[Talk-us] SEO Damage to OSM

2017-06-30 Thread Clifford Snow
Edits, from what appears to be a search engine optimization company (SEO), have damaged a number of ways in the US. Martijn Van Exel pointed out the problem on Slack the other day. What they did was to add their client to a street, often changing the name of the street to the company. Fortunately

I fixed just about all of the problems east of the Mississippi. It'd probably be worth doing a more in-depth analysis on these SEO edits at some point. They all seem to add similar tags, use Sentence Case in user names, and only have one edit. On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 12:21 PM, Clifford Snow wrot

It looks like all the FBI field office sites are essentially part of the national site, so they're all probably managed centrally. They all credit Leaflet in the map widget, and use OSM tiles without crediting OSM. It's been years since I've noticed webmaster links, like we used to have in the ear

A better route is to contact http://leafletjs.com/ since they are providing the actual map data thru their script. Also they probably do so for lots of other sites. Leaflet does attribute Openstreetmap at the bottom of their main page page though. Dale Puch On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 2:36 PM, David

A good example is "Box-n-Go Self Storage North" road in North Hollywood (I believe it should really be Laurel Canyon Boulevard) I would suggest TeleNav cleaning that up themselves. Am 30.06.2017 um 22:26 schrieb Simon Poole: > > I''m in the process of fixing a couple of these. and I couldn't help

It's not Leaflet's fault the attribution is incorrect, their website is disabling the default attribution and adding a custom one. *~~* *Denis Carriere* On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 3:37 PM, Dale Puch wrote: > A better route is to contact http://leafletjs.com/ since they are > providing the actu

My mistake, Leaflet's example map and code on their main page do show correct attribution to OSM So back to the FBI https://www.fbi.gov/cve508/technical-support seems to suggest contacting a community outreach specialist in your local field office (via a dead link for me). https://www.fbi.gov/con

I'm going to check with some USG tech friends to see if they know anyone on the FBI web team. I think it may prove more expedient and get better attention than calling or emailing parts of the bureau which have little to do with this. -Mikel * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron
