Is the name of this actually "Residential Development"? The "name" field for objects should only be used for actual names, not descriptions.

Wouldn't it make more sense to draw a "landuse=residential" around the entire apartment complex and name it "Eagle Point Apartments", rather than putting the apartment-complex name on each building individually?

"I Street" is already on the map as a residential road. What were you trying to do here?

The "apartments" tag is for apartment *buildings*, not apartment *complexes*. Applying it to an apartment complex causes the complex to be drawn as a single very large building.

Is this actually a road named "private driveway"? If it's an ordinary driveway, the correct way to mark it as such is a road type of "driveway" with an allowed access of "private". The "name" field should only be used for actual names.

Since when has Pinecroft Natural Area Preserve been a military area?

The classification of places is based on their size, not on the official name. That said, I agree that Pullman is probably large enough to be classified as a city rather than a town.

Landuse tags should indicate "what it's actually used for", not "what it's zoned for".

Based on the Liberty Park map at https://my.spokanecity.org/parks/finder/, it's not part of the park.

I haven't been to the park recently, but aerial imagery shows the block north of Liberty Park Place as a brown, weed-filled lot, where the area south of the road is well-watered, well-maintained grass.

That map dates from 1956, back when Havermale Island was an industrial area surrounding a railroad station. The island was completely re-shaped for the 1974 World's Fair, and is currently undergoing another major renovation.

I've used the "destroyed" lifecycle prefix (osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix) for buildings that have been burned down or otherwise destroyed by disaster. It's common for them to be rebuilt on the same foundation with the same roof outline, and this preserves the information for future use.

I don't think it's accurate to describe this section of MLK Way as "open for traffic": as of half an hour ago, the "road closed" construction barriers were still up at the intersection with Sherman.

"boundary=national_park" is a general-purpose "large protected area" tag. The "protected_area" tagging system gives more precision, but until more map renderers understand it, double-tagging national forests as national parks is fairly standard practice.

"boundary=forest" is rarely used, and does not appear to be understood by any map renderer.

The correct tagging for a geyser is "natural=geyser", not "natural=volcano".

Don't do that -- Google isn't on the list of acceptable sources. If you need more recent imagery, Mapbox Satellite and USGS Large Scale Imagery both tend to be newer than Bing, and are freely usable (if lower resolution).

By what stretch of the imagination does Spokane have a population of nearly three-quarters of a million people?

Please don't attach things to roads that aren't actually part of the road, like you did with Greenacres Elementary in this edit. It makes it a pain to edit those roads to to add things like speed-limit changes.

Probably an editing mix-up.

Where did you get the idea that there was a traffic signal at the intersection of Spokane Falls and Sherman? It was a four-way stop when I drove through this afternoon.

I don't know what this building is supposed to represent, but there's no building there. I've deleted it.
