Help! I found more places to fix than I can fix (fixes possible via armchair mapping)

General talk

Not sure is anyone here on forums looking for more places to fix in OSM (rather than having list long enough to last for next 120 years).

But in case someone is looking for areas that can be remotely fixed I may throw few:

EDIT this specific problem is now fixed, see below for unfixed one Note: 4678514 | OpenStreetMap

(even just deleting all this landcover would be step toward better data)

Note: 4756625 | OpenStreetMap - area where many buildings are mapped as landuse=residential

(in unlikely case of people actually looking for more things to fix - what you are looking for? I likely can share something from my TODO list - posting all of it here would be pointless but if people are actually looking for something…)

in both cases I fixed some, put on my TODO list to finish it but I see that I will not get to it before 2050 at the current rate. So if anyone is interested, feel free to fix mapping there!

If there are people here looking for things to fix I’m also happy to share some from my long list :slight_smile:

Since the creator of this HOT project is still active, maybe they could take a look and help address the issue themselves?

how you found them?

link from Changeset: 125653248 | OpenStreetMap goes to “An error occurred” page

EDIT: oh, you can delete map suffix and it works. I wrote to them at Changeset: 166166124 | OpenStreetMap

Divide, delegate and conquer!

Endless tasks never get done.

Last year we did a province of the month project. Each month one Dutch province was targeted by the community, to get some of these missions done. Many mappers contributed with work and special skills (eg QGIS) and resources (public data, contributed data). Some missions reached near-completion in this one year!

I don’t know how this applies to your CFH, but I found it encouraging!

Let me offer some really beautiful Rapid mapping:

User is blocked and I’m thinking if it would be a good idea to simply run a revert on all those “buildings”…

Youah, Tallin123 did a really good job there … :grimacing: …

If still someone is looking for a satisfying job, I could offer a few hundred landuse=grass like this one

landuse=grass
landuse=grass1167Ă—1186 252 KB

which could need some minor improvements here and there … :wink:

Maybe suggest it to DWG would make sense?

/resists adding it to my TODO list/

User is known to DWG and @kmpoppe mentioned maybe thinking about reverting

So does the Danish community, but they choose a different subject each month such as benches Maybe you can learn from each other?

We used to do a Theme of the Week in the German language Telegram group and used the wiki, too
