[OSM-talk] healthsites.io breaks OSM data, do not use

Sun Mar 22 15:28:42 UTC 2020

Thanks to the Healthsites.io Team.  

See my comments below about the keys added.

First point is about the addr:full  The addr wiki page suggests to avoid this key if possible. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr
Second point,, the rule in OSM is to not abbreviate addresses.See  changeset 82308472,  way=28712045addr:full=1825 E Warner Rd, Tempe, AZ 85284

The street name is different from the highway way 597611061 : East Warner Road. To my understanding, this might create problem with navigation tools. Third point : source = should be put on the changeset especially if you only added tags to an existant OSM object.  

Fourth point : One object per changeset adds burden to OSM contributors validating edits. This should be avoided as much as possible.

 Dear OSM Moderators

Thank you for raising the issue with data loss caused by edits through Healthsites.io. Our project is an important focal point for people looking to create, edit, visualise and extract data health facility data from OSM - especially in this trying time with COVID-19. We have fixed the underlying issues and also corrected any data issues that arose because of this issue.  Our team is on standby and will move to rapidly resolve any problems surfaced by the OSM community
.
A detailed list of data fixes we have done is available here:  https://github.com/healthsites/healthsites/issues/1357#issuecomment-602165455 

Thank you everyone,
Keep Safe
Regards

The Healthsites.io Team

It is one more lesson of this outbreak that the emergency response tools 
are to be prepared and tested well beforehand.

By the way, a viral respiratory infection can be stopped, or at least 
slowed down, by mere physical separation of hosts, i.e. people, because 
it stops the exponential chain reaction.

That is why mapping with the reliable editor say an archeological site 
in a forest could be also very beneficial. As some people could hike to 
it on weekend, instead of going to an overcrowded city park.

And we shall also remember of ambulances. Sometimes it is very hard for 
a driver to find a location of an address. In some cases it may take 
hours. So the general overall improvement of the map should continue.

Best regards,

Oleksiy
