 tastrax | I would only contact the mappers if its in the last month or so. The project managers, yes, they need to be aware where its a severe problem (not just one or two edits). | 06:05:47 |
 arnalie | Problem User Escalation Process is in the wiki
also sending /Problem Project Escalation in case it's useful here | 06:07:43 |
 r_aytoun | This is one inexperienced mapper that is doing this, registered in February 2024 . I will contact this mapper and explain that this is not the way to use this tag. | 09:49:23 |
 anthaas | Hi, can anyone explore the project https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16491 I don't have the access. In this project there are a lot of beginner mappers mapping in the iD and this project overlaps with https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16280. The map is rewritten with the poor mapping quality and mapped tents in the project 16280 are being deleted. | 09:51:21 |
| anthaas | Ok, the project 16491 has newer imagery than 16280 but common beginner mistakes were made during the mapping (connected buildings, intersecting buildings and roads, connected buildings and residential areas, unsquared buildings,...) | 11:34:56 |
| r_aytoun | Problem has been addressed. Thank you. | 11:42:41 |
| r_aytoun | Jorieke can you please address this problem with duplicated areas. #16491 is actively being mapped at the moment but not being validated. | 11:49:02 |
 Jorieke | Hey anthaas yes I email you. | 12:59:07 |

I would only contact the mappers if its in the last month or so. The project managers, yes, they need to be aware where its a severe problem (not just one or two edits). I would expect them not only to be aware but also to ensure that bad data is cleaned up (cases like HOT hashtags put into name tags, fields mapped as buildings, name=Building for all buildings) | 17:24:26 |

| matkoniecz | Thanks for taking action! Though problem is not yet fully handled, 1352 buildings need to be fixed - see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1JzH | 05:48:32 |
| matkoniecz | And ideally also reviewed for other issues, if they were confused about this they could be also confused about other things. | 05:48:55 |
| matkoniecz | And thanks for contacting them I have seen that they fixed some already. | 05:50:35 |
| r_aytoun | I deliberately left some examples of their work with a message to fix that. I will be monitoring those examples and will fix them if the mappers do not respond. Thank you for checking. | 14:25:48 |

 dinar.adiatma | I'm interested in avoiding this issue for mapping activities. How did you initially detect this? | 04:35:49 |
| matkoniecz | I was looking for initial data problem (name=Building) and there was group of such buildings nearby. | 05:51:29 |
| matkoniecz | In general, people making mistakes typically make multiple at once.
So if you systematically look through some easily detectable problem you can find also other like this. | 05:52:17 |

 wisemana | Maybe a warning could be added to the HOT version of iD that warns for hashtags in the name field | 19:04:47 |

 Jf L | I had a quick look to the validated tasks of project # 15181 because I received an invitation for an upcoming mapathon. Surprinsingly , it seems that none of the buildings in construction are taken into account, is it normal? Thanks for your feedback. | 09:10:05 |
| r_aytoun | @ola_ooo Jorieke Is it a requirement to map incomplete buildings in #15181? | 10:03:49 |
| Jorieke | We do not have specific requirements to not map them, so yes please do map also the buildings in construction. I will update the instructions to make that clear. Thanks Jf L! | 14:22:25 |
| arnalie | hi validators, Malawi Flash floods #16303 - only 13 tasks to validate if you have time :) | 15:53:41 |
| anthaas | Project is validated, but the last task https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16303/tasks/?search=831 is corrupted and I'm unable to submit the validation. The same issue like the reported bug https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/issues/6320 | 16:33:21 |
| 18 Apr 2024 |
| Jf L | Thanks Jorieke for your reply which makes sense. What about the validated tasks, do you plan to invalidate them or to initiate a 3rd pass validation? | 07:21:11 |
|  _slack_hotosm_UV2G3299B joined the room. | 08:13:51 |
| Jorieke | We will certainly do 3th pass validation. | 14:38:11 |
| Jf L | Perfect, should you consider that I am skilled enough to participate in 3rd pass validation, feel to request my support. | 18:27:06 |
| 19 Apr 2024 |
| Jorieke | That would be most welcome! I will send you a personal message. 🙂 | 09:08:21 |
