These are not quarries, but wellsites for gas extraction. I have changed them accordingly.

Thank you @nevw. I fixed it as you suggested.

Apologies. I was mapping on a mobile mapping app for the first time and did not realize that the separate, torn-down building I wanted to delete was in fact wrongly mapped and stretched around the whole block.

Great that you are starting to contribute to OpenStreetMap. A few pointers: Addresses should not be used for the name of the house, but have their own tag: osm.wiki/Addresses

And if you draw rectangular houses, you can make all corners exactly rectangular by pressing the letter q after drawing the shape.

Road was not deleted, only three sections with the same tags joined together and realigned.

I know that one user uses layer to micro-map building parts (if a roof has a different shape than the rest of the building). But I guess most of it is happening in ID editor, when two buildings overlap, it gives you the option to tag one as higher than the other, and creates a layer tag.

Hi. I saw you corrected this name. According to the PNG Census Register, this village is written as Asinave. I added your suggestion Asinuwa as an alternate name.

Hi Kolewis,

Excellent work adding buildings. Just a slight request: could you make sure they are rectangular? Just press the button q after you draw the building shape. I already fixed this set.

Hi Aleksandar,
Is this a question or a comment? I prefer to map places with nodes and not polygons, as polygons imply a certain boundedness. With villages, the boundaries of the village are not self-evident, so I just tag a place with a node. With schools on the other hand, you can clearly see the boundary, so I tag the polygon with the name of the school.

Please refer to East Africa Tagging Guidelines when classifying roads in Papua New Guinea: osm.wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines

Why did you change these villages to town? The tag town within Papua New Guinea should be reserved for settlements with major infrastructure, for example high schools, police stations, hospitals, mission stations and/or bigger stores. None of these villages qualify.

Bare rock is reserved for hard rock surfaces. Loose rock material in riverbeds should be tagged as shingle. And please follow the outline as precise as possible. I adjusted it, have a look.

Hi there. You are most likely using the tag "community center" wrongly. It refers specifically only to buildings that serve as a gathering place for the community: amenity=community_centre

You might want to use the tag "hamlet" or "village" to tag whole settlements.

Please don't name villages as "village". Put the name, if you know it, otherwise leave it blank. Also, what you marked as village might be better tagged as "hamlet".

Thanks for updating the map and drawing all the oil palm blocks. Just a heads-up: you should not name the orchards "oil palm tree" (the name tag should be used for the name of the oil palm estate), but add the tag trees=oil_palms. I have corrected it.

What do you mean by "fake"? These buildings might not be visible on the older Bing imagery, but they are there on the newer Maxar imagery. I reinstated them. Please check all available imagery (especially the most recent ones)!

Hi Rob

Please keep landuse=residential, and do not convert to "village".

I cite the wiki:
Mapping villages as areas
The most common method of mapping villages is with a node placed at the center. Some mappers however map villages with an area instead of using a node. Villages often do not have a verifiable outline though and different interpretations of the meaning of areas representing populated places exist - more details can be found on the place key page. This method also loses the information on the village center which is important for data users, in particular for routing. Data users should not expect the area geometries of villages to have a particular meaning.

Hi there. I changed the classification back to tertiary, as here it even connects to a small town. I would appreciate if you could contact me for any further changes to roads drawn by me, as I am one of the few PNG mappers who tries to get some sort of standard in road classification going.

Hi there. I changed the classification back to tertiary, as it clearly connects to a larger village (large for PNG standards).
