Hello mappers!

I’ve recently installed JOSM. It indeed makes mapping a lot easier. However I don’t understand how to create islands. When I try, they don’t render correctly, so I assume i’m doing something wrong.

I have an example: I’m currently trying to create two islands in a huge river: [Topech Island] (https://opengeofiction.net/relation/139549#map=13/-39.2806/14.8422), and [Notchien Island] (https://opengeofiction.net/relation/139550#map=12/-39.3494/14.8408). If I remember correctly, I created the coastline on JOSM, created a multipolygon and then went on the ID editor to tag the multipolygon as Island.

However, the islands aren’t showed on the map, only their names are. What did I do wrong?

Thanks and happy mapping!

Solved, thanks for the help

Hey guys! I’ve recently gained ownership of a territory, that I called Oxhano, and I’ve just finished the first city/village of the country! Here it is, it’s called Techami City

What do you think of it?

Thanks

Many people said it before, but territory requests are taking way too long to be approved. I have requested a territory at the beginning of September, the admin told me it would take a few days for them to approve my request. A month later, I messaged them again to remind them of my request, and 3 days after they told me they’ve been dealing with a lot of issues but that they would get back to me soon. Since I hadn’t heard from them for months, I messaged them again towards the end of December, asking them if they had an idea of how long it would take them to approve my request. I haven’t heard from them since.

So i have 3 questions for you guys: 1-Do you have any idea what could be the ‘issues’ the admins are dealing with? 2-Has a similar experience happened to you? 3-If you asked for a territory but did not receive it yet, for how long have you been waiting?

Honestly, I think they should recruit some admins that would work only on accepting territory requests, cause right now it’s problematic.
