the OSM meaning.

There's a need to start creating something consistant (this does not mean
removing what was made, just retagging properly and avoid conflicts of
interpretation). And there, nothing is documented. We must still start by
the "hard way" trying to disambiguate things to get at least one consistant
view and then retag the rest with temporary tags that can be rediscussed to
get more views.

OSM is all about that: someone starts the hard job to separate the
concepts, fill holes, find overlaps; this requires much efforts to prepare
the field (what I'm doing, while avoiding to create too much conflicts).
Then there's a cleanup and maintenance step that occurs until the existing
schema is found to be insufficient.

Because of these inconsistancies the admin_level 7 was found to be unusable
and unused in OSM for Spain. So much opendata about these comarcas still
cannot be imported and checked. Being coherent is a great thing as it
really helps integrating more items and developing new methods to be more
precise and solve ambiguities, and develop new usages of OSM data for
derived cartography (notably statistical maps, related to many other open
data or private data, with enough granularity that people can understand;
but with just communities, provinces and municipalities, this is
insufficient: there are hundreds of municipalities in provinces or
autonomous communities and no way to use significant grouping that matches
verifiable sources; so each one has to recreate its own comarcal
delimitation, frequently with errors/omissions/overlaps or different
meanings, and the statistics map and aggregated data are not comparable
with each other).


> No se a que llamas mapa en mayusculas "MAPA"

MAPA was refereing to the *correct* and common Spanish abbreviation for the
full name of the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food
("Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación") and I thought it was
implicit and wellknown to native Spanish users (like you?)

It's not the Spanish equivalent of "map" in English. The capitals were
correct in that case and really intended (and it would be a non-sense to
cite an unspecified anbd generic "mapa" as a source. The *lowercase* would
have been obviously wrong in the context I gave. And the sources in OSM
indicate the full Spanish name of the ministry, not this abbreviation I
used only in this talk thread.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:boundary
Pone que los enclaves se hace en la misma relación y solucionado. No pone
que se tengan que crear nuevas relaciones, subrelaciones y cosas parecidas.

¿Qué el "Enclave de Treviño" puede que se tenga que etiquetar de otra
manera? Puede ser, ante la duda habra que hablarlo, pero eso no da razón
para inventarse nombres y cosas nuevas si no existen.
"Enclave de Treviño" Tiene representación especial dentro de España por
algunos conflictos que han existido que no comparten otras zonas. Se puede
ver en qué tiene pagina especial en la wikipedia por ejemplo. Habra que ver
cómo poner este caso especial.

Por favor deja de editar fronteras hasta que se llegue a un consenso.
Estamos abiertos a escuchar sugerencias y ver cómo solucionar los
diferentes problemas que surgen en las diferentes zonas de España. Pero no
llegar e imponer criterios.

No se a que llamas mapa en mayusculas "MAPA"

Hola, Philippe.

Por consiguiente, estas comarcas que estás mapeando no son del tipo
administrativo, ya que no se emplean para la zonificación administrativa
oficial del territorio que en España está dividida en comunidades
autónomas, provincias y municipios (y comarcas sólo en aquellos lugares
donde la legislación autonómica así lo ha definido).
Tampoco son "boundary=political", ya que no son demarcaciones electorales.

Estos límites comarcales "temáticos" deberán ser mapeados empleando una
etiqueta boundary nueva, según lo que se decida en el hilo "Unidades
Administrativas - Castilla y León [debate]" que ha abierto Crashillo.

Un cordial saludo,

Note also that "political" boundaries are used in Spain for linguistic
areas, not just electoral constituencies.

There should be a subtag for the political=* type to distinguish them (and
there are multiple consituency types depending on the kind of elections,
including European elections for European deputies elected for Spain).

I just challenge here the fact that every concept is mixed, and there are
already collisions on the same classification tags for different things.
This does not allow easy searches and clear results (e.g. to create
statistical maps without doubly-counted overlaps).

So first we must solve these collisions, find holes that should be filled
for completeness (needed for statistics), and then apply consistent tagging
(which can be decided, for now it's not even documented anywhere, there are
just different assumptions by different users: it's a mess to find the
existing items in OSM and get consistant results).

