Thank you for your contributions to OSM. Please don't use "." as your changeset comment - use something that accurately and human-readably describes what you've edited. You don't need to upload every single edit - you can make 20 edits and then upload them togehter with a comment like "added points of interest in Someplace" or so.

DWG here. Please use "Wattle Glen" as the name tag until photo evidence shows the station signage to be "Wattleglen". (Ticket#2024100810000261)

Hallo SInt E7, die Data Working Group ist auf Deine Edits aufmerksam geworden. Bitte verzichte in Zukunft in Deutschland auf das Umbenennen von Haltestellen, solange Du nicht vor Ort gewesen bist und Dich persönlich davon überzeugt hast, dass der von Dir eingesetzte Name auch vor Ort so verwendet wird. (Ticket#2024100410000222)

Automated edits require prior community discussion (and consensus). Your forum announcement was three days ago. This is not sufficient time for the community to form an opinion. Please give the community at least 14 days, and if any criticism of your plans comes up, even more time might be required until the community agrees on any form of mechanical edit.

Dear Heinz_V, when modifying borders please always provide a source that allows others to verify your change.

Ok. So it is definitely not "disused"; it is at best "abandoned" but that would require that someone who is not a railway buff can see: Oh, apparently there used to be a railway here. The photo on osm.wiki/Tag:railway%3Dabandoned illustrates that quite well. If it is just "space next to the road" that leads someone with "an eye for the railways" to deduct that there must once have been a railway here, don't map it in OpenStreetMap. There is a project called "OpenHistoricalMap" that lets you map these things.

A "disused" railway is one where "the track and infrastructure remain in place". This does not seem to be the case here; it is at best "abandoned". If not visible on the ground any more (and Wikipedia research is required to give you an idea where tracks once have been) then it does NOT belong in OpenStreetMap at all.

You have used "railway=disused" for this, but you have put "abandoned" in the name. The wiki says, for "disused": "A section of railway which is no longer used but where the track and infrastructure remain in place." This is certainly not the case here, is it?

Hello, thank you for your contributions to OSM. You do not have to upload every single building to OSM, you can create a few dozen and then upload them all at once. Please also specify a human-readable changeset comment; almost nobody in OSM understands what #osmus-tasks-653 is supposed to mean.

Hello Badojo, can you explain your source for changing many "level_crossing" to "tram_level_crossing" here?

157279011 10 months ago

Dear user Kenjie Calcita, thank you for your contributions to OSM! You don't need to save each building separately; you can add a few of them and then save together. And then please add a good changeset comment like "added buildings in Jipapad" or so - "." is not a good comment.

Hello CurlingMan13, I have attempted to add the proper access tags to the trails in question, though a survey is probably required to confirm.

157081233 10 months ago

Kannst Du bitte auch die korrekte Quelle angeben, "knowledge" ist für eine Geometrie-Änderung wie osm.org/way/174942653 oder osm.org/way/178035075 ja wohl eher nicht angebracht.

It seems unlikely that you have personally surveyed this border. Please state your source for this modification.

Dear Uditi Bisaria, please refrain from using "Hashtag-only" changeset comments. Hashtags have their own field where they can go in the iD editor; for the changeset comment, please use a human-readable explanation of your edits. (In more recent edits you have put "Congo river floods response" but we're really more interested in an explanation of what you have edited, than in the motivation for editing!)

Dear Karoll Ustate, please do not name buildings, roads or other areas "Manzana, Karoll Ustate". This is not the name of the place and should not be on the map.

157034731 10 months ago

Dear user Isocarras, please do not attach a name of "casa" to buildings you map. The name tag is only there for buildings with a special name like "Word Trade Center" or so.

156818462 10 months ago

Dear Valeri_2408, place=plot is not the correct tag for a building. building=yes is sufficient. Do not use "edificio" as a building name - the name is only there if a building has a special name like "World Trade Center" or something like that.

157019211 10 months ago

Dear Luis Manjarrez, please do not create "city blocks" that have the size of a single building. Please do not call these blocks "Valep", that is not the correct name.

A path in OSM is not first and foremost a "walking path" - it is just a path that exist, and who is allowed to do what on that path is something we have other tags for. Same for private driveways. We have a right to record this information, and interfering with our right is vandalism.

We are very interested in depicting the reality on the ground, and we do not want to mislead people into believing they could walk somewhere where they can't. I know for a fact that AllTrails will respect the access=private in routing, i.e. it won't suggest you walk there; as for their cartographic representation, I don't know how they process access=private but if they really don't do that then it is a mistake on their part! For what it's worth, AllTrails themselves recommend using access=private: https://support.alltrails.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058130612-What-if-a-trail-is-on-my-private-property
