Hi there! I noticed you made some edits in Madison, however I would have to disagree with many of the classification changes. For example, osm.org/way/6606098 doesn't really qualify as a motorway given that it is within a parking lot. Could you provide a little more information as to the reasoning for some of these changes?
Happy Mapping!

Hi, this looks like it may be an automated import given the node placement in a parking garage as well as unusual tags. Can you provide some information about the data source? Did you survey this? Get it from a website? Happy Mapping, FTA

Hi MountainAddict,

Users have tried to engage with you many times in changeset comments about editing the tags on this object.

Is rendering of map tiles somewhere the reason you want route=ncn and not route=icn? If that is the issue, we can certainly reach out to whoever creates the tiles you are referencing and see if they would render route=icn in a similar light as route=ncn (I don't foresee a pressing reason they would not). [It's standard practice to avoid tagging strictly so something will render on the map](osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer) since the OSM project is more about the data, not the slippy map.

route=icn is in use internationally--not strictly in the United States--so I think it would be most productive to use this tagging scheme to denote the route traverses multiple countries. It would be very beneficial knowledge for someone that they will likely encounter a border crossing, for example.

Is there perhaps a difference reason you want that certain tag?

Hi there,
It looks like you made some pretty large scale deletions of data in this area--many many city blocks, the university, and some finely mapped detail. Generally it's best not to delete data and start from scratch when mapping in an area. Doing so removes great effort made by other mappers and also erases the history of those objects for future changes. If you have any questions about mapping, don't hesitate to ask! Happy Mapping, Ethan aka FTA

Yes indeed--just fixed it.
Cheers!

Hi there,
It looks like you deleted a lot of objects here--was that intentional?

Ugh, that's the node reference, not the changeset. Changeset was 39361554

Hi there! Welcome to OpenStreetMap. I noticed you happened to add two nodes--one with your business at the proper location and the second in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I went ahead and removed the latter one. Feel free to shout if you have any questions about the project. Happy Mapping! Ethan aka FTA

It looks like osm.org/way/415151286 has the same tagging as osm.org/way/316623614 already. I haven't really seen a living street tagged as a closed way either. Thoughts on which one we should retain?

Hi, please do not mass tag a bunch of islands with the generic name "Quần Đảo Trường Sa Việt Nam" and do not delete other objects already existing in the region. If you want to add the specific Vietnamese names for objects, that would be helpful and you can do that with name:vi=*. Best, Ethan aka FTA

Hi, please don't make changes for the render--especially in regards to administrative boundaries. See osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer for more information.

Hi, I commented on osm.org/changeset/39148570 last week about minimizing the coverage of edits in the same changeset. Can you try to separate edits from across the world into multiple changes? Otherwise, monitoring local edits is more difficult.

Hi there, you seem to have added a hospital node to the center of a street. This makes me think you are perhaps importing data? Where did you get the address information? There is already a Meriter Hospital object just a few feet east from here.

Hi, the source you list is unfortunately not compatible with the license terms of OpenStreetMap--in other words, we can't use that as a data reference. Based on your username, however, it looks like you are personally familiar with this road and its name? I went ahead and removed the ref=* tag you had added as the ref=* tag is used for a particular road number reference...for example, US Highway would have ref=US 6. Let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Mapping,

Hi, is there any way you can confine edits across the world to separate changesets? It's difficult see what exactly was changed when the bbox covers nearly all longitudes.

Hi, where is this data coming from?

Hi! I noticed this changeset deleted all of the parking lots in the Erie Campus area, some which contained specific information (like capacity, supervision, etc.). Was that intentional?

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I noticed you added some keys that are a little strange. Category usually is indicated instead by something such as amenity=, shop=, office=, etc. You also duplicated the keyword tag, but the uncapitalized form is preferred. Let me know if you have any questions. Ethan aka FTA

Hi, have you surveyed these street names? Are they from a compatible source?

I ask because these streets have been named with the direction names as suffixes until recently, when a user changed them but then asked for the data to be reverted back because of an incompatible source.

Best, Ethan aka FTA.
