I think what matters for OSM isn't what the railroad designates it, it's what the reality on the ground is. A tiny commuter line that sees a train 5 times a day isn't a main line. (The portions tagged name="Ivy Ridge Line" or now name="Cynwyd Line" do not see numerous trains a day, unless by numerous you mean 5.) A line that hasn't gone to Ivy Ridge since 1986 isn't the Ivy Ridge Line.

I agree that the tail end of the Cynwyd Line (basically after Cynwyd station) is a running line, and I don't object to way/756330656 being tagged railway:track_ref="Running Track". But I don't think it all matches the description on usage=industrial?uselang=en of "railway tracks in private use that serve only freight transport from/to ports, industrial complexes or mining areas, and for connecting these to the public network."

This changeset changes Cynwyd Line back to Ivy Ridge Line, even though the Ivy Ridge name hasn't been used for decades. It also changes it from usage=branch to usage=main or usage=industrial, neither of which are correct (at least based on how the OSM wiki describes those three tag values).

What is owner=New York-Pittsburgh Subway Track? Is that an ownership that still exists?

Is the official English spelling of the street (what's on the street sign) actually "CXhalom Yossef"?

Looks like the correct formatting is `name:-2021=whatever`. Got fixed 10 days ago in changeset/144856104

You actually had the address formatted correctly when you first put the school on the map - Drive should be spelled out (rather than Dr) and 248 belongs in addr:housenumber rather than as part of addr:street

Can you explain what's going on in this changeset? Why are you deleting all of these golf features?

Why did you delete a bunch of traffic signals?

Because there's so much going on in this changeset it's hard to know whether there's anything else concerning.

Per osm.wiki/Features, OSM should include only physical features. A meetup that happens every few weeks in a mall doesn't count as a physical feature.

I posted about this in the boardgamegeeks forum thread (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3180534/article/43247235#43247235 ), I suspect there'll be more discussion on this there.

Aside from adding a cafe, you also accidentally merged Norristown Baptist Church and Central Behavioral Health - Outpatient & Intake Services. I'm reverting that change, but please be careful in the future and pay close attention to what changes you're uploading!

143678925 about 2 years ago

This changeset added items that were already on the map. Please don't do that.

Agreed with IsStatenIsland.

This changeset (and others in this set) may be part of why Garmin (Connect, in the "Create new Course" UI) has this hilariously unrealistic popularity heat map of where people are supposedly running (or going). Clearly they're taking GPS tracks and snapping them to some sort of predefined ways, even if the ferries themselves are clearly not following these individual ways. The basemap in this image is Google Maps, but I'm _pretty_ sure that the purple popularity lines match the ferry routes in OSM.

Thanks for doing this! This looks intense but is super valuable.

If multiple uploads somehow got combined in JOSM, it's probably because you unchecked the "close changeset after upload" checkbox in the settings tab of the upload dialog box. JOSM lets you upload multiple sets of data into the same changeset (keeping the description of the last time you uploaded) which is useful sometimes but can also be annoying when it happens by mistake.

Are these highways still under construction? I see that way/1130777629 for instance says it's expected to be completed in late 2023, and I'm wondering if it's time to remove that yet.

Looking at Bing Maps Aerial and Bing Streetside, it doesn't appear that there's a large fountain as you've mapped. I see a small round fountain (which is already on the map) with a pedestrian area around it. Is the reality something different? If I'm correct, this new fountain you added should be deleted.

You seem very uncertain with your tagging. (It seems fine to me, but I'm not well versed in tagging of museums and historic stuff.) I suggest joining OSM US slack or posting on one of the forums so you can feel more confident in your work. osm.wiki/Contact_channels is a good list of places for this.

You've mapped two ways as canoe=yes+waterway=link. waterway=link isn't documented on the wiki and is very minimally used (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/waterway=link#overview). Perhaps instead this should be canoe=put_in or canoe=portage? (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/canoe#values)

This comment applies to several other changesets as well - I'm commenting here about all of them rather than commenting on each separately
