Hi LongBeach2,

Thanks for your contribution. Unfortunately I've had to revert it, because it introduced errors in the multipolygon for the Addicks Reservoir, making it disappear from the map. Moreover, the individual park areas within the Addicks Reservoir are not excluded from the reservoir—the parks flood if the basin floods.

...and operator:wikidata=Q267122 to BNSF trackage

Actually added operator:wikidata=Q125943. Disregard changeset comment

Hi WC392309,

Why has Bandera Road been changed from primary to trunk here? What is meant by traffic flow and recognizability?

Hi WC392309 and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

What is the reason behind these sweeping changes to roadway classifications? Berry Street was previously tertiary and Irvington Boulevard was secondary—how come they are now primary?

Hi again. Other stations around the country also have redundant or trivially derived info signed on the ground, such as the state abbreviation or some combination of the words "Amtrak" or "Station", but this is extraneous and not meant to be included in name=*. For most railway stations, the name is just the name of the locality it serves.

Exceptions to this include cities with more than one train station (e.g. Newark Penn and Newark Broad Street in New Jersey), as well as historic train terminals in certain cities. But Amtrak, the sole operator here, doesn't seem to give this station any such special treatment, which indicates that it falls under the default case: the name is just the locality's name.

Even Amtrak's GTFS feed considers the name to be just "Eugene": https://www.transit.land/stops/s-9rb6wgyzhp-eugene?feed_onestop_id=f-9-amtrak~amtrakcalifornia~amtrakcharteredvehicle&feed_version_sha1=fdad1b2ee827ed9543cf0ffc807f2d9c0d36e1bb&stop_id=EUG

And where these communities are listed as a test case: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/slash-separated-native-american-names/6705/17

It's a developing situation. Here's an overview of the current discussion: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/multiple-delimited-names-in-the-name-tag/6803/225

No accusations of vandalism have been made.

In the US we've been using semicolons to delimit multiple names of equal importance. For the predominantly Hasidic Jewish municipalities in NY, where Yiddish is prevalent in day-to-day communication, the Yiddish name should be present in name=*.

Hi Adam and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

While Orting may be considered a city by the state of Washington, it is not a city for OSM purposes. On OSM, we classify places as cities, towns, villages or hamlets based on their population and regional prominence. With a population of less than 10,000, Orting is properly classified as a village according to US tagging guidelines: osm.wiki/United_States/Tags#Places

Your other edits look great! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi mblumber and thank you for your contributions! I appreciate your attention to detail.

I noticed you had merged the train station node for Basking Ridge with the building outline. Station buildings are just one part of stations—when stations are mapped as areas, they should encompass the whole station grounds, not just the building. railway=station on building=* is usually a tagging error.

Would you mind re-separating the station and building according to tagging guidelines?

I think that's meant to be from the AirTrain walkway to platform level. I'm not local to NYC and I haven't been to Jamaica station in years, so if you have more context on the stairs and escalators, feel free to fix them.

Hi jmarchon,

It looks like you merged the train station node with the building outline here. railway=station with building=* is usually a tagging error. Station buildings are just one part of train stations—if a station is mapped as an area, it should cover the whole station grounds, not just the building.

Was this intentional? Could you please re-separate the station and the building?

-Clay

Hi Wes0,

In this changeset and this other one osm.org/changeset/129967189 I noticed that the station nodes for Lyndhurst and Kingsland were deleted, and railway=station was added to the corresponding station buildings. According to OSM guidelines, railway=station as an area must represent the station grounds, not the station building: osm.wiki/Tag:railway%3Dstation

Were these changes intentional? Could you please undo them?
