Editor usage stats
Hi Oli. I like your Editor usage stats. Wondered if you'd thought about doing an update. Could be interesting now that iD is starting to gain "market share".

- Ah sorry. Just realised you *are* updating to show iD in the data tables. Just not in the graphs yet. -- Harry Wood (talk) 09:33, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Exactly. I intend to update the graphs once every six months, to include another complete period of half a year, as preliminary/incomplete data tend to be somewhat distorted especially for the "by number of users" graph. So I'll have to ask you for a few more weeks of patience. However, in the upcoming plots iD will appear only as a single point, which will not be that interesting yet. BTW, the date of the latest update is currently hidden in a comment line above each table, which I guess I should change in the script generating the wiki content. Probably when I rewrite the whole thing. -- Oli-Wan (talk) 10:18, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi Oli. I'm preparing a http://blog.openstreetmap.org blog post about JOSM which will be linking to Editor usage stats page. That's going out shortly -- Harry Wood (talk) 01:25, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Similarly to these previous messages, I believe there's going to be a mention of this on weeklyOSM, and possibly also on facebook. But... currently the interesting thing is the rise of MAPS.ME, which is not yet shown on the graphs -- Harry Wood (talk) 01:27, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
New Statistics possible?
Hello,
in the editor stats page I read "a growing percentage of users has been using exclusively one of the online editors and not been converted to JOSM users". Actually I'd like to know the reasons for this. Is there an issue we need to fix or is it a logical process. Would it be possible to generate another stats set? Do you still have the old data? Then you could make a table for each important editor (iD, JOSM, Potlatch 1/2):
- How many users are new in this year (not been seen before)
- How many users have not been active year before (i.e. long-time mainly inactive users)
- How many users have been active before, but only with another editor
- How many users have been active constantly.
I think that could help to understand the dynamics a bit. I assume, that the reason is simply the "Everything already done" situation here in Europe which does not attract many new people for more than small edits.
Also it would be fine, when the last image (updatestatus of JOSM) could be updated. --Stoecker (talk) 10:31, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
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:Car sharing-cambio-aachen-ponttor.png ?
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".
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 February 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.
Help
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).
If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.

(sorry if I missed something that already states license and source: I am looking through over 20 000 files and fixing obvious cases on my own, in other I ask people who upladed files, but it is possible that I missed something - in such case also please answer)