The enclaves de Miranda de Ebro are related to another one, for Treviño in the 
same area that was also mapped and overlapped the same level 7 as the comarca 
de Ebro (containing that enclave).
But these enclaves de Mirando de Ebro are enclaved by another province than 
those for Treviño. I did not make them "comarcas", it may have just been while 
looking for holes or overlaps.

I've seen a few comarcas that forgot enclaves of their municipalities or 
included enclaves of other municipalities not member of the comarca.

The object named "Enclaves burgueses de Miranda de Ebro" is more or less 
descriptive, just like the name given to "Enclave de Treviño", they are 
documented with similar but varying names in historical documents as such 
"enclaves", but not administrative today by themselves as they have no form of 
autonomy. This was not made as a "comarca" at all. If you don't like it, no 
problem for removing it (but then what is "Enclave de Treviño" ?

There's a mix and confusion between what are "comarcas" in Spain. It's a 
generic term just like "geographic region" used for various things grouping, 
not necessarily endorsed by an existing public collectivity (municipalities, 
provinces, autonomous communities, and the state).

And someone says that I did not reply to questions sent on this list. I've seen 
comments, but the real questions were actually written by me. I proposed to 
sort these. And create a correct tagging that avoids the confusions between the 
comarcal types. I did not say we should remove these and visibly existing users 
have different needs.

The agrarian comarcas are documented by MAPA, even published on their opendata 
and visible on their online map, throughout Spain. They have some 
administrative status for managing agriculture founding and the Spanish and 
European planification. They have documented names, and do not necessarily 
follow the regional and/or provincial delimitations or the historical and 
"natural"/traditional delimitations

The delimitations of historical and "natural" comarcas have also borders that 
are in fact very fuzzy if defined with borders of today's municipalities, when 
they were groups of villages whose delimitations have changed locally before 
they were organized as municipalities, and sometimes merged into the same town 
or city. It's just like trying to map mountain chains: this cannot be based on 
today's administrative borders (e.g. the Pyrenees or the Andes cordillera).

In OSM there are some fuzzy objects types like bays, that use quite precise 
coastlines but fuzzy strokes across the see and no clear point of intersection 
between these strokes and the coastlines. They are "natural" objects for 
geographic regions, bot "boundaries". May be this should apply to natural 
comarcas whose /exact/ borders are in fact not so exact and vary across authors 
(and they just agree about which historical urbanized settlements should be 
inside, but not really for how for of the surrounding rural area they should 
enclose. There may be some natural artefacts like rivers or cliffs, but rivers 
also have changed over history, cliffs are not easy to delineate and were also

for some limited purposes (such as statistical continuity for about 10 years, 
or preservation of existing contracts, and for the legal delay of judiciary 
procedures or adaptation of the rest of the legislation, needed after a recent 
legal change: these preservation is very useful for having precise statistical 
reports and maps).

The enclaves de Miranda de Ebro are related to another one, for Treviño in
the same area that was also mapped and overlapped the same level 7 as the
comarca de Ebro (containing that enclave).
But these enclaves de Mirando de Ebro are enclaved by another province than
those for Treviño. I did not make them "comarcas", it may have just been
while looking for holes or overlaps.

I've seen a few comarcas that forgot enclaves of their municipalities or
included enclaves of other municipalities not member of the comarca.

The object named "Enclaves burgueses de Miranda de Ebro" is more or less
descriptive, just like the name given to "Enclave de Treviño", they are
documented with similar but varying names in historical documents as such
"enclaves", but not administrative today by themselves as they have no form
of autonomy. This was not made as a "comarca" at all. If you don't like it,
no problem for removing it (but then what is "Enclave de Treviño" ?

There's a mix and confusion between what are "comarcas" in Spain. It's a
generic term just like "geographic region" used for various things
grouping, not necessarily endorsed by an existing public collectivity
(municipalities, provinces, autonomous communities, and the state).

And someone says that I did not reply to questions sent on this list. I've
seen comments, but the real questions were actually written by me. I
proposed to sort these. And create a correct tagging that avoids the
confusions between the comarcal types. I did not say we should remove these
and visibly existing users have different needs.

