Nice work! Welcome to OSM

Nice work, welcome to OSM.

Are these real roads? Some of them appear to show up on aerial images, but others do not. If they are paths or trails, please correctly tag them as highway:footpath or some other appropriate tag

Did you mean to add this? If not please delete it. If you want to play around with mapping there is http://opengeofiction.net/#map=5/51.500/-0.100

It looks like the location has moved a lot, you're probably better off just creating a new node at the new location.

Thanks for your help in fixing Tiger import. However, please be careful in changing highway classification. Orange Grove Road here is probably better classified as a tertiary highway. It is a state maintained road that is used for commuting to and from Hillsborough and smaller outlying communities.

These classification decisions are definitely hard here, but I would say if there is a tiger_name_base with State Road XXX and the road is paved and runs continuously for several miles, it probably is best as tertiary.

You may also consider adding SR XXX for unsigned_ref

Yes that is annoying, there are also a lot of names that are descriptions in the RST area.

Thanks for helping with the map!

No problem, and thanks for responding. I normally would have waited for a response, before reverted changes but there have been a lot of people who never respond to comments. If you have any questions about mapping, please feel free to ask!

First, thanks for helping with the map. I'm curious why you changed all the tracks in Duke Forest into paths? Many of them fit the description of tracks perfectly: osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack i.e. they are two track roads for forestry.

Welcome to OSM! If you have any questions how to map, please ask.

This is some really good mapping. A few quick suggestions.

1. It is important to connect sidewalks to streets so that routing can be certain to know that there is a physical connection between streets and sidewalks.

2. Putting the description of an object as the name is frowned upon. If you want to note that a footway is a sidewalk, you can add a tag footway=sidewalk. Names should be reserved for formal names.

Is this a park, or is it a residential area. If the latter, it would be better tagged as landuse=residential, rather than leisure=park

Thanks for a great first edit and welcome to openstreetmap!

Thank you for updating the map. I did a little bit of correcting of your tagging here. This is not a park, but rather a basketball court.

Is this a park or a residential area?

Why did you delete the preexisting building? It had valuable tags that you did not preserve. Please be more careful when editting.

There was a better footprint of this building already existing, so I deleted yours.

It seems as though you deleted a building and then added a part of it back. Is this what you intended to do?
