Hi Brianna, welcome to OpenStreetMap. It's unfortunate that you've spent the time adding cycleway names to individual ways duplicating what OpenStreetMap already has maintained via a relation (a collection of ways).

For example: Bulimba Creek Bikeway with 57 sections (osm.org/relation/1675755) and the massive Moreton Bay Cycleway with 508 sections (osm.org/relation/319768).

You can read more about cycle routes on the OpenStreetMap wiki: osm.wiki/Tag:route%3Dbicycle

I recommend checking out the wiki for more information on editing OpenStreetMap: osm.wiki/Get_help

You've incorrectly removed the landuse and residential tags from this area, which should remain. The line now does nothing in the mapping and no longer renders.

Your changeset comment is also just a question mark, please put a couple of seconds of thought into leaving useful changeset comments so that others can understand what you are doing.

The "building" tag is used for the building outline only, it cannot include the whole piece of land.

You can read more about how to tag buildings on the wiki:
osm.wiki/Key:building

Often in housing estates we just map the land with a single area for all neighbouring houses excluding roads, parks, shops, etc. Then map the houses, driveways, pools, etc as individual features. This way it creates a lot less work rather than mapping individual housing lots which don't really achieve anything.

Just a heads up, you usually don't need to fill out suburb, postcode, state and country for every map feature. OpenStreetMap tools will derive these from suburb, state and country boundaries.

If you want to check how address resolution looks based on the entered data Nominatim can do this. For example, I've linked to the node for a house on Rocky Passage Road that only has a housenumber and street tag, but resolve the full address:

You've incorrectly added a house number tag to Pitt Street, i.e. the whole street.

You've incorrectly retagged a Redland Bay residential area as a single building, and moved a footpath on Mary St in the Brisbane CBD.

You'll also want to tag the pool as a swimming pool with using the iD preset or:

leisure=swimming_pool
access=private
location=outdoor

Hi, Electro97, welcome to OSM.

The name=* tag should not be used for descriptions. name=Shed on a building=shed doesn't achieve anything. Unless your house has a name with a sign on the front like some old Queenslanders, don't put a description of how you use it (e.g. "Main House") in the name field, the same applies with the 4 buildings in this change.

For more information on how you should use the name field check out the OSM Wiki:

Hi, you're mapped a horse track with highway=unclassified. The iD editor has a preset and it's documented on the wiki. You should instead use the following:

leisure=track
sport=horse_racing

Hi, I'm curious why you are mapping complete residential lots with leisure=garden?

The tag is meant for "a distinguishable planned space". Most of Sheldon is just unmaintained and unplanned bushland with a few small gardens on some lots.

The OSM Wiki also states that "Areas should not include features (for example residential houses) which are not part of the garden itself."

Personally I wouldn't tag this one as Panorama Drive even though there is a council street sign for the 2 houses. I'd tag it as a driveway rather than highway=residential and without a name.

Legally it's actually an unbuilt road reserve that goes all the way to Kinross Road, mostly named Whitby Place with another name on the western part.

Centrelink (Services Australia) is out on Redland Bay Road south west of the library, that one is a council customer service centre.

I wouldn't tag the building with the library as a library as it's just one small part of the building. I think the building is called "Capalaba Place", it's got the library, art gallery and customer service centre on the northern side, and the hall around the southern side.

Nice work! Fixing the map by changing the real world.

Those residential streets of Capalaba don't have a 33kV transmission line. You can see the top conductors that terminate at pole and pad mounted transformers are joined underground to the power pole outside Multihire (middle conductors).

The top conductors on that pole (outside Multihire) is one of the 33kV transmission lines from the Cleveland bulk station to the 2 Capalaba substations.

Distribution lines should be power=minor_line. power=line is for bulk transmission lines, usually 45+ kV.

Open Infrastructure Map is a great tool to visualise power lines, substations and generators.

Hi Rob, could you review your changes, the surface=metal tag doesn't seem right. Thanks, Jono

You might like to revisit the address of Red Rooster, unless it really is on a bun :)

Hi Michael. Just letting you know I've just removed the parking area you added 2 months ago out the back of Sirromet. That clearing was used for the Love and Monsters movie in 2019 and has since grown back with nothing left visible. Jono

No worries. I'm not involved with Scouts Qld so am no authority, however from my limited involvement at the Mt Cotton facility I hadn't heard of/seen the registered entity name before, which appears to be "The Scout Association of Australia, Queensland Branch Inc" (slightly different to your comment).

I'd have thought your organisation's registered business name which is all over the web site and Facebook would be the best name. In the same way we map "Bunnings" rather than "Bunnings Group Limited".
