It would be great if the brand:* tags could also be changed to disused:brand:* or was:brand:*. Otherwise, these POIs still show up in queries for the current brand, and editors like iD still treat them as having associated Wikidata items (giving them a locked-down treatment).

Reverted in changeset 76619419. There’s no reason a highway=motorway_link can’t connect directly to a highway=tertiary. If an intervening highway=trunk were required, there would be a trunk road at the end of every freeway off-ramp and the beginning of every freeway on-ramp.

highway=trunk has an unfortunately ambiguous definition in the U.S., but even so, it isn’t intended to be a way to “average out” the road class of an adjacent link way.

If your team has systematically introduced highway=trunk tags in situations like this, could you please review and revert them, or coordinate with the community to do so? Thank you!

Reverted in changeset 76619187. Changeset 76619335 merges the POI to the correct building based on Bing Streetside imagery.

If you don’t know which building it is, please leave the POI alone and skip the MapRoulette task instead of merging the POI into multiple buildings. POIs imported from GNIS aren’t precise enough for you to assume that it corresponds to the building beneath it. Thank you for understanding.

CAGIS 2019 1-foot orthoimagery was the main source for this change.

Mapping parking lots can be useful, but please make sure to indicate access restrictions. The parking lot behind the fire station is only for emergency vehicles, so set access=no and optionally emergency=designated.

This changeset has been manually reverted in changeset 76287496. Please avoid using Bing aerial imagery in future edits, because it is many years out of date; what looked sloppy was actually correct.

Instead of Bing, use OSIP 6in by clicking the Map Data button on the right side of the editor. When you need something clearer than OSIP 6in, switch to Mapbox. When you need something newer than OSIP 6in, switch to Maxar or ask in the #ohio channel of OSMUS Slack for access to CAGIS. Thank you for your cooperation.

What’s with the firepit? Can you describe what this is in more detail? Perhaps there’s a more precise way to tag it.

The article was right. This is the Brotherhood Building; changeset 3410538 incorrectly gave that name to a building one block to the east, which is now demolished. Fixed in changeset 76282505.

Disregard the last part of the changeset comment.

When micromapping a pharmacy as a point within a drugstore, try to place the pharmacy point near the drive-through window, since that’s where the pharmacy counter is usually located within the store. For the large chains like Walgreens and CVS, the drive-through window is almost always the part of the building that juts out to the rear.

Also undivided a portion of Alexandria Pike that has a center turn lane down the middle.

These road names shouldn’t have been changed. The road is named “O’Fallon”. Many Irish surnames begin with “O’”. TIGER is unable to represent apostrophes, so that’s why there’s a space. I’ve re-replaced the spaces with curly apostrophes in changeset 75854742.

Hi, thanks for all your updates in the area lately. Especially when you realign features to aerial imagery, please consider opening the Background panel in the editor’s right sidebar and choosing an alternative to Bing aerial imagery. There’s a table comparing the available imagery providers at osm.wiki/Ohio but I’ve been pretty satisfied with the OSIP 6-inch imagery, which is more accurate and more recent.

Thanks for catching the missing access tag. Please note that the tag should be spelled access=emergency, not access=Emergency. service=emergency_access can also be useful for renderers.

CAGIS 2019 imagery was a source for some of these changes.
