Hello haihaus,

Just a friendly reminder to check different imageries when you're adding features to the map. If you look at Esri imagery (which is more recent than Bing imagery), there are some houses that have been constructed in the southwest corner of this farmland. I have gone ahead and updated the landuse accordingly.

Thanks!

Hello ryfoster,

Thanks for updating this golf course! Remember to add detailed changeset comments so that other editors know what projects you're working on. "update" is vague and doesn't help other mappers and moderators.

Thanks,

Hello Devin,

I appreciate your hard work adding landuse. However, please do not combine disconnected landuse areas into a single multipolygon. This makes it a big pain to edit later on down the road. I also do not recommend creating multipolygons with shared lines at the edge; creating single ways for each landuse area works just fine and is less of a hassle to maintain.

Hello sheidsa,

Thanks for your contributions. Just a note, the name= tag should only be used on highways when there is an official name that is used on signage. Descriptive names like "Milton Stateline Seventh Day Adventist School Pick-up & drop off" are not necessary.

Otherwise, keep up the good work!

Hello trailrunner13,

I've noticed that a lot of your changesets have similar and somewhat vague comments. It helps other mappers if you leave a comment that includes what you're editing, and the rough geographic area of your edits. Thanks!

Hello apgosm,

Thank you for contributing to OSM as part of the Uber Mapping team! As a reminder, roads should not be connected (i.e. sharing nodes) to buildings. This is technically incorrect topography-wise, and can cause issues with routing and implementation.

Also, I checked Esri imagery of this site and can see that this driveway and building have been demolished and the lot is now a construction site. Remember to check newer imagery when adding features.

Thanks,

Hello fivehe,

Thank you for your help in adding buildings! However please be conscious of what imagery you are using when mapping. Mapbox imagery tends to be very outdated; if you look at the most recent Esri imagery, some of these buildings you added have now been demolished. I'm not familiar with JOSM, but there should be some way to view the date that the imagery was taken, if available.

Thanks!

Hello likeToTravel,

Please try and add descriptive changeset comments before you submit a changeset. This helps others to review your changeset and see how you've been contributing. From reading your comment on this changset, I have no idea what edits were made.

Thanks,

Wow what kind of doofus would add the letter w to the end of a surface tag. Couldn't be me

Hello LiudmilaBareika,

Thanks for adding these missing roads! However, it looks like some of them should be tagged as highway=unclassified instead of highway=residential, since this doesn't seem to be a residential area.

Thanks!

Hello SirPerfluous,

Thank you for your work in adding houses! This is something that needs to be done all over the area. However, in the future, please used the "Q" keyboard shortcut to make sure that the corners of the buildings are square. Otherwise, they look ugly when you zoom in on the map.

Thanks!

Hello again,

Thank you for editing OpenStreetMap. I noticed that you tagged the new road surrounding Riverwalk Estates as "highway=secondary." For future reference, roads such as this should be tagged as "highway=service," possibly with "service=parking_aisle." Make sure to click the (i) button next to any tag if you're ever unsure about its use. Thanks!

Hello aricclark,

How did you verify that this portion of Zintel Way is completed and open to traffic?

Hello Grintal! For future reference, please only use the name= box for official names of features.

Ugh, I totally goofed Second Ave too. Fixed that as well

Thanks for catching that!
