Thanks for your contributions! Don't forget to tag each building as "building" though, otherwise they are just empty shapes. Also make sure to ensure they are the right shape, most buildings will be rectangular or square. You can click the 's' button on your keyboard to make the corners 90 degrees. Thanks for mapping!

Hi Alexandra. Primary and secondary roads should only be the most important highways in a country. These are small rural roads that should be unclassified or residential. Check out the Africa Highway Tagging page: osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa

Hi Peter. This road already existed when you added it (osm.org/way/588421617). Please check for existing roads before adding new ones. Thanks for mapping!

In particular, this corner: osm.org/node/2833603505#map=19/12.98507/7.61232

You can learn more at learnosm.org , I'd recommend reading that site

Hello, you mistakenly dragged a corner of the road, so there is a big triangle now. We can fix it, but make sure to be careful with what features you are moving. Thanks for mapping!

Hi Usman,

Thank you for contributing to OSM! It is best to represent each road with only one feature. You are adding some roads that already exist. Please look for an existing road before adding a new one. Let me know if you have any questions. Here is more info osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

Great, thank you!

Hello, thanks for your edits! I think the top of osm.org/way/588867619 is a little off though according to imagery, it is currently going through parking spaces. I think it should go farther east and then turn 90 degrees

Hi there, thanks for your edits! However I think the highway=service you added should probably be either highway=residential or highway=unclassified, it looks like a regular through street. Also I think the small segment (osm.org/way/588875194) should be part of the main way, and the round part should be its own way. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello sev_osm,

I saw your earlier edits fixing some of the villages that were previously mapped only with primary roads, thanks!

However, in this changeset and other road classification changes you recently made in Nigeria and Chad, you have incorrectly downgraded several major roads to tracks. In most of these changes the road includes a ref= tag, are paved, and serve as connectors between major cities. Per the Nigeria project page all federal roads should be primary osm.wiki/WikiProject_Nigeria#Roads and the changes also don't match the Highway Tag Africa guidelines.

Can you please revert these changes? Since there are quite a few, you may also want to ask for some additional help from the Data Working Group. Thank you.

Hi there, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I see you are adding some highway=motorway -- that means a controlled access, divided highway, like an interstate highway in the US or an autobahn. In this case this looks like a much smaller road. Please refer to the task instructions for your HOT task and follow them, in this case it asks only for buildings. You also might want to ask whoever organized your event for help. Thanks!

Hi there, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I see you are adding some highway=motorway -- that means a controlled access, divided highway, like an interstate highway in the US or an autobahn. In this case it looks like a small dirt road. Please refer to the task instructions for your HOT task and follow them, in this case it asks only for buildings. Thanks!

Hi there, please make sure to map buildings as squares tagged building=yes instead of points. Also for this task you don't need to add land use. Thanks

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for your edits! It looks like you are adding a bridge to this road but you accidentally tagged the whole road as a bridge. Here is a short guide for mapping bridges: osm.wiki/Key:bridge#Short_tutorial_on_bridge_mapping

There are also some brief tutorial videos here that might help too. Thanks, and I hope you keep mapping! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb9506_-6FMHZ3nwn9heri3xjQKrSq1hN

Thanks for your mapping! You added a lot of features like restaurant, church, cafe, and so on but it looks like you were using Bing imagery. Have you been to this place? If not, please just map what you are sure of, like this is a building, rather than guessing what might be in the building. Thanks!

oops, using Checkin Checker

Hi there, it looks like you adjusted the India-Bhutan border and removed some roads here, do you have a source for that? Thanks.

Hi there, I just noticed this issue. it looks like you moved an entire town and it doesn't match up with imagery or OSM GPS traces, can you explain more about the edit? Thanks

Hi there. Thanks for mapping! It looks like you mistakenly deleted the place=city tag for Dhaka so I will re-add it. Be careful with big, important features like this.
