I've only heard tailings used to refer to the waste from mining. Regarding wastewater treatment, I'm assuming other reservoir_types discussed were things like sedimentation and aeration? Brad On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 7:39 AM, Martin Koppenhoefer dieterdre...@gmail.com wrote: Today we had a

Re: [Tagging] addr

But in the US the administrative municipality for an address may be different than the city that is used for mailing to that address, which is regulated by the US Post Office (and I think tied to zip code). For example, residences in villages or towns may have a larger city/town nearby as their

You could also add coffee_roasting=yes to cafes if they roast their own beans? BTW, the proposed feature page is misspelled: needs another F Cheers, Brad On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 5:59 AM, Peter Wendorff wendo...@uni-paderborn.dewrote: :D working on maps software for the blind I like that.

Another outdoors example is at a park or school where there is a field which is used for various sports--soccer, baseball, football, etc (even ice hockey when they create a rink for the winter)--at different times. On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 7:21 AM, Peter Wendorff wendo...@uni-paderborn.dewrote:

Re: [Tagging] RFC: place=quarter, Parts of settlements, proposed hierarchy: suburb - quarter - neighbourhood

Martin, I'm not sure the NYC example is helping. You mentioned this was discussed on the German mailing list--can you give some other examples from Germany (or whereever) about how this might be used? Thanks, Brad On Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 3:57 AM, Martin Koppenhoefer dieterdre...@gmail.com

Re: [Tagging] RFC: place=quarter, Parts of settlements, proposed hierarchy: suburb - quarter - neighbourhood

Based on earlier discussions of place=suburb [1], I think it's good to start from an understanding that suburb as used in OSM does not match the common understanding of suburb in the US. [2] That said, I don't yet see the need for quarter. Both suburb and neighborhood are vaguely defined as it

Re: [Tagging] RFC: place=neighbourhood

First off, I like this proposal too and think it's a long time coming. But, some references made me go and read the place=suburb wiki page again, and that tag seems very similar, so can that distinction be clarified? That is, why would one choose suburb over city/town/village or neighbourhood?

Re: [Tagging] building=dormitory for monasteries?

I think it'd make sense to broaden the definition: Sleeping and living quarters provided by an institution for (large numbers of) people associated with that institution. For example, housing for university students. Not sure if the large numbers of helps or hurts, thus the parentheses. This

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - childcare

I notice the suggested rendering is similar to schools. Don't know about other areas, but in the US, many childcare centers are run out of private homes, so that rendering might seem a little strange. Maybe in that case a node is a better choice. Also, if you really want to get into the
