Sorry for the broken link, the correct URL is: osm.wiki/Names#Abbreviation_(don't_do_it)

Hello @gps_tracker.

Thank you for helping improve the map. I noticed that you're using abbreviations in the street names (i.e., "St." instead of "Street").

According to the OSM wiki, the convention is, [not to abbreviate](osm.org/wiki/Names#Abbreviation_(don't_do_it))

A map layer may render the appropriate abbreviation when necessary, but the underlying data should be spelled in full.

Among other things, this also ensures that other data users can avoid contextual errors. (e.g. pronouncing "street" where "saint", or "drive" instead of "doctor").

Looks good! Thanks.

Hi @RHLDSTUDIOS. That's an interesting edit. Do you mind saying what you're trying to do the traffic barrier element?

Hello @Apiong! This is awesome! Thank you for helping improve the OSM map.

I improved some of the edits you made to reflect what it represents on the map. If you want to make this more relevant for others, you can add missing elements, or add missing names of roads or nearby places.

Daghang salamat!

Looks good! Thank you.

It would be awesome if you can also add local knowledge to the map, like street names, or important POIs/features.

If you have questions, or concerns, you can also reach out to the local communities: osm.org/wiki/PH

Thank you for your edit. Mapped "areas" in OpenStreetMap are not displayed (rendered) on the map unless they're used with more specific tags that describe or match the features.

In your original edit, it appears that you're trying to map an orchard, and left a comment in your changset that said it's "Ñumana Farm".

That information was extrapolated, and put together here: osm.org/go/4zkE81FQQ--?m=

Please feel free to update them, or add more details to make it more useful for other people.

Hello @joserey1988. Thank you for your edits.

According to the aerial imagery, this area appears to be a farmland, rather than the factory itself. Can you elaborate?

The facotry, where the actual processing actually happens, can be tagged as industrial, but the farming areas where crops are grown are usually tagged as farmland.

Do you have questions about mapping? Check out the local community's communication channels: osm.org/wiki/PH, or the local mapping convention: osm.org/wiki/Philippines/Mapping_conventions

Thank you for the reminder, and updating the feature.

Do remember the Filipino and English are two of the official languages in the country, so I don't see any reason why the English version should have precedence over the Filipino name. Of course, the best value for name=* is whatever name they use in the lingua franca (e.g. Visayan, Bicolano, etcetera), but between Filipino and English, I would prefer the former.

Hello @Lexie1777! Awesome to see you using OrganicMaps.

Could you elaborate on these "community centers" you added? Their names (VTL001, CL001) look very odd, and it's possible that you meant to map something else?

Hola! Thank you for your edit.

Glad to see more contributors from Zamboanga. I'm sure it has changed a lot since the last time I've been there.

It's awesome that you added these buildings.

Do you know that #MapWithAI is available in the Philippines, and complement your mapping, and take advantage of Artificial Intelligence detections to add buildings more quickly?

Try it out: https://mapwith.ai/rapid

Salamat sa'yong pag-kumpirmá nitó. Puedeng markahan ang gusali ng building=warehouse , at lagyan pa ng ibang detalye.

Good to see you trying out #MapComplete's theme to Map all the trees! 😀

What do you think?

Thanks for adding these cell towers.

Instead of adding "Globe Cellsite" as a name, which strictly isn't true. You might want to specify the other attributes: MNC, MCC, gsm:cellid , if you know them.

You can add the tower's operator (e.g. a third-party, other than Globe)

Hey, thanks for continuing to improve OpenStreetMap.

I remember you mentioned how you like to add trees, and I wonder if you ever tried the MapComplete theme specific for that: https://mapcomplete.osm.be/trees ?

MapComplete is a theme-specific editor for OpenStreetMap, and probably one of the easiest editor to use in OSM.

Thanks for making the map "greener"! 😎

By the way, there's another way of mapping trees, especially tree-lined highways: osm.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree_row

Hope you find that interesting.

Congratulations on your first edit! There's no "approval" process in OSM, and your data will appear on the map soon after you've edited it.

I updated some of the tags you used. You may want to check out related wiki pages:
* osm.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dbeauty
* osm.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dclinic
* osm.org/wiki/Good_practice

In OSM convention, "clinics" are medical clinics. Your feature is probably better tagged as shop=beauty, based on the description I read from their social media page.

Thanks for improving OSM!

Welcome to OSM, and thank you for helping make OpenStreetMap b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ awesome.😉

Try to be more specific with your changeset comment. It should provide other mappers some idea about what you did exactly in the changeset.

Is there any reason you're mapping mostly trees in particular?

@user_5359, my reading is that it's supposed to be the administrative boundary for the village, albeit with the wrong tags.

I was asking for a clarification, because I strongly suspect it came from a source incompatible with OSM.

It's been a year, without any response, so I wouldn't object to having it redacted.
