The Girl That Does The Mapping
August 2023, my bike helmet got stolen and I reported it to the Gardaí (for crime statistics reasons). Got a phone call yesterday (!!!), could I come in and give statement. Was told that they couldn't follow up, bc there is no CCTV in the area. I beg to differ. Yellow is where my bike was parked. #opendata #OpenStreetMap
Part 1 of a 2 to 4 part series; I don't know yet, depends on whether I get to see a few of them in person: https://youtu.be/sCoOIan3G9Y.

The odds are stacking up: I write the wiki page for lifting stones, and the same day my friend asks me whether I want to go to a book launch about stone lifting the next day. I write the proposal for settlement=transhumance, and same week #TimeTeam has a video about a possible shieling. Weird. #OpenStreetMap #BaaderMeinhofEffect
Kilkenny County Council have published yet another document full of maps derived from OpenStreetMap without any attribution. Rather than me having to manually compare their maps with OSM and Táilte Éireann data and wasting time I could spend mapping, I would appreciate a tool doing that for me - "Is it OSM?". Green boxes are OSM, red are TÉ. #copyright #OpenStreetMap
In preparation for a video I've been meaning to make for ages, I've started a wiki page for lifting stones. Please feel free to add information, if you know any more about the topic: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dlifting_stone.

I'm not gonna make any friends in Norway or Scotland with this, but may I officially propose a new tag settlement=transhumance:

Of the 10 potential unrecorded archaeological sites I reported to the National Monuments Service yesterday, 6 have been confirmed as news sites, 1 was already recorded by them, but in the wrong location, and two are natural; still waiting to hear back on the last. Of the 6 new monuments, 4 are booleying (transhumance) sites, & now I'm considering a new tagging scheme for them. I'm thinking historic=archaeological_site + archaeological_site=settlement + settlement=transhumance. #OpenStreetMap
Just finished mapping the North Co. Kerry task, finally, after 5 1/2 years!!! I personally mapped 1,211 tasks and have already validated 669, but there's a lot more validating needed: https://tasks.openstreetmap.ie/projects/46/tasks/.

I'm working on a #uMap of all my #Sketchfab models (http://u.osmfr.org/m/1380431/) which is taking for-e-ver. I wish it was an in-built feature on Sketchfab, if people wanted to add coordinates to their #photogrammetry scans. I guess I'm spoiled from #LinkedOpenData in the #Wikiverse and #OpenStreetMap.
Part 2 of the tutorial about adding historic buildings to #Wikidata: https://youtu.be/5KydQwvBelQ?is=h4ylEbEBGnHHkumm #opendata
I'm sure there will be a mapping tutorial at some point again, meanwhile, inspired by my college course, here's a tutorial on #Wikidata: https://youtu.be/cwzBfV2bg_g

Spotted this possible moated site very late last night while mapping, just when I was about to shut down for the night. I've reported it to the National Monuments Service today. It's about 60m across. Unfortunately, the townland name Ballygowney is post-Cromwell, so no help historically. But the field name might be Seanchúirt, unless that applies to the other field with a moated site in the same townland. First image is Esri Clarity, second Bing imagery. #archaeology #IrishArchaeology
And speaking of colonised Ireland, here's a video I just finished editing for the Kilkenny Archaeological Society about Roman archaeology in Ireland: https://youtu.be/0M57pt__y6A

First "proper" video in ages, but it's a bit of a mess: https://youtu.be/kLMhJZO2UW8

It's a very niche subject, but maybe I can peak someone's interest. https://youtu.be/PQ1dk2I8gWw
Contributions on #Wikimedia and #Wikidata are also very welcome!
