I reverted the changeset. hope that helps save you the effort @btwhite92.

@flappy next time consider being a bit more respectful and clean it up instead of asking someone else to do it for you.

osm.wiki/WikiProject_Waterways/River_modernization indicates that only the waterway ways should have a name and the water areas should be unnamed.

at least one or two bridges now end in the water too. this should be corrected via 3dep/lidar. aerial imagery around here is not very accurate due to the steep cliffs.

is this officially named SUNSET 7:30PM somewhere? :-)

is there a ford there? looks like it could have a culvert

when doing big changes like this if you could break it up into smaller related commits it would make it much easier to review. thanks for the edits!

trail_visibility and sac_scale go on ways, not on relations - you'll need to move them over for most apps to use them. this is shown on the wiki under "Used on these elements", see sac_scale=* for an example.

this also allows you to split up the trail condition, like alpine_hiking=class 2 scrambling, where it actually exists as well as increasing visibility where there are well established use trails.

if it's less of a trail and more of a cairned route then we've been naming it as such.

like most things on OSM there are some guidelines but no universal standard... ford=* is a reference.

around here I try to follow this: if you need to think about how to cross a stream towards the beginning of backpacking season ford=yes is good. if it's something you can step over, or it is usually dry (once the nearby snow melts) it probably should not be marked. there are thousands (like hundreds of thousands) of streams mapped in the Sierra, mostly due to crappy data from NHD imports, and most of them are benign. lots of real fords are missing though - some major ones are still missing! so try to tag it where it's important, not everywhere a trail crosses a waterway on osm.

(also feel free to delete waterways that don't exist :)

it looks like this change inadvertently moved the wilderness boundary - can you fix it? also the trail should probably be informal=yes

are all of those ford=yes nodes actually fords? there are a lot of NHD imported streams in here that aren't legit or are way too small to be a ford

looks good, I added the old trail back with lifecycle tags. this helps prevent it from being added back with regular highway tags - it takes a few years for trails to disappear from satellite/strava/etc imagery.

I believe the current practice is to add waterway=flowline instead of deleting ways through lakes - this allows the waterway relation to be continuous - relation/12859915 has a gap now

howdy. stop numbers should be captured in the ref= tag, not name= according to osm.wiki/Buses and (by standard convention) osm.wiki/Names

can you verify and correct these? thanks! :)

I reverted this change

I moved the general idea over to the name= tag, name is not a place to add arbitrary information about a parking lot

I moved this name to the description tag in 183989838

howdy, welcome to OSM. these updates are welcome but should be tagged as description= instead of osm.wiki/Tag:name=. read take a look at osm.wiki/Names for a bit of discussion around best practices.

I noticed that node/65851931/history is tagged "Tehneta Pass Airport" - is this correct? On the USGS maps it is listed as "Tehneta Pass".

is 峽 the most common translation for a mountain pass or saddle point?
