It's a building that is a closed way, but only just. How can I offer to help that mapper do what they are trying to do better? All the changeset comment says is "#MissingMaps #hotosm-project-1254 Lubumbashi, Congo (DRC) #100mapathons #OSMGeoWeek " - to me the only useful information in there is "Lubumbashi, Congo (DRC)", which I already know since that is exactly where this edit is.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's why I suggested to put more of a description in the comment. </div><div><br></div><div>What I mean is that, compared to most of the changesets out there, this is pretty good but that things can always be better and there is room for improvement without changing too much the way this works now.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow:hidden">
More importantly, how do I contact the person who told this new mapper that "#MissingMaps #hotosm-project-1254 Lubumbashi, Congo (DRC) #100mapathons #OSMGeoWeek" was a suitable changeset comment, to explain to them what we use changeset comments for and what makes a good one? If I can talk to them, I can probably help them help other new users too, and not just with stuff about changeset comments - as an OSM mapper think of all the "how to interpret imagery" latent knowledge that you have simply by being able to compare a place you visited with the imagery of that place.</div></blockquote></div><br>We could even add the url of the task as a changeset tag. And yes the tasking manager won't be online forever but changesets also become less usefull the older they get.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><div dir="ltr">Met vriendelijke groeten,<br>Best regards,<br><br>Ben Abelshausen</div></div></div>
