I think you can use pole to map the pole, but if you are trying to map the wire, then you have to have a guy_wire or support_cable created. Javbw > On May 1, 2017, at 9:42 PM, John Sturdy wrote: > > I guess this is micro-mapping and probably OK by just about anyone to

Re: [Tagging] wikipedia links and copy + paste in tag definitions

Defending the wiki from the twin editing hazards of editors with more enthusiasm than judgement and cargo cult-style copying by people who misunderstand the reasons to do or not to do things is difficult. For one thing you do not want to sink to that level yourself when editing. -- Andrew

Hi Martin, if you generally think that "aeroway (is) not appropriate for spacecraft", but people already used it before, why don't you create a proposal for the "correct" tagging in your point of view ? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:aeroway%3Dspaceport I'm getting tired of this

Hello all, so what is the principle of the "organisation of information" in OSM ? Up to now, I couldn't find a documentation that explains the general philosophy how to tag items. Cheers, Thilo > different organisation of information. > will very likely not be what we want.

[Tagging] Non-live cables for bracing power lines?

I guess this is micro-mapping and probably OK by just about anyone to leave unmapped, but I'm feeling thorough... near where I live, there's a power line running along the edge of a byway, and an apparently non-powered cable leading from the top of one of the poles (

[Tagging] barrier=rocks?

Hi, At various points around where I live, there are barriers made by a row of large rocks, evidently intended to keep vehicle out of an area (particulary where there are concerns about long-term Traveller encampments, I think). Would barrier=rocks be suitable for this? barrier=block is listed
