Hi,
Kindly read my previous changeset comments.

It also best to map a couple of buildings per changeset i.e. before saving

You can see the difference at https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/1272615404

Let the outline match what's on the imagery, you can right click and select "Square" to make building orthogonal

Hi,

Kindly zoom in enough to see existing objects before adding new ones to avoid duplicates.

Also look at what the various values for the highway key represent at osm.wiki/Key:highway

In the meantime, I am reverting this change.

Best,
Enock

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for mapping.

The name field (tag) osm.wiki/Key:name is reserved for the actual name of a feature on the ground not for descriptive names. There's also a tag for descriptions that can used. Also use title case instead ALL CAPITALS

In order to tell that a building is residential, the "building=residential" tag is what should be used. See more possible values for building at osm.wiki/Key:building

In the search box for iD editor you can search for the primary class of a feature e.g. instead of typing "Mosque" in the name field, search of mosque, school, church, etc. first.

Here is one useful resource to get you started https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/

Happy to guide if you need any further help.
I will try to fix some your contribution to help your further contributions.

Happy Mapping!

Best,
Enock

Hi, thanks for mapping. Kindly watch out for existing features such as buildings so that you don't add duplicates. In iD editor make sure to zoom in enough so you can see existing objects.

Happy mapping!

Best,

Hi. what were you trying to map at osm.org/node/10297858600
there seem to be several unrelated tags on this node. Can you please clarify?

Hi, thanks for mapping, I think "name:ee" for Ewe language osm.wiki/Key:name:ee fits best, which language is "name:nyb"?

Hi, such an exhaustive response but I am afraid of your assumptions. Kindly avoid copying adding data from copyrighted sources.

149030117 over 1 year ago

Hi, Thanks for the clarification but I am afraid we cannot use or add data from copyrighted sources to OpenStreetMap. See osm.wiki/Legal_FAQ#Can_I_trace_data_from_Google_Maps/Nokia_Maps/...?

Are you able to point out or delete all data you have added from such sources?

Since features within osm.org/way/210365002 are temporal for the camping site, it's best not to map them i.e. the buildings as permanent structures.

Hi, wondering if a quarry would be this perfect? osm.org/way/648425824/history

and in some cases very tiny areas.

In reference to timeliness of imagery, I added a fixme tag after ~1 month when these features were being mapped. Imagery hasn't changed much at that time hence my suspicion.

Hi,
How did you come up feature names here? Any other map you are using as a reference? Kindly clarify.

149500366 over 1 year ago

Hi,
Thanks for mapping. Kindly stop adding several machine generated roads that lead nowhere to OpenStreetMap, it doesn't help.

149483622 over 1 year ago

add/update feature names.

PS: Press Enter too quick, upload without comment :/

Hi, welcome and thanks for mapping. One feature in should be mapped once and only once in OpenStreetMap. There already exits a school area so there's no need to add a node and name the school again.

Also use title cases for names not ALL CAPTS

Hi, It's already 5 years, there are several of these kind of features mapped in OSM around these areas from YouthMappers organized groups / mappings. Most of them look very suspicious, do you have idea what you were trying to map at that time? Some clarification could help on how to reuse them or delete them.

Hi, thanks for mapping, you added leisure=park to some polygons. These are not parks. Kindly add the right tags by searching for the feature type.

In this case you are mapping buildings so add building tags as you did to some buildings in this changeset.

Happy mapping.

Hi, did you really review machine generated data from RapiD before replacing geometry and uploading to OSM? This residential area could have been better mapped if manually traced considering such a small area.

149029875 over 1 year ago

Hi, I noticed you are adding multiple landuse = grassland, which does not seem to exist. Are you just adding based on what is RapiD? e.g. osm.org/way/972137305

Hi, thanks for mapping. I have reverted this changeset. If you are not sure about something, please don't add/change/move them. If you are still not sure what OpenStreetMap is about, here is a good start https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/
