Re: [Tagging] consensus needed: officially a town but visibly distinct settlements?

What is perceived locally as a hamlet or a suburb or a village can be organized at the local level. Who cares if the presence of a post office is the criterum to be a 'village' for a 200 people place if it's the only inhabited place 100km around? Who understand administrative levels in another

Re: [Tagging] consensus needed: officially a town but visibly distinct settlements?

Well, from the mapping point of view, these political differences between a Spanish small village and a Spanish big hamlet matter: 1) Villages have their own major, so they have a town hall. 2) Villages have their own local rules on max speed, buildings, street markets and banking holidays. So a

Hello, there. All is in the title: when access to a road is restricted to military, as it is running through a base, should I tag it access=private or access=military? The first gives the right restriction, but the second is more precise, although not documented (about 1.8k uses according to

I agree with Michael, openstreetmap should reflect what the mapers see, not what the politics and the administration see. Though it is also interesting to map administrative things like borders. djakk Le sam. 18 août 2018 à 17:33, Yves a écrit : > Michael, you don't seem to take the right

Re: [Tagging] How to tag small canals?

Without getting into scientific, expert or philosophic discussions, I think it would not hurt to have a standardized way of recording say a bandwidth for dimensions like width and ele. The example in this case was width=3 m - 6 m or so, with the assumpion this notation would not be usable to

Plwase take into notice that, in some countries, the difference between suburb, hamlet, town or village is not only based on population but in political issues, such as self-government, also. When I see my hometown is defined as "aldea" (hamlet) in wikidata I always got angry, because, being

Dear all, I visited the whole Curonian Spit last month (the whole 100 km from Zelenogradsk to Smiltynė) and made some edits on it according to observations from my eye. These edits got reverted on the basis that I have "no local knowledge" (I made the edits completely on observations - "If it

How are data consumers going to use the data ??? Not much point in it for them I'd think. For mappers that come along later it may be a usefull guide for comparison with their measurements. But few mappers will be bothered entering it so I again don't see much point. I'd think tagging like