The agrarian comarcas are documented by MAPA, even published on their
opendata and visible on their online map, throughout Spain. They have some
administrative status for managing agriculture founding and the Spanish and
European planification. They have documented names, and do not necessarily
follow the regional and/or provincial delimitations or the historical and
"natural"/traditional delimitations

The delimitations of historical and "natural" comarcas have also borders
that are in fact very fuzzy if defined with borders of today's
municipalities, when they were groups of villages whose delimitations have
changed locally before they were organized as municipalities, and sometimes
merged into the same town or city. It's just like trying to map mountain
chains: this cannot be based on today's administrative borders (e.g. the
Pyrenees or the Andes cordillera).

In OSM there are some fuzzy objects types like bays, that use quite precise
coastlines but fuzzy strokes across the see and no clear point of
intersection between these strokes and the coastlines. They are "natural"
objects for geographic regions, bot "boundaries". May be this should apply
to natural comarcas whose /exact/ borders are in fact not so exact and vary
across authors (and they just agree about which historical urbanized
settlements should be inside, but not really for how for of the surrounding

Dialogar con la comunidad no es soltar qué ha escrito aquí, decir que todo

No creo que se le este pidiendo nada especial. Es una cosa esencial en una
sociedad civilizada, hablar las cosas. Si no quieres hablar y solucionarlo
solo nos queda volver a pedir que actúen desde arriba.

Yo creo que si no hay ley que las regule, que legalmente no existen pero sí
con otros motivos históricos, agrarios, Deberíamos decidir por cuál de
esos motivos es el más adecuado etiquetarlos y poner un etiquetado
diferente. No podemos tener igual las fronteras oficiales que unas
fronteras históricas que no existen realmente. Eso sí en todos los casos
fronteras documentadas correctamente.

Agradecería la opinión del resto, pero sobre todo de Philippe Verdy antes

creado dos áreas con boundary=political en la provincia de Burgos, una en el 
condado de Treviño y otra agrupando otros dos enclaves que ha denominado

para circunscripciones electorales y cosas así, ¿me equivoco? ¿Tiene sentido 
crear entes específicos para los enclaves con ella?

Además, ha seguido creando comarcas agrarias (ahora en Palencia) sin esperar a 
que se decida en común lo que se quiere hacer con las comarcas en esta 
comunidad autónoma (invito a otros usuarios castellanoleoneses a participar y a 
todo el que quiera opinar). Cabe la posibilidad de que haya que borrar todas, 
pues la única oficial sigue siendo El Bierzo, así que es posible que esté 
perdiendo su tiempo y nos lo haga perder posteriormente si tenemos que borrar 
todo.

Un saludo

 Buenas tardes, Philippe.

Para que no estemos dando vueltas en círculo, voy a dejarlo claro: ahora
veo que los límites administrativos son una combinación de adminlevel y
boundary. Visto así, efectivamente, estoy equivocado y no se han duplicado
las comarcas. Sin embargo, lo que ha hecho usted es inventarse un límite
nuevo, no sé qué es peor.

"I agree with that and I have not challanged that. It was additional
independant objects (for reference purpose only and useful for contruction
purpose and verification)."

Por favor, deme un solo ejemplo de proceso de referencia, construcción o
verificación en que sea necesario el etiquetado que usted está tratando de
imponernos, fraccionando las comarcas en objetos independientes. Etiquetado
que, por otro lado, no está documentado en ninguna parte, es una mera
invención suya. Dígame en cuál de esas leyes que ha estudiado aparece "Hoya
de Huesca (Zaragoza)". No es algo que exista ni sobre el terreno, ni como
construcción artificial de datos que se necesite.

"But if you can't understand that (at least when a complete and coherent
set of relations is built, we need additional intermediate objects (like
these few "fraction" subnelations, whose name is not important and will be
invisible, except in OSM editors) and sort and organize the long lists of
municipalities to avoid forgetting one..."

Lo entiendo perfectamente, y vuelvo a decir que los objetos fraccionarios
que usted propone son innecesarios, solo contribuyen a que todo sea más
complicado. Más arriba menciona que siguió las convenciones antes de
editar: mire, no se lo niego. Tenemos la documentación muy poco
desarrollada, comparada con otros países. Pero tengo claro que no siguió
dichas convenciones después: ¿porqué no paró cuando vió que varios editores
españoles le expresaron su disgusto con lo que usted estaba haciendo?

