Minor point for future reference: it's preferred to use things like the "razed" prefix when removing things still in the imagery, so others don't accidentally add it back.

Ah yep, here it is: https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/waterloo-region-record-s-physical-office-in-kitchener-to-close-this-spring/article_537bcfb8-8f42-5e14-b5a4-61826f14fec2.html

Pretty sure The Record is still here, see: https://secure.therecord.com/subscribe/

I strongly suggest reading the links I provided. The OSM website is not intended for users, it's intended for editors. OSM is not a map, it's a database of map data, which different applications can choose to render as they see fit. For example, here is a map that uses German OSM tags when rendering: https://openstreetmap.de/karte/

Again, I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the wiki and understanding why this large, rather old project does things a particular way before deciding you know best.
osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer
osm.wiki/Renderer

Even if you believe European mapping guidelines apply here (they do not), it is never correct to put descriptions as names.

It's fine in this case, but generally speaking: osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_for_the_renderer

I'm getting tired of finding your low-quality edits. Fixing notes doesn't help if you fix them by adding bad data to the map. Either start paying attention, and engaging with concerns, or I'm going to report you to the DWG.

It's a minor issue (I've fixed it), but for future reference: it's best to avoid connecting junctions at the ends of bridges. See osm.wiki/Key:bridge for more info.

Do you have a source for this changeset?

I should mention here too, this is only the edits around Waterloo/Guelph. If you'd like me to revert similar changesets in other areas for you, just let me know.
