The changeset comment should also say the power line runs along West Michigan Avenue (US 12).

The source imagery cited in the changeset source tag should be "Mapbox Satellite" rather than "Esri World Imagery". Other sources include survey photos and Dash Cam footage taken 2018-03-11.

I unintentionally hit the upload button before entering the correct changeset comment. Comment should read:
"Update connections at a 345 kV substation in Amber Township, between Ludington and Scottville, MI. Map two nearby power line crossings."

A keyboard error closed this changeset before I could complete the comment; the last sentence of the comment is: "Add circuits=* tags to 36 miles of 345 kV electrical power line connected to the Bauer Substation."

The changeset comment incorrectly states that this edit was done at the Majestic Substation; it was done at the Milan substation in Augusta Township, MI.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your comment.

I agree with you that Van Buren Township is a Charter Township. I used what I'm guessing is the common default name, "Van Buren Township", rather than "Van Buren Charter Township" which appears on the township's web site. Wikipedia says that the official name is "Charter Township of Van Buren".

The OSM wiki for key:name suggests several variations on name tags alt_name and official_name. I would be completely happy with three name tags: name=Van Buren Township, alt_name=Van Buren Charter Township, and official_name=Charter Township of Van Buren.

If you feel that name=Van Buren Charter is the best choice, I believe you have solid reasons for changing the existing tag and I would not object at all. In that case, I'd also add either short_name=Van Buren Township or alt_name=Van Buren Township.

When I first started editing townships, I used the full official name; see Washtenaw County. I think shorter names would look better and not detract from the usefulness of the map. I have been intending to go back and shorten those names, retaining the existing versions as alt_name or official_name tags.

Tip: use a non-breaking space between Van and Buren so that those components of the name won't appear on different lines when rendered on the map.

Interesting fact: Only Michigan has Charter Townships.

You are welcome to change the name tags if you wish, or if you prefer that I do it, let me know.

Thanks,
