Hi ERIC TWUM-UEW, welcome to OSM. Please don't add duplicate ways to existing roads.

Hi Kingsford1234, the name Papa Joe Stadium covers the entire sports facilities, and has already been added. No need to add it to the pitch again, so I will remove it.

Hi BigKev97, that's a name, not a date, so changing it to match a date format is incorrect. Your changes have been reverted by changeset/179707497

Hi Kingenious, welcome to OSM. Please use Title Case for names instead of BLOCK LETTERS.

I'm glad you realise your mistake now. As I mentioned earlier, there are neighbourhoods within these suburbs that are yet to be mapped.
A lot of them can be seen as bus stop names. Akin to using street names as bus stop names in other parts of the world, we use neighbourhood names and landmarks in Ghana.

Hi Godfred_uew, it seems you enjoy using UPPER CASE a lot, but note that this is against OSM convention. You can look everywhere else on the map and notice that you are the only one doing that.

The name=* tag should always be in the title case except for acronyms.

Hi adam@1234, welcome to OSM. Note that most, if not all, major roads are already mapped. Before you map a road, check whether one already exists.

The name=* tag is for official road names. Avoid using tags you don't understand yet.

Hello Aliu_Paul, don't add amenity=school to every building. There is one amenity=school polygon mapped for the entire school, and that should be enough.
You can, however, change building=yes to building=school to denote they are school buildings.

Hi NACHINDI _ ABDUL _RAUF, you request a review for every changeset, but you don't heed the feedback.

You should map each building separately; mapping a cluster of buildings as a single unit is not good practice.

Somehow, your reply notification landed in my spam, and I'm only seeing this now.

There is no doubt that there were errors in those changes you reverted. I have fixed several of them after restoring the changes, and I agree way/1475246797 is not correctly mapped. It's not a path I would add to the map, and I believe it is okay to delete it outright.
Those tiny roads into the bush are typically tagged as tracks; that's correct.

My concern was that it's better to fix the mistakes than to erase valuable information that came along with them.

Hello NACHINDI _ ABDUL _RAUF, map each building separately. Mapping a cluster of buildings as single buildings is not proper mapping.

Once again, my apologies. I had no intention of spamming you; it just turned out I had further concerns after submitting a comment.

|These are streets with street names that do not allow vehicle traffic, versus simple footpaths.|
- The difference between highway=pedestrian vs highway=footway is not about having a name. Footways can also have names. Pedestrian highways are usually large enough for cars but are reserved exclusively for pedestrians and are typically found in city centres. That's why they are rendered as big as highway=residential, if not bigger.

| Footpaths often do not get rendered downstream |
- Footpaths (highway=footway and highway=path) are rendered.

|Deleted church: Pls identify via node id|
- At first glance, I thought the church was deleted. Now I notice parts of it have been reused elsewhere.

|suburbs vs neighborhoods - pls look at the definition for each|
- If you look around Accra New Town (suburb), you will find the neighbourhoods Akoa Ndor, Kpehe, Aryee Diki. I'm pretty sure we do understand the difference between a suburb and a neighbourhood.

| As an example - La is definitely a suburb, places like Ringway Estates, North Ridge and Asylum Down are NOT. |
- On what basis do you make this claim?

|A cluster of "suburb" nodes will only render one node in almost ALL downstream clients.|
- We are not tagging for the renderer. Just because suburbs are clustered doesn't mean we should demote some of them to neighbourhoods so that they can be "properly" rendered. Within these suburbs, there are neighbourhoods that are yet to be added to the map.

|Building=part has to be in a relation for it to be valid|
- building:part=yes doesn't have to be in a relation to be valid. They are used in Simple 3D Buildings.

| I don't map for a specific downstream client, so I'm not "mapping for the renderer" - I'm just trying to make sure that these areas and districts actually show up!|
- Mapping so that things "show up" is the classic definition of mapping for the renderer.

I'm sorry, but the more I look into this changeset, the more issues I find. Although valuable street names have been added, it will be a pain to nitpick and fix the data damage introduced in this changeset. I believe reversing this changeset would be the best solution.

As a non-local, why do you downgrade suburbs to neighbourhoods? And why do you remove details of the transport network relations?

178605297

I notice that you've also deleted a church; any reason for that?

178605297

Hello Greg_Rose, you've added a number of footpaths here with the tag highway=pedestrian. I think highway=footway or highway=path would be more suitable.

178625439

Hello, kindly desist from deleting addresses or anything you don't have sufficient knowledge of.

This changeset has been revert via changeset/178628272

178577107

Hello, don't add made-up names to roads or any other object. "road link to a village" is not a name.

Tag the polygons around settlements with landuse=residential instead of place=*.

178481523

A post office box address is not a postcode. I'll advise you stop adding "addr:postcode"="P.O.BOX 19" to all the objects you map.

178481704

Hi Godfred_uew, you have added EMRYSTECH SOLUTION two times. Which is the correct location?

The names of places should not be ALL UPPER CASE; using Title Case is the acceptable practice in OSM.

178465531

Hi FLPREKO, avoid adding generic names to show what an object is. The name=* tag is used for recognised or official names. Change building=yes to building=school to denote that it's a school building.

I will remove those in this changeset, but take note for future edits.
