I got your message, since you said this was an accidental change I went ahead and put the node back.

Another thing is for houses they should be tagged as building=house if possible.

59948548 about 7 years ago

The houses added are very close to being square, but the corners are slightly off. When mapping buildings it's best to square them. This can be done by selecting the outline, right-clicking, and selecting the square icon.

You moved this node way out of the way from where it should be. I'm going to guess that you acidentally moved it, but it is the only change in this changeset, so it seems it must have been intentional. What were you trying to do here?

You have used the name tag on this node to describe the feature. The name tag should only be used for an actual name, which I'd guess this feature doesn't have. Some tags that might be better to use would be:
amenity=bicycle_repair_station,
service:bicycle:pump,
and maybe a few more.

More info on tagging this can be found at osm.wiki/Tag:amenity=bicycle_repair_station

The water fountain should be tagged as a separate node using, amenity=drinking_water with details at osm.wiki/Tag:amenity=drinking_water

I noticed the areas on these tannis courts are not mapped square. You can do this by rightclicking on the outline after you have it traces, and the cooseing the square option.

Most of these buildings are clearly houses, so they would be tagged better with building=house, than just the generic building=yes.

Jaku103, no need to revert anything, there is nothing wrong with how you mapped things, (at least that I saw). I was just pointing out how you could maybe make your work a little better for not much more work.

I hope I didn't come across as too forceful, I don't want to run you off, because if you look at the project we could use some help.

58905251 about 7 years ago

Oh, and additionally there are address nodes everywhere, if you could copy those into the building outlines that they belong to that would be really helpful as well.

58905251 about 7 years ago

A couple of notes about your edit. The houses you added are tagged as building=yes, but they could be better described by using building=house. similarly, with the garages behind them, they can be tagged as building=garage. And the gas station roof could be tagged as building=roof.

Also, could you Include a description of what you did in the comment, in addition to the hashtag. It really helps other mappers when they come across your edits in the future.

Mateusz, I agree that the addresses being mapped on the buildinging is better. but that does not mean it is the only way they can be mapped. To quote the wiki: osm.wiki/Addresses

Addresses can be tagged with addr:housenumber=* and the other addr:* keys. Tags can be added to :

* isolated nodes
* nodes that are parts of building polygons ( = entrance=*s )
* building=* polygons
* on polygons representing the perimeter of the site.

The map in this area has very few building outlines rightnow, it's not like Europe here in the US. While I agree it's a good end goal to have all the buildings mapped with addresses on them that is a long ways off from happening. On top of that, the map has always been working on incrementally improving, it's not like mapping is an all or nothing thing.

at least one of the locations you edited in this edit has a wikipedia=en:arby's tag, since you are going through all these locations could you change that to a brand:wikipedia tag or remove it?

58729218 over 7 years ago

I see you have added lanes in the parking lot as highway=residential. This is the wrong tagging for this, you should be using highway=service, and where appropriate service=parking_aisle. The reason you have probably seen other service roads marked as residential streets is that there was a massive import from the census burue years ago, called TIGER. This import labeled anything it didn't understand as a residential road, and they are still being cleaned up today.

Tex, The wording of the tags shouldn't change the usefulness of the data. It comes down to how it will be used. There are lots of tags that are rather confusing, and it comes down to how they get presented to the end user. for example if you view it on the standard map here the symbol is a pictogram of a boat ramp. here is one by me, osm.org/node/951074983. I think there should be a way of marking a boat ramp that is different from a normal slipway, and I'm actually going to write to the tagging mailing list and see if anyone has any ideas.

58388640 over 7 years ago

Tex, it looks to me like you might be confusing a slipway for a slip. A slip is an area on a dock or pier, whereas a slipway is where you put the boat in the water. As far as I can tell a boat ramp is just another name for a slipway, that is generally used to describe a simple slip that is nothing more than a ramp. The difference in terms might also be one of those American vs British English things.

If you look at the bottom of the wiki page for leisure=slipway it shows examples just like the image you show.

This edit looks good. The only thing I see that you could add would be if you know more about the clinic you added. A name would be really nice, but if you have any of the other information that ID asks for that would be helpful. Although if you don't know this or can't get this information don't worry about it too much.

Inktindy, I see you have made a few changesets here with the same comment. Would you be able to in the future use the comments to describe what you have changed? It really helps other mappers like myself know what you are doing when we map in the same areas later. For instance this changeset you moved a single node, but I can't tell why.

58458155 over 7 years ago

At the intersection of 11th Ave, and 15th St S it looks like you attached a footpath to the boundary of the campus. This added a node to the border, which counts as changing it. In the parking lot, I see you added a small section of sidewalk disconnected from anything else, here it is usually better to connect that across the parking lot as that is where you would cross, even if it's not marked as such. As for not seeing the changes yet they are in there right away, but it can take a bit of time sometimes to get them rendered. It depends on how busy the server is at the time. In addition to that your browser chaches the tiles, so you might just need to refresh them, sometimes you need to do <shift>-F5 in order to flush the cach as well.

This changesset has a few things that look off to me.
The land around the church on the left is tagged as a meadow. If you are going to tag the area like that you should use landuse=religious. The same for the one on the right. Also the tag building=yes doesn't mean there is a building in this area it means this area is the outline of a building.

A few things on this changeset,

Around the school, you tagged all the sidewalks as footway=sidewalk. I know it's a bit counter-intuitive but footway=sidewalk should only be used when the footpath follows a road.

In the park you tagged a playground as leasure=park, but it's not really a park in a park is it? It looks like it should be tagged with leasiure=playground.
