Hi, Thanks for working on the map! We appreciate everyone's work. One small note on this changeset-- You classified this road as "unclassified". In OSM speak, unclassified roads usually are open to the public and well maintained (frequently with a name: full wiki explanation here: osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dunclassified). This looks more like a "track" which is a low maintenance road mostly used for agriculture/forestry. Thanks again for working on the map!

Thank you for all your edits to Hillandale Golf Course. It has added some nice detail to the area.

In this particular changest, I think you mistagged a bunch of water hazards as water. Based on the wiki: osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgolf_course these areas that are considered water hazards, but are not actually water, should be tagged as golf=water_hazard not as natural=water.
Thanks!

If they are truly private, i.e. non-residents cannot use them if not given permission, they should be marked as such. Other access tags that may be useful in this case are "permissive" or "destination" for permission not explicitly given or withheld and no through traffic respectively.

Information as to who maintains them would be put in the operator tag, but I don't know of any map that currently uses that tag for anything.

Thanks for your help in conflict resolution and mapping!

Thanks for mapping and your help in conflict resolution!

While I appreciate you wanting to have a map that looks good for your purpose, OSM is a community of volunteer mappers that accumulates data which will always be incomplete. In general, it is not considered constructive to delete the work of other contributors unless that work is incorrect.

Hi, welcome to Openstreetmap and thank you for editing the map. I noticed that you deleted a parking lot here (and you noted that in the changset, which is great). Based on your changeset, I believe that you thought that because the parking lot was private, it should not be on the map. However, in OSM anything that is visible can be mapped as long as it is accurately tagged. I looked at the parking lot that you removed and it was marked as being private.

Also, you removed two sidewalks, which appear to actually be there.

Thanks again for making the map better!

Which map are you using as your source?

Thanks for your I've gone and read the wiki about the differences and I have to say it is difficult to parse which is better. I personally think that "private" would be more accurate: you do allow your own vehicles on the road and it would indicate to other users that they may see vehicles on the road. However, functionally, as you say, things probably don't matter. I just wouldn't worry about it.

Hi, I appreciate your changes to the map, especially adding the correct names and access. In this changeset, I noticed that you changed the access for motor vehicles from private to no. I have seen vehicles on this road and been in a vehicle that was authorized to be on this road (many years ago). Has access to all motor vehicles been removed?

Hello, thanks for adding all the SR numbers to roads. There has been a long discussion in the OSM community about the appropriate tags for these numbers. The consensus is to use "unsigned_ref" instead of "ref" for these numbers to indicate that the numbers are not readily visible to road users (in my experience they are printed in small font on some road signs).

Thanks for mapping! I think some of the roads here have been tagged incorrectly as motorways.

Thanks for noticing. The city says that it is permanently closed. Maybe they haven't put up permanent barriers, yet. If you want to reconnect it, feel free. https://www.ncdot.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/2020/2020-08-12-herbert-st-permanent-closure.aspx

Thumbs up, you used the census data!

both what? I asked about 4 different areas. Are there signs that indicate that they are in Northbrook?

This is what I see on Tigerweb and none of those are in Northbrook on it: https://imgur.com/a/itPBSlc

The boundary multipolygon is broken again.
What source are you using to map the boundary?

Is Somme Prairie Nature preserve in or out of Northbrook?

Is Somme Prairie Grove in or out of Northbrook?
Is the triangle above Somme Prairie NP and Grove, but below Edens Spur in or out of Northbrook?
Is Glenbrook Countryside in or out of Northbrook?

Yes, we're moving on to trying to figure out where the boundaries are. There were a bunch of ways in this relation that I did not delete, but just removed from the relation. If those are correct, we just need to figure out how to piece the relation together to match the actual boundary.

Thanks for the note. I have now updated the boundary to match the most recent Tiger data, which I don't know if it is correct or not either, but it is authoritative. Many of the boundary members have a source tag of local, but I don't know what that means.

Could you please be a bit more specific with your changeset comment? It helps to understand what changes were made when examining the history of objects.

No need to apologize! There are lots of "rules" (which are really bendable community standards), but the most important thing is try your best to map what is there, which you're doing.
