Right. I suppose that's a better term. You can map the signage separately then.

Thanks for updating the POIs, @Legitamer. Great to see a fellow Osmand user helping improve OSM!

It's better to tag sari-sari stores as `shop=convenience`, rather than `shop=yes`.

Example tags appropriate tag for short-term construction work: construction=minor + motor_vehicle:conditional=no @ (2018 May 1-2022 May 31)

@raenbow

highway=construction should only be used when a road is **impassable** due to construction activity.

If partial access is possible (e.g. one lane remains passable), highway=*, and access=* tags remain as-is.

A note is definitely going to be useful for reference.

Hello @Izzhar Balbon.

I'm curious about some of the elements you added in this changeset that doesn't show up in several imagery providers.

Can you please elaborate what your source is?

I'm not actually asking about the PSGC codes or the is_in key (you appear to be using them as expected), and the local community has discussed this before, and treat those as "facts".

However, it seems you're saying that you're tracing boundaries from the PSA geodata ?

May I know if you got PSA's permission before doing so? If so, can you share with us the permission letter you got from them?

By any chance, have you encountered this FAQ before: osm.org/wiki/Philippines/FAQs_for_PH_data#Frequently_Asked_Questions_about_data_sources_for_OpenStreetMap_contributors_in_the_Philippines

Are you saying you're tracing the administrative boundaries you're modifying from data of the Philippines Statistics Authority?

Hi @EngrBlessing199x
These features you added don't appear on current imagery. Are they based on proposed features, and copied from a subdivision plan? Can you please elaborate.

Hi @relaemanila!

I noticed that you're adding administrative boundaries.

Can you elaborate your source(s) for these?

Thank you for adding the details for the school! Are you from this neighbourhood ?

Hi @junetsu! Thank you for your contributing to OSM.

I observed in your edits that you've been connecting landuse boundaries to highways in the subdivisions you've edited.

This isn't actually a recommended practice since it can cause more issues down the line. Please check out the wiki for this particular concern: osm.wiki/Land_use#Mapping_land_use_in_more_detail

As I told you earlier, there's really nothing to "fix", and that the issue you're encountering is your browser retrieving the cache version of the map, rather than the fresh one from the OSM database.

The workaround is to *force* your browser to refresh it's cache.

At any rate, and thanks to you, the highway is now geocoded correctly, and with the correct name. 🎉

Hello @Lykaaaa ! Welcome to OSM.

I noticed some spurious edits you recently made, and I'm wondering if you need any help with the tools or imagery you're using?

Usually, mappers will trace buildings features that appear on imagery, but what you've added appear to be way off, and actually is already on the map.

If you need any help, you can try reaching out to the local community, on platforms accessible to you: osm.org/wiki/PH

There's no need to add this because the feature is already mapped.

Look a few meters down south, and you'll see that it's been mapped in detail: osm.org/way/120426236

Thank you for fixing it!

Hi there! Welcome to OSM.

To map residential blocks, please do not tag them as an "ATM" to force them to show up.

If you need help with your edits, or want to ask questions, try to reach out to the local community: osm.org/wiki/PH

Good job! Thank you.

Good job! Thanks.

Thank you for that information.

May I know why you think "irregular settlement" is less appropriate than a "slum", to further classify this residential area? There seems to be a recent interest in OSM, to avoid using the term "slum" for being politically incorrect, but that's also subjective, and reasons/feelings can vary a lot between regions.