Conozco de sobra la situación de los límites en Aragón. Salvo las comarcas
de Huesca y algunas de Zaragoza y Teruel, el resto de comarcas no están
incluídas, y los municipios no están bien, fruto de ediciones precipitadas
al principio, y de poco cuidado después. Se habrá encontrado de todo:
fronteras rotas, etc. Y si me hubiera preguntado antes, se lo habría
contado encantado. No se imagina cómo le hubiera agradecido que viniera a
echarnos una mano limpiando municipios o completando comarcas, de verdad.
Pero ya le digo que así, no.

Escuche: le estuvimos diciendo clara y unánimemente desde la comunidad
española que no fraccione las comarcas, y usted insistió en ello y en
justificar sus acciones, sin aportar ningún argumento que convenza. Le
estuvimos diciendo también que no edite límites sin debate previo y sin
enfrentar ideas con la comunidad local de esa autonomía, y estuvo haciendo
oídos sordos y dando excusas. A pesar de todo ello no ha parado de editar
hasta que le han baneado dos veces, que es cuando realmente se ha puesto en
contacto con nosotros. Y con todo ello, todavía no le hemos visto ni una
sola vez pedir disculpas o admitir que se ha equivocado, aunque solo sea
por cortesía.



En fin, un saludo,
Diego

Estimado Philippe.

Mi caso es casi el opuesto al suyo. No hablo ni escribo en inglés, pero por
motivos laborales no me queda otro remedio que entenderlo, aunque un poco
deficientemente. Si para evitar errores en la traducción debemos utilizar
ambos idiomas, tendrá que ser así.

Lo primero que me gustaría explicarle es que su actitud no se corresponde
con un editor que lleva varios años de actividad sobresaliente tanto en
cantidad como en calidad en sus ediciones. Para que me entienda, yo jamás
me pondría a editar los límites administrativos de otro país sin ponerme
antes en contacto con el grupo de editores activo en la zona. Eso es algo
que no me entra en la cabeza, por muy colaborativo que sea el proyecto. Se
trata de un tema de educación y cortesía, además de los destrozos que se
pueden hacer si no conozco suficientemente el tema. No vale decir que
intentó ponerse en contacto con nosotros: el tema que usted editaba (los
límites comarcales) no estaba tan mal ni era tan urgente editarlo como para
emprender la tarea sin decirnos algo antes.

Sobre el tema concreto de las comarcas, trataré de ser breve. Ya hace un
tiempo que la comunidad española tratamos el tema y básicamente decidimos
que cada autonomía hiciese lo que se corresponde a la realidad allí.
Resulta que aunque haya establecida por ley una división comarcal para cada
autonomía, en la práctica no se ha aplicado por igual. Del mismo modo que
en Aragón tenemos comarcas funcionales y que se corresponden (más o menos)
con la realidad histórica y geográfica, en Castilla-León no quieren ni oir
hablar del tema. Recuerdo a otro editor diciendo, por supuesto en tono
coloquial, de cortarle alguna parte del cuerpo al que se le ocurriera crear
comarcas en su autonomía. Y estamos todos de acuerdo con ello: ¿quién va a
conocer mejor una zona que aquellos que la habitan? ¿quién debe tener la
última palabra sobre cómo editar en su zona, sobre cómo está organizada,
siempre que se atenga a las normas? Lástima que este debate se produjo en
el canal de telegram: aquí doy la razón a mi compañero Miguel, si no le
estaría pasando el enlace de la lista.

"I was told by a Spanish user to map missing comarcas in Aragon and then I
was blocked for that, even if there was no "error", and there was an
ongoing talk with existing users that did not contacted me directly on OSM
but prefer to complain to the DWG."

