Ok, you want it, you’ll get it! Maybe some of you know the nice website: www.googlefight.com. You can enter two keywords and after that it starts a funny fight between these keywords. Based on the database of “How did you contribute to OpenStreetMap?” I created a similar website where you can set up a “fight” between OpenStreetMap contributors. The following picture shows an example fight:
I am very sure you have some ideas for further fights, don´t you?

wow 😀
nice one. but there should be a draw: http://osmfight.neis-one.org/?u1=kerosin&u2=kerosin
Thank you!
But c’mon, you can’t fight yourself! 😉
fixed 🙂
Yeah, you’re right, thanks for the quick fix.
But what about people with the same amount? Is there some kind of draw? I just saw that player2 was always earning points with equal statistic (so I won 0:5 against myself :))
I guess it would be just a minor change, because the statistic probabillity having the same statistic should be pretty low, but would be nice to have it implemented correct. Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!
Hahaa :)) this is very funny, i was at work and me and my friend from work have websites, and we calculated who wins if someone searches for our domain name.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
You forgot to post your osm nickname.
My OSM nickname is ‘pitscheplatsch’. But I’m not really an “uber-mapper”, I focus on programming cool things for OSM … 🙂
This website leaves out the quality of the contributions, as represented by the mean of the taggs added per object.
I could also map the buildings of the the whoole world using only building=yes, as tag, even if e.g. the roof shape could also be tagged from Bing, but this brings no further points on odbl.de (which is not a real user stat site in this kind) or this website.
If I want to make some points her or on odbl.de, I can also map the landuse from Bing using as most nodes als possible. But this does not help OSM nor is it a representation of the real data quality.
The number of object per user should so e.g. multiplied with the mean of the taggs added, which would better represent a user’s contributions.
I agree with you, but I see OSMfight more in a funny way which has not really something to do with the “quality of the contributions” of an OSM user. Do you know: http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?Fabi2
Hi there Pascal, rely a nice game that brings back fun and competition to our community 🙂
BTW, might it be possible to extend the battles on a few more aspects?
-number of posts in the forums
-number of edits in the wik
-number and quality on replys at help.osm.orgi
-number of submits to SVN
Even if this things have nothing todo withm mapping in general, this might show up, that they are important to us as well, to keep the community vibrant 🙂
Thank you very much!
I like your ideas and agree that further “rounds of fighting” might be interesting. But I think we have several problems if we do this: (1) Do I have easy access to this information? (2) Is the OSM user name equal to the wiki user name, SVN user name … ?
Thx 🙂
Well yes I understand but in most cases they might be equivalent. On the other hand there are Wiki Templates userboxes that hint to the right usernames (e.g. for me it’s ‘guardian’ for SVN) But I know it’s a lot of work :/
Would be great if it was possible to create an extended OSM profile: these are my nicks in OSM, wiki, Github, etc…
Hmm, I’m the last modifier of more ways than I’ve ever touched or created? (Same with nodes and relations)
There’s something not quite right.
Hi,
is “SveLil” your OSM user name? Do you know this site: http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?SveLil ? Sadly the created and touched stats are depending @ the full history dumps 🙁 The data date can you see at HDYC. I think you did a lot of contributions in the last weeks (after 2011-06-19). Is this correct?
Cheers,
Pascal
That’s the site, I got the stats from, and yes, I restarted mapping just recently.
Nice one! 🙂
But there is a bug: in case there is no winner per round (for example, both have 0 GPS tracks), it adds point to the one who have more points. Thats why I lost with my friend last time 😉
I think my friend Brian found a bug in the OSM Fight. Compare http://osmfight.neis-one.org/?u1=jaakkoh&u2=worldwidewolford and http://osmfight.neis-one.org/?u1=worldwidewolford&u2=jaakkoh … Same usernames fighting in different order => different result… Magic?
Hi Jaakko,
yes, it was a Date parsing error, caused by the latest “How did you contribute to OpenStreetMap”-update. Thank you very much 4 reporting!
Cheers,
Pascal
