Buildings are not square. Please use "Q" to square them.

Prohibited paths should still be mapped, they should just be tagged as access=private, or access=no

DO NOT CHANGE ROADWAYS TO CARTPATHS! If they are already correctly mapped as a roadway, changing it to a cartpath for a renderer is not permitted.

We have already gone over this multiple times.

All guidelines point to only mapping what is on the ground and which can be verified using ground truth. Items that no longer exist should be deleted and instead be added to OHM. As discussed previously, at what point do we not add razed features? Razed is very different from all removed. Having non-existent (or no longer existing) features is not beneficial to the goal of OSM of only having what exists.

Should abandoned=woods or razed tags be added to plains, woods, and wetlands since at one point they weren't residential buildings and roads? Hell, to a further extent, we might as well tag everything in the US as a razed ocean since at some point this area if earth was underwater before the land masses moved from Pangea. If we use the example of borders, can we added native american tribe borders? Might be some evidence using rivers as boundaries, and I am sure there are some maps that can be used - no, we can agree these belong on OHM instead.

I am not sure why there is such insitence to go against OSM guidelines and everything OSM is trying to acheive, rather than adding it to the right repository - OHM.

If it is because ORM can't pull from OHM, then that is an issue with ORM, not OSM, and further, mapping for the renderer is very explicitly prohibited, so this point falls flat. As has been maintained all along, "historical" features should be added to OHM, not OSM.

osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground

If you believe non-existent items should be added to OSM, you should take it up with OSM to change the guidelines changed.

Do not add trees as nodes to try and paint a picture of trees, use a landuse area of woods.

This is a lake/pond, not a water hazard. This edit is being reverted.

I know, but at least you do it right and add useful things to the map, and do so correctly, unlike some people. *cough cough* ...Who are still being cleaned up after.

These are some good imports! Even doing building parts! Man, if only you could get the same data and do this type of import around Atlanta to replace a bunch of other sub-par imports! :D

Looks like they all need some love here.

Will you be addressing the bad buildings here, such as:

Please use multipolygons to map areas with an "island" in the middle.
osm.wiki/Relation:multipolygon

Additionally, please do not use descriptive names to describe a feature.

I'm not going to go through and list every single one...

It's suffice to say, these were not manually reviewed...

What source did you use to 1) know this was going to be built, and 2) know the alignment of the roadway?

133306639 over 2 years ago

What source did you use to add these non-existent railways? There is no evidence on the ground of some of these railways that do not meet the definition of "abandonded". Please do not add items that have no trace or remnants on the ground. There are no ties, rails, signals, etc., and instead it was largely overbuilt and replaced by buildings, roadways and other features. These should be removed from OSM since they no longer exist, but should be added to OHM instead. Adding items for "historical" purposes isn't permitted on OSM, and I know we have had this discussion before about you adding non-existent items, and continuing to add them back.

Where did you get the start dates for these items? They definitely wouldn't appear on an elevation map.

Additionally, I suspect this was an import, but I digress on this point for now.

108552403 over 2 years ago

These aren't even buildings... These are just random nodes.

Please add info to your changeset features. What did you add, and why?

"." Doesn't tell me anything about what you changed, why or any source that may have been used to trace the history of various things on the map.

Thanks!

133301505 over 2 years ago

Please do not add descriptive names to the map when they aren't the real name of the item, or anything beyond just a description of the feature.

It is an open source project that has rules that need to be followed. Using good changeset comments is one of them, as well as only mapping things that exist, and mapping them correctly.

Continuing to not follow rules and guidelines will have consequences.
