Hey matt,

I'm not sure if some of the changes in this set were intentional or not. Quite a few roads in the Santa Clarita area were converted to tracks (such as osm.org/way/13304551). Based on satellite, though, they seem to be residential. Thoughts?

Hi Mecperdu,
Welcome to OSM! I noticed you seem to have added a fake water area. Please note that all changes you make to the database are live, and vandalism negatively affects businesses and governments that rely on our data. If you have questions about mapping, please let me know.

Hi uli.l,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it looks like this source is actually copyrighted and not something we can extract names from (at the bottom of every page on that pdf). Unless, did you receive some sort of waiver?
Best,
Ethan

Hi Mai Ky Vinh. Tôi nhận thấy bạn đã thay đổi tên của một quốc gia, trong số những thứ khác. Xin vui lòng biết rằng phá hoại sẽ không được dung thứ trong OpenStreetMap. Tất cả các chỉnh sửa bạn thực hiện ngay lập tức vào cơ sở dữ liệu trực tiếp mà nhiều người tin tưởng. Trân trọng, Ethan gọi là FTA với Nhóm làm việc Dữ liệu

Hi Mai Ky Vinh. I noticed you changed the name of a country, among other things. Please know that vandalism will not be tolerated in OpenStreetMap. All edits you make go immediately into a live database that many people rely on.

Hi Lance, I noticed you added some interesting places in New Mexico that do not necessarily match what is on the ground (at least from older satellite imagery). Did you mean to add this car wash and motorcycle shop? Furthermore, it looks like there may have been some incorrect address data added. Let me know if that was a mistake and I'm happy to help out.

Hi Troy Spencer,

You've been adding the same name ("MOC LR") to a ton of roads in this area. I can only guess that means Mewbourne Operating Company Lease Road or something like that. Can you talk a bit about the reason for doing this? Is it just a matter that these are private roads? If so, alternative tags can be added that signify that as opposed to giving them all a fictional name.

Hi there,
I am wondering where you were sourcing these village names. I've been interested in mapping in North Korea, especially because of the lack of ability to survey, but I am curious of sources regarding location data in the country that have a compatible license.
Cheers and Happy Mapping,
Ethan aka FTA

Salut,
J'étais curieux de savoir où vous étiez en train d'identifier ces noms de village.Je me suis intéressé à la cartographie en Corée du Nord, en particulier en raison du manque de capacité de sondage, mais je suis curieux des sources concernant les données de localisation dans le pays qui ont une licence compatible.
Cordialement et heureuse cartographie,
Ethan aka FTA

Hi, do you have any information about where you got this village name data? Is it from personal experience, word of mouth, some online source? Thanks! Ethan aka FTA

(automatizované) Ahoj, máte nějaké informace o tom, kde jste získali toto jméno? Je to z osobní zkušenosti, z úst, z nějakého on-line zdroje? Dík! Ethan aka FTA

Hi AHeneen,
This changeset is a little bit old, but I recently came across it and noticed that you listed a copyrighted source as the reference for the name of this road. It looks like it has been changed back to what it was before, but please be aware that we cannot use this source for naming or any other purposes in OpenStreetMap. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
Best Wishes,

Hey there! Looks like you accidentally moved a bakery off its original place in this changeset, but I went ahead and fixed it.

Hey ToeBee, I noticed the way osm.org/way/13136793 is one way all the way into the base. It looks like you were perhaps adding the divided one way roads at the entrance and didn't split the way on the right side? Looked odd to me based on satellite, so thought I'd check.

Hi FlameSenpai,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I see you have made one change about a year ago, adding a random casino. Please be aware that only real objects should be added to OpenStreetMap. If you have any questions about mapping, please reach out!

Happy Mapping,

Hi FlameSenpai,

Tervetuloa OpenStreetMap! Näen, että olet tehnyt yhden muutoksen vuosi sitten lisäämällä satunnainen kasino. Huomaa, että OpenStreetMapiin on lisättävä vain todellisia objekteja. Jos sinulla on kysyttävää kartoituksesta, ota yhteyttä!

Happy Mapping,

Thanks for the comment and information. I think a solution to this would be to leverage multiple name tags, where this area has an official_name of Liberty Parkway and a regular name of Creek Turnpike. In this manner, we can capture the legislated name as well as the on the ground situation. Does that sit okay with you?

Hi there,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I see you have made some name changes to the tollway in Tulsa. Based on http://www.oklegislature.gov/cf_pdf/2003-04%20COMMITTEE%20SUBS/scs/sb350%20cs.pdf it appears this section of Creek Turnpike/OK 364 was actually correctly named as "Liberty Parkway", which another mapper has pointed out in the past. Does that make sense or do you have any questions about that?

Thanks and Happy Mapping,

Hi anthiko,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! OSM is only for objects that exist in reality, so please only add real parks. If you have any questions about mapping, let me know.

Hey!
I noticed you were adding some construction detour information. We recently ran into this problem in Madison, WI, with a bridge that was dismantled and rebuilt. A tidy solution we had was to tag the roads as highway=construction to indicate that fact (and also show up nicely on rendering). Just a thought to consider that came up while I was looking through some edits!

Hi there,
While I'm not generally in favor of any of the extraneous TIGER tags personally, it would be good to at least ping the talk-us mailing list before executing a mass removal of tags like this--especially when on the order of thousands of changes.
