Hey Anne,

It looks like the two large buildings are adjacent. See regular Esri;
osm.org/edit#background=EsriWorldImagery&map=19/52.666697/-7.253590
North side is only grey, south side is grey roof with white walls.
The original location was aligned better, I assume it has not changed since the building is new. The current location overlaps with an -overshadowed- walled, paved area in Esri Clarity.
Also, Bing is distorted here.
https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=157538809

If you did not see the small shed during survey, perhaps it was a temporary construction building/vehicle. (not sure you are able to see it from the street, however.)

The changeset only lists Bing and Clarity oddly enough, though I am sure you would've already checked.

Yes, correct. Thanks for the reply.
I added the check date tag in

Hey MapMeDaddy,

Could you verify this POI still exists, please?
(write a reply to this changeset if you can)
If it does I can add a check date if the quest is not available for you.
Let me know when you can.
Unfortunately, there is currently no imagery of this side of the building.

Regards,

Daniel

Thank you for removing this POI.
Yes, there was some kind of Medieval Mile information column or similar here, but it is no longer there. The original position is still visible in the tiling.
This and a few other information markers were repositioned or demolished at the same time.

Are you sure it is private, not customers?

Is the survey point demolished?
If so, please indicate it as such.

Hey DjaRiver,

There seems to be some grass (lightgreen) visible on the left/west side of the road on Bing. (ignore the tree)
Also, this area is aligned to Mapbox.

I have looked at the aerial imagery again and tried to improve the accuracy.
https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=155024431
(the alignment is similar to the previous version)

What do you think?

Hey SerendipitySue,

Thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap.

I added the public bookcase and misc. details for the bicycle repair.
- node/12090424210
- node/11943535043

If you have any feedback, or something is missing, let me know.

It would be useful if you could add a clear, close-up, up-to-date image of the public bookcase and specify what kind of books the public bookcase is intended for (children and/or adults).

Hey Omnific,

node/11335962713
Are you sure there is a milk churn stand here?
If so, could you provide the source you used, if possible, please?
Otherwise, I would suggest correcting the tagging yourself, or removing the object. If you are unsure how to tag it, ask on
community.openstreetmap.org

Removed defibrillator manufacturer. adding it was a misunderstanding. Only the cabinet is visible. It comes from the retailer.

Hey mueschel,

Sorry, I will try to clean these up myself.

Hey Stefan,

Please try to describe your changes and reason for your changes in the changeset comment when saving your edits. This allows other mappers to verify your edits and make changes when needed.
osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

The current comment(=description) on your changesets do not describe your changes, only the generic object your are changing. It helps to add if it is addition ('added'), modification ('modified', 'tweaked') or removal ('removed'), and if it is about certain tags or about the geometry, where appropriate to describe the change better.
Of course if you are changing multiple objects you do not have to describe every single change, just what your motivation is ('adding POIs', 'updated POIs', 'corrected road geometry')
You also do not have to describe every changeset, especially if you're travelling. If needed you can always leave a reply to describe further, even if it looks odd in history if there is only a single reply.

Also, try to add the sources you are using, such as aerial imagery, 'local knowledge', 'survey', etc. This is not always added/accurate in editors by default.

Furthermore, in this case it may be useful to know if the log seems artificial/deliberately placed here or is a fallen tree (not always tagged correctly), if it spans across the full path, etc. You can add this in the changeset comment and additionally to the object as a "description" or "note"(, and sometimes as physical properties such as 'width', 'height')

-Grammatical- jokes like below changeset ('well well well') are okay, but without context some changes may become hard to understand, and may be considered fun/troll/spam-only edits by other mappers, which do not belong in OpenStreetMap(, even if data quality is okay). It seems you moved the tags from the node to the area (to deduplicate the object). The change itself seems fine as far as I can see.
changeset/96829487
(for example 'moved tags from duplicate well node to area' / 'changed well from node to area' / 'removed duplicate well')

If you're travelling, consider using a mobile editor like Vespucci and complementary editors such as StreetComplete.
(different editors have different focus, may support different tags)
osm.wiki/Editors#Mobile
(it will add changeset comments but these are not always descriptive enough, nor are the tags added always correct. You will have to check this yourself sometimes, like for access tags.)

If possible, could you elaborate on the cause and appearance, please?

Regards,

Daniel

Looks like that area got mostly null edits (no change but registered as a change by the application), or you (by accident) tried to straighten or reverse direction of some ways.

Hey Vivek Dumre,

This changeset is very large. It is hard to see what was changed, even with QA applications (geometry changes preview may not load).
You should separate your edits into multiple changesets where possible.
See
osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets
Understandably, this was likely done by accident.
This is also the case for
changeset/151795340

Remember to try adding a 'good changeset comment' to every changeset which describes your changes sufficiently. There are changes to multiple other objects while you have only written 'added road'. I.e.
way/231329662

See also comment at
changeset/151514175
In case you are not notified already.

Regards,

Daniel

Hey Vivek Dumre,

Thank you for taking your time to review changesets for your open mapping hub's program.

I would recommend you focus on 'New mapper' changesets, especially those with 'Review requested' label.
You can also use the 'Filters' => 'Reasons for Flagging' to get only these changesets, or use the 'Location' filter to get only changesets in a certain area. i.e. it may be useful to look only at the area which is the focus of your open mapping hub, where you have the most experience. Local mapping guidelines elsewhere may differ from what you are used to.

You're welcome to review more experienced mappers' changesets, though try to avoid reviewing multiple by the same user in this case, unless reviewing as bad. Also, some users do not like such 'thank you for mapping' messages as they may appear copy-pasted and do not contain any feedback on how to improve mapping, which may be wasting your and/or the users' time.
Though, your comment otherwise looks fine of course.

In the future, try to link to the objects in question and try to explain how to resolve the issue, please. (at least one or two good examples.)
Here, I don't know what you were refering to. It could be
I.e. The building
way/156354822/history
is slightly too large, is not rotated correctly, has an extension...
Have since modified both buildings from this changeset. Noteably, it is not the first version of the building outlines and the geometry did not change even slightly -which may happen if I add a building part and square the full object-. See OSMCha preview or
https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=151514175
There was only a roof building part added and some empty nodes -by accident- which were left over from aligning the POI nodes.
It is unlikely to be relevant to discuss the geometry of the existing building with a mapper who only added a building part or modified the POIs. (besides, building parts are usually only added by experienced users.)

For geometry issues, it is important to mention what imagery you are using. The recommended imagery may differ in other locations than you are used to and layers such as Esri and Esri Clarity are only available in editor applications. They are *not* available from OSMCha.

Sidenote: areas such as this where the sides of buildings are visible in aerial imagery (or where they are on a slope) may have an offset applied to some objects to match their footprint. Also, some street level imagery and GPS traces may have been aligned to existing (old) mapping by the application (or are simply too poor), therefore can not be used to determine the precise location of objects.
This may not be directly useful to you as reviewer but it helps to understand why some objects may be at a (seemingly) incorrect position.

Regards,

Daniel
