Since it's been a few years since you added it to the name, wanted to check if County Road 13 is still a US 14 detour?

Hi, I am another OSM editor in the area and just wanted to point out a couple things you might keep in mind going forward: 1) If an area (like the farmland southeast of Cty Rd 50 and Halsey Ave) has an "island" in it of a different type of area (like the forested area), you should create a multipolygon relation and tag the "outer" and "inner" areas separately as described here: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/22542/how-do-i-map-an-island-in-a-lake-using-id-editor-and-the-multipolygon-tag 2) it's not a hard rule, but generally recommended that landuse-type areas not attach to roads, and instead stop where they actually stop (usually next to a road--see osm.wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions#Areas_and_Ways_Sharing_Nodes). Aside from being more accurate, it often makes future editing easier. Thanks again for all your editing and happy future mapping!

No, it didn't overwrite it, it wrote it to the database again. Since the features are exact duplicates, they are hard to see unless you move one feature and uncover the copy beneath. For example, see the parking lot and houses to the east of St. Michael Elementary School. I think a revert would be good.

Hi, thanks for adding detail to OSM in this area. One request: could you please turn the "caps lock" off? Names of parks and other features should be capitalized normally. Thanks again and happy mapping!

Hi it looks like this changeset has duplicated most of changeset 55533231? (see https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=55533231 and https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=55533258)

Hi, thanks for adding detail to the area! I notice you've added some driveways for some houses, but not all of them actually connect to the street--for example along 147th Terrace. While they should connect to the sidewalk, they should then continue to the street. Happy mapping!

Hi, thanks for adding so much detail to this area recently! I noticed that some of your edits are creating geometry errors, though. (you can see them here: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?lon=-94.01&lat=45.64&zoom=7) For example, the residential landuse area around the Karsten Ave Lake should use a multipolygon relation instead of a narrow line going to the "island". See this forum for some tips on creating relations in iD: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/58270/how-i-can-create-relation-in-id-editor Or feel free to message me if you have questions. Happy mapping!

Hi, I have a couple concerns about your edits in this changeset. First you have created a number of residential landuse areas which cover significant parts of lakes--it would be better to limit this kind of way to areas where people actually live. Maybe you are planning to go back later and clean this up? Also, to the east of Eagle Lake you created another lake with an island that does not use the multipolygon relation as it should. I have commented already on some of your past changesets about this issue. You have done over 2000 changesets, it is something very useful you should learn.

Hi, this is clearly vandalism, so I have removed these water features in changeset 55968147. If you are making edits like this for purposes of Pokemon Go, see https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2016/12/30/tips-pokemon-go/

Hi, this looks like some sort of industrial or commercial area, not a park. Do you have an explanation or source you got the information from?

Welcome to OSM and thanks for adding so many features to Central Park! One question, did you mean to remove the name from the Central Park relation, and add leisure_2=playground? These changes both seem like they might be mistakes. Thanks

Welcome to OSM and thanks for adding to the map! Just wanted to let you know that a couple of those tags aren't quite right. Instead of leisure=park, it'd be better to use leisure=dog_park (osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Ddog_park). And instead of using amenity=library for a Little Free Library, use amenity=public_bookcase (osm.wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpublic_bookcase) Hope this helps, happy mapping!

I get what you're saying, but then the overall campus shouldn't be called Edgewood College and tagged as a college. What about modifying the way covering the whole area to be tagged amenity=school and name=Edgewood Campus? As you can see from the pdf I linked to, the college itself only regards its campus as a portion of this area.

good point, I'd missed that

Fair enough, I monitor this area and I've certainly seen plenty of obvious SEO spam! However, if a business owner wants to get their business name in OSM, I hope it won't get flagged for removal just because they used their business name for their account and only did one badly tagged node. Note, I don't know if that is the case with this particular node, but it seems like a slippery slope.

Hi, I am an area mapper, wondering why this POI got flagged for removal of data for advertising? Aside from not having the leisure=tanning_salon tag, it seems like legitimate data, and doesn't have a lot of the "description" garbage like a lot of SEO spam does.

Hi, I noticed you added a cycleway=track tag to SE Oak St. Since this cycle track is separated from the rest of the road, it was already mapped as a separate way. Although both methods are described on osm.wiki/Key:cycleway#Cycle_tracks, only one should be used for a given way.

Great! I find it very rewarding to use the data I entered :) Happy mapping!

OK, I didn't realize you are using the source tag for another purpose. Some new users see that tag on other existing features and then think it's required. When you say "app that is sourcing this for me" does that mean you are getting data from that app, or is the OSM data feeding into that app? I ask because if you're getting data from another source, you need to make sure the license is compatible with OSM. See osm.wiki/Legal_FAQ#2._Contributing

Hi, and thanks for adding so much detail to Owatonna! A couple tips based on viewing some of your edits: 1) unless a feature truly goes to the middle of a road, it's best practice to not attach the nodes of landuse ways (ie parks, religious areas) to roads (long story short, it's inaccurate and makes future editing more difficult), 2) in most cases it's no longer necessary to add imagery source to features as this is now included in the changeset tags, 3) it IS good to add the source of your knowledge to the changeset comments--if you live in an area, you might say "survey", "personal knowledge" or something like that.
