Hello and welcome to mapping in openstreetmap. Thank you for your contributions to the map. Your edits are excellent with one exception. You have added names to some objects that appear to be descriptions, e.g. Greenbrier Park Tennis Court. As a community standard, we do not add names to objects unless there is a specific name for the object that can be seen on the ground. So if there is a name plaque on the courts (or any other such object), we will name it. Otherwise, its location within the park should suffice.

Thanks again for mapping and feel free to ask any questions.

Can you please give a more descriptive changeset description? A short sentence like: "Adding details to golf course" would be very helpful.

Thank you for editing the map! Can you please use more informative changeset comments? It makes it easier to understand what kind of mapping you're doing. A single sentence like, "Adding details to golf course" would suffice!

Hi, This is looking really good for your first edits in OSM, thank you for participating!

If you have any questions about mapping, feel free to message me directly in OSM or you can join the Slack community for OSM at https://slack.openstreetmap.us/

One quick recommendation: you used the default Bing imagery, which is a great, but you may have better luck with the Mapbox Satellite imagery which, for Durham is pretty recent and has the advantage of being taken when the leaves were off. To switch imagery, click on the layers button on the far right.

Nice, thanks for the link

Wow, that was fast!

Thanks for editing the map!

Clap clap!

Good job on your first edit!

Love these edits. Was running using 1 month old maps and was going to correct Cedar Ridge Trail, but didn't need to! Thanks

I'm removing this node that appears as "WE HAVE A WINDOW" There is no military area and this does not appear to represent a real object.

No, it's not being discussed anywhere. I think that someone had a pretty good set of bus stops before the recent changes, so we need to remove ones that are no longer served (which are listed on the GoDurham page: https://godurhamtransit.org/service-changes ) and add some new ones, which I don't think are listed anywhere.

There is a slack discussion group for triangle mapping issues here: https://osmus.slack.com/archives/CDW5X3RRD

Now we just need to update bus stops ...

Nice catch. I was trying to edit some sidewalks that I had recently edited and wasn't careful and didn't realize someone else had added a bunch of sidewalk=no tags (to motorways go figure).

Did you revert all the changes? I just tried to revert the changeset and couldn't as there were many conflicts.

I just wanted to say thanks for all your edits in Durham Co.

I don't remember! I think it may have been a preset in the editor, so I used it. I'll change it.

Thanks for adding to the map! One standard that is used in mapping roads is that we like them to connect to other roads incase we want to use them for drawing routes. Here, I would recommend adding connections between the driveways you've drawn and the two residential roads nearby.

Repeatedly adding fictitious names to the map is vandalism. Please stop doing this.

Great, thanks for the response and great mapping!

Hi and thanks for your additions to the map. I noticed that you mentioned that you are using the Duke Gardens Map. It's great that you noted that. One thing to be careful about using printed maps is that they are under copyright and you should double check that it is legal to add that information to the OSM database. Maps are under copyright unless otherwise noted. Some maps may have copyable data e.g. public domain, or a Creative Commons license. Alternatively, you could contact Duke Gardens and ask them if you could use their map data for OSM.
