Hi Borishman, welcome to OSM. I noticed that the way for the golf club (osm.org/way/683470873) makes two laps around the golf club. There should only be a single boundary in order to draw the area. Can you remove one of the two loops? Thanks.

Hi TOGA,
osm.org/way/21453053 is now crossing back over itself on the southern end, which is considered bad mapping practice. Is there something you can do to make sure this doesn't happen? Thanks.

If the site can not do https, or doesn’t want to use https, this change wouldn’t have been made. These changes are only done to sites that actively announce their desire for clients to talk to them on port 443.

I found four other "rooms" with the same shape:

osm.org/way/675236765
osm.org/way/675236761
osm.org/way/675236753
osm.org/way/675236751

Did you want to correct or delete those?

I agree with your second statement.

68449566 over 6 years ago

Ah! That makes a lot more sense. Thanks @trigpoint.

Thanks for the info DaveF. I was unaware that this was valid information. What software turns those into clickable links? I'll happy correct them to be valid in the future. As for adding them to the bot, I want to keep the bot focused on it's agreed on task. I correct oddities that I see by hand since they are relatively rare.

I’m not familiar with openlevelup. There are a couple more issues that I’ve noticed with the indoor mapping. I could let you know when I return to my desktop if that helps.

Hi F4sOWRt, thanks for your contributions to OpenStreetMap. I wanted to let you know about a best practice for drawing parking lot aisles to help you in future mapping. The paths should never cross over themselves or overlap on top of themselves. So parking lots like Honey Creek Mall shouldn't be drawn with a single path, but instead use many individual paths. Maybe break it up into a one path per horizontal line, and then vertical lines that connect each of the horizontal endpoints.

Shouldn't osm.org/way/675236748 be a rectangle? Right now, it is just a three sided way that doubles back on itself.

Hi RileyBaum, I made some improvements to your parking lot area (osm.org/way/677521666). Let me know what you think.

Hi there BeccaG. I'm curious to know if there is a reason that there are two farmland ways right next to each other here? It seems like they should be combined into one larger way, right? If there is something I'm missing, please let me know. Thanks.

URLs without a schema (http/https/etc) will default to http.

Please go ahead and make necessary updates. I don't know the area, nor the language enough to make updates there.

@jdcarls2 is correct. In fact, I did silently fix the first couple of mistakes like this that I found. Then I realized it was a pattern of MAJORHIGH to draw areas in this manor. The example I gave might take 2 seconds, but others I saw would take significantly longer and as it has been pointed out, it would be much easier to correct the problem at the source.

Also, I'm truly interested in the "why" it is happening. I'm surprised that iD even allows someone to make this mistake. Maybe a bug should be filed against iD to prevent this in the future.

Why are you drawing area nodes out of order and making what looks like a twisted figure eight? osm.org/way/675872765 for example?

67739835 over 6 years ago

Hi there, can you go back in and fix osm.org/way/44380254 ? You deleted many of the nodes and broke the way. Thanks.

67650557 over 6 years ago

FYI, you are double importing the same (sometimes slightly different) shapes for buildings leaving two buildings overlapping each other.

See osm.org/way/673599110 for an example.

Hi there doublepar, thanks for adding to OpenStreetMap. I wanted to let you know something about paths that will help you be a better mapper for future paths that you add. When drawing the line, it shouldn't cross over itself, nor overlap itself. What you want to do is start a new path whenever that situation arises. I've gone ahead and cleaned up the gold cart paths here. I hope this helps.

Hi @Case. I've reverted this changeset and will be looking at the validity of the others that you've made. Please only create OSM features where there are actual on-the-ground features. I saw that a farmer's field had about 20 bike rental shops strewn all over it. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish or if this was made in error or maybe you didn't realize this was going to be publicly visible. If I've deleted any valid bike shops, I apologize.
