Changeset When Comment
179111421

Hello,

I apologize for any errors I've made. Feel free to revert or overwrite any mistakes, and let me if there's anything I can do to help fix the errors. I don't think I changed the sidewalk alignment much in this particular changeset, but as you've noted, I have made multiple changesets throughout the area over the past few days, some of which include changes to sidewalk/crossing alignment. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience my edits have caused, and thank you for informing me of my errors.

For future reference, what imagery should I have used in this area? I have made most of my edits by cross-referencing against multiple sources (MassGIS, ESRI, Mapbox, Bing). To my understanding, MassGIS and ESRI are older, while Mapbox and Bing seem more up to date in this area. I do recall using MassGIS for some sidewalk alignment because the images are from winter (when tree leaves aren't blocking the view), and I have used ESRI for determining tactile pavement at curbs (because the imagery is higher resolution than other sources), but I've been trying to check against the other sources. However, I realize now that I'm unaware of the subtleties. In this area, I'll defer to your expertise.

Thanks for the info! That's great to know, and I wish I knew that earlier. Moving forward, I'll be sure to check the NRHP when editing historic POIs

Hello, I'm somewhat new to OSM editing so I've been relying a lot on the wiki. I noticed that you changed the tag historic=building to historic=heritage. The wiki currently advises against using historic=heritage, but the article was last updated in 2023 so I'm not sure if it's still valid. historic=heritage

I'd previously changed the tag to historic=building because it was one of the values listed on the wiki historic=*

I'm sorry if I messed something up. OSM has become my hobby but I don't know the intricacies

I saw this in person and...I'm not sure what it is. But I don't think it's a surveillance camera.

It's more like...4th amendment type stuff, I guess. Like these articles
- https://ij.org/press-release/judge-rules-lawsuit-challenging-norfolks-use-of-flock-cameras-can-proceed/
- https://www.404media.co/license-plate-reader-company-flock-is-building-a-massive-people-lookup-tool-leak-shows/

Or 1st amendment for that matter: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/anti-surveillance-mapmaker-refuses-flock-safetys-cease-and-desist-demand

Somehow, I unintentionally changed way/760495573

I intended to change only way/38269227

I'm new to OSM and don't know how to revert, so I'd appreciate if someone else reverts the changes so I don't mess things up further. I apologize....

Thanks for the encouragement and knowledge! I'm new to editing OSM and have mostly been surveying via StreetComplete. I didn't realize that all the natural=wood areas here were incorrect, but now I know!
