Yes, if you can get a photo of the building with the "90" address visible, then it would be fine to change. I'm not sure what the postal city would be in that case, though—I guess San Jose since the nearby Cupertino addresses are all in the 100xx range. And yes, a separate point for the other address would be good too.

It's far more likely that the 7-11 website is wrong than the USPS website. I tried all combinations of 90 and 10058 in the street address, and Cupertino and San Jose as the city, in their address lookup tool ( https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress ), and 10058 + Cupertino was the only one of the four that returned any result.

addr:city is for postal city, not physical city. Indeed, this location is physically within San Jose, as can be seen by the borders, but according to USPS, letters delivered here should have "Cupertino" in the city line, likely since it's served by a Cupertino post office.

Welcome to OSM and thanks for contributing! Names in OSM should always have their abbreviations expanded—see osm.wiki/Abbreviations . I've gone ahead and replace "N" with "North" and "S" with "South."

It can also be helpful for searching and editors working with old data to keep the old business information under a "disused" prefix: osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

Welcome to OSM, and thanks for your contribution! Unfortunately I'm going to revert the deletions in this changeset. Even if a business is closed (which you should verify first), the address still exists, and shouldn't be deleted.

That is a better question for "SIM" or its users, since OSM should not be the only way to re-create a course. There is JOSM for offline OSM editing, and QGIS for general map making, but I'm sure there's better suited solutions.

I repeat, do not add features that do not exist, and do use more descriptive changeset messages. Failure to ignore these messages may result in a ban.

Hi. Please use the changeset description field to describe what you changed and why; "updated" is not sufficient. Read more here: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments OpenStreetMap is a map for everyone, and has a policy against mapping nonexistent features. Please do not map historical features. See: osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_historic_events_and_historic_features If you know the dates that something existed, you can instead add it to OpenHistoricalMap: https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/

Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thanks for contributing! The "name" field on a building should only be used if the building itself has a formal name that people know it as. Houses don't need them. Also, you can change the attributes of a feature by clicking on it—you don't need to add a duplicate feature on top.

USPS says the zip code was correct already (and they're the authority): https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress

Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thanks for contributing! The extra information is appreciated. My only bit of feedback would actually be the change message—this field is your chance to summarize to other mappers what you changed and why. Something like, "Added address and payment methods to an ice cream shop from local knowledge."

Why did you undo this one? natural=sand makes more sense than landuse=sand

Please be more specific about what you changed in each changeset. Read this page osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments if you have any questions.

Thanks for contributing to OSM! It would be helpful if your changeset description were more specific about what you changed and why. For example, "Added an apartment office, referencing the property management website." See more info here: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Hi, please see the comment on your previous changeset at changeset/144810285 . The SJSU relation is only for the main campus, not satellite campuses or off-campus facilities.

wikidata=* is to say that the tagged object is exactly the same as the object on Wikidata. I don't think it's possible for an initiative to exist physically, and I also don't think this traffic sign is where they headquarter. However, the sign does have Solar America Cities branding on it, even though Solar America Cities is not commercial. brand:wikidata was correct.

You can read about building parts here: osm.wiki/Simple_3D_Buildings They're used for representing buildings in 3D, do require both the building part and outline to be mapped, and sometimes don't directly correspond to physical building components.

Hi, individual trees should only be mapped with natural=tree on nodes, not natural=wood areas. The latter is only for forests.
