Please do not change things in OSM just for Pokemon Go. This was already marked as a park. You modified the name and description which won't change anything in Pokemon Go anyway. Note that it is completely unknown how often Niantic updates its map data. This park was added to OSM in early December and it may take several months to show up in Pokemon. I have undone your changes to the park.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. You are adding some excellent details to the map! I was just looking over some changesets that mention Pokemon Go in the comments. Some of them are... well... "sub-par". But yours are great. If you haven't seen it already, please check out the wiki if you aren't sure how to map something. wiki.osm.org. Happy mapping!

I see. It seemed like an odd deletion because only some sections were deleted and it does empty into other waterway features. Do you think tagging it as waterway=drain would be accurate? See osm.wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddrain

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please do not add things that do not exist on the ground. This "lake" is clearly not real. If you are trying to manipulate the Pokemon game... well please don't. I have removed this lake. If you have any real world information to add, OSM would welcome your contributions!

Please note that the opening_hours tag has a specific syntax. This one should be "Mo-Fr 08:00-17:00" - no AM/PM or full week day names.This is meant to be a machine readable format. Apps on phones and such parse this format and turn it into usable data for users. For more information on the tag, see this wiki page: osm.wiki/Key:opening_hours

Oh and of course the "casino" and mosque across the street which as far as I can tell is actually a united methodist church.

Ping on this. It seems like some things have been cleaned up but in particular I would like to point out the river and lake near this house (pokemon spawn related?) and the night club nearby that looks like a residential house from aerial imagery.

Was deleting the baseball diamonds intentional? They seem to still be there on aerial imagery but obviously that might be out of date.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please do not add imaginary things to the OSM database. Once real things and imaginary things start getting mixed up it can be difficult to untangle them. If you want to make maps enhanced with features that don't exist in the real world, please have a look at things like http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/ Or you can use JOSM to download the existing OSM data and then modify it locally all you want. Then you can either render it with a custom paint style in JOSM or use a renderer like Maperitive or TileMill or something to make an image out of it. Thanks!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for your additions. Do you know that you can select from several different aerial imagery providers? It looks to me like the DigitalGlobe Standard imagery is much more up to date than Bing in this area and may be of more use to you while editing. Use the layer menu on the right side of the editor window to select a different set of imagery.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. A couple of objects you have added to the map look... well, odd. I have removed the quarry/lake mapped over a house and the park at the same location since these are clearly not correct. What exactly were you TRYING to map? I am happy to give you some pointers if you have any questions.

To report vandalism like this, send an email to data@osmfoundation.org. I am already working on undoing this round of vandalism.

54743987 over 7 years ago

Well the bit about it being a building import was wrong (I forgot to change a value in the script) but yeah, all of these changes should be reverted now.

This user was intentionally vandalizing the map. Several people contacted the Data Working Group about it and I have tried to clean things up. Beware that after being banned, the user created a second account and continued vandalizing so please keep an eye out for more stuff like this over the next few days and contact data@osmfoundation.org if you see something that needs to be dealt with. Thank you for keeping an eye on the map!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. While you seem to have added a few things to the map correctly, I see a lot of what seem to be junk edits, like this one. Did Pokemon bring you here? Either way, I need to get your garbage cleaned up. Can you please help me sort out what is good data to keep? Otherwise I'm just going to have to undo all of your edits. Thanks.

Toby, On behalf of the Data Working Group.

This changeset imported West Point which was already mapped. Why did you feel the need to replace what was already there? The imported data seems like a step back in terms of accuracy from what previous mappers had already contributed.

Also, you imported it with a bunch of junk tags and then updated it to match OSM tagging conventions. Please clean up your import data before uploading it.

I am investigating this as a member of the Data Working Group because a complaint has been raised about your replacing already existing data with data of inferior quality. I may end up reverting these edits but I need to do some more checking first.

Yeah, this user was a clear SEO spammer along with 4 other users that were all created around the same time and with identical edits. I nuked them all last night.

53677263 over 7 years ago

This is one of several spam accounts that have been creating fake data over the last few days trying to boost SEO rankings. The data is going to get reverted shortly.

This changeset has been reverted in osm.org/changeset/53728071

In particular, this line was acting as an address interplation to let the OSM based geocoders function better even without complete address coverage. Please do not delete something just because you don't understand it.
