Hello Suleiman,
Thank you for your contributions to the OpenStreetMap project, and apologies for reaching out again.
I noticed that you changed the classification of several streets to "motorway," for example: "way155613023, way421884395, and way570487458."
I believe it may be more appropriate to revert these roads to their previous classification, as the current classification may not fully reflect their actual function. According to the Morocco road tagging guidelines on the OSM Wiki, the road signs present on these roads indicate that they should be classified as "trunk" rather than motorway:
(osm.wiki/Morocco#Road_tagging:~:text=Expressways%20%28Voies%20express%29)
Additionally, Mapillary imagery shows the same road sign on this road segment:
(https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=296600095385945)
If you have a different point of view, we would appreciate it if you could share it with us along with your sources. Otherwise, could you please review these changes and revert them accordingly?
Thank you again for your efforts and for helping to improve the map.
Best regards,
Aya

Hello AustinAkaHadiRender,
Thank you for responding to us quickly, and we are all here to help each other.
yes you are right. The street name is added according to the nature of the country and its language. where users add the Arabic name value in the "name" and "name ar" tag, and English name in "name en" tag, based on OSM policy to add names for streets. You can check that here:
name="Arabic Name"
name:ar="Arabic Name"
name:en="English Name"
Second: OSM policy does not support the feature of shortening road names like "St" or "Rd", you should write full words like "Road" or "street". You can check the wiki for details to add street names without abbreviations: osm.wiki/Abbreviations
It is pleasure to help!!!
Best regards,
Aya

Hi AustinAkaHadiRender,
Thank you for your contribution to OpenStreetMap
I noticed that you've added new street names, but in a way that violates OpenStreetMap. Please, you can check the wiki for details to add street names in Syria: osm.wiki/Syria#Street_Names:~:text=CC%20BY%204.0.-,Street%20Names,-Example%20of%20Street
The street name is added according to the nature of the country and its language. For example: way/136473075, way/965255724. These examples are in the United Arab Emirates, where users add the Arabic name value in the name and name er tag, and English name in name en tag, based on OSM policy to add names for streets. You can check that here:
name=*
Also, you shouldn't add a ref number in name, name ar, and name en tags, like this way/184542352, way/94728364, way/112188572,
way/112188584; you should add the ref number in the ref tag. This page will also teach you how to add a ref tag: ref=*
And also, you shouldn't have added a destination value to the name, name-ar, and name-en tags like this way/1318993645; you should have added the destination value to the destination key. You can check the wiki for details:
destination=*.
Finally, if you have any descriptions, you can write them in the description tag, not in name tags. You can check the wiki for details:
description=*
In the end, could you please share with me "the name and ref" sources you used them
Best regards,
Aya

Hi Ilias_,
Thank you. I fixed that, but the video I sent previously was a mistake. I apologize for that. We added "sidewalk=both" because there's a sidewalk in the square shown at minute 2:47 in this video:

Hi Ilias_,
We added "sidewalk=both" because there's a sidewalk in the square shown in the 10th second in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdf2qcVRsYE
, which shows someone walking on the sidewalk of the square

Hi thaccio,
Thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap!
I noticed that you've changed the classification of some streets to
tertiary_link
For example:
way/88506033
way/701127191
way/88505982
way/701127190
I believe it might be better to revert to the previous classification,
as the current classification may not fully match its actual function. You can check that in the OSM wiki: highway=tertiary_link
Could you please review these changes and revert them?
Thank you again for your efforts and for helping to improve the map!

Aya

Hi Cyrille37,
Thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap!
Could you please share with me the reason you changed road classification to secondary_link road in this "way/470073512"
I think it would be better to have a road classification tertiary
What do you think?
