Thanks naoliv

Yes

I figured out what you mean by tagging the nodes highway=path. The nodes don't get a tag just the ways. I am downloading the changeset to correct this. or I could delete the changeset if you prefer.

Thanks mueschel that makes more scene. Sorry for the trouble this has caused you. Looking for the best way to fix your concerns or if I should just delete the data. Here are my thoughts so far.
1. I didn't know about the node vs way tagging requirement and that it caused problems. I thought that a node tagged gave the way it's tag. I may have found a way to fix the miss tagged nodes relatively quickly.
2. that is obviously wrong and should be relatively easy to fix by downloading the changeset correcting and uploading, or if you prefer just deleting the changeset.
3. In this case unless the houses are out of line then the roads are wrong and need to be fixed. Sorry I didn't realize the roads were a problem.
4. It seems that US federal documents are open source but some state documents are not. I will check with the state of Tennessee on this question if possible. and if appropriate (if open source) submit the information for community review.

As this information appears to be open source and accurate I think it would be a great addition to osm. I want to do the import properly. Thanks for the direction.

would you like me to undo the changeset?
1, Sorry you needed to spend that much time cleaning.
2. I would fix this if you haven't already. Once again Sorry for your time if you did fix it.
3. I thought someone would want the extra data. Aparently another mistake, Sorry.
4. This is where I got instructions on how to tag hiking trails. osm.wiki/Hiking
I must be not understanding something because it still seams to me like I followed the wiki in tagging the trails.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your concern. Here is my thoughts on each of the items you mention.
1. I did see one overlapping way and did not know if it was an aditional trail or the same trail. I proboboly should have not left it in.
2. Unnamed is what the tennessee state calles the trail. I thought if the state calls the trail Unnamed then this should seem correct. But if this against some OSM "good practices" policy I can fix it.
3. When United States Government Tiger "Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing system (TIGER) data, produced by the US Census Bureau" maps where imported into OSM there were " some tags that don't seem to be in the database.' I thought I was following previous precedent. But once again if this against some OSM "good practices" policy I can fix it.
4. I added the tags because there where "ten thousands" of nodes on the highways and path. I tagged the nodes exactly as recommended on the open street wiki.
Please let me know the wiki page that addresses these concerns.

HI mueschel,
Thank you for your concern.
The location of the buildings is good and accurate. I have been very careful not to import incorrect data or duplicate buildings or overlapping buildings into the database. Please be more specific as to what you mean by "crap".
Thanks,
