List of Israel Places

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…)

talkat.

Great thing and good idea (could be from me :slight_smile: )

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? :wink:

talkat.

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

talkat.

Great,

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

634 are still missing :frowning:

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 :slight_smile:

1276, polygons: 801

475 missing

Grand Total Places: 1277, polygons: 867

410 missing

Grand Total Places: 1278, polygons: 944

334 missing

Grand Total Places: 1310, polygons: 1074

236 missing

PS: we are also getting more places nodes

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.

Grand Total Places: 1285, polygons: 1149
136 missing

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
Qiryat Ata => http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/246849113

Anybody that can help ?

Grand Total Places: 1284, polygons: 1155

129 missing

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

Cheers! :slight_smile:

I believe we are below 100 with todays’ edits :wink:

talkat.

Great!

Please check our this area where I also not able to figure out what counts to what place:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=32.64355&lon=35.10308&zoom=15&layers=M&node=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. :slight_smile:

talkat.

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 ?

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