<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Mateusz, great feedback, thank you!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">> I guess that "people using RapiD mindlessly" is one [potential issue]</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there are any issues introduced, we will detect this a few days later, because all addresses in OSM are checked for issues by the script, every time it runs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">> What is the plan for dealing with official data that is malformed, incorrect or otherwise wrong?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are lucky in New Zealand, the data is very high quality. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The database from LINZ is the same one used by the fire service, the postal service, and local city councils.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any issues identified by the local city council are quickly fixed in the country-wide database.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a result, the data is almost always correct from what I’ve seen.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">> note image with mismatched name<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sadly, new users cannot upload images to the OSM wiki (see <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wiki:User_confirmation">
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wiki:User_confirmation</a>)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I need to edit more wiki pages before I can upload images
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">☹</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">> just to confirm, is it safe to assume that deleted addresses are gone<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, the image I tried to upload to the wiki would have explained that. “deleted” addresses are always replaced by new addresses.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See here for an example – Number 14 is replaced by a new road and 5 new houses:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16009897/111219374-cec35680-863c-11eb-894a-2dc79961ac8b.png">https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16009897/111219374-cec35680-863c-11eb-894a-2dc79961ac8b.png</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good spotting, the fork of RapiD is able to add nodes, move nodes, delete nodes, but not edit existing nodes yet.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will add this feature soon and then update this table.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In 2009 a project to import data from the New Zealand Government's geospatial agency (LINZ) began (see
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/LINZ" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/LINZ</a>)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In 2017 the project began importing street address data from LINZ (see
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/LINZ/Address_Import" target="_blank">
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/LINZ/Address_Import</a>)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">However the street address data has never been updated since 2017.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In that time 161,000 new addresses have been created in New Zealand.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I sent an email to the talk-nz mailing list last week, proposing that the New Zealand street address import be continued.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This proposal received entirely positive feedback from the talk-nz mailing list - you can see the discussion here:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As part of this proposal, the existing data in OSM will be compared with the data from the New Zealand Government, so that errors in the data can been corrected.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">There is a detailed wiki page for this proposal:
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/New_Zealand_Street_Addresses_(2021)" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In summary: The intention is to use a custom version of the RapiD editor to import the new addresses, and to fix incorrect data in the addresses.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I've created a proof-of-concept which you can try out here:
<a href="https://linz-addr.kyle.kiwi" target="_blank">https://linz-addr.kyle.kiwi</a> - NOTE: it deliberately does not let you upload changesets yet.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As a matter of due diligence, I'm forwarding this proposal to the global community.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">If you have time to read the wiki page, I would love to hear feedback on this proposal.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
