Cheat Sheet für Dachformen

Hallo Geri-oc, erst einmal vielen Dank für deine Mühe, die Tags in einem Blatt zusammen zu fassen. Ich habe trotzdem mal einen kleinen Hinweis angehängt, dass wir mit den 3D tags zur Zeit noch ein ziemliches Wirrwar haben. Wir wollen das beim 2nd_3D_Workshop_Garching verbessern, vielleicht hast du ja Lust? --!i! This user is member of the wiki team of OSM 18:32, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Hallo Matthias, Danke - habe dir bereits per PN geantwortet - Gerd

Wikimedia Commons Bildanzeige im OSM-Wiki

Allgemein: Jede Datei von Wikimedia commons kann hier im Wiki so eingezeigt werden, 
wie die Datei File:Lutherlinde.JPG aktuell angezeigt wird.

-> Eigentlich (sinnlos)

Nein, den nur durch diese Technik können Bilder von WM-Commons auf OSM-Wikiseiten angezeigt werden, ohne dass diese Bilder in unserem Wiki gespeichert sind. Vgl. Historische Objekte von Lutz. Die vielen Beispielbilder sind fast alle nicht im OSM-Wiki gespeichert. Dank der o.g. Technik ist es aber möglich diese Bilder im OSM-Wiki direkt zu betrachten. --Reneman (talk) 10:00, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

OSM-Wiki-Bilder für Wikimedia Commons

Hallo Geri, ich bin so frei und fange mal eine Liste mit Bildern von dir an, über die ich so stolpere ;-) Wenn du Lust und Zeit hast, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn du dich der Liste nach und nach annimmst. Ergänze bitte bei den Bildern zum Schluß die Vorlage {{d|Begründung}}. Danke :) --Reneman (talk) 19:35, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Tag village in Schmiedewalde

Hallo Geri-oc, bin gerade beim rendern der Karten mit mkgmap über den Tag Place-village gestolpert, den Du bei N 51,06183. E 13,4773 für gesamt 2 Häuser gesetzt hast. Das ist nicht richtig. place=village soll für settlements von 2000 bis 10000 Einwohner verwendet werden. Solche falsche Verwendung führt dazu, das die 2 Häuser als Ort gerendert werden, was Schwachsinn ist. Und noch was: OSM ist nicht Selbstzweck, sondern entstanden, um eine copyrightfreie Datenbasis zur Erstellung von Garminkarten zu haben. Das OSM mittlerweile gewachsen ist und nicht mehr nur für Garminkarten funktioniert, ist klar. Aber man sollte immer im Hintergrund bedenken, dass das vorrangige Ziel die Erstellung einer Karte ist, und da sind halt tags so zu verwenden, dass kein Mist rauskommt. Und place=village geht nunmal nicht für 2 Häuser. Der gesetzte tag landuse reicht vollkommen aus. village ist überflüssig. Will nicht in Deine Bearbeitungen reinpfuschen. Bitte ändere es selbst.

Ein weiteres Problem Deines Tagging's : Du hast bei N51,007 E13.564 den tag hamlet gesetzt ohne einen tag name= . Der tag umschliest genau 1 Haus +Nebengebäude. Dss ist für mich noch kein Weiler. Der tag ist irreführend. falls Du das unbedingt als Weiler taggen willst, dann muss er auch einen Namen bekommen. ! Siehe bitte hier : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Tag:place%3Dhamlet. ein landuse -tag wäre besser gewesen.


mfg Drohne

Hallo Drohne,
1. Erst einmal bitte ich dich mir eine Kontaktmöglichkeit mitzuteilen. Bist zwar als User mit 0 edits zu finden aber nicht ein Nachrichtenkanal ist angegeben.
2. Schöner wäre es die betreffenden node zu verlinken, bzw. die id=* zu nennen.
3. Unter der KO ist kein place= zum finden.
4. zu dem vermuteten 2. Problem habe ich einen CS-Kommentar hinterlassen (morgen1?)
5. OSM lebt von der Fehlerberichtigung - auch die eventuell User vor 4 Jahren gemacht haben.
6. Kommunikation im CS oder mit direkter id=* hilft meist immer.
Gruß Gerd

pipeline

Du hast meine Änderung an key:pipeline als angeblich undiskutiert rückgängig gemacht. Der Tag Tag:pipeline=marker wurde per erfolgreichem Proposal durch Key:marker ersetzt. Wofür brauch es da eine gesonderte Diskussion? Discostu36 (talk) 06:16, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Auch über die Löschung eines Schlüssel oder Wertes sollte diskutiert werden. Ihr könnt mit eurer Stromgruppe in Frankreich nicht einfach jahrelang genutzte Schlüssel/Werte außer Kraft setzen. Ferner sollte eine Diskussion und eine Einführung eines Schlüssels/Wertes nicht in so einer kurzen Zeit (1 Monat für Diskussion und Abstimmung)) "durchgeprügelt" werden. Gab es deinerseit - als Zustimmer - einen Hinweis auf das Proposal/Diskussion im Forum? --Geri-oc (talk) 07:44, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Hä? Ich gehöre nicht zu irgendeiner französischen Stromgruppe. Das Proposal wurde drei Monate lang diskutiert bis es zur Abstimmung. Ich gehöre nicht zu den Zustimmern. Und selbst wenn gehört es damit nicht zu meinen Aufgaben, es im Forum anzukündigen. Wenn dir das aktuelle Vorgehen, wie in OSM Tags etabliert werden, nicht gefällt, solltest du das an anderer Stelle ansprechen, aber nicht Änderungen reverten, die dir nicht gefallen. -- Discostu36 (talk) 13:22, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

licensing of image

Are you author of image https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:10422200_911666118844684_478749854764918653_n.jpg ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

Would you be OK with https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement) ?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:CC-BY-SA-4.0 ?

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the author of image File:2014 Altenberg Umspannwerk Trafo 102.jpg ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ".

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.

Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified January 2022}} from the file page.

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the creator of image File:2015 Schmiedeberg Saray und Gemüse.jpg ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ" or "this is map generated from OpenStreetMap data and SRTM data" or "map generated from OSM data and only OSM data" or "This is my work based on file -link-to-page-with-that-file-and-its-licensing-info-" or "used file downloaded from internet to create it, no idea which one".

Doing this would be already very useful.

Licensing - photos

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified March 2022}} from the file page.

Licensing - other images

If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.

See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.

note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.

note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

Attribution

Hello! And sorry for bothering you, but descriptions of files you uploaded need to be improved.

You have uploaded files which are licensed as requiring attribution. But right now attribution is not specified properly.

Please, ask for help if something is confusing or unclear in this message.

Please, fix that problem with this uploads - note that images with unclear licensing situation may be deleted.

Attribution may be missing completely or just be specified in nonstandard way, in either case it needs to be improved. Note that using CC-BY files without specifying attribution is a copyright violation, which is often unethical and unwanted. So clearly specifying required attribution is needed if license which makes attribution mandatory was used.

If it is applying to your own work which not based on work by others - then you can select own user name or some other preferred attribution or even change license to for example {{CC0-self}}

For your own work: ensure that it is clearly stated at file page that you created image/took the photo/etc

For works by others - please ensure that there is link to the original source which confirms license and that you used proper attribution, or that source is clearly stated in some other way.

Especially for old OSM-baded maps, made from data before license change on 12 September 2012 you should use "map data © OpenStreetMap contributors" as at least part of attribution

For old OSM Carto maps, which predate license change on 12 September 2012 you can use a special template {{OSM Carto screenshot||old_license}}
