I found a completely erased military base in Israel, that is uncensored on Bing and Google, and two instances in OSM of it have subsequently been removed, the first one drawn by me (for 2 years) more recently a fresh version from user mathbau (162033031) erased by wikipod. (162033973) There might have been consensus between the 2, but I don't think that it's 2 users who should decide on what is there to map and what not, once it has been licensed to OSMF.
For those that want to see what's going on: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=32.6671&lon=35.18933&zoom=15&layers=M http://maps.google.nl/maps?ll=32.665896,35.177879&spn=0.028794,0.055747&; t=k&z=15 In josm it's easy to vies BING imagery behind it. Don't know about potchlatch. I suppose it makes no sense creating a mapping war, so I inquired about any policy in these. Anyway, I was trying to recover the version I made in the past to insert into fosm, but it seems that it's not easy to find erased works.... ;<(( The change Gert (cetest) -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Richard Weait [mailto:[email protected]] Verzonden: donderdag 23 augustus 2012 20:22 Aan: ce-test, qualified testing bv - Gert Gremmen CC: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [OSM-talk] Policy in mapping military installations On Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 1:59 PM, Gert Gremmen <[email protected]> wrote: > What is OSM's policy in mapping military installations... I'm not aware of an OSMF policy on mapping military installations. I'm not aware of mapping guidelines that are specific to military installations. General mapping guidelines based on verifiability, permanence and significance probably apply as they would anywhere else.
