Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. I see that in this edit you deleted a bunch of driveways. Driveways are commonly mapped features in OpenStreetMap, and it looks like the ones that you deleted were valid. Is there a particular reason that you deleted them, or was it a mistake?

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thank you for your contributions. In OpenStreetMap, residential addresses are mapped at the location of the house, not attached to the street. I'm not sure which side of the street 7891 is on. If you'd like to map the address, you can create a node and use the Address preset and fill out the fields.

Hi,
I reviewed your edit, as you requested. I couldn't get past the fact that you copied from Google Maps. Contributors to OpenStreetMap are not allowed to copy from Google Maps. Please see osm.wiki/FAQ#Why_don.27t_you_just_use_Google_Maps.2Fwhoever_for_your_data.3F for more information.

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I reviewed your edit, as you requested, and I think that it's good. You did accidentally remove the building tag from your Windham location, so I fixed that, and I also added a link to your website to both locations.
Thank you for your contribution!

Hi,
This business has several small buildings in it, not one big building. Businesses that span several buildings are better off being represented as a node.

Hi,
In OpenStreetMap, we separate the house number and street names in addresses. So for this address, the house number of 75 goes in the number field, and the street name of 2nd East goes in the street field. Because this address has a directional prefix, the expanded version of that goes in the street field as well, for a totally expanded street name of "South 200 East". Also, when you are creating area features that are the size of one building, you should add building tags to that feature.

Hi,
In OpenStreetMap, we expand abbreviations in street names and addresses. For example, a street name that is abbreviated as "Coyote Gulch Ct", is expanded to "Coyote Gulch Court". Also, most buildings have 90° angles. The editor you were using has a tool to help create these neat angles. When you have a building selected, press the "q" key, and the corners will become squared. Or you can right click on the building and press the button to square corners.

Hi,
I decided to change Utah State Route 900 back to unclassified. While there is some language in the Wiki saying that state routes can be tagged as secondary, this route is a special case because it was only created for political reasons and connects no population centers.

Hi,
Once again, Cherry Peak is much larger than this single building.

Hi,
Why did you decide to tag the entire building with the tags of one of the tenants? Why did you pick that tenant over the other?

106922650 about 4 years ago

Hmm, interesting, I wonder how that got started in Nevada. Regardless, in Utah we try to follow national and global guidance as much as we can (though with some locally controversial deviations like with street names). Here are some relevant Wiki pages. This page describes the tagging for the fueling area: osm.wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfuel. And this page describes the one feature, one element guideline: osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element.

Hi,
In this edit you duplicated all of the contact and address information for the gas station and convenience store across 4 objects, and the descriptive tags for the gas station and convenience store across 2 objects. I have never seen this style of mapping before, and can't find it documented anywhere in the Wiki. Do you have some sort of textual back-up for not following the one feature, one element guideline?

106903677 about 4 years ago

That's up to them. Some routers don't honor access tags, and maybe they don't as well. You could ask them following the instructions at https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917777-How-do-I-contact-Strava-Support- and https://support.garmin.com/en-US/ respectively. They ought to consider through-routing down an access=private roadway as a bug, imo. They can't assume any individual user has permission to be there.

106903677 about 4 years ago

Hi,
This road cannot meet the definition of "no" access because it is the only access to lots 25 and 25-1. Also, those homes do not look abandoned. I mentioned that in a previous changeset comment as well.

106788133 about 4 years ago

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thank you for your contributions. I reviewed your edit, as you requested. You left the trail around the eastern butte in a broken state, so I fixed that. I checked the NPS park tiles map at https://www.nps.gov/cany/planyourvisit/maps.htm, and it says that the loop around the western butte is part of the official trail, but you removed the loop. Can you explain the discrepancy?

Hi,
In this changeset, you deleted a new street. I'm guessing that you did that because it didn't appear in the imagery that you were using. The city is growing outward very quickly, so there are lots of streets that have been built in the last 10 years. It's important to check with up-to-date imagery before deleting things.

The Maxar Premium Imagery layer is the newest nearly everywhere by design. In rural areas, the same image will appear in the Esri World Imagery and Mapbox layers.

Hi,
In this edit, you deleted several streets and driveways that were built in the last few years. Be sure to be checking dates when you are doing TIGER cleaning, not every stray road is a mistake.

I finally had the time to give this the full review you requested. I had initially just checked Colcord Road and assumed that you were confusing ownership for access, but now I have checked all the ones you added access=private to in this edit. I found that Caverly Court, Colcord Road, Harty Way, Estate Drive, Kessler Way, Flower Drive, Harlan Drive, Nippo Drive, Misty Lane, Donigan Lane, Small Road, and Crossley Road had no markings indicating access=private but did have markings indicating ownership=private. I could find no markings for access=private or ownership=private for Yearling Drive, Neal Lane, and Jacob's Way. I could find no way that you tagged with access=private that had any signage stating that. So I believe that you were confusing ownership for access.

As for surfaces, in your recent edits you continue to tag unpaved Class V roads with surface=dirt, even though that combination is extremely rare. The vast majority of unpaved public highways have been improved and should have surface=compacted or surface=fine_gravel. In this edit particularly, you tagged an asphalt driveway off of Caverly Court as surface=dirt, though that is likely due to making a bad assumption than the more fundamental issue of treating surface=dirt as a synonym for surface=unpaved.

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I reviewed your edit as you requested. I noticed that you made some common tagging mistakes. One thing is that the meadow tag is for things like grazing areas and hay fields, and the grass tag is for things like lawns. Another is that the way we tag driveways to houses is to use the driveway or service road presets, not the minor/unclassified road preset, which is more complicated. You might be interested in osm.wiki/Key:highway#Roads which has more information on OSM's system for tagging paths and highways.

One other thing, most buildings in real life have neat 90° corners, and the editor comes with a tool to help make corners right angles. You activate the tool by pressing the q key when you have a building selected, or you right click on a building and select "Square".

Thank you for your contributions!
