Thanks for the fix :)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thank you for your updates. I think you may have made an inadvertent mistake while adjusting the footpaths. Please check out this one: osm.org/way/5583156

It appears to be incorrectly joined to the corner of the building which makes it zig-zag. To detach it from the building, select the point where they join in the editor. A pop-up menu will appear which includes a "Disconnect" option. The icon has two arrows pointing away from each other. Once you do that, you will be able to grab the points and drag them individually without affecting other lines like the building and other footpaths.

I went ahead and split out the bridge on Alligator Road. Do you know how long the bridge will be out? I haven't marked it as closed yet.

Hi and thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap. If these bridges really are washed out and the road is closed, then you need to split the road and either completely remove the section where the bridge is or mark it as being under construction. If the road is closed, we don't want people to be routed along it but the areas you have drawn do not affect routability at all.

To split a road, first select the road itself. Then you will see dots appear along it. Select one of these dots and a pop-up menu will appear that includes a scissors icon. This button will split the road into two segments. Do this on either side of the bridge. Then you can select the bridge itself and delete it or mark it as under construction.

Just don't forget to put it back once the bridge is fixed!

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap. It looks like you added an empty point to the map here which won't fix your address problem. If you want to actually fix it, you will need to log in and edit the point to actually include address information. Also, you say "the software" - what software, out of curiosity? There are probably hundreds of different apps and services that use OpenStreetMap data.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thank you for the information you added in this edit! It has good address information which is valuable to OSM. The one thing that is missing is what "China Palace" actually is. I'm guessing a restaurant? To fix this you can log back in to the editor, select the outline and click on the "Commercial Building" heading on the left. Then you can search for "restaurant" in the text box that appears in its place and select that. Doing this will allow apps that use OSM data to classify it as a restaurant in searches and such. Thanks for contributing!

Ah, well in that case, all is well. Thank you for the clarification. Happy mapping!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks for your interest in improving the map! Note that in this particular edit you didn't actually add anything. You drew a shape but didn't tag what it is or put a name on it so it's just an empty shape. I'm honestly not sure myself how to map a natural sinkhole but you could at least add a name to it for starters. I'll see if I can find any better way to tag it as a natural well or something like that...

Update: I found Cody Street in Census Bureau data which we are allowed to use in OpenStreetMap since it is public domain. I added it and a couple other street names in the area. But if you have local knowledge, please verify my changes! Government data can be... "questionable" at times :)

I would assume any weight restriction in the U.S. is tagged in short tons because that is what is on the sign. That's how we tag other things. maxspeed=60 mph. maxheight/maxwidth=13'3". Why should weight be any different? The only thing that makes this more complicated is that "ton" can have 3 different meanings but that's a problem to take up with the english language, not the tagging philosophy of OSM.

And I totally typo'd the word "Lane" yesterday. Oops. Fixed now.

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thank you for adding an address to the map. I will note that we don't typically name individual homes in OSM. The address is definitely valuable information though.

Hey Scott, welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Thanks for the new road! Note that we prefer un-abbreviated road types. It's a lot easier to automatically shorten things (Street -> St) as opposed to correctly expanding things (St -> Street or Saint? Dr -> Drive or Doctor? etc) I went ahead and expanded "Ln" to "Lane" :)

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap. I notice you added a point with an address of Cody Street but I don't see a Cody Street labeled in this area. Is the unnamed road to the east Cody Street? If so, it would be awesome if you could put a name on the street itself and, if you know the area, also the other 3 unnamed streets. Thanks!

I fixed it :)

I see you found the edit button :)

I see you added a point with an address and a name of "Home Depot" which is good but you didn't mark the fact that it is a store (or specifically a hardware store). If you go back into edit mode and click on the point you created, it will say "Address" in the bar at the top of the left panel. If you click on that and then start typing "Home Depot" the editor presets should find and show a "Home Depot - DIY store" option. Click on that and then save that change. Then the store will be properly marked as a store.

Thanks for your contribution!

Hi. Welcome to OpenStreetMap. I've been mapping in Manhattan, KS for a few years now and keep an eye out for new users in Kansas.

Thank you for your addition. However I must point out that you mapped this parking lot as a park. As in, a green space you would take your dog to :)

Please log in again and select the "Car Parking" option.

Hi. Welcome to OpenStreetMap. I'm a mapper in Manhattan, KS and try to keep an eye on Kansas in OSM and your username just popped up. What exactly were you trying to put on the map with this change? It looks like a private residence? If so, we generally don't map the occupant names of homes. However, we would gladly take the address! Addressing is very important to OSM.

You and like 4 of your classmates all added the James Madison statue. Please go back and clean up the duplicates :)
