why is the same poi entered multiple times? see osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

Hi, US road classification in OSM does not go strictly by what road network it is in, like county or state highway. See osm.wiki/United_States_roads_tagging

err, do you mean osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Ddisc_golf_course ?

I think this is incorrect. ISSS is an office inside the Humphrey, so it should be a node within the building outline

Welcome to OSM and thanks for making some edits! I'm commenting because some of the edits in this changeset seem to make the data worse not better. In particular, you deleted some buildings and replaced them with ones that are not traced as precisely and are not tagged correctly. In addition, you have added a highway=pedestrian way for a sidewalk, which is different from the usual tag to use, highway=footway. Let me know if you have questions or need help fixing these things.

thanks :)

Hi, I just noticed this changeset added piste:type=nordic to every NODE on all of these ways, which seems incorrect.

thanks for replying and giving OSM a go! remember that OSM data needs to be publicly verifiable--if these addresses are not used publicly, they're not verifiable (and probably wouldn't be of much use to people anyway). if the platforms have different addresses, then the address should be on each platform itself (ie osm.org/way/126228993), not on the station node. transit tagging is not the easiest, but if you have an interest, I think the consensus these days is found at osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Public_Transport (actually, looking at that, I wonder if the station nodes should be turned into ways covering the whole area?) cheers!

some questions: 1) what is the source for the addresses you added for these platforms? even station data from Metro Transit doesn't have an address. 2) you repurposed the general Snelling Ave station node into something just for the EB platform, which is different from all other MT LRT stations--is there a reason for this? thanks

Hi, just an FYI, if you're testing for an import, you'll want to check out osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines If not, for future I'd recommend camel-casing attributes (such as city name and street names), and making sure street names are unabbreviated. Either way, thanks for adding to the map!

This is advertising through vandalism. I am deleting the tags you added to this way.

hi, just wanted to let you know that the best tag for fitness centers is leisure=fitness_centre (see osm.wiki/Gym_/_Fitness_centre)

Noticed that you are tagging some areas around farmhouses with landuse=grass. this seems incorrect on two counts: 1) farmhouses should be included in landuse=farmyard osm.wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dfarmyard, and 2) landuse=grass is for public space, not private osm.wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dgrass. Maybe you want to use surface=grass or landcover=grass for these private grassy areas instead?

it appears many of these buildings are duplicates of your previous changeset--it'd be great if you could take a look and correct (for ex, on S 5th btw Bridge and Ferry)

wow, are you planning to do all of these? :)

Cool idea to put in construction dates for these buildings. I'd suggest spelling out Hennepin County in the source:building, though

Hi, this edit seems more like advertising than entering actual verifiable data: 1) it doesn't include OSM tags for what "Web Design in Minneapolis" supposedly is (office? shop?), 2) this node is in what looks like an apartment building, 3) a similar node with same phone # was entered recently in this changeset osm.org/changeset/35981007, which also seems to be in a residential building, 4) the overly long description (and "keywords" in the other changeset) are not standard OSM practice. I suggest you see osm.wiki/Good_practice for some tips on this, and make some modifications to your nodes.

I changed the tag on this to amenity=dojo based on the name, but later realized this might not be accurate. if it is indeed a multi-sport sports centre (osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dsports_centre) then please change it back!

I did not, but that would be a better plan. Thanks for the reminder!
