Hi @DrElephant.

The OpenStreetMap convention is to retain as much usable data contributed by other mappers.

Instead of deleting objects, what you could do next time is to simply change the classification of the road.

So, for example, from highway=residential to highway=footway, if it's just a footpath.

Don't hesitate to ask question through any of these community channels: https://telegra.ph/OpenStreetMap-LoCo-channels-in-the-Philippines-02-15

This is awesome! Thank you for helping improve the map of your favorite neighbourhood.

Here's a tip: You don't have to put branch information on the proper name. For example, DTI Regional 3 office" is simply "Department of Trade and Industry", which will also keep the map tidy.

When you have a few minutes to spare, try the browser-based editor called iD, to edit the map of your community. You may find it quicker and easier if you need to update a lot of information on the map.

Hi @MarkClarenceAguilon.

I recently noticed your contributions to OpenStreetMap (OSM). Thank you! Kudos for using OpenStreetMap's to create a better map of your community. As you may know, your edit is immediately live in the main OSM (read it like "awesome" 😉) website as soon as they've been saved to the database, although other apps (e.g. OsmAnd, MagicEarth, Maps.Me, etc.) may take a few weeks (or months) to refresh their copies unless you do a manual update yourself.

When editing try to be mindful of what you're doing. It's quite easy to inadvertently move nodes and cause misalignment of roads like you did here:

Hello @Gerald Gomez

I recently noticed your contributions to OpenStreetMap (OSM). Thank you! Kudos for using OpenStreetMap's to create a better map of your community.

I noticed that you've been adding a lot of housenumbers. Do you know that there's a convenient app for that: osm.wiki/KeypadMapper ?

Hi @SEASALT.

I recently noticed your contributions to OpenStreetMap (OSM). Thank you! Kudos for using OpenStreetMap's to create a better map of your community.

With regard to this particular edit, the "camp site" tag is not necessary since you already tagged this object as a beach resort. The convention in OSM is: one feature, one element.

If you want to add details, you will have to create the appropriate feature for each, and not just lump them as one.

Hi @Christian Earl Magpayo.

I noticed your recent edits, and I can deduce that you're working with a telecom outfit and adding new details to the map. Thank you!

However, kindly use the appropriate tag for the objects you're mapping and not random features like convenience stores, or bookmaker, etc.

OpenStreetMap has a rich lexicon of tags for many features. Street Cabinets, for example, used by telecom or cable companies may be tagged as man_made=street_cabinet + street_cabinet = telecom (if applicable.)

When you have a few minutes to spare, try the browser-based editor called iD, to edit the map of your community. You may find it quicker and easier if you need to update a lot of information on the map.

Hi @Skyboi. Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Please don't add the branch information in the name field. For example, name=Jollibee is enough, and not name=Jollibee North Triangle.

If you want to record that information use the branch tag: branch=North Triangle

Hi there. I'd like to inquire about these book shops you've been adding, because they appear to be convenience stores?

Also, please don't use the name field other than for recording the name of the object. The housenumber, and street name values should go to their appropriate field.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! And thank you for your recent edits to help make a better map of your favorite neighborhood.

I noticed that you've been adding place name annotation to object names. The convention for this is to use the branch tag (e.g. branch = Capas) instead of adding it as a part of the name (name = Landbank Capas).

Check out the wiki page for details:osm.wiki/Key:branch

Hi there @DearPaulPH.

I'd like to point out that your u-turn mapping strategy of mapping these turns with just a shared node is not a convention that can be handled by all routing engines correctly.

For example, OSRM will not use the most immediate node and go further out until it find a suitable way to cross the divided highway. See http://imgur.com/Dmy6M7zl.png

The accepted convention is to draw a way between the divided highway, with an appropriate *_link tag.

I can see from your edits that you sometimes follow the convention, but not always. Could you look into those other edits (including those along Molino road, and re-tag them, following the convention?

By the way, in case you're interested and available, we're celebrating Open Data Day on 3rd March and it would be awesome if you can make it, and meet fellow mappers Free Software advocates, and other Open Data enthusiasts.

Hello @Snoworld. Welcome back to OpenStreetMap.
