@Warin61, this is just my opionion here but this is @Nhadaya's first edit to OSM and I feel your comment could have been worded in a slightly more welcoming way.

@Nhadaya welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing, you can check out the beginners guide at osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide.

As Warin mentioned about how to map houses, you might want to check out building=* which shows how different building types can be mapped in OSM.

It looks like the ones you mapped have been fixed up by others, but something you can try for next time.

You could use craft=plumber so people know this is the workspace or office of a plumber. craft=plumber

Other information like contact number, website, address can be added directly to the feature, like you've done for the name.

It was accepted practice in OSM to map what's one the ground osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what.27s_on_the_ground. So if the street sign says Mibri Close and the legislation says Mirri Close, then we map name=Mibri Close, and put Mirri Close in one of the alt names and not the other way around.

Hi @swanilli, I'd like to remove the description (closed) from the name. I'd even be okay with no name on this way since I've never seen a sign pointing out this path with a name.

"Sourced From RMS" Also keep in mind you can't copy information from other maps. It's better to add information from a ground survey.

Thanks for fixing up the geometry.

I'm not sure about https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/384742094. The name tag isn't meant to contain access descriptions like "(closed)". What is there on the ground that actually indicates that this track is closed? What does closed even mean here?

It looks like there is an access=discouraged tag, but it needs something on the ground indicating that otherwise it's purely subjective.

Could you please explain what this is? If you want to tag a backyard swimming pool, use leisure=swimming_pool, access=private.

I'll do a ground survey to confirm its a fitness station. I thought they might be adding some kind of fitness club which is run there.

What's node/4380573190 ?

41867680 over 8 years ago

I've changed node/4380628789/history to use club=sport rather than shop=sport

I don't think it's a coincidence that their PO box number matches the number used for the Street Address "Postal Address: Po Box 52, Glenbrook, NSW 2773" especially given there is no 52 Commerce Lane. Looks like SEO spam. So +1 to remove.

There is something visible in the imagery, but I don't know exactly what it is. Probably how they get the toboggans back up.

leisure=nature_reserve

leisure=park

49760363 over 8 years ago

It looks good to me from the LPI Imagery (it's the area in between the dual carriage way of Palace Street.

Though I'd tag it as leisure=park instead, as leisure=nature_reserve is "A protected area of importance for wildlife, flora, fauna or features of geological or other special interest." which doesn't seem right here.

Bonus points for tracing out the area as a polygon rather than a point.

also for way/45646092
way/438360193

I think it's better to tag a multiuse pitch as sport=netball;basketball than having two overlapping ways, after all there is only one pitch, it just happens to serve two different sports.

6404798 over 8 years ago

I'm okay with them being separate ways.

Physically the whole area is one platform, but logically (in terms of the network and naming) each side is a different platform.

So for simplicity, I'm happy with these being separate ways, without the relation with a shared border that way we have tags for the different platforms but anyone can post process the two ways sharing the common edge into one if they'd prefer that..

41606327 over 8 years ago

Looks like way/6393754 already existed before, we should keep that way and just update the geometry. Or at the very least delete the old way when adding one with geometry not snapped to the road.

43110299 over 8 years ago

This looks okay. I'm happy to have landuse=retail a little wider, but I favour keeping landuse polygons no larger than 1 block to avoid overlapping roads etc.

49058574 over 8 years ago

That's okay, at least now you know. I've already fixed up the deletions.

49289356 over 8 years ago

I've gone ahead and restored the deleted features from this changeset. If you have done a ground survey and know the current use/state of the building please update it's tags.
