Potential Note Duplicates worldwide - September 2023 Update

thanks, started processing them and found some hints why bug may happen: Multiple Notes created in the same place for the same poi · Issue #4853 · streetcomplete/StreetComplete · GitHub

(help welcomed but I plan to review all of them so they will keep appearing only if bug still exists)

In addition to SC (“StreetComplete”) there are now MM (“MapsMe”) and OM (“OrganicMaps”) markers for what application added each note.

In addition to the markers for the software creating the notes, there’s now also UD! (“User Deleted”) showing the 214 notes, that have been created by users that have since been deleted and will most likely not open via the website (Issue on Github: Error 500 on showing note with no visible comments · Issue #2146 · openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website · GitHub)

Thanks, and also welcome to the Community :smiley:

Thank you - glad to be here! :cowboy_hat_face:

After not even two weeks since this topic started, already a big change in the notes’ stats is shown.

For real, great job everyone trying to keep the map clear of multiple notes (and actually looking them up and not just quick sweep) and @kmpoppe for triggering this action traffic (even though duplicate notes according to your stats are sorta stabilized over 22k, but it still made others looking up for old and forgotten notes aswell).

note that this big drops are due to current month not yet being complete - is there really notable change in statistics?

Now more countries[1] have moved to their own page to reduce loading time of the main page.

If Organic Maps still works like Maps.me did a couple of years ago, their users have no idea when they are creating notes. I think the new poi form has a text field at the bottom where users write users write a description. Maybe they think it’s required or increase the chances of their edits being “accepted”. That creates a note.

Actually users have no idea about changesets either. The app creates them whenever it’s convenient and never tells the users.

Sounds like the worst nightmare of anyone thinking data-consistency was a goal to achieve :face_exhaling:

The vibes I get from those texts would indicate such a thinking - how it came to be I wonder.

This problem seems not reported at Issues · organicmaps/organicmaps · GitHub from a quick look

The list was updated today again.

Additionally, there is now a marker for Notes that where created using “onosm.org”.

Good morning!

The list has been updated regularly over the past few days and now gets done by an automatic process at 7am CE(S)T, so I don’t have to remember starting it :sweat_smile:

Thanks everyone for getting the count below 22k, great effort! Also, this has come a long way from the 30k+ we had little over half a year ago :slight_smile:

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Could you add a key for all of the superscript abbreviations on the wiki? Thanks!

Good morning everyone!

The list and the Wiki have been updated. As per @Graptemys suggestion, the superscript abbreviations are now explained before the list starts.

For ease of use, notes that aren’t currently accessible from osm.org directly (HTTP 500 error) because the creating user was deleted, got their opening comment extracted into a different wiki page, and the list links there.

Good morning everyone.

The list has been updated and with a big help from @zluuzki we got rid of over 1,000 entries in Iran, pushing the total candidate number under 20k!

Good progress, thank you all!
