Changeset comment clarification
Postitas DUGA kuupäeval 2. mai 2021 – English. Viimati uuendatud: 8. september 2021.Cosmetics changes
Usually happen when the changes are mostly related to cosmetic features, like road realign, water features realign, tag upgrade, field upgrade, traffic sign upgrade, business details…
[Township/Town/City/County][State] cleanup (e.g. DuBois PA cleanup)
Related to changes within a specific area. Could be any type of changes.
[Township/Town/City/County][State] speed limit updates
Related to speed limit updates, could be multiple roads within a specific area
Add a chimney/Add a water tower/Add a building
All these features were added for mapping cell tower. My focus will never be buildings in this project.
Junk Removal
When I really cannot stand the crap (mostly complex relations) in the map so I delete everything and start from scratch.
Sometimes could be reverting others’ “contribution” (damage)..

Hi, thank you for those detailed changeset comments !
If I may, I would suggest to add the source of your modifications on the changesets. It helps when a future mapper use another source and want to know whether their one is more up to date or precise. That way they don’t overwrite recent data with an older source.

The source tag shouldn’t be used at all.
All other sources are listed in each changeset.

I don’t understand your comment. How would you indicate that you made a change based on a on-the-ground survey, if not with a source=survey on the changeset ?
