Hi Folks, In this case the user name of NTCA is a bit of a hint. Took me a couple of minutes to find this group https://www.facebook.com/nerangtrailcare/ - Nerang Trail Care Alliance In this case I would agree with the deletions Cheers - Phil From:

Re: [talk-au] "Removing closed or illegal trails." (in Nerang National Park)

HI Folks My opinion on the topic (as a past track/trail manager) is that if you are not a local actively involved with the trail managers then you need to be very careful. There can often be rehabilitation at the start and end of closed/illegal tracks and no active rehabilitation on other

How about flag:type=indigenous? That would seem the best in my opinion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples From: Graeme Fitzpatrick Sent: Sunday, 12 December 2021 5:43 PM To: OSM-Au Subject: [talk-au] First Nations flags? Just doing some mapping & spotted a group of

Re: [talk-au] First Nations flags?

Hi Graeme, My feeling is these two flags should be changed to flag:type=indigenous on the wiki rather than national given what has been found during this discussion. I am also not confident in changing the wiki but I think there is consensus for the change Any good wiki editors out

Re: [talk-au] Discord #oceania channel?

Hi Folks, The discord channel is a bit more chatty but I am not sure if old conversations are archived. It’s a great place to get tagging advice etc and its also a good place to get information from an international perspective. I would still use the mailing list for anything specific to

Re: [talk-au] Charter boats & similar mapped as ferry terminals?

I think when floatplanes are in the water the are considered as vessels so where they ‘park’ would just be a pier. Where the booking office for flights are located they could be shop=ticket or tourism=attraction (maybe) … and there is also landuse=port/industrial=port/port=seaplane

Hi Graeme, It appears that there is no cycle route relation attached to the street in question. https://www.opencyclemap.org/docs/ Maybe ask the person to add the required route (if known) Cheers - Phil From: Graeme Fitzpatrick Sent: Tuesday, 15 March 2022 11:52 AM To:

I am happy to send an email to DWG with an overview of concerns. Maybe other folks can gather a listing of any desired changesets for reversion and if all or just some wiki edits should be reverted. -Original Message- From: osm.talk...@thorsten.engler.id.au Sent: Sunday, 13 February

Re: [talk-au] Licence mention for static mapon NiceLocal.com.au

In that instance, as its using Mapbox, you can also advise Mapbox at the contact form at the bottom of this page. They will also contact the people and make sure it gets the correct attribution. https://docs.mapbox.com/help/getting-started/attribution/#reporting-attribution-problems Cheers -
