Don't worry about reverting it, I can take care of that. ;) It requires you to download JOSM, which can be a little tough to figure out when you're just starting. Keep up the good work otherwise, it's great to see other mappers in the State College area!

Hi Halbig, welcome to OSM! I see you changed a lot of tags from office=administrative to office=government, likely because the iD editor suggests that the office=administrative tagged is deprecated. While this is true, office=government is not an appropriate tag for university administrative offices since they aren't government run. For that reason, I think it would be best to revert this changeset and be a little more careful when reviewing iD's suggested tag updates, let me know what you think.

Totally agree that there isn't really a suitable tag for this type of feature yet... but the feature does still exist in some capacity. Would it maybe be best to tag it as natural=dry_lake (proposed feature), natural=water+intermittent=yes, or a tagless feature?

I can understand why it may bother you how some types of roads look on the map, but you should always choose tags that most accurately describe the feature regardless of how it renders. I'd recommend reading the wiki descriptions of tags to get a better understanding of what should be used. It can be a little subjective at times, so sometimes it's helpful to look at some really well mapped areas nearby and follow their tagging schemes.

As for your point on google maps, OSM is not intended to be a replica of google maps and you should never copy data from them. They spend a lot of time and money creating their maps and it's considered stealing to use their data, satellite imagery or street view to contribute to OSM. For that reason, I'm going to revert this back to a service road.

Hi, do you mind explaining why you changed this from a service road to a residential road? Residential road is usually reserved for roads that are lined with houses.

I knew there was a park there but couldn't find the name anywhere! Nice addition

I believe it was deleted by changesets 91777463, 91777587, 91777706, and 91777922. Possibly others, that's just what I could find from the relation history

Hey, thanks for reverting this! Would you mind taking a look into reverting the changesets that deleted this park nearby? osm.org/relation/5429983
I was going to give it a try... But not very experienced with the reverts yet and probably would've just created more issues.

Hi, is there a reason that you deleted the North Country Trail relation (#880851) in this changeset? Previously, there was a parent relation that bound all of the individual relations for each state that the NCT passes through. I think it might be best to revert this changeset, let me know what you think.

Welcome to OSM! Are the names that you added to these trails their official, posted names? I've gone runs through these gamelands a few times and don't recall these trails having any signs that would indicate a name

Hi, do you mind explaining why you deleted this park and all of the trails in it? The park appears to still be in service according to: https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/ErieBluffsStatePark/Pages/default.aspx

Hi, please make sure you're paying attention to the direction of flow when you map rivers and streams! Nearly all of them in this area are flowing in the wrong direction - they should be all flowing into Lake Erie. If you're ever unsure, you can check one of the topographic map layers and map it so that it flows downhill. Also, many of these are mapped as rivers when it appears that they should be streams instead. If you're ever unsure, follow the wiki guideline of whether or not a fit adult could jump across it: osm.wiki/Tag:waterway=stream?uselang=en

Welcome to OSM! It seems you may have inadvertently deleted the amenity=university tag from the PSU campus relation while you were adding the bike shop in Brambleton, which caused the campus to disappear from the map. I went ahead and fixed it, but a good rule of thumb is to try to stick to a small area when editing and save before moving to a new location.

Kudos to you! This is a great example of how important it is to read the wiki as I (and likely many others) assumed that building=house was the best tag for most residential homes

Thanks for working on this! These were the last couple pieces I needed to complete the trail relation: osm.org/relation/1820324

I'm glad we were able to agree on a solution, great work! I didn't know about that European standard either... I'll have to check that out sometime.
@ppjj there's a section of the FLT that isn't associated with the NCT east of the Onondaga, do you mind naming those paths/tracks/footways as well? Thanks!

Is there any harm in having the name on the path? This is pretty typical for other hiking and cycling relations, e.g. AT, and makes it easy for people to identify the trail if they're using an app like Strava

Interesting... I guess I won't mess with it until I can survey it. Would be unfortunate if these really are the signed names lol

Curious - why did you revert back from loc_name to name on these trails? Pretty obvious that these were made up by some mountain bikers
