Hi Visit MS Gulf Coast,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. As user_5359 specified in the above comment, waterbody in the sea with a sound tag does not seem plausible. I have deleted this feature object. osm.wiki/Map_Features this woud be good reading to understand the kind of features that could be mapped. It is always a safe bet to read the wiki for the tag you wish to use for acceptable key values as well. Happy mapping.

@SomeoneElse from Satellite imagery, this seems like a residential area. Seems betting and bookmaking is a legal, regulated business in Sri Lanka. There is no way to verify this mapped object by the user. From the given name tag, this could also be a personal bookmark.

@SomeoneElse Thanks for cleaning this up

Hi SuffolkNY,

You seemed to have added 17000 orphaned nodes here. May I know how this happened.

Hi Cynthi Cepada,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your mapping contributions are greatly appreciated. The footway you added was crossing the service road here. I have fixed this. Please make sure that the highways you add do not cross with the existing map data.

Hi GoogleMapMaker,

Refer wiki for bus stop names osm.wiki/Buses. Are these the actual names of the bus stops?

Hi Jacob T,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your mapping contributions are greatly appreciated. I have observed that you have been mapping addresses of buildings. This is great. But you don't have to give the address again in the name tag. Name tag is for names of businesses, houses etc. Refer osm.wiki/Key:name

Hi Kevin Boggs,

First, welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your interest in mapping is appreciated. OSM is an open public collaborative aiming at making the most up to date and detailed map.

I have read the discussion in your other changeset. Thanks for mapping and further thanks for correcting your edits. But I have found the newer footway you have added to be unconnected to any nearby roads. I suggest you connect the way to the other highways and also add `access=permissive` as you do not want absolute strangers to pass through.

Please feel free to reply and I encourage to continue mapping.

@SomeoneElse No update from SL community :( this was the last update https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/241#issuecomment-263036509

Hi Dillon Schneider,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your interest in mapping is greatly appreciated. But I have found that this footway you added cross intersecting and unconnected. I have undone your change. It would be great if you can map this correctly and also reminder that private ways used inside personal properties are to be tagged with `access=private` to avoid strangers wandering into your private property using OSM. Read osm.wiki/Map_Features and osm.wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions.

Hi jrayt,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your interest in mapping your is appreciated. I have found your edits overlapping, adding non existing footways. I have undone your changes. I would like to request to keep the mapping realistic and map only what exists on the ground. Please take a look at osm.wiki/Map_Features and osm.wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions

Hi Alexander Court,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your contributions are appreciated. But I have undone your changeset because you have changed road classification of paths to footways. Ex osm.org/way/51220096 this way is a well mapped way with highway=path tag. For a trail path is correct. May I know why you changed all these ways to footway?

This is my revert changeset osm.org/changeset/44612804

Hi Luciola,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your edits to the map are greatly appreciated. But you have left some of the footways here unconnected and there definitely seems to be a road connecting these footways to the nearby residential road. It would be great if you can connect these footways.

Happy mapping!

Hi minar,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your contributions to the map are greatly appreciated. I observed some duplicate nodes, overlapping footways in your edits. It would be great if you can fix these.

But first welcome to OpenStreetMap. It would be great if a local mapper can update the polygon here.

Hi Lightning,

Observed that you originally created this amenity=university circular polygon here osm.org/way/256490835/history. May I know why this was mapped circular. There was an edit to the amenity recently in this changeset from a new user osm.org/changeset/44611970. This shape of the polygon seems unrealistic from satellite imagery. Can you update the geometry?

@SomeoneElse left a personal message to the mapper to encourage participation in this changeset discussion(https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/251#issuecomment-268164570). Have not received a reply yet. What do you suggest on next actions?

Hi tlt83,

Welcome to Openstreetmap. Your mapping contributions are greatly appreciated. I have observed that you have deleted this track that clearly seemed to exist in the imagery. But the track seems to exist in bing, mapbox satellite and USGS imagery. It would be great if you can trace back the track into the map.

Hi ajnunley,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your mapping contributions are greatly appreciated. But I have observed that this trail you tried to map here does not have any feature tags and there are other unconnected nodes here as well. Would be great if you can fix it and trace the trail again.

Hi Ryan Holliday,

Should this wikidata tag be added to this way instead then osm.org/way/2762458?
