List of Israel Places

talkat · 2010-12-06 15:06:55

Hi all,

I've created a list of all places in Israel.

Please comment on ways to enhance it and make it better.

Please remember that it's still a work in progress.

It is a machine generated list, so don't edit it.
Use its talk page for comments, or better is this thread.

The filter I used is "places whose name tag is in Hebrew"

In the future I plan to divide by letter.

Places that have a polygon but not a node means that there are some discrepancies with the names (most likely), or the node is missing (unlikely...)

Great thing and good idea (could be from me )

But why only in English and not Hebrew?
Could be nice Google search feedback having also the Hebrew namings in the list.

Something like this? ;-)

I've added a counter for the place polygons.
About half the places have polygons. We still have a long way to go.

Great,

I love statistics. So today we have the following status:
Grand Total Places: 1274, polygons: 640

634 are still missing

A few were added today, and 3 were deleted yesterday by mistake and re-added today,
so I hope tomorrow's stats will be a little better :-)

I added several recognized Bedouin villages in the south.

I also went over several places, and changed them.
They aren't villages anymore.
e.g. Avukah, Havat Shalem, etc.

PS: We will need local help in the following Areas as the places are very close to each other:

Petah Tikva => http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/246255484
Qiryat Hayyim => http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/246255484

Anybody that can help ?

Thanks Talkat for taking care of all three links I posted. Good teamwork.
We are getting very close to 100 now.

Cheers! :-)

I believe we are below 100 with todays' edits ;-)

Great!

Please check our this area where I also not able to figure out what counts to what place:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=32.64 … =563338605

Done.
There's no "Yokneam"
Just "Yokneam Illit" which is the small town, and "Yokneam Hamoshava" which is the village.
Yokneam Illit is what people usually mean when they say "Yokneam"

1274, polygons: 1211

63 missing

(Today we should get to around 10 that are most probably problematic cases!)

10 Is a big goal...

I solved about 5 "problematic cases" today. :-)

Mr_Israel · 2011-01-12 14:28:40

I went through from the top to the letter G and fixed everything.
I'm now at H

Somehow Haifa is showing as missing. It has a relation instead of the normal place tags.
Is this a problem ?

Mr_Israel · 2011-01-12 14:50:53

Now working on the letter : K
Everything on the list till K is done. Only Haifa is missing.

Mr_Israel · 2011-01-12 15:13:08

Finished with "L"

Another problematic place is ליפתא : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/278478735

Looks like there are around 27 left to go through. I expect even less than that.

Mr_Israel · 2011-01-12 15:37:01

I finished with "M" next is "N" is somebody wants to continue you are welcome.

Here are another problematic places:

מחנה ישראל = > http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/278474098
מגדל אפק => http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/278478058
מגרון => http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/946566457

talkat · 2011-01-12 17:11:42

All done.

Lifta: Ruins near Jerusalem
Mahane Israel: Old Maabara. Doesn't exist anymore.
Migdal Afek: Ruins. There are 3 ruins nodes there. I believe we can leave only one, and delete the other 2...
Migron: It's too new to appear in Bing's images. I drew an approximate north-south rectangle, which is the general shape of the place.

:-)

Mr_Israel · 2011-01-12 17:51:18

Do you mean all places are done or just the problematic places are done?

Just the 4 problematic ones I mentioned.
