The difference is small, but iD makes teh difference between "Managed Forest" (landuse=forest) and "Natural Wood" (natural=wood) Borisova Gradina is definitely not natural (all trees are planted) and managed (fallen trees on paths are removed). It's not something I want to spend much time on though...

You added a lot of individual trees around the new CSKA stadium. To me it looks like a small forest that I would have mapped with as an area with landuse=forest (a managed forest, so not natural=wood). Why didn't you?

Unfortunately there are many bad examples, so it's not unusual to doit like you did. I want to start a thread about it on the Bulgaria forum

Thank you for adding so many street names to the map of Sofia! However, please note that we have a tag int_name= to add names transliterated from Cyrillic to Latin script. Unfortunately it's not as easily available in iD as name:en= but strictly speaking a transliterated name is not in the English language but still in Bulgarian (just using a different script). Could you please use int_name= for transliterated names?
Please also consult highway=residential and service=driveway

Are you sure it's access=no and not access=private? There must be a reason why that road is there...

One of the service roads you added goes right through a building under construction. Didn't you notice? It looks like the building shape is wrong so I will edit it.

Hi, thanks for editing the map of Sofia. However I reverted your edit because there is consensus in the Bulgarian OSM community to not include улица (street) in street names. See here osm.wiki/Bg:WikiProject_Bulgaria#%D0%98%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B8_%D0%B8_%D0%B1%D1%83%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B4%D0%B8

Thanks! For aligning paths, you could use Strava heatmap, see osm.wiki/Strava#Global_Heatmap_in_High_Resolution
I had a quick look and it seems there's some more work to be done in this area ;)

I went to have a look and adjusted the smoothness values to what I usually tag in the area, see changeset/177960993
The new path pavements around the mathematics faculty are very well made, so to the workmen that made them I'd say that they did an excellent job. But that doesn't mean that smoothness=excellent, for that it would be so smooth that rollerskaters would love to use it. Compare it with the surface right in front of the main entrance (upper end of the steps) or the wheelchair ramp at the back entrance. That's smoothness=excellent!
For the pavements along J. Bouchier I was in doubt to tag them intermediate or bad, because if I would drive on it, I wouldn't slow down much: there's very little risk I would do some damage to my car. Smoothness is for wheeled vehicles, so judging it as a pedestrian is not appropriate. But as a pedestrian, I would say smoothness=intermediate means "watch your step because you might stumble on a raised edge" and smoothness=bad means "watch your step because you might strain an ankle". Because it was smoothness=bad before, I chose that.

That was 5 years ago! I don't remember. Have a look in the cadastre and edit accordingly. It's what I would do

177886732

If you transliterate the Bulgarian abbreviation to latin script, it would be BChK, but if you abbreviate the English name, it is BRC. BCHK is Bank of China (Hong Kong)...
It's not very important though

Hi, saw your good edits. I think it's good to keep (or add) osm.wiki/Tag:name:bg=, see here osm.wiki/Multilingual_names#Repeating_name_with_language_specific_tag
If you want to link to a Wikipedia page of the organisation, you can use wikipedia=en:Bulgarian Red Cross (for instance). For etymology, you can use name:etymology:wikidata=Q219 (tag on бул. България) if you want to link to what the object is named after. And I think it should be short_name:en=BRC :)

177848732

Thanks, I added info so it's clear it belongs to the chain

177861259

Yes, and on the west side of the building there are paths at 2 levels too. I can't remember exactly where they are though, need to go there with a laptop to draw them :) бул. "Симеоновско шосе" 1 is the address of Villa Victoria restaurant in Loven Park, so it can't be here.

177848732

Hi, thanks for your edits! Is the Minimart of this brand https://mini-mart.bg/ ?

173613850

Still wondering. I would guess it's called Slatinska only from where Vartopo flows into it, and definitely Dragalevska where it flows through Dragalevtsi. On all the paper maps of Sofia and Vitosha that I have, it's called Dragalevska until Loven Park

Hi, glad to see you started adding to the map! I hope we have a new mapper?
To save yourself some work, you should know that many "ways' have default values that are assumed so you don't need to add them. A highway=footway is defined as a way only for pedestrians, so no need to add foot=designated, motor_vehicle=no, etc. :)
Keep up the good work!

177557904

Hi, thanks for your edits! I think the footways you added are sidewalks (pavements)? Then please also add footway=sidewalk tot he sidewalk and adjust the sidewalk= and sidewalk:*:surface= tags on the street where you added the sidewalk. Yuriy Venelin has sidewalks on both sides, so it would be good to add both, not just one of them.
