Welcome to OpenStreetMap bocaj94,
Your edit changing the school’s name has been reverted. If you would like to become a valued member of our community, here are some useful things to get you started:
I highly recommend using the OSM wiki-pages. If you’re not sure how to map something within the editor of your choice, the quickest solution is to look at Map Features on the wiki. For more complicated questions you can ask/search on the Help-site.
learnOSM is a good place to learn more about OSM. Instructions are available for using the iD browser editor and the more advanced JOSM editor.
Want to see who’s mapping near you, or want to see how much you’ve been doing yourself, check out the maps at resultmaps.neis-one.org.
So what should you map next? I highly recommend adding features around you. Restaurants, businesses, streets, sidewalks, benches, basically features that you know best. You are the expert. If you find a business already mapped, make sure there is an address. There is something satisfying about filling in the map around you. Or correcting a road when the local government makes changes to it. Do you have any special interests, like biking, hiking, or even trains? Did you know we have the best bike, hiking, and train worldwide networks of any site? But like everything else, they can always use improvements.
Best, Clifford Snow OpenStreetMap Foundation, Data Working Group
