Please, can you add complexity that I missed or rewrite it to be more neutral rather than simply deleting it? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 00:13, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
Specify which kind of sign, clarify
Thanks for your edit on Tag:bicycle=yes and foot=yes.
You missed Key:foot and Key:bicycle that have similar text. Would be good if you update these also -- Emvee (talk) 22:38, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
What does this mean?
What documentation? Please expand on what you mean. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Relation:multipolygon&diff=next&oldid=2607259 --DaveF63 (talk) 15:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- DaveF63: Documentation = this very wiki, and all articles from Category:Tag descriptions which use {{Icon|r}} or {{Icon|a}}. This has been an point of misunderstanding since forever, see e.g.
- I only tried to clarify it in a glaring manner. Duja (talk) 15:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
omission of the 13th floor
Hi, I saw you changed “USA” to “western countries” in the level key documentation, which countries does this refer to? In the comment you write “superstitious USA” was offensive, wouldn’t it be more offensive to extend the claim to all of the US and not just the superstitious part? Isn’t superstition the exact term for the phenomenon? —-Dieterdreist (talk) 09:32, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Dieterdreist: The current text, quote, "A building may skip certain level numbers, such as floor 13 in Western countries or floors 4 and 14 in Chinese-speaking countries" does not specify that it's systematically omitted in those countries, just that it may happen. It is trying to say, in a neutral manner, that 13 is considered an unlucky number in Western countries, and 4 or 14 in China. And that's all what we should say on the matter, insofar it affects mapping -- judgments about superstition are simply off-topic. w:Thirteenth floor has some examples, mostly from U.S. and Canada.

- From my understanding, mentioning "superstition" is a description, not a "judgement", and it was meant to say that the superstition in the country is the cause for omitting the number. From what I know, in the US it is quite systematic that the 13 is omitted for hotel floors and room numbers. I have never seen the 13 omitted in a western European country, this is why I reduced the term western countries to USA. --Dieterdreist (talk) 11:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
