About citing notes in changeset comments, yeah, I try to do that, too, but it's a bit complicated to do manually. I just found out there's a plugin for JOSM that should automate this: https://github.com/kmpoppe/noteSolver

About the notes, it's completely OK to use them as a "note for my future self". If the local mapping community doesn't like seeing a lot of open notes, then you'll find an agreement someway.

Hehe... you are going through all the stages of any serious mapping afficionado :)

Aerial imagery usefulness varies very much, depending on where you are. As you have noticed, the images can be quite old, distorted, misaligned, with bad resolution and too much shadows or tree cover etc. So it takes a lot of comparing to find out which is the newest, and which is the most detailed for an area.

To get the alignment right, you can try to use existing gps tracks and your own tracks. The more tracks there are, the smaller the average error will be.
I've looked at the Bing images alignment with JOSM, it is actually reasonably good for the island, no need to offset. Only problem is that the images are taken from an angle, so you don't see straight down in the city streets. You will have to trace the rooftops and then move the outline to where the ground level is.
Bing metadata says the images were taken between 2010 and 2016 :-(
Esri "Clarity" is even older if I look at some construction sites. Standard Esri is newer, Mapbox and Maxar have the same images but processed a little differently. The editors also offer the French BDOrtho, which is sadly not extending to Jersey.

Well done, crazy details! Though some people might consider the list of not-supported payment modes excessive (except maybe the more common ones like american express).
I wouldn't add microbrewery=no, since having a microbrewery is something special (still ;-), but not having one is to be expected.

Also, you don't need to add a source for every tag, one source=survey would be clear enough.

The detailed infos for wheelchair users are very useful. Great that you remember to look for this!

Yes, you're right, things that don't concern the whole building should ideally not be tagged on the building outline. So I would turn the supermarket into an POI node and place it somewhere sensible. There's also some people who like to do detailed indoor mapping but that's really a niche for now...

OSMCha says "Irrelevant tags on highway", I suspect it's triggered by the addr:country which is really not necessary.

Cool idea! I think Osmand may actually give a warning when encountering a "hazard".

If possible, choose a more detailed value from osm.wiki/Key:barrier
You could map who / what can still pass the barrier with access tags like "foot/bicycle=yes".

Maybe it would make sense to connect the parking entrance to the road using a short "highway=service"?

Looks good to me!

All's OK, but maybe the building outline could be squared. In ID and JOSM the key Q does this, in Vespucci it's a button with a right angle that looks a bit like an arrow.

I haven't tried Vespucci yet, it's definitely on my to-do list ;-) But for editing and QA of bigger areas, using a computer with keyboard may be more comfortable. JOSM and ID also have a lot of validation / QA checks included. E.g., I opened this area in ID and it complained about the driveway crossing the building (which was not changed in your edit). So it helps in finding such errors.

Hi again Lee,
one tiny hint: you can make a way square with a button in Vespucci (and in the other editors). This is helpful mostly for buildings.

Crazy detailed mapping! Very cool!
But the website says "Havre de Pas" as addr:street? That's a bit strange, for routing I would also guess "Greve d'Azette" should be the address.

Hi Lee, I'm following up on your request for reviews :-)

I'm impressed at the detailed tagging of those substations. Well done!
Since I'm not an expert on power mapping, I was looking at the wiki osm.wiki/Tag:power=substation and maybe a "substation=*" tag could be added if you find out what kind of substation these are (minor_distribution?). Or might power=transformer fit even better for small installations?

Maybe for economy, you could just use one "source=survey", since all the facts come from your survey. Only if some tag has another source, that could be indicated with a separate source:x=y
Also, I think official_name is not needed since it's the same as the main "name".
But these things are a matter of taste (like much OSM tagging...)

Sometimes, like it was here, I'm panning across the map looking for open notes with simple enough issues to be closed without checking locally. I wouldn't look for fixme-tags this way, because I would need to download the data first (or use some QA tool like Osmose). Fixme's are maybe more useful for yourself and locals that way.

Photos are very helpful in many cases! I've looked at mapillary when available, and StreetComplete is also great with this option. Of course, often text is clear enough.

One-word notes mostly aren't very helpful... I like when notes give a bit more info than just "this POI doesn't exist", e.g., if there was a shop, what is in there now?

I also like to add infos like websites to POIs, but I don't like to google too much for such stuff.

"Review requested" is a great idea, which works best when there are other local mappers who can help the newbies. When I have time, I'll look into some of your "review_requested" changesets. But I'm sure you're doing fine :-)

You're welcome ;-)
I was only armchair mapping as well as I could... great that there are a few local mappers on Jersey to make sure the quality of the map stays high!

Bonjour camaralass, merci pour vos améliorations et ajouts!

C'est beaucoup mieux ce fois ;-)
Veuillez svp assurer que vous n'ajoutez pas à nouveau un bâtiment déjà existant. Il est préférable d'améliorer les lignes existantes. T'as aussi oublié "building=yes" quelque fois.
Continuez svp, il y a beaucoup à faire :-)

Bonjour camaralass, et bienvenue à l'OSM! Svp veuillez ne donner que des choses qui existent dans la réalité. C'est ce que vous avez fait dans les derniers changesets. Je vais annuler cette modification ici.

Hi Söm4324, danke für die Arbeit an den Hinweisen. Noch ein kleiner Tip:
das "building=yes" sollte noch gelöscht werden, sonst ist das Gebäude gleichzeitig vorhanden und abgerissen ;-)
Außerdem könntest du noch die Baustelle eintragen, von der die Note berichtet.
Merci, daganzdaanda

Hi,
für ehemalige Namen gibt es noch ein besseres Tag: old_name=*
Manchmal könnte auch "lokaler Name" loc_name=* gut passen, wenn z.B. viele Leute den Namen noch benutzen, obwohl er nicht mehr ausgeschildert ist.
Beides wird auf der Standard-Karte leider nicht gerendert, aber die Suchfunktion findet auch diese Namen.
