[talk-au] The place Biniguy

[m.james]

The village designation is coming from nswgnb, I tried to get their info for why it has that designation but got a 404 link from their website.

We should fall back on the osm standards which give it as a hamlet as it is not >1000 in population.

The second node should be removed as it is describing the same thing.

I like to have these tagged as an area around the main part of the settlement but they tend to not render on the standard osm rendering engine even though area is an acceptable method of tagging for places, you can decide which ever you prefer.

Not sure if we are allowed to pull the postcode info from AP or not but if we can you should add it as it is nice to have that info.

The relation looks like it has been edited recently, you could message the person working on that to get them to check it for correctness.

Hi

Using https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/unmapped#7/-29.612/150.480 there are some 'places' that look like they can be 'improved'.


However that are some that identify obvious inconsistencies!

  Biniguy in OSM is mapped as a;

locality (no population) relation 6069701

hamlet (small population) node 113689225

village (lager population) node 113689249


Rather inconsistent! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biniguy,_New_South_Wales says the population 2011 was over 600.

I have moved the village node to the village rather than the farm or that name.
I think the hamlet might be deleted or should the village be deleted?
No school, shops so might be better as a hamlet.

The relation looks to define the area. Does this need a place tag at all?