Me va a permitir que dude que esto sea así. Si no le importa, mencione qué
usuario le invitó a mapear las comarcas de Aragón. Y no diga que este fue
el motivo de su bloqueo: su edición errónea (porque sí lo es), fue
revertida con buenas razones, que se le indicaron en el propio conjunto de
cambios. A partir de ahí usted empezó una discusión en esa misma edición
sin querer escuchar otros argumentos, y no sólo no paró de editar, sino que
además revertió de nuevo los cambios, lo que es claramente una guerra de
ediciones. Fue entonces cuando le bloquearon, no antes. Hasta este segundo
bloqueo no se ha puesto usted en contacto con nosotros... ¿Dónde está el
malentendido? No veo buena fe en su actuación.

"About the case of Avila, there are were two different kinds of comarcas in
the same province and they would have overlapped. (...)"

Sobre el caso de Ávila, usted no propuso nada. Llegó y editó, punto. Se le
llamó la atención y no hizo caso, se limitó a aplicar su criterio.

"Spain is not more complicate than France or other countries."

No, no es más complicado. De hecho, puede que sea más sencillo. Lo que sí
son es diferentes. No me diga que ha estudiado mucho para editar aquí, lo
que tenía que haber hecho es hablar con nosotros después de estudiar para
aclarar las cosas.

Respecto a su edición en Aragón, partamos de lo que es cierto e
indiscutible:

- La organización comarcal es una agrupación de municipios de una misma
autonomía, al margen de las provincias.
- Debe existir una única relación por cada comarca, con adminlevel 7.

Cumpliendo lo dicho ya existía la relación
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6479877 para definir la comarca de
la Hoya de Huesca perfectamente editada y sin errores, como hija de la
relación Aragón, e independientemente de las provincias.

Ahora llega usted y crea dos relaciones nuevas, con adminlevel 7, y se
inventa sus nombres (ya que dichos territorios no existen):
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10594434 y
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10594435

Esto es totalmente innecesario, e incumple las premisas antes expuestas. La
comarca acaba de quedar triplicada en su nivel 7 por otras dos entidades
que no existen. Por si fuera poco, utiliza etiquetas de su invención
"boundary administrative_fraction" y deja notas para justificar su visión
de las cosas. Incluso fue uno de los argumentos que utilizó para debatir
conmigo: "dejé una nota que lo dice". Que usted lo diga no es un argumento,
compréndalo.

Si se hubiera molestado en mirar el histórico de las relaciones de comarcas
en Aragón, habría visto que yo participé en todas,

Thanks for that reply. I tried to communicate twitch the only working
channel (the OSM talk list has various issues and automatically
unsubscribes many users for technical reasons, mainly issues on the
configuration of their servers: the MLM does not deliver mails to
subscribers, they are frequently bounced due to this).

I had attempted to use it several times. I used the changeset comments to
discuss that, but blocking me via the DWG (without even any contact via the
OSM personal messages or direct emails to me) is really unfair, and
precipitated. It's largely overreactive.

but my OSM block (repeated instantly without notice while I was talking)
has also the effect that it blocks all sorts of communication in OSM. I did
not want to hurt any one but try to make things consistently.

I know that comarcas are not defined nationally by law. But each region
(autonomous community) has an official status of autonomy that defines
their own divisions, which are the legacy provinces, but with now very
limited powers, and the comarcas and municipalities.

In addition municipalities can group together for some objectives of
cooperation (this is completely similar to French intercommunalities,
except that some of them are also recognized nationally and have a fiscal
autonomy and are even now required by law to be impelmetned with mandatory
missions; for optional missions, they can still cooperate openly, in open
groups mixing municipalities for their territory or part of them,
departments and regions as fund providers, or some private or semi-private
institutions like chambers of commerce or agriculture, or agencies for
managing natural parks).

I also know that despite the fact that provincial can no longer define
"comarcas" with adminsitrative status, they still promote "touristic"
comarcas, more or less linked to former traditional comarcas. As well the
state (ministries) defines its own delimitations for agriculture planning
and management of national and european funds. They should not call them
"comarcas" even if they have some limited functions (only for the relevant
missions that the state can define or plan itself, however the state has to
delegate the funds and empowering of these missions to the autonomous
communities to implement them; the provinces are a sort of legacy inherited
from the Franco period; lot of things have changed at end of the 1980's
when autonomous communities got powered).

