The "house style" for Toys“R”Us in text is Toys“R”Us.

Anyway, my point was that a prescriptive house style (or rather, an official dictionary of station names) is more or less the only way to argue that the official names use en-dash, because we can't trust that whoever made signs did anything other than follow their own preference.

Taginfo is a tool for data inspection and it shows you what you ask for https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Croton%E2%80%93Harmon#values

It could plausibly be extended to show "extended results", perhaps just a second list called "similar results"

What I wonder is whether Amtrak has a style guide that uses en-dashes or whether they are just accidents of the sign production where someone used it out of preference. Some of the documents at https://www.amtrak.com/about-amtrak/reports-documents.html use hyphens (produced with InDesign, so not a production limitation).

Please be careful when remote mapping. osm.org/way/706159218 is really a public high school (https://www.lc-ps.org/schools/hs/pankow-center/) where a church held services (the church has since moved the services do a different location(https://kensingtonchurch.org/campus/clinton-township/)).

(my goal is to encourage you to examine your approach and come to your own conclusion about whether it should be adjusted, I'm not terribly worried about this specific instance, as I'm remote mapping it too...)

I'm in the process of updating the data, so the way will probably be a school if you look at it, you added it as landuse=religious in this changeset.

I filed a bug in the Name Suggestion Index to track the problem: https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/issues/3385

Sorry, *not* how the system is meant to be used.

Do the editors not have direct access to messages sent to them?

That is now how the message system is meant to be used.

Take care when there are features near the roads. Here the point is part of the boundary rather than the highway, so there is no connectivity:

osm.org/node/6817206048

I saw other service roads in the area with the similar problem. I didn't check if they were Amazon Logistics or not, but it seems a fair chance.

I realize this is ancient history here, but the proper fix wasn't to flip the roles of the inner members, it was to restore the mistakenly deleted outer way.

(or alternatively, finish deleting the admin boundary)

I've restored it.

My eventual conclusion when I was improving the shoreline was that counties don't really have any administrative authority on the water. A sheriff has some jurisdiction, but those areas overlap with adjacent counties and so on.

No real compelling reason, I just wanted to add the info for both and that seemed roughly how the schools were organized, with the building being the middle school and the elementary classes being held in it.

I adjusted the border to Holmes Elementary to not overlap the yards, as it seems to me that the practical bounds of the school is more useful for most users of OpenStreetMap.

If you want to change it back, that's fine, I just figured I'd explain my reasoning.

Brandify has already changed it back, but some older stores are still branded as "Walmart" instead of as Supercenters. The web link provides a hint, calling it the Merced Store.

That website is for a different facility. The hospital is small, apparently it handles complicated cases:

https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHCQ/LCP/CalHealthFind/Pages/SearchResult.aspx?k=WEST%20COVINA%20MEDICAL%20CENTER&loc=

The way is repaired in osm.org/changeset/69175196

Please split addresses that can obviously be split into fields instead of moving them into addr:full.

Thanks,

It looks like the way here inadvertently got smashed by pressing "o".

Hi-

In the US, there are many regions that were imported, census designated places, that are not actually administrative boundaries, they are just artifacts of the census.

Changing these to boundary=administrative is a mistake. There's mumbling about deleting them but not much action.

Also, looking at Mount Vernon, something seems to have gone with the outer ways.

It isn't super likely that a US boundary would be strictly defined by a road.

Does Santa Cruz County maintain a dataset showing the county boundary out in the Bay?

Also, it's better to maintain as much object history as possible when doing such edits, such as reusing any existing county relation.

It's not absolutely critical of course, but it helps make sense of tags like "old_attribution" if you don't have to go history spelunking to look at the older data.

Looks like there's lots of small buildings here, garages and sheds, that could use a better tag than building=residential.

If you don't know it already, the the "Copy tags from previous selection" action added by the utils2plugin is a big help. shift+r adds the tags of... the previous selection.

There's a small bug where it is a step behind or something, but it still makes it easy to duplicate the tagging of an existing object over to some other object.
