I have set up these challenges as of today: [1] - Railway Station codes [2] - Wiki tags for railway stations [3] - Wiki tags for cities and towns [4] - Wiki tags for districts
- @Naveen I hope all the NHs are already traced and mapped [and updated to the new numbering]? I'll check if Overpass QL supports regex tomorrow and set up the challenges. I might need your help. - Regarding tracing roads and building in small towns and villages, I noticed that more 50% of the villages were not even mapped (at least in Andhra/Telangana, I didn't look at other states). I think this procedure might be good: [a] - Place `node`s with place=village tags for untagged villages. We don't know all the names, so we might want to leave the name for now. [b] - Setup challenges to trace roads; and buildings [c] - Work to get data about the villages (starting with their names themselves) I can start [a] with Andhra Pradesh and Telangana district-wise-alphabetically. If you are open to this idea, let me know and your thoughts. - Here are the links for the Challenges [1,2,3,4]: [1] - Railway Station codes - http://maproulette.org/map/2403 [2] - Wiki for Railway Stations - http://maproulette.org/map/2404 [3] - Wiki for cities and towns - http://maproulette.org/map/2405 [4] - Wiki for districts - http://maproulette.org/map/2406 cc Arun. Need your help spreading the word :) - I am in touch with Martijn of MapRoulette. He said he would feature our challenges in the upcoming newsletter. I think the challenges above are pretty easy and useful for getting people from other communities interested in OSM, as Arun said. But tracing untraced villages would be good for featuring in his newsletter. That might bring attention. What do you think?

Adding these tags also help make maps on Wikipedia.