Anyway, there's still the need to manage the transition. I've found that
not just Aragon, Galicia and Catalunya have defined comarcal delimitations,
and that other regions have also regulated this (this is part of their
autonomy status, including Asturias). Not all have decided completely their
comarcal delimiation, but Aragon has done it in a law which is easy to find.

For other regions, there's no better consistant comarcal definition than
those defined by the state, i.e. agrarian comarca, which are the first kind
of classification we can make, and which is also the one decided by the
Spanish community in Wikimedia (Wikipedia, Commons and Wikidata, however
not all is very well sorted and there are lot of works as all kinds of
comarcas are also described, documented, but not properly sorted by kind;
the variosu images and annexes present different point of views based on
one definition or another or different times). I just used what is the
currrent best classification (on which contributors find things easily, but
I do not exclude the existence of others.

But not sorting the municipalities in Spain does not help to locate them:
they have conflicting names, so they use various suffixes to disambiguate
them, and this is also complicated by the linguistic divisions (mainly: the
national official Spanish/Castillian language, plus Galician, Estremaduran,
Asturian, Basque, Catalan, and its minor Valencian and Balearic variants)
which is used in official names of municipalities (showing dual languages:
Spanish+regional, and some smaller parts with Occitan, or French in Val
d'Aran) and in some comarcas officialized by the region (this is the case
in Aragon).

Also what I did was to check the municipalities to make sure they don't
have broken holes (there's a complicate case in one of them, Xativa in the
Valencian community, is repeatedly broken as it is highly fragmented in a
"patchwork" way with many small fragments), ordering them, completing the
lists (there were some municipalities forgotten in provinces). Sorting them
allowed easier identification and was a step prior to classifying them and
making sure nothing was forgotten.

There's a case in Aragon where the law of comarcalization and end of 2006
forgets one municipality separated from Zaragoza some months before, i.e.
Villamayor de Gallego; the law lists Villanueva de Gallego only). But there
was a correction published in a later addenda by the region of Aragon in
its bulletin. I had to fix that as well by searches and verifications.

Even outside comarcas,

Estimado Philippe,

Lo primero de todo es agradecerte el esfuerzo en atender este asunto y
unirte a la discusión sobre el tema de la comarcas que se ha iniciado por
tus ediciones en diferentes comunidades autónomas de España.

Te escribo en español pues nos comentas que lo entiendes y quiero ser más
preciso que en un tercer idioma que no es ninguno de los nuestros.

El tema de la división comarcal (por comarcas) es particular en España tal
y como te comenté en en uno de tus changesets . En realidad la situación es
diferente dependiendo de cada comunidad autónoma y no ha sido hasta muy
recientemente que se ha empezado a trasladar a OpenStreetMap y solo en
aquellos casos en los que se tenía buen conocimiento del mismo. La verdad
es que deberíamos haberlo documentado más concienzudamente en la Wiki.

Desde el punto de vista general de la organización territorial en España se
pasa del Estado a la Comunidad Autónoma y de esta a provincia y después al
municipio. La construcción de las comarcas y su desarrollo normativo ha
venido de la mano de las comunidades autónomas. Aragón y Cataluña han sido
las que realizaron una división comarcal en un principio y son las que
mejor conozco.

Aunque la Wikipedia es una fuente adecuada en muchos casos, para este, en
particular, creo que puede llevar a confusión. Ya nos ha pasado con
anterioridad que para algunos aspectos las definiciones enciclopédicas de
los colegas de Wikipedia no pueden transponer al mapa. Cuidado con esto. Es
mejor que consultes con nosotros pues somos una comunidad diferente.

Tradicionalmente han existido otras divisiones comarcales ligadas,
especialmente al temas agrarios, pero estas divisiones no son comparables
ni coinciden con las divisiones comarcales que se han desarrollado o se
están desarrollando dentro de casa comunidad autónoma.

En fin, es complicado y creo que no es comparable con la situación con
otros paises como Francia.

El que unilateralmente iniciaras algunas ediciones y no atendieras a los
criterios de los colaboradores locales ha desatado el malestar de la
comunidad y esto ha llevado a que la WDG terminara bloqueándote. Espero que
puedas entenderlo.

