Hi, I notice you added a leisure=gym tag. FYI, this should probably be tagged leisure=fitness_centre. See osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dfitness_centre

FYI, self-intersections reported in OSM Inspector: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=areas&lon=-93.12650&lat=44.66436&zoom=16&opacity=0.94

Just an FYI that two buildings in this changeset are flagged for self-intersection errors in OSM Inspector: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=areas&lon=-93.16259&lat=44.70607&zoom=16&opacity=0.94

Not sure what to do about it now, but if you added name:eo to the Mississippi River relation, why would you also add it to each segment???

I know this is an older edit, but I noticed that the opening_hours for Mackenthun's isn't the right format. A tutorial is here for future reference (or if you want to fix this): osm.wiki/Key:opening_hours/Tutorial

Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap! Just wanted to point out that the footpath east of the parking lot here is incorrectly mapped: a way should not double back over itself. I would probably just make each of these little loops separate ways. In case you're interested, I found this using one of the OSM QA tools, OSM Inspector: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=geometry&lon=-92.65319&lat=45.41793&zoom=18&opacity=0.93

@userJeff, OpenStreetMap is at core a project to create data which can be used to make maps, do routing, etc. Over years, guidelines have formed about the best way to do that, such as "map what's on the ground". You are mostly talking about the rendering of how the data looks and making assumptions about what *map* users want. However, what is most important to OSM is making the actual data as accurate as we can, so different *data* users can use it to make the maps, routers, or other things that they want. So, does the park actually go into the middle of the road? No, it stops next to the road. Therefore don't attach the park to the road. It may not seem relevant to you now, but there are places where highly detailed mapping is being done, and mapping this way will make it harder for future editors. Thanks

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding detail to the map, especially the Rum River. Wanted to let you know that it's best to use a multipolygon relation for riverbanks. That way, 1) you don't need to create sections of the river, and 2) the islands can be truly on their own (unconnected to the banks) tagged as "inner" parts of the relation, while the banks are tagged as "outer" parts. For example, see this area of the Rum River downstream: osm.org/relation/393154 Eventually the Rum River could all be part of this one relation! Let me know if you have questions. Cheers

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap! Just wanted to let you know I slightly modified this edit so that the school way covered the entire grounds and the one you drew was tagged as a building. See osm.wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dschool for more info. Happy mapping!

Hi, I noticed you adding populations to administrative areas. Aside from the question of whether this is an automated edit, I am wondering what your source for this data is? The population wiki page (osm.wiki/Key:population) recommends adding source:population=* to the object, as well as population:date=* so that users can know the provenance of the population data. Thanks

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! I notice in this changeset and others, you are changing road names to use abbreviations. OSM guidelines specifically say to spell out words when possible, especially for road names. See osm.wiki/Names#Abbreviation_.28don.27t_do_it.29 for further explanation. Thanks and happy mapping!

Hi, it looks like you've uploaded some duplicate data between this changeset and changeset 50620937. Can you take a look please?

Hi, I noticed you tagged this with boundary=administrative which seems incorrect. I think this is only for governmental units, not private organizations--see osm.wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative

Hi, I'm wondering about this change. 1) construction is still ongoing through the fall, right? So the construction tags should remain. 2) the US doesn't have a specific legal designation of "living street", but the definition on wikipedia ("a street designed primarily with the interests of pedestrians and cyclists in mind and as a social space where people can meet and where children may also be able to play legally and safely") doesn't seem to fit the design of Nicollet Mall very well--the road itself is mainly for buses and bikes, not pedestrians.

Hi, can you give more explanation about what these memorials are? I don't see them on any imagery and don't find them mentioned anywhere online. Is there some documentation or explanation that you can point to? OSM best practices include "map what's on the ground" and "verifiability" osm.wiki/Good_practice I made a similar comment on another changeset under username Libby012 but received no reply. Without more information, this starts to look like vandalism. Thanks in advance for your help in clarifying.

Welcome to OSM and thanks for adding detail to the map! A couple tips: 1) in the iD editor, you can right click on a shape to get a context menu. One of these is "square" which is really useful for buildings. 2) you've added some park features where it seems like wood or forest tag would be better. 3) you've added water features in some places that seem odd. Some of the water is swimming pools which also have their own tag, but other things you added seem to be in the middle of driveways, lawns, etc? Let me know if you have questions. Thanks again for contributing!

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! I noticed in this edit you tagged these businesses landuse=retail, but it would be better to tag them building=retail, and also add other tags to describe their business (such as shop=car_parts and amenity=pharmacy). Thanks for adding to the map!

Hi karitotp, this is a case where it might've been nice for you to leave a changeset comment or contact the user who created these features--it is a new user who seems to work in this area, but who maybe could've done a better job tagging etc. Cheers

The bay inside the Grand Marais lighthouse is already tagged as water as part of Lake Superior--is there a reason you added a new water feature there?

I am constantly learning new details too! :) There is an effort to move to a different tagging scheme for transit, so that doesn't make it any easier. The new scheme distinguishes between the bus stop location where one waits (public_transport=platform) and the place where the bus stops on the road network (public_transport=stop_position) which is a bit overkill for my taste but YMMV. Re the TC bus stops, tags with the metcouncil: prefix can probably stay--there is some useful info in there, although it may get stale. I think there was widespread agreement that TIGER import included a lot of extraneous tags that could now be deleted. I don't know if you subscribe to any mailing lists or follow forums or anything, but one great way to keep up with the wider world of OSM stuff is http://weeklyosm.com/
