[Tagging] Feature Proposal – RFC – natural=isthmus

Hello everyone, I'm proposing the tag natural=isthmus for mapping named isthmuses. An isthmus is a narrow strip of land, bordered by water on both sides and connecting two larger land masses. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:natural%3Disthmus Regards Markus ___

Hello, Are there still any objections to or comments on this proposal? Otherwise, i'd like to start voting in two weeks (if possible together with the related proposal natural=isthmus). https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:natural%3Dpeninsula Thank you all for your suggestio

Re: [Tagging] Drain vs ditch

If you think it is important to differentiate between lined vs. unlined minor waterways (/and I'm not objecting to that/), I guess the best option would be to use a specific tag (lined=* ?) IMHO relying on the tagger knowledge of the OSM dictionary semantic subtleties (/which sometimes happen t

I'm pretty sure that's the case in UK, but are you willing to bet on all drains (/e.g. industrial/) of the world being lined? On 2019-02-01 23:22, Paul Allen wrote: > On Fri, 1 Feb 2019 at 22:09, Sergio Manzi mailto:s...@smz.it>> > wrote: > > If you think it is important to differentiate bet

Right in these days you can read in the Italian newspapers of an industry having contaminated with industrial sewage an area inhabited by 300.000... And let's not get started with what we /"westerns" /normally call "the third world"... So, how do you tag drains which are not lined? On 2019-02

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal – RFC – natural=peninsula (Was: Feature Proposal – RFC – place=peninsula)

I like the proposal, Markus, but am confused by this statement: natural=peninsula is not intended for tagging coastal areas or coastal strips. What does it mean? Can you word it differently perhaps? Thanks for your efforts on this proposal. On Sat, Feb 2, 2019 at 12:10 AM Markus wrote: > Hell

Re: [Tagging] Drain vs ditch

Please point me to a dictionary defining "drain" as a "lined ditch" or in any way stating that a drain must be lined, because I tried and I failed. Best I found is in dictionary.com  that (/under /"/Physical Geography/") define it as 1. an artificial watercourse, as a ditch or trench. 2. a na
