=yes would flag its existence and someone could add the actual id number later. I assume you consider the presence of the sign as sufficient evidence that the site actually exists. It may refer to specific graves in a general cemetery (so it would be an additional attribute of the cemetery object)

Re: [Talk-GB] CWGC: worldwide, war graves

Am browsing the CWGC website as I write, looking at my locality. Clearly landuse=cemetery is the principal tag for the typical CWGC cemetery - dedicated to military with rows of the fallen. There is a proposal for cemetary=sector which appears to have failed. CWGC is showing in my locality >

That'd work when if I know the reference, but what if I've only seen the sign? On 26/04/2020 13:09, Colin Smale wrote: ref:cwgc=* would kill two birds with one stone, would it not? On 2020-04-26 13:44, Andy Townsend wrote: Hello, How is it suggested to tag "there are commonwealth war

Re: [Talk-GB] CWGC: worldwide, war graves

Hello, How is it suggested to tag "there are commonwealth war graves here"? At least near me, there's usually a fairly large white on green sign near the entrance, so even if it's not something you'd explicitly go out to map, it's often something that you'd notice. Best Regards, Andy On

This seems to be it: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2010-August/010110.html Found via a search for: site:lists.openstreetmap.org "talk-gb" "Commonwealth" Daniel, what is actually being proposed to be added to OSM? Is it a list of CWG cemeteries that could then be checked

Thanks for the fast feedback on this In case anybody may have the opportunity to meet them, their office is in Berks https://www.cwgc.org/get-in-touch/our-offices If they have already sent a reply then I don't want to bother them considering a second request for the same thing. While

Re: [Talk-GB] CWGC: worldwide, war graves

Hi, I think it was some years ago, but there was a question on this mailing list about Commonwealth War Graves, and someone in authority replied on the list that their data was open for use - not sure how easy it would be to search the archives for that. Sorry, I don't remember any more info

Re: [Talk-GB] CWGC: worldwide, war graves

Hi Daniel, Chris Hill attempted starting a discussion getting on for 10 years ago. I would imagine open data might be more on people's wavelength now, so it may be worth another shot. Jerry On Sat, 25 Apr 2020 at
