Habib, thank you for contributing to OSM. Can you explain why you changed the name of Riyadh to persian Gulf in Arabic?

I'm reverting your change, please don't add wrong information to the map.

Thanks, have retagged them to barrier=kerb

Sorry about that, it was a case of lazy hands. Will be more careful from now on, thanks :)

Hey Anil, so good to see you editing here. Just gave Porabandar a facelift a week ago.

Hi Andrew, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for contributing. Many of your edits have name changes to 'Andrew Taylor' or similar family names. These includes names of towns, streets, buildings and even footpaths.

Can you provide a source for these changes and your reasoning to modify them? I'm going to revert all your edits to the map if you cannot provide a reasonable evidence for your changes.

Cheers,

You can check the articles again, it all mentions the new alignment as being a few blocks south of the old one. This is also mentioned on this map as existing I40 http://s8.photobucket.com/user/DougLoudenback/media/coretoshore/i40relocationaerial.jpg.html

The new motorway alignment has been open since a few years already. its the boulevard whose status is unknown.

From http://www.dougloudenback.com/oklahomacity/coretoshore.htm it looks like much of the old elevated expressway has been turned down and is being reconstructed as a boulevard. I'm retagging this as a primary road, but cant find references for the construction being complete.

Do you know if this road is open for traffic?

Hi Pooja, thank you for your contribution to OSM. I'm part of the [data team at Mapbox](osm.wiki/Mapbox#Mapbox_Data_Team) and my teammate from Bhopal noticed that there were many incorrect roads and road names added by you. On closer inspection he found that these roads and names appear in Google Maps at exactly the same location.

You can see the comparison of your incorrect edits here:

It might be a coincidence, but we're worried that you may be tracing from Google Maps which is copyright and [cannot be used to add data to OSM](osm.wiki/Legal_FAQ#2a._Can_I_trace_data_from_Google_Maps.2FNokia_Maps.2F....3F).

It would be great if you can explain what exactly happened so that we can clean this up and make sure there is no copyright data in OSM which could jeopardize the project. Do let me know if you need any assistance since it looks like you are still new to OpenStreetMap and we would love to see more contributions from you.

Ok this seems a little at odds with how i'm understanding highway tags, that they primarily define function of a way in the road network, otherwise most unpaved roads in developing countries would end up being tagged as tracks.

If tracks in UK don't follow the wiki guidelines of being for agro/forestry use, is there some alternate documentation on when a road becomes a track vs unpaved service road? What would be the guidelines one would give to a completely new mapper in the area?

> For instance many railway lines will have access tracks used by maintenance crews.

This should be an unpaved service road, no?

The section leads only to the Airport service road apart from the couple of properties and the footpath branching out. There are no ways that branch into farms to suggest this is primarily for agricultural use.

Have been trying to understand UK roads better and would really appreciate to know why you would say track is more suitable than service or unclassified for this segment.

Restored the deleted building. Nikhil, please be more careful with existing objects and make sure you don't accidentally remove the work of others while making improvements.

Hey FTA. Not sure what I was thinking at that time, but was likely a case of over enthusiastic mapping based on the building geometry and paths leading to it.
Thanks for highlighting this, I'm going to revert the change.
Cheers,

Aha thought so. Thats the whole power of OSM that you work on existing data instead of creating your own from scratch.

See if you can download all the data again and merge features by removing the duplicates. You would need to split(p), join(j) and combine(c) ways for this. let me know if you are stuck.

This is amazing work! But i'm seeing there is a lot of duplicated ways since you are drawing on top of roads that already exist. Did you download the existing data before you started?

Sorry, looks like its already cleaned up, thanks!

Multiple overlapping buildings in this area. Please do a cleanup, thanks.

Thanks, that is really useful to dig into!

No problem! Do you have any tool to find issues like this automatically? I'm worried more such cases go unnoticed.

Hey Map King!
Am trying to understand some of your edits in near Magnolia Ave.

See reference:

The satellite imagery does not corelate with your changes and wanted to know if you had some other source for those edits.
Cheers!
