note* ... oops.

It's Malay for "improve" or "improvement". Not really that much different from the rubbish changeset comments in English that just say "update" or "improvement".

This is just as bad as the pollution of note=* and description=* with ad copy, if not worse. I'm glad to see it was reverted.

These look like good first edits. Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Submitted with empty comment and sources due to JOSM bug. Should be: Added data from notes 2125155, 2125158, 2125159, 2125161, 2125164, 2125166, 2125168, 2125170, 2125172; add traffic controls and other surveyed data. Source: Mapbox Satellite; Notes; survey/local knowledge

Agree with PeterPan99, this changeset comment is about as useful as "update". If I have to be terse, I at least hint at what I made changes to ("Add/update retail" for example).

Why does the bounding box stretch across portions of 15 states, including a large chunk of Texas?

Next time please clean up any nodes with duplicate information (I usually re-use the previous node as one of the nodes in the new building outline after transferring the address and other information).

Maybe dispense with name=* entirely and just use brand=* and whatever additional tag(s) to indicate it's for Bitcoin.

Most of the names look okay but I question the need to repeat the full business name for a Bitcoin ATM.

It technically is but my understanding is that contact:* is mostly deprecated, and phone has more uses than contact:phone.

These should be phone not contact:phone

I'm with jmapb, changesets like this should be split into at least one per state with possible exceptions for combining e.g. Delaware with Maryland and DC, Rhode Island with Connecticut and Massachusetts, Vermont with New Hampshire and possibly Maine.

Why does this changeset span half the US, all of Mexico, most of Africa, all of Central and South America, and even the tip of Antarctica?

A lot of these I'm just changing to something besides shop=yes, making a best guess based on website contents and web searches. I expect those with local knowledge to make further changes for the ones I get wrong or at least "less right" than someone doing a survey.

There are a lot of businesses I've surveyed locally (Houston area) that don't even fit neatly into one such tag in OSM's established tagging schemes.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Please note that values for cuisine=* should be in all lowercase. Also note we use cuisine=burger for establishments specializing in hamburgers such as Hippo Burger.

Other than this minor issue, this is a great first edit!

I remember seeing this name signed somewhere at the time I added the name. I would not have added a name like that if it was not signed. That said, this may or may not still be an official name today.

Who says that is all that he did?

Hi,

What exactly is at this address? If it is not a location where people can drop off their dry cleaning in person it should not be tagged with shop=dry_cleaning. If it is not actually open 24/7 it should not be tagged with opening_hours=24/7.

Also please note that OpenStreetMap tags are not for ad copy! name=* should contain the name (of your business in this case) -- that's it. description=* should contain additional information, but never advertising or similar rubbish verbiage.

How does a simple driveway addition create a bounding box stretching clear across the Gulf of Mexico?
