Could you make sure you are accurately tagging the landuse when making these edits? You retagged some of the farmland as orchards despite the fact that tomatoes are grown there, and you've tagged a lot of chaparral/scrubland around here as a managed forest when there are very few trees present.

As far as I know, this road is not undergoing active construction, and is only used as a service road for power lines, what was wrong with the previous tagging?

Hi, if that is the case and you work for a company that manages this area, I would suggest you hit up the city of Carlsbad and request they not list this as a trail then: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=38386

Instead of removing them, set the access to private please, some of these are still service roads and in OSM we still want those tagged.

I wasn't sure, I had tagged it as a running path but you changed it to a footpath so I assumed there might be a reason for that. I will look more into it, I'd assume it would be running track but the documentation on that specific feature is rather poor.

Is the running track better tagged as a footpath than a running track? it would seem that leisure=track would be more appropriate for this way but if that is not correct, I'll leave it how you have it, I know sometimes the iD presets are disputed as to whether or not its the best way to tag.

Hey what was your reasoning for changing the golf cart path to a generic path? I initially assumed golf cart path would be the best designation as it is a concrete/paved road specifically for golf carts but I'm open to better ways to tag it?

ok well, time to figure out how to undo this changeset... good in theory but remember to make sure that you are actually using the most up to date imagery next time you "update" an area @myself

I explained to you why I removed your paths as I don't believe it is correct to place routable features across a train track that is not supposed to be crossed at this point. If you're going to undo my edits and still refuse to provide any details past "edits" as your changeset comment please at least explain here why you feel there should be these paths here.

Your word choice there isn't helping anything. I don't live in Encinitas, a quick view of my profile would show Carlsbad. You are clearly missing the point of OSM if you think that deleting my edits is the way to go. You added paths that don't exist that cross a live railroad track and continue to add things that don't match up with the ground truth. I see now why you told me to "stop being anal" and "go to waze" if I wanted to ensure quality edits as it appears you have been banned from waze for poor editing and ignoring messages from moderators of the local area. I will not "fuck off" and will continue to add to the map and make edits where I see fit, please explain why you have made the paths and edits that you have here or I will revert them and go with what I have confirmed to be the ground truth.

Please don’t add arbitrary crossings across live railroad tracks where there are not designated crossings! There is lots of documentation available to show you the correct tagging procedures for railway crossings.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying... these paths don’t exist, you can see the building outlines that you drew over right? There is a pods storage facility that paved over this area, I’m not saying that it’s hard to get to or something and that’s why the paths shouldn’t be there, I’m literally saying it does not exist anymore.

It takes 2 seconds to type something other than “edits”, for example “in this change set I marked an entire sidewalk as a street crossing for some reason” or “in this change set I deleted some on the ground tagging from someone who just visited the area to confirm this is the right way to tag it”. I’m not asking for much dude, and I’m not being anal about it either.

FYI there are buildings here, those paths have not been traversable for some time now. The reason that iD warns you about the paths crossing is because the paths are crossing. Marking them as level -1 should only be done if it is indeed below the ground level.

If possible could you describe some of your change sets in a little more detail than "edits"? It would help to verify and can help others continue editing the areas you are improveing.

Understood, going forward if there’s no note on it I’ll just add the missing tags.

Are some of these buildings meant to be completely untagged? From the imagery they appear to be houses so I’ve been updating them with that tag, but if you are holding off in tagging them for some reason let me know and I won’t update any more of these.

Please don't add names to houses especially names containing private information...

Glad to see someone’s making use of my OSC footage :)

That’s why lately I’ve been trying to “seed” the different neighborhoods and other areas with a few tagged houses and such here or there to encourage other people to expand out based on those. Thanks for your encouragement and I will continue adding houses when finals are over.
