Hey noname1313, just noticed a lamp post decided to take a 0.5 mile trip to the west here (node/12366069295/history/2), so I've escorted it back home. Just a heads up that iD can sometimes move objects when you're clicking and dragging around. Thanks for all your work otherwise, take care.

Haha fair, I'll update the tags, I was just worried people might start driving to this place if I tagged it with more detail, but I guess there can be other tags to prevent that too, thank you.

Hi Grawat, appreciate your countless changesets on behalf of Lyft for OSM. Just to make you aware, Monmouth Mall is being completely redeveloped, and they're actively demolishing many of the parking lots and parking aisles here - the removal of the aisles are correct per survey.

Hi Josh112, welcome to OSM, and congrats on your first changeset! When editing, accuracy is important as completeness; try to trace building areas for where there are buildings, not just an area covering the lot! It's no worries, I've improved on your work since.

Hi Johnny111101, I've reverted this changeset because the tunnel you've changed from a rail ferry line does not exist. I'm assuming you're trying to add a long-proposed tunnel at this location (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Harbor_Rail_Tunnel), but given that it's not funded nor out of environment review, adding this now is too premature for OpenStreetMap. The map we are working to build here should represent ground truth, and without strong evidence otherwise, it should generally not be added to the map. I encourage you to check out the wiki on best practices for editing: osm.wiki/Good_practice

Hi there, I've reverted this changeset because the Supreme Court only ruled on the distinction between the original island and subsequent landfill specifically for Ellis Island. The court didn't apply this distinction to Liberty Island. The 1834 Compact granting Liberty island to NY still holds until challenged: "The state of New York shall retain its present jurisdiction of and over Bedlow’s and Ellis’s islands" (US Statues at Large, Volume 4, Page 708-711).

Hey thank you for checking, yeah just realizing those interpolation tags are meant for address ways. I'll remove those and also tag the addr:housenumber here more explicitly.

On further review, I've decided to revert this changeset because it appears to be fictitious from my local knowledge. While there are some proposals for revitalizing Liberty State Park, there are no plans for apartments or structures in this location: https://dep.nj.gov/revitalizelsp/cleanup-restoration-resilience/

Hi Gustavo, what was your reasoning for this edit? It seems like you added construction areas that don't exist, and removed a named garden.

Temporarily removed woods landuse surrounding MHSS while reworking landuse

Hey there, this changeset seems to have moved a node for Pier 66a (1854496126) and attached it to the North River Tunnels; I've corrected this for you, cheers :b

Hi there Freeholdman12; this changeset turned Tatum Park into a gigantic building, which seems to have been a mistake. I've gone ahead and fixed this for you. In the future, please heed the warnings the iD editor shows before submitting your changeset!

That's a good point CurlingMan, I was honestly worried this huge edit would render on the raster map, so I think I tagged the whole line on -3 in the hopes it would disappear if it did ahaha

Hey clay_c, I don't remember exactly... but, my best guess was that I used both the EIS (which showed completed sections of the tunnel box) and the photo. The EIS was showing slightly further construction different than the photo, and I think I approximated the ends to account for uncertainty?
If you did see imagery years ago, and the photo backed up what you saw, you've got ground truth on your side; feel free to correct my mistake (I'm not sure how to do it myself)

Hi MxxCon, thanks for your feedback. I understand your concerns about presentness and clutter from non-existing features. It's completely fair to treat proposed-lifecycle elements with skepticism.

When publishing this, I considered community discussions about proposed-lifecycle elements from the OSM Wiki. While consensus isn't yet clear, one suggested approach was to only allow these elements in exceptional circumstances.

I felt that the Hudson River Tunnel project qualifies as exceptional. It has verifiable sources lending to its momentum and credibility: public documentation, brownfields with ownership signage, regulatory approval of environmental impact reports, and evolving press coverage. I've tried to add this context to every element. The urgency of this project to replace the degrading North Tunnels adds even more relevance.

While I agree that OSM should strive for data that is ground verifiable, I think there are some exceptions where proposed elements could enrich OSM's data even before construction begins. This project is one such exception: it can help contextualize developments across different brownfields and make it easier for future mappers to update over time.

If you'd like, we can certainly propose guidelines to the wider OSM community (the Wiki) for properly strict and verifiable uses of proposed-lifecycle elements. I will continue to periodically update these elements as the Hudson River Tunnel progresses!

Hey InsertUser, thanks for pointing this out, sorry for the delay. I used a map from Royal Carribean, and I didn't realize this fell under copyright. I'm sorry. While the dock, pools and buildings I added are visible (well, under construction) in imagery; the circular paths around the inlet, the zipline, and the names were from from the map. I can remove what I derived if that works.

Apologies for the wide bounding box for this edit, it seems that way/760603488 is a huge part of the southern shoreline of the Raritan River