Te animo a leer lo que se ha escrito y recopilado sobre tus ediciones y la
polémica que has suscitado en esta misma lista de correos y espero que este
malentendido podamos solucionarlo con una mejora sustancial de la calidad
de nuestro mapa.

Sigue y lee este hilo:

Hello, I'd like to follow up on the discussion started here about me.

Note: I can read perfectly Spanish, but I won't talk in Spanish as my
writing level is too poor and could lead to more misinterpretations.

I was told by a Spanish user to map missing comarcas in Aragon and then I
was blocked for that, even if there was no "error", and there was an
ongoing talk with existing users that did not contacted me directly on OSM
but prefer to complain to the DWG.

It is clear from the talks (and it was agreed by the comments sent to the
changeset) that this was only a misunderstanding. And that I did not break
anything.

I talked also bout the fact that there are several competing comarcal
delimitations. They do not exist officially at national level, but are
effective by laws and regulations in each region (short for autonomous
community), and that for regions that are separated in different provinces,
the comarcal decided by regions in their official bulletin of laws does not
take into consideration the existing province boundaries.

But there were several existing consensus for this topic in related
projects (including, but not only, Wikidata, Spnish Wikipedia, and
Commons). And the situation is not clear as all kinds of comarcas are mixed
together or confused (sometimes with the same name depending on their type).

Anyway there was a "most common" practice existing in relevant commnities
about what was the more relevant (the situation is complicated by the fact
that there are "natural comarcas" or "traditional comarcas" which have
today no official status, of that sometimes coexist at several levels (a
traditional  "comarca" may be seen as a subcomarca of another traditional
comarca).

I did not want to promote one kind of comarcas for another, but at least
make the existing set consistent with itself for the most common use seen
and discussed since long in various opendata projects). Allowing then the
separate creation of these comarcas and properly tagging them to
differentiate them when needed was what I started.

But at least one comarcal division should exist in each region.

I had proposed several things, I was talking about them, but I was blocked
twice in a row during these talks (and was even blocked from continuing
these talks or even read the comments).



Now I've tried several times to join this list, but the OSM MLM has
technical problems as it does not comply to the enforcement measures taken
by various ISP (including very large ones): since about one year (March
2019) many ISP have enforced these rules, notably DKIM and DMARC for their
mails, but the OSM MLM breaks the DKIM and DMARC digital signatures (by
modifying digitally signed parts of emails: some MIME headers, the mail
subject line and/or the content body. To do that on messages signed with
DKIM or DMARC by their original sender, the MLLM must take some care: it
must sign again its own modifications and update its DNS to conform to DKIM
and DMARC. But it does not, only the SPF protocol is used, and then the SPF
protocol breaks again because the OSM MLM is not the original sender. Mails
sent for the OSM MLM are then bouncing.

And now recently the OSM MLM has been *silently* dropping subscriptions
from their lists. It has done that massively. Many users can no longer
communicate on the OSM lists. Worse, now they want to block users because
their mails are "bouncing". This makes communication in OMS tlak list very
dangerous if not impossible. People are blocked unfairly even if they did
not usurpate anyone. They are forced to change their email, can no longer
choose their provider or loose messages from the lists that they expected
to see.

I was blocked in OSM because of repeated failure to join this list to
continue this discussion. This is very unfair. I was ready to propose
things. But the DWG overrreacted and took its own decision very fast,
ignoring the complete facts.



About the case of Avila, there are were two different kinds of comarcas in
the same province and they would have overlapped. I'm not opposed at all
(in fact I'm in favour of this) to have these two comarcal delimitations,
provided they are distinguished (not use the same kind of tags).

As well I proposed to add a separate delimitation of mancommunidades, using
a model simialr to the intercommunalities used in France (i.e.
boundary=local_authority plus some Spanish specific tags like in France
with admin_type:FR=*). These are also important in Spain, for legal and
fiscal reasons and important in the day life of Spnish residents.

Spin is not more complicate than France or other countries. The pure
hierarchical of admin_levels is not entirely satisfied in any country,
there are exceptions everywhere fro different purposes. It's just a
convenient first kind of sorting things and getting consistant results in
searches or in statistics data, graphs and maps).

OSM should be open to various uses and not require a single view. OMS is
open and should be able
