You can keep the metadata in your privately stored version. It's not needed or useful in OSM. Each object in OSM has its own metadata, which is not added to the tags.

creation_date, Creator, Editor, and surveyor_name all need to go.

ambulance, electricity_available, level_of_care, and staffing are not standard keys. Check amenity=hospital, amenity=clinic, healthcare=* for tags that may be appropriate.

I think emergency=no is better suited for ambulance=no. Creator can be replaced with source=*.

Please check the links for better tag combinations.

Hello Seemaslimits,
Welcome to OSM and thanks for your contribution. Kindly note that OSM uses standardised tags to map features, e.g. healthcare=* for health facilities, which you have rightly used. However, metadata like creation_date, edit_date, etc., that you have included in the tags are not necessary. After a survey, you need to clean the data and upload only what is necessary for OSM.

Hi Beatrice Agboglah, welcome to OSM. In this changeset and the previous one, you have deleted building polygons and replaced them with subpar unorthogonal polygons.
You are currently not improving what exists, so I will advise you, as a beginner, to focus on mapping buildings that haven't already been traced.

Hello Abdul Rahman78, welcome to OSM.

You need to understand the changes you're making before saving them.

Do not delete mapped buildings with all attributes, replacing them with low-quality ones.
Tracing over existing buildings is also unacceptable.

Understand the highway=* tags before using them: the roads within KNUST are not highway=primary.

Try to fix the warnings that are highlighted when saving your changes.

There are many issues with your changeset, so I have to revert it. As a beginner, focus on adding data at places where there is none. Modifying existing data that you may not fully understand may cause more harm than good.

Hi Escapade6850, if the shop has moved, you should move the node to the new location rather than removing tags. If it's already added at the new location, you should delete the old one.

Hi XXTENTATION, the name=* tag is used for official or recognised name of places. Using descriptions such as "field" is discouraged. Similarly, operator=* also takes a name. Physical tags such as amenity=bank or leisure=pitch describe what the object is, so it's unnecessary to add that as names.

Hi Samuel Asante, use building=yes to map buildings. area=yes doesn't mean anything.

Hi puplampu, don't use descriptions in the name=* tag. "uncompleted building" isn't a name.

Hi ERIC TWUM-UEW, it's bad practice to trace over existing objects and give them the same tags. There's no use for that. From recent imagery, there is a building here instead.

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.
