Changeset When Comment

I mostly asked because I'd read this recently: osm.wiki/What%27s_the_problem_with_mechanical_edits%3F

Were these changes manually reviewed?

Yes, as stated in the previously linked Automated Edits code of conduct, discussion is typically held on the relevant mailing list.
Also as a quirk of local governance some establishments may well be nominally open until 23:59 and it would be perfectly reasonable for them to display this instead of 'midnight'.

IIRC traffic on the circle must yield to inbound traffic at nodes 289189608 & 289189063 (probably node 289189616 too). I have modified to junction=circular.

I think your changeset comment might be about a previous edit.

Do you have a source for this address? It seems odd for lot 1 to be on a neighbouring street and in the middle of a neighbourhood.

Also, in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, The Bahamas is abbreviated BS not BM (Bermuda).

I think what you have traced as an extension of Montgomery Crescent is actually a maintenance track / cutline for a minor power line. I have split the way and updated the tagging of the new portion to reflect this.

Is this quite new? It isn't on the Satellite imagery yet.

That may be somewhat true for a road, but what valid interaction local detail could have with the Bermuda Triangle is beyond me (save at the end points).

I think the utility of this view on OSM Inspector is that many long ways are caused by things like a node being drastically misplaced accidentally (e.g. moved to 0,0) and are not realistic.

In other cases the way needs further legitimate refinement from imagery or survey (as you have done in some of your other recent edits). Artificial division of those ways masks a problem that still exists from people who may be able to resolve it. If no more detailed information is available, then I think the sparse data we have should remain as is rather than being further ingrained by interpolation.

In some cases though these long segments are real and I think should remain as is. In this particular case I think there is far greater danger from the way getting falsely entangled with objects in the Atlantic than there is from accidental duplication etc.

What is the utility of this edit?

It appears this only creates the opportunity to introduce erroneous deviation to lines that are straight by definition and contradicts:

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Just to let you know, the object you have added as "waterway=dock" is normally tagged in OSM as "man_made=pier".
I have updated the object to show this.

Have fun mapping.

This object has a smaller area than a football pitch and doesn't look like it could possibly pose as a rival city to Nassau.
Perhaps you intended to edit Winter Haven, Florida?

Are you sure this is a street? It looks more like a path.

Hello, Welcome to OSM.
I notice you have tagged a couple of swimming pools as ponds. The typical tagging for these is leisure=swimming_pool. This is easiest to find in the online iD editor using the search bar at the top of the left panel.

Actually imagery traces.

JOSM does have an "upload selection" tool too if you find you want to separate edits into sections.

Also DigitalGlobe imagery.

Is the sports hall still standing? If so the building tag should remain in addition to the tags about usage. If not it's best to delete the roof:shape information too.

Actually Strava heatmap traces.

Definite goof. Fixed now,
Thanks
