<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi, I'm new here and have been trying to learn.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I thought I was at a stage where I could make some basic
edits and so on. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I made some tentative attempts and then thought I would
wait and see if I was doing stuff correctly. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Well some have worked out just fine but others seem to
have varying degrees of success.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was told that the maps are slow to update due to the
work that is being concentrated on the Haitian crisis and if that is the case I
have nothing to worry about .... but I'm wondering if the reason that my entries
are not showing is because of something I have done wrong... or not done at
all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Could someone possibly have a look at the following edits
and confirm that the problems are not due to me. Please?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm not game to do more in case I am just making work that
someone else will have to fix up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am very familiar with Moreton Bay and this island to the
east of Dunwich on North Stradbroke Island is called Peel Island.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It has a lot of history to do with the early days of
Brisbane. It is marked on the Map as North Stradbroke Island.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I have attempted to change it (twice ... the fist
time I used a capital for the "Name" tag... instead of "name")</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I corrected that after some reading but it is still
showing as North Stradbroke Island.</FONT> </DIV>

it has changed since that data was created. There is a section that was not

<DIV> I corrected that. It shows up if I am zoomed out about 5 levels from
the maximum zoom but when I go closer my corrections do not show. When I go in
to the map editing programs (JOSM and Potlatch) my corrections are
there.</TD></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There is a suburb near where my Brother in law lives and
the streets are not named on the map although some of the streets are
there, not all of them are.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I plan to use my GPS to trace the unmapped streets and
name all of them but I thought I would get some practice first by naming some of
the ones I am familiar with. Because I go there a lot I know them quite
well.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Again, when I view this area in the edit map, my tags
are there. They seem to be valid to me but they are not showing in the view map.
I have been waiting, thinking that perhaps it is just the system is slow to
update, but it has been a week now and I'm wondering if the fault is
me and not the system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would appreciate someone more experienced having a look
for me and confirming that it is not my fault, or if it is, then letting me know
so I can fix it and avoid someone else having to clean up after me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Regards,<BR>Paul.<BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
