| 63328552 | about 7 years ago | You appear to have forgotten to tag most of your buildings, leaving them as bare areas. I've fixed it, but it's something to keep in mind for the future. |
| 63289990 | about 7 years ago | If you're going to be adding buildings in the Spokane County area, try using Esri World Imagery as your background imagery. It's much sharper than Bing -- almost sharp enough to map the shingles on a roof. |
| 63245164 | about 7 years ago | Are you sure this is grassland? It looks pretty forest-like to me. |
| 62831406 | about 7 years ago | I don't know about that one, but the Rusty Moose is a pretty clear "amenity=restaurant, cuisine=american". |
| 62892241 | about 7 years ago | I think you're misinterpreting the "ways with long segments" issue: the problem isn't the length of the way, but the lack of nodes. When someone queries OSM for the geometry in an area, the OSM server finds all the nodes in the area, then looks for ways and relations associated with them. If a way passes through an area but doesn't have any nodes, it won't show up. The correct fix isn't to split the way, but to add more nodes. Somewhere between two and ten nodes per mile for a straight line is reasonable: more in dense areas like a city where someone's likely to download just a small part, less in sparse rural areas. |
| 62899835 | about 7 years ago | It looks like you forgot to include the "building=" tags on this batch. |
| 62892241 | about 7 years ago | I'm trying to figure out the reasoning for some of the "fixes" you made here. For example, you sliced up the Sanpoil River into about a dozen pieces without apparent reason; you did a similar split to part of the Ferry County/Okanogan County boundary. In other places, you've made apparently-trivial changes to way geometry, and I can't figure out *what* you changed about a power line near the Spokane airport. |
| 62831406 | about 7 years ago | Actually, our most important job is to make an accurate map. Sure, deleting keyword-stuffing is satisfying, but translating it into OSM tags makes a better map. |
| 62736892 | over 7 years ago | Unless something's changed since the last time I drove it, Wellesley curves around to become Valley Springs, with Havana and an unsigned road branching off to the left. It's not a squared-off intersection like you've drawn it. |
| 62723286 | over 7 years ago | Could you do your stuff in smaller pieces? Scattering it out like this makes it show up in the history view for everyone in the United States and most of Canada. A more descriptive comment than "Stuff" would be nice, too. Something along the lines of "Traced building outlines" or "Added parking lots", perhaps. |
| 62717947 | over 7 years ago | "Road closed" isn't a reason to delete a road, it's a reason to mark it as "No access". "Road gone" is a reason to delete, but all the aerial imagery I've looked at still shows this. |
| 62420963 | over 7 years ago | Thanks for the source. Looks like they might actually be going with that route -- the estimated costs are about right for a large bridge and some significant cuts. |
| 62599020 | over 7 years ago | Are you sure this is a service road? In the available imagery, it looks like a fairly standard two-lane road to me. |
| 62598551 | over 7 years ago | Are you sure some of these are tracks? Smyth Road in particular looked like an ordinary rural gravel road when I drove past it two years ago. |
| 62673362 | over 7 years ago | This reservoir doesn't show up on any aerial imagery or any of the street-level images of the area, and it's not on the Spokane Water Department's list of facilities. Thus, I'm forced to conclude that it doesn't exist, and is merely an attempt at attracting Pokemon. |
| 62540687 | over 7 years ago | Welcome to OSM! When you're adding something to the map, it's important to tag what sort of thing it is. Giving a basketball court a name describing it as such only helps people searching by name, while adding the "Basketball Court" tag lets people search by type, or do things like make a map highlighting every basketball court in the area. You can also change the background imagery shown in the editor: it's the "Background Settings" button on the right (the one that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper). In the Spokane area, the "Esri World Imagery" option is the sharpest imagery available, and it's good enough that you can tell there was a 3v3 basketball game going on when the aerial photo of the park was taken. |
| 57244515 | over 7 years ago | Some have, some haven't. |
| 62420963 | over 7 years ago | I suspect there's a fair bit of wishful thinking in this planned alignment. You'd need to build at least one large bridge and dig some significant cuts to actually fit it into the landscape. |
| 62389997 | over 7 years ago | Simply giving a point a name isn't much use. It's much better to say what sort of thing it is. In the case of a trailhead, the most common choice is to tag it as a parking lot, but there's also a "trailhead" tag that occasionally gets used. |
| 62206938 | over 7 years ago | A quick tip: if you're editing in the Spokane County area, "Esri World Imagery" is far sharper than the default Bing background imagery. You can change which imagery you're using by clicking on the "Background settings" button in the editor (the one that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper). |
