Hi there! Welcome to OSM and thanks for adding to the map.

When you add an address, make sure the street name in the address field matches the street name on the nearby road.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello!

Please be careful when you're making a change to a lot of objects. In this case, you added the address to the nodes that make up the ways instead of just the ways.

Also, street names should have the unabbreviated name of the street. 28th Avenue North is the correct name of the street, not 28th Ave N.

Thanks for pointing that out, Will. I was riding in an Uber and mapping stuff as we drove past, so it could very well be that EveryDoor hadn't finished loading new data. I deleted the two dupes you pointed out.

Nice catch. Thanks for looking into it.

It looks like you missed a couple flyover/bridges on this change

What you're describing is known as "Tagging for the Renderer" (see osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer).

OpenStreetMap would rather have correct data in its database than a single correct rendering of the map data. In this specific case, this object is a sports pitch for American football. It is not a water reservoir. Yes, the default map style on osm.org renders pitches with a green color, but if color is important to you, then the correct thing to do is to set up your own rendering pipeline and render the field using the desired color.

Hi! Please be aware that OSM mappers are not allowed to use Google Street View images while mapping.

Oh yep, I forgot to mention that I had resolved the issue. Thanks for checking!

Keep up the great work, thank you for making changes to the map.

Hi there! Thanks for improving the map.

Please note that when we trace buildings we want to trace the *base* of the building, not the roof line. Some of the adjustments you made to these building outlines moved the building away from the base to the roofline. When imagery is taken off-center and projected onto the flat map, the building will appear to "lean". More information about this effect can be seen here: osm.wiki/Roof_modelling#Typical_errors_in_the_interpretation_of_roof_geometry_from_aerial_images

Also, it's very useful to add entrance information, but there are specific tags for that and the information shouldn't be left in the "name" field. Please look for the "Entrance" preset in the map editor and put the address information in there instead.

Hello! Thanks for coming through Minnesota and making these changes. A couple comments, though:

1. The text you added as "name" tags should probably have gone in the "official_name". The roads aren't primarily signed using these names and aren't used in everyday conversation about these highways.
2. There were a couple emergency turnarounds that you deleted that still seem to exist. Please be careful when removing these.

A tailor does more work than just alterations, but from the perspective of using existing OSM tagging it probably makes sense to use craft=tailor.

Ok done! Let me know if you run into any issues.

Typically we improve the existing data rather than deleting everything and remapping. You're likely encountering the rate limiting because of deleting so many elements as a new user. If I revert all your deletions, you could improve the existing data and encounter less rate limiting. Let me know if that's of interest to you.

Err, *British and American :-)

In the context of a shop, "alterations" is a common English (both British and English) word meaning to alter clothing for a better fit.

There was just a duplicate building. No worries!

Hi! I'm also mapping this town, so please make sure to grab the latest data before continuing to map so that we don't create duplicates.
