A "feature" in Vespucci? Good to know. I don't use Vespucci often but I'll keep my eye out for that issue next time I do. Thanks.

My guess is that there is some site blue print plans, for the past Mercer Court construction project, that has the answer. There should be a UW department that would know. I might toss a few emails out and see what I find. Thanks for your effort.

Fast work, sir. Looks good on my end, as well. Happy mapping.

Wouldn't these roads fall under the "forestry" usage for highway=track?
osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack

Has the definition for "track" changed? I know there was a lot of highway=track talk in Feb, Mar, and April. I don't know if you noticed that.

It looks like you mistakenly dragged the traffic circle into the neighbourhood before uploading.

By chance, do you know if that section of road is (still) called Adams Road or is it the end of Cowlitz Road Northeast? Seattle GIS doesn't label that section specifically. "Tiger Roads 2014" map layer (JOSM) shows that section to be Cowlitz. Google Street View (reference only) does not show a street sign, at the intersection with NE 40th st, as far back as 2008 . The UW campus map doesn't label that section but does label Cowlitz Road NE as NE Cowlitz Road so UW is playing fast and loose with street names. There is an Adams Lane between Mercer Court and Stevens Court and there was a road leading to a parking lot on the west side of Mercer Court back in 2008 (but there is no street sign). Maybe the old (now removed) road was Adams Road? I can't tell if this small section is now Cowlitz Road NE or an unsigned Adams Road.

Please revert this change.

This is a fake park created on google maps, by a number University of Washington Computer Science students. Looking at whom originally posted reviews on Google Maps and on the fackbook page, I suspect the "park" was named after one of the women in the friend group.
The city of Seattle has no record of this park. This grass area is just one of a couple dozen large grass covered center medians, which run the entire length of Northeast Ravenna Boulevard. The "park" has no park signs. There are no park amenities such as benches, trash cans, etc. The first mention of this area as "Olga Park" starts in 2018 with this google listing, a facebook page, a website, and a instagram page.
I informed Google about this over a year ago. The windows of my apartment over look this "park".
Since the morning of the murder, I have sent correction emails to media yet they seem to trust Google Maps to all other sources even after been informed of the college student's prank.

As a side note: Google Maps "Local Guide" have shown themselves to be fairly worthless since their reviews contain nearly zero factual information about this "park".

Do you have a source that connects Homer Street in Boston, US with Homer from Greece? Is it possible that Homer street, in Boston, US, was named after Winslow Homer, a famous artist from Boston?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winslow_Homer

I think your automated edits might be introducing bad data. I have only looked at the three US changes, which I've commented on (two changesets), and 2 out of 3 appear to be incorrect in some way.

How do you know they are named after Ernest Hemingway?
The Marion (Cedar Rapids) location is a reasonable guess since the surrounding streets appear to be other authors but guessing is the weakest form of ground truth.
osm.org/way/367521921#map=12/42.0755/-91.5803
I disagree with the Redding location. I do not believe that a non -local can know if that street is named after Ernest Hemingway. The area appears to be a generic housing development with random generic American street names. They often do not refer to anything specific. If it was named after an actual person, it could as easily be a local family with the last name Hemingway or Ernest Hemingway's son, Jack, who was a conservationist along the west coast or either of the famous granddaughters Mariel & Margaux Hemingway.

Did you intended to include two US streets?

Is there a reason you changed a correctly formatted phone number and made it non-standard?
+1 425 223 5798 - only spaces is the preferred OSM format.
+1-425-223-5798 - only '-' is an alternative for us Americans.

Was the deprecation of <site>=* scheme for social media discussed some place? Could you provide a link to it as I haven't been able to locate where a discussion took place?

99541188 over 4 years ago

I see. Well, I will just be walking through the "I may be mistaken" door now. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

I disagree with this change. I believe the error is on Wikidata's side and not OSM's side.

Yes, Q85812269 links to the Wikipedia article yet Q30253741 seems to hold more relevant information. I believe there are duplicate Wikidata entries and that the two entries need to be combined into Q30253741. I admit, I do not know how Wiki works so I may be mistaken.

The W CoMotion building appears to be building=commercial instead of building=retail. W CoMotion is a UW business and research incubator program.

I've made the correction. Feel free to make corrections if you feel there is an error.

Is the addr:street for these address nodes "17th Avenue East" or "17th Avenue"? It appears that "17th Avenue East" is north of East Denny Way and "17th Avenue" is south.

It looks like an error occurred. This changeset shows two version changes to the same node (V3 & V4). V4 has removed all kerb tags and left a blank node.

I noticed a few barrier=kerb tags were incorrectly added to crossing nodes which are on highway (road) ways. OSM wiki notes that the exclusion of barrier=kerb, in this specific case, is related to routing. Below are the first few that I caught but because of the size of this changeset, I did not check every node. osm.wiki/Key:crossing (under Accessibility)
